TOEIR DUTIES IN THE FPREIENT CRISIS—BERMON BY TOE REV. ARTHUR MITCILLL, In the First Presbyterian Church lnst ovening the Rov, Arthur Mitcbell preached s ssrmon on **Tho Dutios of Cbristisn Citizens in the Prosent Crisis," roforring to tho political situs- tion In this city. Hochose the following toxt : Take you wiso maen, aud understanding, and known among you, sad X will mako them rulers over you, And yo anawercd rae and rald, Thothing which thon hnnruken s good for unta do, Dewteronainy, 1., 134 and 14, Iu boginning, ho stated that he would spesk upon tho political duties which seomed (o riso out of thosituation of public affalrs in this city at tho prosont time—daties whieh thosoe circum- atances imposed upoi Christian citizens. If soy apology should bo thought neceasary, unless ho failed to carry tho audience with him, the dis- course would furnish ita own {ustification, He had solectod tho toxt bocause of all passages that one moowmed tho one most fit for citizens to observe and heed on thoapproach of the olection, in order that good and wise men ehould ba {nstalled ns rulors over the pooplo, Tho duty cnjoined in tho text was tho duty above all others of tho peoplo of Chicago,—tho duty of overybody exercising intelligent and conscientions suffrage. Mosen gave a constitu. tlon to tho Isrselitos, but it could not eavo ‘the peoplo unless the oflices wero admunisterod by good men, Tho salvation of our country did not depend upon ita lawe, but upon good men, who would give us good resulls, evan with a bad form of govornment. An Lonest and under- dlanding man would do more for our good, ovou with an imperfect conatitution, than a bad man with tho bost code o existence, Nothing was so much at stako at present as tho gotting of pood men sa rulets, JBut this was not all. ‘Thoro tnust be a gonoral adherencs to the laws laid down. ‘Thoy hadalso the duty of - submitting to taxation. It wan thodutv of every citizen to pay all tho tax'imposed, and to give a Aruo estimato of Lis vroperty in Lis aworn state- ments bofore tho Asscesor. 'Chore wasa third duty, sud that was to co-operato with tho Goy- ornment when it was threatened, and to aid tho ofticers in tho mnintenanco of their propar poaitlons. Bat sfier all, the most impcriant duty was to have geod mon in office, which would obviato the crises which occur somotimos whon people aro obliged to rid thomsolves by violonce of unjust rulers, Basing what lio biad to eay dirsctly upon tho Word of God, Lo wished o0 say thas tho f:et duty of all citizens was to vots at every clection, and to vote intelligently, 1t was a Diblical duty, a Christiso oblipation. o woutd onforce this by saying that it was Inid upon tha pesple by God Himaelt, The duty cams dircetly from God, because tho act of intolligent viting wns & neces- sity fortho maintenancoof good govornment, and tho Government to which this act of voting gave & pormanenco was & Divins 1natitution. By thiy bo did not mean that soy particular form of Government was ordained of God, but that Lumnn Government had its charter from God's own hand, written on the necessitics of tman's owa nature, and in Iis inspired Word, Somo form of civil adminlctration woe an absolute necesaity for communities to fulfill tho duties for which God created the paople. Souie form of Government was a noceseity to sscure that hopplnoes and prospetity for which God lutonded us, 1f tho ¢nds wero i:uod. thoe moana wers of Diviue origin. n God's own Word was found the foundation of governmont, glven by Divine authority, aud all the groat principles which wore desigued for the paallagln wero therein sot forth. What followed from thia? It followed that all the rights and dutics growing out of governmontal uuthorny were duties that came from God. 'The dutios of & family were Bomowhat daoply folt, und the duties growiog ont of them—parontal duties, for instanco—wera atso conaidored roligious, tobakept. But it was uot genorally folt that political dutles were of that kind, and wero marked by God's own autbority. Caating tho ballot was & right and n privilege, but wea it only that? 'Was thero not a reason for regard- Ing'it sa & duty aa woll as a right—as ono of tho most imperative dutiea imposcd by God? It was a8 indisponsablo a necosslty as tho family, and the statament waa ontiroly truo that good gov- erument was &8 necosaary as good discipline in the family, and was sa distinctly chartored in tha Ward of God, Political duties woro of procisely tho sama quality as thoe duties of tho family, and tho name of citizon was as truly ssorod as the namo of fathor, When ho weut to the polis to cast bis voto, he was golog to porform sy great a datyas in any othor duty devalving upon the hesd of a family. Christian mon had heratofore regarded the politioal dutiea not as obligatory, but rather ay somothiog that they could use or not. Again, the city was a corporate body, snd had adobt, Whero did that indebtednoss rost? 1t rested upon each of the citizens, and every man was rosponsible for it. He who neglacted to sccure the gavernment which should do the moet to cancal that dobt did 80 &t Lis peril, Look at the facts rogarding the city, All bor debtors woro uupaid, Al her employes wors nnpaid. Even the jpoor school-teachers had not beoa given thelr salatios, This was becsuso tho poo- pla had not dous thelr duty in getting wiso and onest men lu office. If they dia all thoy could to avort this state of things, thon they Lsd dono their duty, but if not, thoy Lad faued in Shelr Chriutiau duty.

