The kingdoms of 18 this world cannot flourish, unless the kingdom of God be established in the midst of them. The very principles of life, and the elements of character, which are necessary for the worldly welfare of a State, can have their origin and nutriment only in those living and earnest convictions that take hold of things higher than the world. The Legislature of our State find their chief em- ployment in regulating and carrying forward those interests and enterprises of the people whic...h have in view the increase and the uses of Property. And rightly so ; it is the sphere of our Legislature. The Government has nothing to do directly with those higher elements by which alone the people can be blessed in their worldly pursuits. But if Legisla- tors and Magistrates do but take with them, and cherish within them a sober sense of higher interests than those which they have visibly to deal with, and do what they do in the fear of God and in the man- ifest righteousness of a Christian heart and purpose, they thereby give a silent but effective guarantee to the perpetuity of our blessings, and the continued prosperity of our Commonwealth.
