Romans, xiil. 1-14 Golden Text: Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love, there- fore, is the fulfilling of the law. Romans, xiil. 10, Our world temperance Sunday les- son does not take up the vital prob- lem of prohibition. In fact the Old and New Testaments are silent upon the question of the hour. Zenos has pointed out that there is “nothing in favor of coercive laws prohibiting the manufacture and use of intoxicating drinks in the Scriptures.” Paul does not say anything against such meas- ures, because the problem of curtailing the use of intoxicants by law was not one that was agitating the members of the early church. From xiv.21 it would appear that the question of Christians drinking wine was a subject that was causing differences of opinion and Judgement among the brethern in Rome. The “beloved of God, called to be saints,” met in three different places in Rome. Paul speaks of two dffierent factions among them, “the strong” and “the weak.” Evidently the minority “ate herbs and abstained from the use of wine.” This was not due to any of Paul’s old enemies’ efforts, for the posi- tion taken by these ascetic Christians was not due to any Jewish teachings, for the eating of flesh and drinking of wine was not prohibited by the Old Tes- tament. Evidently, the germs of the temperance movement had appeared among the Gentile Christians in Rome. They had certain principles of Chris- tianity to which they appealed for their position and others appealed to othér ideals as the basis of their position. Following his practice, Paul in his let- ter to the Romans took up the doctrinal teachings of Christianity and then made a practical application of the same to the political and social questions. In the epistle to the Romans, one-fourth has to do with social problems. Our lesson is taken from the practical part, which emphasized good citizenship by its teaching of patriotism, philanthropy and piety. Loyalty to Law. Loyalty to law and obedience to the civil government was insisted upon as a Christian’s patriotic duty by the apos- tle. It was a timely subject at the moment. A few years previous a riot among the Jews had led to their ex- pulsion from Rome. There appeared to be a danger that the Christians might be confused with the Jews, because of the close connection between Judaism and Christianity. Some of them may have taken up some of the views of Hebrew patriots. “Judas the Gaulonit2 founded a sect that held it to be un- lawful to opey earthly rulers. The Eblonites taught that the power which rules the world through civil magis- trates was devilish. Although Chris- tianity has emphasized and developed the spirit of individualism, -Paul by his teaching concerning the right of a col- lective unit, like the state, to curb and regulate the course of individualisin provided a safety valve for human rights and checked any tendency that may have existed in the ranks of the Roman Christians to resist the author- ity of the government. Our Lord had acknowledged the right of Ceasar to legislate and levy taxes in Palestine, when He was asked to state His opinion upon these ques- tions by His enemies, who had sought to trap the Master. Paul had followed the precepts and practice of the Christ in his position that government of the state was of divine origin and power and will also give a short sermon in the evening. l THE PROPHECY OF AGABUS Mission Official to ;’;sch. @n his way fe Jerusalem, Paul and As [Lgl bu 3 Furthel denger lay before him. To exemplify was ‘essential to that government. American ideals have separated church s warned Paul against proceed- r. He prophecied that Cathedral, Basel, Switzerland press Ann, wife of Rudolph of Haps- burg, whose body was removed, how- ever, many years ago. Still more inter- esting in its association is the memorial of Erasmus of Rotterdam, who for many years illustrated the city by his prodigious learning. Erasmus was considered to have been the greatest scholar of his age. He lived in Basel until the time of the Re- formation in 1529, when the Protestant movement carried the town. He then fled to Freiburg, in Breisgau, and re- turned to his former home only a few months before his death. Communicating with the choir of the cathedral is the ancient chapter-house, in which was held the seventeenth ecumenical council, by which the Hus- sites were reconciled to the Catholic Church. Sunday School Lesson and state, holding that both are co- ordinate, the state protecting the church and its members in their right to worship God according to their faith and the dictates of their conscience, and the church and its members to support the Government by its moral influence. The church has no right to dictate to its members in political matters, unless the rights of the church itself is involved, then it can only ap- peal to its members and people of other faiths to give them their rights. Such appeals always secures favorable action. ‘The citizen and the Christian who does right has no reason to fear any action on part of the civil authorities. Loyalty to the laws of the land and its Constitution is not only the duty of all patriots, but is required of every follower of Jesus Christ. Good government and the welfare of the Kingdom of God are not antagon- istic and one’s duty to the Lord Jesus does not conflict with what one owes the nation. The true Christian has no right to select the laws, that he wishes to observe, any more than a patriotic citizen has a right to pick out any part of the Constitution, which he wishes to observe. If laws and parts of the Constitution appear to any one to be iniquitous, immoral, or unjust that does not except him from being loyal to the Government. Loyalty to the Nation does not stop any person from the right of petition or protesting against any form of injustice. Loyalty to Love and Light. Paul sought to develop loyalty and unity within the ranks of the Roman Christians by showing them that there was a better way than external coercion by his teaching of the law of love. |l Like Jesus, Paul proclaimed that the quintessence of the law is contained in the commandment “to love one’s neighbor.” Love stimulates us to con- sider not our rights but the protection of our neighbor. Love compels us to promote and assist our neighbor when- ever and wherever we can.. Love lifts the question of temperance above any low legalistic requirement. It asks that we agree to sacrifice our personal desires for the welfare of the com- munity dnd the development of others. Men that are weak, and unable to re- sist temptations, are encouraged by the personal sacrificial denials made by friends and neighbors for their good, because of their love for them. Every lover of his fellowmen opposes the re- turn of the saloon and its iniquitous violation of law. No man in public life would risk his political future by championing it. The Americans love for his fellowman and his neighbor has brought an end to the existence of the saloon forever in our land. Paul called upon the Roman Chris- tians to set an example to their fel- lows by living up to the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They had taken a stand for the Master and they should live in accordance with His ideals. ‘When Paul called the Romans to fol- low the standards of the Mastdr, stim- ulated by the love for God and one's fellows, as the secret of their strength, he knew that this would promote real union in the ranks of the “Beloved of God” for it meant that they would put away all pernicous and discreditable practices. He especially pointed out that contentions and differences among them were to cease, for he placed them in the rank with drunkenness. Chris- tian conduct and character demanded that their public and private life should be clean, free from “revelling and drunkenness, chambering and wantonness, strife and jealousy.” The Christian must not seek to fulfill the cravings of the flesh or to make plans and provision for satisfying the laws of passion and human desire to indulge in drink and vice.

In this series he will explain in detail the content and pur- poses of the articles. ‘The members of Sigma Nu will as- semble at the evening service for their annual service to memorialize those of their fraternity who lost their lives in the World War.

May we “Follow with reverent steps the great example Of Him whose holy work was “doing vod” good.’ So_shall the wide earth seem our Father’s temple Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.” Although one cannot find a prohibi- tion law in the scriptures, its pages contain many warnings against the use of strong drink.
