Secular Government

     "The United States government is the best human government upon the earth.  God suffered it to be established in order that liberty and freedom of conscience might be enjoyed; and God says, "For this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose."  So far as freedom, and liberty, and the Constitution, and the righteous laws founded upon the same, are concerned, the United States government may be considered of God. It was the best government which the people, under the circumstances, were capable of receiving."
