Golden Text -Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers. --- Rom. 13:1, • The Lesson in its Setting Time and place—The question about the tribute money was pro- pounded to Jesus in the temple on Tuesday, April 4, A.D. 30, during the week before the crucifixion. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans from Corinth during his three months' stay in Greece in the course of his third missionary tour, A.D. 57. .First Peter was written (Prof. W. H, Ben- nett in The New -Century Bible) in Rome about A.D. 60-65, and was de- sign'ed for the Christian Jew of Asia Minor. Dues, Earthly and Heavenly And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees. and of the Herodians. The Herodians were the royalist par- ty, in favor of the dynasty of Herod the Great as a buffer against Roman authority. The Pharisees, on the contrary, were fiercely opposed to the Herods, as puppets of Rome, and of course were bitter enemies of the Roman rulers. That they might catch him in talk. Their 'aim was to entrap Jesus into some statement that ':could be made to bear the aspect of sedi- tion and perhaps of treason to the Roman government. And when they were coupe, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one. In this hypocritical beginning the speakers showed their false na- ture. They presented to regard Christ as a true teacher, and yet were seeking to convict him of falseness. For thou rggardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God. There was a sly object in this mode of approach, for if Christ's answer should favor the Roman Em- peror, they would make him appear to the people as currying favor with, the authorities, regarding "the person of men"; while if he took the oppo- site position, he would lay himself open to the charge of sedition. Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? "Caesar" is the same as the titles "Kaiser" and "Czar"; it was the official title of the Roman Em- peror, at this time Tiberius. Shall we give, or shall we not give? The question may have been repeated in eagerness, or this second question may have been asked' by one of the two parties uniting, the other party having stated the problem. 13ut He, knowing their hypocrisy. They were pretending to be earnest seekers of the right way, while in reality they were trying to entrap Jesus. Said unto them,' Why make ye trial of nue? bring me a• denarius, that I may see it. The denarius was the silver coin in which the poll tax was paid. It was worth from fifteen to seventeen cents, and was the day's wage of a common laborer, equal in purchasing power to about two dol- lars of our money. And they brought it. Probably with sneers, thinking that Jesus was merely fencing for time. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? The Roman Em- peror usually. had his portrait stamp- ed on the coins issued during his reign, and the :custom is followed by many modern nations. The "super- scription' included the Emperor's name and titles, And they said unto him, Caesar's, No other answer was possible, but; theydoubtless hesitated, not knowing to what he was leading theft,. And Jesus said onto them. Spring- ing the trap which he had been set- ting for his enemies while they were setting their trap for him. Render unto Caesar the things that are Cae- sar's, and unto. God the things that. are God's. If they decided that Cae- sar had no right to a tribute, they were not to pay the tax;,if they On - eluded that he had such a right, they should pay it. At the same time otir, Lord clearly implied that the Ronan, government had a just claim on the, ;Yews, a ciaiin represented by that little silver coin. • •And they marvelled greatly at him, This answer was not an evasion, but a. very real reply, "setting to all tirne and for all circumstances the princi- ple underlying the question. It was an answer not only most truthful, but of marvelous beauty and depth, It elevated the controversy into quite another sphere, where there was no • conflict between what was due to 6.6 God and to ratan indeed, no conflict at all, but divine harmony and peace.". The Powers That. Be Let every soul be in subjection to the' higher powers. That is, to the civil. authorities. "It was easy for a certain type of rnind to argue that, since Jesus and His Messianic king- dom would soon displace 'all the "in- stitutions of the present evil age, the civil government had no 'legitimate authority. For there is no power but of God. The -unspeakable tyrant, Nero, was Emperor of Rome at this tirne, but he was just beginning, his horrible career. Still, evenat his. worst,he represented law and order, and the power he exercised was con- ferred on li.ini by Jehovah. Pau]; in his great and extended work, was of- ten protected by Roman officers. And the powers that be are ordained of - God. "The passage assumes, of course ,that where human law, or its minister, contradicts divine precepts, (as when a Christian is commanded to do wrong), then obedience to the Higher Authority roust take preced- ence, Therefore, hethat resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God. Every law -breaker is a sinner as well as a criminal, is condemned by the Infinite Judge as well as by the human judge. And they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. Human courts may not get hold of them, but dire retribution will fall upon, them in the judgment of the Great Day. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil, Oppon- ents of prohibition have no honour- able motive for their opposition to the reform, only an evil motive. They either want to get drunk themselves, or they want to get rich by making others drunk. Disregarding their big professions to the opposite, it all boils down to that. And wouldest thou haveno fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise for the same. The wets are constantly criticising the methods used by prohibition enforcement of- ficers. For he is a minister of God to thee for good. The ruler is God's ser- vant (literally, "deacon")for your ad- vantage, to do you good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid. The forces of righteousness need to make their adversaries more afraid of therit. For he beareth not the sword in vain, The Roman mode of capital punish- ment was beheading with the sword, a fate which tradition assigns to Paul himself. In token of authority to inflict this penalty, a sword was on occasion borne before the magis- trate. For he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. We need prohibition laws "with teeth in them," laws car- rying penalties that will be respected. Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. DR. C. C. RAM[AGE DENTIST, GORRIE Phone 21 (Stinson residence).

