BIBLE READING
Above all the measures of war
time and post-war planning -in
industry, business, education, re
ligion—the supreme need on the
part of us all is for clearer moral
insight, more unyielding devotion
to truth, a more steadfast and
farseeing spirit of brotherhood, a
new determination to be more
worthy of the great sacrifices
that are being made in our be
half. No one source of inspira
tion is better able to provide for
our need than the Bible.
Through long generations and
among countless people of many
nations the Bible has done this
for those who gave heed to its
guidance. It has influenced the
deep springs of our national life.
We may well expect that if fresh
attention be given to it now by
the American people, there will
flow into our national life purify
ing and tonic streams of moral
purpose and faith that will count
tremendously in the remaining
months of the war and the peril
ous years that follow.
ANESTHETIC
The governor of Pennsylvania was
presiding at a public dinner. At th«
conclusion of the repast came the
inevitable speechmaking, A digni
fied and impressive gentleman, but
withal a terrible bore, arose at the
invitation of the chairman and pro
ceeded to deliver an exceedingly
dull and interminably long disser
tation on everything in general and
nothing in particular.
The audience became impatient
and inattentive. A hum of conversa- j
lion began, which grew louder and
louder. The governor felt it his duty
to rap for order. As he hit the table
with his gavel, the handle snapped
and the heavy hardwood head flew
through the air and landed with n
resounding whack squarely on the
high, bald forehead of a gentleman
seated a few feet away. The guest,
already slightly groggy, slumped in
his chair.
A horrified silence followed, but
the speaker, blissfully unaware of
the mishap, droned on.
The injured gentleman revived
slightly, lifted his eyes wearily, and
murmured: “Hit me again; I can
still hear him.”

CHRISTIANITY AND
DEMOCRACY
LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:13-17; Roman*
13:8-10; I Peter 2:13-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—Bear ye one another’*
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.—
Galatians 6:2.
No form of government can claim
divine authority, * for God’s Word
docs not prescribe any special form
of government. But (and this is most
important) the principles upon
which government should be estab
lished are clearly given in God’s
Word, and the form of rule which
best fits into the teaching of the
, Word necessarily calls for our inter
est and support.
We find in the Bible the declara
tion that men are equal in the
sight of God, that government is to
be a ministry for God (see last
week’s lesson), receiving its authori
ty from Him and serving Him in
exercising that power. Men are to
be loyal to the government be
cause they are loyal to God.
Our lesson carries forward the
teaching of last Sunday. It tells us
that;
The Christian Citizen Is—
I. Subject to Both God and Coun
try (Mark 12:13-17).
, His devotion to God and the things
of God is to be expected of the Chris
tian. We almost said that it is taken
; for granted, and sometimes that is
so true there is no reality in his
life. But surely if he is a follower
of Christ he must be devoted to Him
and to His cause.
But what about his country? That
relation appears anew in the strik
ing story of Christ and those who
came to test Him, yes, to trap Him
with a skillfully worded question.
The Pharisees, who hated Rome
for its domination of Palestine, and
the Herodians, who supported Rome
in its control of the land, were ene
mies, but they joined forces to
tempt Christ. They knew that if He
said “Yes" to their question, the
Jews would be angry, and if He said
"No,” He could be condemned as
a traitor to Rome.
The trap was set, but it caught
only the crafty hunters. Taking their
own pocket money He declared that
if they used Caesar’s money they
ought to pay taxes to Caesar. The
coin stood for an orderly govern
ment, benefits of which they enjoyed
and which they ought to support.
No real Christian will evade his
duty to his country whether it be to
pay taxes, to take part intelligently
in its government, to defend it, to I
pray for it, or otherwise to show his
I love. One of the blots on the Chris
tian church is the lack of civic right
eousness on the part of many of its
members.
11. Devoted to Both Brother and
Neighbor (Rom. 13:8-10).
The Christian loves his brethren; i
indeed that love is one of the tests
by which we may know that a man
is truly born again (I John 3:14).
But that love reaches out beyond
the circle of the brethren and
touches every man who has need of
it. The teachers of the Jewish law 1
had sought to circumscribe that
word “neighbor,” but the Lord ef
fectively dealt with that viewpoint
in the story of the Good Samaritan
(Luke 10).
All the commandments concern- j
ing the vital matter of personal re
lationship are summed up in the one j
admonition, "Love thy neighbor as
thyself" (v. 9). When love controls,
there will be no social dishonesty,
strife or ill-will. There will be no
violence to the person or property
of another, for "love worketh no
ill to his neighbor.”
This is the real "good neigh
bor policy." Even between nations,
we need more real love and less ef
fort to impress one another by dip
lomacy and good will expeditions.
Let there be less political manipula
tion and more loving, and we shall
find our neighbor, both personal
and national, responding in kind.
Love draws out love from another.
HI. Submissive to Both the Law of
God and Man (I Pet. 2:13-17).
"Fear God" (v. 17); that is, be
eager that there is no failure on
your part to please Him by obeying
His law. That we expect of the
Christian. But we expect more; he
is to be a law-abiding citizen,
obeying the laws of his country "for
the Lord's sake” (v. 13).
The believer may, by his godly
faithfulness to his government, ef
fectively witness against the ig
norant criticism of foolish men who
would have us think that being a
Christian makes a man a weakling,
or so other-worldly that he is use
less in this world.
Our freedom in Christ is not an
excuse for careless or wicked liv
ing. Not at all—just the opposite in
fact. We "honor all men.” How can
that be done? Only by the grace of
God; but by His blessing we can do
it. That makes for the real appreci
ation of man, which is the very foun
dation of our democracy. If it
means anything, it must have as its
foundation principle the supreme
value of human life and the dignity
of the sou! of man.
