Excerpt from The Moral Responsibility of the Citizen and the Nation in Respect to the Fugitive Slave Bill: A Discourse Delivered April 10, 1851, on Occasion of the Public Fast, in the Orthodox Congregational Church, Townsend, Mass This is called a Christian land. We are called a Christian people. If there be any significance or truth in this epithet, it must lie in the fact that we hold ourselves amenable to a right cous God as our Sovereign; that we regard his revealed will as our supreme rule of duty that the great and eternal principles of rectitude inculcated by Jesus Christ, in connection with the express commands of Jehovah, are made the foundation of our social, civil, and religious blessings; and that the binding authority of these can never be destroyed. It inheres in their very nature. It is their unchanging equity. And it is this principle that gives power to civil enactments; that renders them obligatory upon the con science, and creates the moral duty of obedience.
