Loyalty of the Christian Spirit
Proverbs 24:21
My son, fear you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:


Dr. Buchsel, speaking of the conventicles in Germany, early in the century, in which evangelical piety, which had no voice in the Churches, found refuge, says: "I noticed that all of this way of thinking, however much they suspected regularly ordained ministers and Church authorities, yet appeared to place heartfelt confidence in the king. They were universally persuaded that his majesty personally was well inclined towards them. The king was invariably prayed for with the utmost affection."

(J. F. B. Tinling, B.A.)
