The lessons for the past quarter bo-
Kln with the dellveraDoe of the child
Moses and end with the apostasy of
the golden calf and cover a period
of approximately 80 years. In almost
every lesson there Is something pro
phetic or typical of Christ, but two
things may be mentioned with special
emphasis, viz., the passover, lesson VI,
see 1 Cor 5:7, and the bread from
heaven, le#Bon VIII, see Matt. 26:26, I
Cor. 11:23, 24
For the younger classes a most fas
cinating story can be told when pre
senting this review. Describe Miriam
watching the ark. Pharaoh's daughter
espying the ark, sending the babe to
Its mother and later adopting It as
her son. Tell of the day when Moses
made his great choice, of the time he
thought he could free his brethren,
but failed, not yet having the neces
sary power from God. Then the 40
years as a shepherd (John 10:14), the
revelation at Horeb, the conflict at
Pharaoh’s court, the passover, and the
flight by night, the crossing of the
Red sea, the gift of the quails and
the manna and that dramatic scene of
the giving of the law. Enough Is here
presented to more than occupy the
lesson period.
Four Episodes.
For the older classes. The lessons
of this quarter seem to group them
selves into four general episodes:
(1) Moses, his salvation, education,
flight and call; (2) Pharaoh, his pride,
humiliation and the passover; (8) the
flight, at the Red sea, being fed In the
wilderness, and (4) the law, God's
holiness, hta commandments and the
great apostasy.
The following brief review is sug
gested: Have one class member tell
of the steps leading up to the Israellt
lsh slavery In Egypt Let another pu
pil present either orally or written, an
account of the life of Moses up to
the time of his appearing before Pha
raoh with his apparently audacious
request, "Let my people go.” Let that
studeut not only recite the historical
facts but also show God’s dealing
with this son of an obscure slave. He
might Illustrate by alluding to others
whom God has raised up to "do ex
ploits” In his dealings with men. Dan
iel 11:32. This will cover four les
sons. Another pupil should then pre
sent as concisely as possible that re
markable conflict which God, through
his representative Moses, worked out
with Pharaoh. This whole episode
was treated as lesson V, the text be
ing Ps. 105:23-38. and In lesson VI
the record of the passover. This lat
ter, the great feast of the Jews and
Christ who Is our passover ought to
be carefully and yet emphatically pre
sented. Let us not neglect to present
the Bible teaching on this, one of the
greatest truths ever revealed to man
by a gracious, loving, heavenly father,
Heb. 9:22.
Member as Spokesman.
The third episode can be presented
If in class by a student, or if the re
view Is a general one by the whole
school. Let some particular class se
lect one of Its members as spokesman.
This embraces lessons VII and VIII
and is a gracious revelation of God's
protecting care and also his abundant
supply for our every need. In this
section Is another and a most beauti
ful suggestion of that "living bread”
so freely provided for all who will
accept.
Coming now to the last great epi
sode of this quarter, the events In con
nection with the giving of the law,
we embrace lessons IX, X, XI and XII.
Before God gave them the various
commandments he sought to empha
size his majesty and his holiness by
the smoking mountain, etc. We then
have two lessons on the decalogue, a
most fitting arrangement Inasmuch as
the first part deals with the God-side
of life—man's relation to hts creator
—and the second part has to do with
man’s relations to his brother man.
The last lesson is a terrible Illustra
tion of this dual fact. The utter ina
bility of the natural heart to fulfill its
high sounding promises. Its exceeding
sinfulness and the necessity of right
relations with him who alone can keep
it pure is. it seems to us, the impor
tant lesson of the setting up of the
golden calf.
The two reading lessons give us the
true light of the divine patience and
the divine persistence.
The golden text Is also an epitome
of the spirit of these lessons.

The Christian
Church and
Social Government

TEXT "Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s;" “Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself."—Matthew 28:21 and
S9.
