BUTLER TEAM LOSES TO REYNOLDS 20 TO 5 work. They had tried to raise an ar gument with Jesus and failed. The Pharisees were the patriotic party and claimed that the Jew's were God’s chosen people, and as such they were entitled to supreme authority in everything in all the realm. Tlie Hcroditians were the privi- legeu class at court. They were al ways at naggers’ points. They for got these diiterences and formed a confederated conspiracy, it is well to note nere that they were both bitter loes ol Jesus. True they fought each other, but were such fiendish foes of Jesus that they joined hands in a semblance of friendship in opposing Jesus. Evil people and evil nations will join enemies in opposing the Lord. “The Icings of the earth set themselves and tne rulers take coun sel together against the Lord and against his anointed saying let us break their bonds assunder and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: ihe Lord shall lave them in derision." This prophecy was fulfilled to tha tittle in and by this incident. The Question of Taxes It is an evident fact that these people had studied well the attack they aimed to make on Jesus. Tney started off by flattering him. They told him how- good and true as a man he was. They knew what they were saying about Christ was true but they spoke it in a flattering way and it was an insult to him by the way it was spoken. He well knew that they were acting the hypocrite with him. Notice in what a cunning way they put the question: “Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, oi not?” Ordinarily the question would be answered “yes” or “no." Had Jesus have answered either way they would have had him trapped and just where they w-anted him. They were in hopes that that he would answer no. Had he have said no, they, would have made a charge of disloyalty and as being a seditious person, and deliver him to the au thority of the governor, had he have answered yes, they would have ac cused him peiore the people as op posed to the law of God. Either way they thought they would get him in a corner that he could not escape from. He was entirely top wise tho to bo thus easily trapped. The Pharisees contended that paying trib ute to a foreign power was contrary to the law of Moses. This interpreta tion of the law was based more upon sentimen than common sense. Had he have said no, he would have been brought before the governor as a rebel against the Roman government. They failed to put Jesus ini a dilema about answering them. Jesus did not try to evade them, but he did drive home to them an eternal principle by the answer he gave them. He said to them, “bring me q penny that I may see it.’ Tribute had to be paid in the coin o f Rome. He asked them when he had been handed the penny, “whose is this image and super stition”? Immediately they replied to him that it was Caesar’s. If the questioner did not know it the ones who were behind the plot'knew that The baseball game with Reynolds yesterday afternoon was an- interest ing one in, which Reynolds defeated the local team 20 to 6. The second beam is scheduled to .play Reynolds Friday.

He answered them “render unto Caesar the things tao-t are Caesars.” This did not la bel him as a disloyal or seditious; on the other hand it was telling them to be good citizens. Good Citizenship This answer did not sound good to the Pharisees. They had asked him about giving to Caesar. He tells them that citizenship costs something ami must be paid for. This did not mean then nor does it mean now that we must endorse everything the govern ment recommends. me neroditians seemed to have heartily endorsed his attitude towuri the government but were not :n ac cord With ail that he said for he sanl- lor he turned to them and said lurther, - ana to God the things that are God's’’. Neither group was com pletely pleased and satisfied. There was nothing they could do about it. AH they could no was to marvel at the sublime answer and move on. the Christian ought to be the best citizen, because if he is a enrist an he has in him all the qualities of citizenship. One muy • make a good citizen and not be a Christian but it is much easier to be a good citizen u one is a Christian. One cannot be a good Christian and not be a goou citizen. Let s agree with Llnvj'.n when hr said, “let us have faith to believe that right makes might. Christians should inform themselves concerning affairs of government.’’ Functioning of our governmental agencies are a prerequisite of good citizenship. A Christian should exeorcise the rights of franchise. The franoh-se is one ot the most powerful agencies of gov ernment. To fail to exercise our right of franchise is but a little short of abdication of citizenship. This question that was Hiked Jesus was prompted by an evil motive. Had Jesus have answered yes, it would have arrayed f he people against him. Throughout all his ministry Jesus would 1 have the written law placed above the tradition. The Pharisees had six hundred and thirteen com mandments divided, sub-divided and classified. They attached more impor tance to the traditional law than to the written law. Jesus now makes four charges against the Pharisees 1. Teaching as their doctrine the precepts of men. 2. Leaving the commandments of God mid holding to the traditions of men. 3. Reject ing tho commandments of God nmi keeping the traditions of men. -1. Making void the word of God bj tradition. We kre to clearly understand that the Pharisees and Heroditans were not seeking knowledge, but were en deavoring to embarrass and cause trouble for Jesus. Citizens of Two Worlds In Philippians 3:20 we read, "foi our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour. The Lord Jesus Christ”. Here Paul says to the Philippians and to othei people; as well, “you are citizens of two worlds. If one really renders "unto God the things that are -Gods” he will fulfill his duty, to man. This in< turn implies good' citizenship. Christianity shoulders many respon sibilities. Many of life's burdens arc Born by Christianity. When one be comes a Christian, many of life’s bur dens are made easier. Christianity assumes the responsibilities of many of life’s weary burdens. Christianity makes a joy of many things that be fore were burdens. This is the Lord’s olan of relieving us of many of life's burdens. Ten Citizenship Commandments For Christians Our Advanced Quarterly gives us tlie following Ten Commandments of Good Citizenship. If we will study them carefully we will find that they embody all the requirements oi a Christian: 1. Thou shalt recognize thy obli gation to God and country. You are a citizen of two worlds. 2. Thou shalt render unto God the things that are God’s. "Upon the first day of the weelc let everyone of you lay by in store as God hath prospered him." 3. Thou shalt pay taxes to thy government for governmental pro tection.” 4. Thou shalt inform- thyself con cerning governmental affairs. 5. Thou shalt advocate and sup port the highest and best as a citi zen. 6. Thou shalt oppose anything andl everything that makes for tho hurt of the people. 7. Thou shalt put principle abovo political partiess. 8. Thou shalt put God and spirit ual good above greed for gold. 9. Thou shalt put the good of all the people above individual selfish interests. 10. Thou shalt acknowledge thy citizenship by voting. When thees commandments are carried out to the tittle we are ful filling the requirements of being a Christian. After all is said and done the most mportant thing in all this world for every individual is to be a Christian and a goodi citizen. Lets look wel to our duties then I as citizens and: Christians and then we will be sure heirs to eternal life.
