Texas Secretary of State

Politics are a part of religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God … Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you, He does see it, and He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course they take.
Charles Finney, 1792-1875 (Nineteenth Century Evangelist and Author)