That is, devoting their Jives, whether consciously or not, to carry- out God's will of law and order in his •world. Render to all their dues. This • is the basal principle that Paul is en- forcing: cultivate' the sense of right ful obligation to all men, Tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear.; honor to whom, honor. "Tribute: the taxes paid by a subject nation; custom: the dues paid in any case for the support of civil government; the former was a tax on persons and property, the latter on merchandise; fear: awe felt .to the person executing justice; hon- or: respect .due to any person in au- thority,' ' Free But Servants Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake. Not through fear of punishment, but to follow Christ's example, to carry out Christ's will, and for the welfare and good repute of Christ's church. Whether to the king, as supreme. The king was the infamous Emperor Nero, for even that monster stood for God -ordained law. Or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil -doers and for praise to them that do well. It it was the duty of the early Christians to uphold the established govern- ment, though it was despotic, how much more urgent* is our duty to obey the free and just government under which we happily live! How much more forcibly would Peter and Paul, if they were living today, com- mand all Christians to promote obed- ience to our Christian laws! For so is the will of God, that by well -doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish :nen. Men who through ignorance, perhaps wil- ful ignorance, of the real character of the Christians, charged them with being law -breakers and subverters of authority. As free, and not using your free- dom for a cloak of wickedness„ "If under the pretence that tleiey were asserting their Christian freedom., they were rude, overbearing, insolent, regardless of the conventional cour- tesies of life, what was this but to make their liberty a cloak for base- ness? 13ut as bondservants of God, "Heaven takes our most dreaded terms, and makes them sparkle in its own light, till what had seemed the synonym of terror becomes the target of our noblest aims.

But, you must have a 'reason why" sit and that reason roust be kept before all of the people all of the li fE7 tune. Say to yourself, "Why do people buy elsewhere?" Ask your- self, "Why ,shouid the people of Wingham buy from true what 1 II have to sell, in preference to my competitor?" ft (The Doctor of Towns) Says A few years ago the people .of Wingham and surrounding territory HAD to • buy front you, or go without. As you know only too well, that is not now the case. Good roads and motor cars, magazines, metropolitan papers and radios, plus free mail delivery, has changed all that, • Today people caln get anything they need or want, from. whom and whence they please—not only can, but do. They can get it from you, but whether they do or do not depends on you. In practically every community we hear: "Outside advertising is enticing our people"—"Competition of combines is taking our .busi- ness." Maybe this is true, but what are you doing to counteract it? As an excuse and alibi for lack of business, thousands of merchants say, "People don't buy like they used to." That is ab- solutely true—people don't buy as they used to. But how about you—do you still sell "like you used to?" Why should people stick to the old, humdrum, ‘veekly "tradin'," when shopping and buying are now made such a pleasure? Why go to a funeral when a festival is on? If other stores invite the people and give them a reason why they should buy from theta, of course your customers are going to accept the invitation at least once. Then, if those extending the invitation sell and serve as today's buyers like to be sold and served, they will continue to accept the repeated invitation. You would do it yourself under similar circumstances. Answer both of these questions ---they trust be answered not only by yourself, but to your customers if your are going to continue in business and keep out of the red. Business goes to the place where it is invited—you can't ex- pact business if you don't ask for it. Business stays at the place where it is well treated, backed nip with an invitation to oontinne the pleasure of such treatment.. liminess comes back to the place where it is served best and hi where the invitation to -profit froth such service is kept constantly in the forefront.
