The Ohio Independent Baptist, May 1964

{concluded from page 3 ) Camp Patmos Schedule, 1964 good or detrimental to the good of Jur democracy - all i our obli– gation to create a wholesome and healthful government. Sanction of law, reward for obedi– ence, punishments for di obedience, are a law of necessity. System of ~ducation and training, suitable hou - ng, public utilities, recreation cen– :er , the develo,pment of men's talents, .he a i ting and control of commerce 1nd indu try, the international rela- ions - all these cannot be po sible Nithout a proper government. We 1eed courts, judges, lawyers, jurymen, Jolicemen, teachers, to meet the need )f all men; and this can only be done DY adequate, good government. How ;an any Christian, in the light of Nhat God has said in the Bible, and ..rom rea on deducted from sound moral premises, conclude with the 1 sumption that he must not meddle with politics? We are told to pray for ho e in authority that we may lead a quite and peaceful life; to do so ind yet fail to vote is a travesty. lt is the Christian's duty to reform ~overnment ; we are never ,to up-root ind to destroy, but must in all our ~nergies direct the powers of ,govern– ment into channels of moral law. We ire bound to obey the government as 2hri t directed us to do, unless our :>bedience is required to violate moral Jbligation, and to invade the rights )f conscience. From what is et forth in these orinciples - all of whi.oh are in– \pired and taken from the writings )f attorney Charles G . Finney. They 1eed to be re-evaluated and prac- iced in our day. For a full account )f what Finney has written on human ~overnmcnt, if you are interested !nough to know thi s truth, I refer ~ou to his systematic theology. ~le 111a )' 11<>t be alJJ e tu cha11gt 1 our "'ircu111sta1 ces l)LJt \\ e Cd11 de te rmi11c J1e at 111c)S[)l1ere.
