The Peril of the Republic of the United States of America - Percy T. Magan

have never in my life cast a vote in city, State, or
national elections. In saying this I would in no
sense judge my brethren who have considered it
their duty to do this; suffice it to say that it has
been my conviction that as a citizen of the kingdom
of heaven, and as an ambassador of Jesus Christ, I
would serve humanity the best by holding entirely
aloof from the political strifes which divide men
into factions and parties, and devoting my strength
to the sweetest of all ministries, that of
reconciliation between Christ and sinners. It is only
in instances like the present, when the things which
are done are the things which are warned against in
the Word of God, that I feel free to lift my voice
and pen, trusting and praying that the spirit in
which I write may rest upon and enter into those
who read. With me the events which are now
transpiring are not the working out of mere
political theories, but of great prophetical
principles. It is for this reason that I write. It is
because I wish my position upon this matter of
Christians in politics to be clearly understood that I
have taken time and space for this digression.