■ ■ ■■ s These words of
tour Lord Jesus
Christ suggest a
sermon on the
relation of the
Christian church
to civil govern
ment. But first,
what is the Chris
tian church? It Is
gathered out of
whom a super
natural work has
been redeemed
and sanctified
the atonement of
Christ, and as members of his spirit
ual body, are separated In an essen
tlal sense from the world They are
waiting for his re-appearlng, and ex
pect to be glorified and reign with
him over the millennial earth
There Is a point of view therefore, j
In which such a people have nothing
to do with civil government because
such government Is a part of the sys
tem of ungodliness represented by
•Satan whom the Scriptures call the
god of this world. Ills dominion Is to
be destroyed when Christ comes to
set up his kingdom In Its place. True
Christians, therefore, are not expect
ing the millennium to be brought
about by moral or political reforms,
but are waiting for his coming to in
troduce and make It a possibility.
What Caetar Represents.
But while this Is true, such Chris
tians believe that they have obliga
lions to the government under which
they live, privileges to he enjoyed and
a stewardship for which they must
give account of God. Paul claimed
protection because of his Roman cltl
zenshlp, but no man has a moral
right to ask protection from a govern
ment to which he Is Indifferent, and
for which he will not use his Influ
ence to make It the best possible.
“Caesar" represented the civil gov
ernment of Christ's day. and the
things to he rendered unto him were
the taxes Imposed by the Roman em
pire. But the "Caesar” of the Vnlted
States to whom we are to pay tribute
Is not an Individual or an empire, but
In an Important sense It Is ourselves.
If this Is a "government of the peo
ple, for the people and by the peo
ple," we are our own ('aesar, and to
ourselves wo render tribute Accord
ing to Christ's command therefore,
we are to support this government In
accordance with the laws it has made.
And yet more Is Implied, for we are
not only "Caesar” to whom tribute
must be paid, but "Caesar" who pays
the tribute. For what do we demand
this tribute therefore? How much of
the taxes levied by us on our fellow
men goes Into the pockets of those
to whom It does not belong, because
we are Indulging our own con
venience and letting things alone?
How much of it supports our con
stabulary and law courts, our alms
houses and Jails whose existence Is
because of Iniquitous legislation af
fording license to sin’ Are we satis
fied that In these things we can give
account of our stewardship with Joy?
How much attention, as Christians,
have we given to these things? How
much do we know, and how much
have we prayed about them?
Party or Purity, Which?
This brings us to our second obli
gation In relation to civil government, j
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self.” Of course, this mean 9 that we
shall try to save our neighbor and
bring him with us on the way to
heaven. But It means also that we
can not be Indifferent to the earthly
difficulties of the way. In other ]
words, we must not permit Satan to
flaunt his temptations in the way
without an effort to destroy them
There are dram shops, brothels and
gambling dens open for the allure
ment of our young men and women.
If our newspapers are to be believed,
law Is defied by municipal and state
officers to the demoralization of both
public and private standards of right
and wrong. Who are responsible for
these things? Will not God hold
those professing Christians to ac
count who, for the sake of party
fealty on the one hand, or lack of
public duty on the other, to have fail
ed to overthrow them.
The New Testament says scarcely
anything about the relation of the
Christian church to civil government
because in the time of Christ and his
apostles there was no civil govern
ment In the sense in which we con
ceive of it. But the duty of the In
dividual Christian Is Included never
theless In the second commandment
of the law, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself," for "love work
eth no evil to his neighbor,” either by
omission or commission.
It Is a common plea of the faint
heartened that success depends main
ly on luck. I am no believer in luck,
and the man who Is content to wait
for a stroke of good fortune, will
probably wait til! he has a stroke of
paralysis.—Blr F. Treves.
True as Praching’.
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” that’s
true. The dollar saved and in your pocket is worth two earned.
More truth. But here's some more that’s true as preaching:
The dollar safely deposited in the bank is worth two jingiiug
in your poeket. \Vhyt 15eeau.se it is safe. You are not liable
to lose it. Also, it is an incentive toward father accumulation.
It is safe from the hold-up man, can’t find the hole in your
pocket, is where every earned dollar ought to lie. subject to
