Golden Text—Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.—Lukc, Christ's trlumphant entrance into Jorusalem revealed lis popularity and power with the people, who had assembled in Jerusalem for the pass- over. The influence of the Master with the masses threatened the re- liglous and political leaders with a reformation that would destroy them. Jesus had demonstrated His attitude toward the combination of religious and financial interests when He drove the money changers out of the Temple. During most of His minfs- try He had met the intense opposition of the Pharisees. diametrically opposite their hypocritical and formalistic ideals. which He had exposed with such skill were detsrmined to destroy 'hey formed a combination Him. of the (c) Being a phy-|religious and political forces to mur- | der Him. The Sadducecs, who had not been as bitter against the Lord as the Pharisees, were offended by His teachings, which were, they felt, | untagonistic to their interests, They could not endure the revelation of the sinful life of the Jewish leaders, Tha orthodex Pharisecs and the liberal Sadducees would never have entered Into a combination with the Herodians except they had been moved by the strongest possible mo- tives. They hated the despised Hero- dians. who were champions of supporters of the family of Herod They were considered to be renciudes and would not have been welcomed as allies if they had not feared the popularity of Jesus threatencd their own position, as leaders. They had no sympathy with the Herodians' position that the law of Moses, pro- hibiting the placing of a stranger over tie nation as ruler, did not ap- | ply if they were placed over them by some conquering power. The com- bination of these three Hebrew par- tics, which were naturally and his- torically antagon ic to one another, an effort to destroy the popular- prestige and power of Jesus, was | a powerful combine. They sought to entrap Him by a serles of questions that covered politics, theology and ethics, They tried to turn the tide of POPUlAT favor against Jesus by ques- | toning Mis authority. He in turn put them to confusion by questioning them concerning the authority of Johr we Baptist. He indirectly an- swered them by the parable of the vineyard, which vividiy painted Israel's approaching doom. They understood His charges against themselves that the Master pictured In the parable. Jesus scaled His fate by His predic- tlon of the dlsplacement of the clhosen peogle by the gentiles, His <tndemnation of the eccleslastical lcaders’ iniquity, and His claims to dei They tried to entrap the Christ with a political problem that was an adroit and_dangerous dilemma. They tried throw Him off His guard by a ccritical profession of faith and con- fidence In His sincerity and fearless- ness. They asked concerning the law- fulness of tribute to Caesar. An in- dorsement of tribute giving would allenate the tax-burdened Jew. A protest against it would bring Jesus into conflict with the strong arm of the Roman government as a traitor. They would have willingly appeared as witneswes against the Master if He were charged with sedition and dis- loyalty. Christ was not deceived. He met thelr attempt by compelling them to become witnes to their own hy- pocrisy. He asked them to produce a Roman _denarfus, that was worth about 17 cents or a day's wages. He answered them in a statement that anke has well called “the most tionary utterance” of the Lord They were silenced and baffled by tho profound and far-reaching principles stated in our golden text, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Cae- sars. and unto God the things that are God's” His answer filled the ex- pert lawyers with amazement. He stated an evidently just politicai prin- ciple, that was destined to "lift em- pires off their hinges and to turn the current of the ages out of its chan- nel,” but its significance was berond them. In emphasizing the duty of all to pay both their religious and politi- cal obligations, the one to God and the other to the state, Jesus did not teach that there existed no relation He taught that “the state, as a state, has abso- lutely no religious function: the church, as a church, has absolutely no political function; that proper lovalty to church and proper loyalty to state never conflict” Christ did not come to set up a kingdom that would over- throw or deminate any political gov- ernment. But the principle He enun- clated has become a part of national constitutions. In the providence of God it remained for our country to first demonstrate the practicability of the Masters teachings concerning religious liberty. The American ldeal of government is in accordance with Christ's answer that organized reli- glon and organized politics are to he Kept forever separate. We must re- member that the success and stability of any nation depends upon the work- ing out in its political life of the prin- ciples of Jesus in the life of its citi- zens. The Pharisees and Herodians hay- ing been silenced, the Sadducees next tried to insnare the Master with a theological test question that has been puzzling to others besides this Jewish sect which. as a class, denied the resurrectlon. They presented for solution a striking case under the levirate marriage law to prove the confusion that would result in the world to come as a resuit of plural marriages. But Jesus pointed out calmly and courteously the two er- rors in their reasoning: first, a lack of knowledge of the Scriptures them- selves, and second, a misconception of the power of God. The Master's teachings concerning the form of the body of the risen dead in His answer to the Sadducees 1s the only distinct teaching that He has glven upon this subject. The fact that our resurrection bodies will be s, not éarthly or physical, is in accord with Paul's ex- position upon the resurrection given His teachings were | that they | the | events by Secretary John D.

