The duty of loyalty and obedience which a person owes to the State of which he is a citizen or a subject. In the light of Christian principles this duty does not involve submission to a force which may never be resisted, nor compliance with a condition for the sake of peace and security; it is a religious duty founded on obedience to God by whose authority the civilrulers exercise their power.