Mauy of thom were (mpoverished by reason of the fluancial condition of tho city, Think of she publicachools, the manitary interest, tho religions prvileges aud rights which could ouly be securud by a peaceablo and (air admialstration, 1f the right of suffrago were exercived, all thode interosty would be protected, bus If it were not exercised, the people failed iu a vory imporsant srust, It was nob only this generation that would suffer by iho bad otate of affairs, but many gouorations to come. The peopls were buund to protect not only the {utoreats to its liviog bt of thoss yet unborn citizons of Chicago. liardly avy more pernicions inlience could como upon & city than a corzupt governmont, "1t wsa & tomptation toeveryform of iniquity, and breathed a peetitootislair. Bad governwout, whick aroso out of a failure to excrcise the privileges of suffrage, excited aud inflamed the public mind and absorbed the aitontion from spiritual and religious things, If the citizons of the community did vot take Lold and got & good govesumont, thoy would have, bus & repetition 40d skamefally. treated, as they of the past. Thers was no Infinence which Chioago during th e aat yesror two. If this more gerjounly impeded the cause of raligion than these disorders which wore entatied unon a community by bsd government. Tha duty of yoting might with poculiar force Le brought upon the peopls ure of tho magnitude of the city, The politics of the citios of the land would soon gavorn the politics of tho land. During the inst ive years there bad boen s great tendepcy to an incrense of Ppopalation in the great cities, and in New York thero wero children already born who would yot 808 & moetropolis larger than that great mart. Thoe cities would eventually control tho land. Thera wors conmderations which would lead tho citizena Loreatior to do their duty in municipel Alsira, It waa, no doubt, personally dissgreo- able to many peoplo to take An sctive part iu politics, and ko romombered how, at 3 o'clock at night, after the last election, when bo Liad spent tho dey st the polls, ho lay awake and was unable to {ind any roat, It seom- ed anif the whole ar was permeatod with the vilo Ianguaga that hsd beon poured into bia ears during tho day. Yet it must be done, and by avery good Christian citizen, or the city would be doomed. 1t was maid to bo dangerous for s man_to make himself cooepicuoualy known to thoruflans who frequented tho voting-places. But wan it Christlan-like for a man to sbun_bis duty on account of persoual danger? That was not the mpirit that animated the mon of 'i6—Warren, llancock., snd Adams, Warren nced not bave died at Buuker Hij lanceck wight have rested cootent with bis Jiosition ataong the eolid mercuants of Bostou, They, iuwever, wero mon who ftruck whea they Liad au arm to etrike for the estublishwent of a good government, ‘Ihiers was another idea. Tt was anid to bo im- possiblo to tedeemn tha city from the bonds in which it had fallen, ‘Ihis, waid the speakor, was a bad yoar to acknowledge it. The attempt had nuver been vigorously made to make the city wlat phe ought to be. A few men liad put forth their foeblo eforts, bLut tho groat maes of respactable men had stood aloof, and taken o part in politics. 'Llio reform could not be accomplished by ono monster mass-meoting, but it could be done by the uoited persistent 6tlort of good mon. Buch an attempt had not yet boen made, Alf tho power gathered in tho baado of tho intelligent, moral, and woalthy men of tho city had uot yot boen Lrought tuto tho fleld. Yet thoy had the power, and it proporly dirocted would carry tue clection of the city and county. This was nota strifo be- tweon politicsl * partios.