The truly spiritual man will not despise forms as a means of giving expression to religlous impulses, but the formal ritualist is apt to fail to look for the spiritual, which is, after all, the esseniial thing in the trus worship | of God. The frankness of tne scribe appealed to the Christ and Ha com- mended him as one who had come very near the kingdom of God. This recognition ought to have en- courwged him to step over the line and became a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Conviction is not conversion.

The sileneing of the scribe closes the efforts to entanglo the Master, for we read that “no man durst asi Him any questions.” After that series of victories Christ assumed the offensive, Ile was not satisfied with merely vanquishing his adversaries, for He made another ef- fort to win them, pointing out their mistaken _ views concerning the Messiah, He tried to cradicate thelr | false ‘views of the kingdom that e came to establish. 1le squght to have them acknowledge Him as the spirtual Messiah. He wanted them to see that He was not a national but a univer- sal ruler. The one thing which the i necds to stabilize soclety, re- order and promote peace among ous, creeds and races is the ptance and practiclug of the prin- that the Master taught While busy with His conflicts with His cnemics, Jesus noted the manner with which ' people deposited their &ifts and offerings. He saw the timid woman, whose heart was filled with gratitude for God's grace and mercy, come and give her all to the services of Jehoval. That gift of the widow's mite has encouraged many to give to the Master's kingdom, but no one can clai to be giving the widow’'s mite unless the one glves his all. Jesus seeks today to win the world to His idards. When ail shall be filled | with love such as the poor widow had for God and His worship, the forces of the Master will sweep the natio {of the earth by their evangel and bring In the kingdom that will he our lord's when He returns to rule the nations of the world. May He come quickly! —_———— LENT SERVICE AT KEITH’S ARE ENDED FOR WEEK Will Be Resumed ;!ondny and Continue With Interesting Program.

Jesun introquced a new idea Into the world when He made service to others of more prom:- nence than service from others. The greatest person in this audlence is t the one with the most money, or the most fame, or the most servants, but the one Who most truly serves others {n proportion to his or her ability. We have only two relation- ips in this world—to God and to our fellow-men—and to serve the one is to serve the other. Service to God is not only in prayer and worehip and church attendance, but in helping His children™ There will be no service at Keiti's today or tomorrow. but an interest- | ing program has been arranged for next weel.

A purim festival will be given by the Hebrew School of the Ohev-Sho- lom Synagogue, at oth and I streets, tomorrow night at 17 _oclock. The program will consist of recita- tions, music and a short Purim sketch. The feast of Purlm is celebrated in commemoration of the deliverance of Itracl from the evil designs of cruel Human, as related in the Book of Esther. Purlin {s o constant remind- er of the various epochs in the ca- roer of the Tebrew ruce, which is be- set with enemies seeking Its destruc- tion, Rabbi J. T. Loeb explaine ‘ontinuing, he savs of the festival: ‘Haman's denunciation against the ‘people dispersed and scatiered in all the provinces' of the old Persian em- pire in re-echoed with shocking force through the passing ages in all the lands and states of its dispersion. The | same people are still here, as of old, to celebrate the salvation of God and the | triumph over all carthly things. “Purim is therefore & joy day. i spiring confidence in & divine po frustrating e designs of the wicked and preserving the destiny of Israel The jovial nature of the Durim feast, as practiced in orthodox synagogues ! by the ‘Haman-cloppers' during the ding of the Megillah (Fook of ther) the evening and morning of Purim, is a token of deflance against the wicked Haman of all times and conditions. It is an expression o hope that the Amalakite in all sen erations shall be wiped off before the Lord, and the cause of the righteous shall trlumph at the end” —_— GIRL RESERVES’ SERVICE. | Teen-Age Society to Meet at F}’ 1 Street Building.

Nearly 30 per cent of “young men” stranded, coming from every state to Wash- ington, have been “Bonus-Hunting Men. They will work and we have proven this—nearly 60 gladly accepted work with B. and O. railroad.
