" But now, my dear friends, let us not neglect our Christianity because of our citizenship! Let us not forget that our real weapons are of a spiritual nature, also that if we use our rights of citizenship, we dare not use them the way the world generally does; and let us be very careful that our congregations do not degenerate into arenas of worldly politics because of this opportunity! Otherwise, God cannot be with us, and the outward victory that we would perhaps gain would of necessity result in a disgraceful inner condition. "

― Matthew C. Harrison , At Home in the House of My Fathers
