RELIGION AND PATRTOTTsDr


The Christian Endeavor topic for July
Z IS round in Romans Kill, II. Religion
includes the performance of every duty
or life. The relation to the state to the
government, is q very important relation
OF life. The Christian has no more right
10 ignore or to neglect his duty to the
state than he has to treat IN a similar
way his duty to the church or to the
nome. Christ taught both by precept
and example that civil duties should be
performed. He paid taxes to the Roman
government and declared that men
should render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars" as well as unto God
the things that are Gods"
Paul IN writing to the Romans ex-
horts that every soul be subject to tho
powers that be-" Reference here il to
the civil powers. In a time of TYRANNY
ana oppression the apostle still urges
the Importance Of obedience and re-
spect to the civil government. This
should be the attitude Of Christians to-
ward governments everywhere. This

BY TRAVELLERS IN EUROPE.
1t has been calculated that the Ameri-
can travellers every year in Europe spend
over S., Oo0,eG0 in tips alone. Most of them
do 1t grudgingly, because of all the petty
blackmail of our advanced civilization
these gratuities are the meanest and
most provoking. AT the same time, If one
Is travelling and wishes to get along com.
fortably he must deal out the tidbits on
every hand. If you should want to know
the depth Of human misery, simply de-
cline to give any fee at all while taking
a trip across the Atlantic ocean. Then
you may envy Jonah in his solitude with
in the whales interior. On the other side,
of course, If you do not pay the tips
you will simply be asked for them just
railroad ticket. 1t is pretty hard, but
there is no escape from it. and each year
the people who get tips are eXacttng IN
their demands. It is getting con-@)n in
America, but does not equal European
demands as yet.
