ing, without which it would loose it's per- tinence in this context as well as its har- mony with teaching on the same sub ject elsewhere, is that civil and ecclesias- tical duties are co-ordinately sacred and binding. It is a commandment to be at one and the some time good citizens, and good members of the church bearing your assigned burden in the support of each for the Lords sake. He tells Pilate, when before his tribunal, he is threatened with the arbitrary exercise of the courts pow CT either to release or cruelty, that thou couldst have no power except 1t were given thee from above" Paul tells us that "the powers that be are ordained of God, and there is no power but of God
 and so not only because of fear of punish ment but for conscience sake also we pay tribute. And the civil officers are ministers of God unto us for good attend ing continually upon this very thing" (Rom. 13:1) Peter also catches up the same note and tells us to be subject to the Emperor and his governors flor the Lords sake''-a new motive for good citizenship in the empire. The Old Testa- ment prophets, Isaiah, Amos, Hosea-in- deed every one rings from end to end with a gospel of good citizenship from several motives. So 1 am persuaded that no man has rendered to God the things that are Gods until he has also rendered unto Caesar the things that are Caesars. and the latter ought to be done in the impulse and enlightenment of the former. The gospel of good citizenship is closely taught in the Bible by prophets-our Lord and His apostles A Christian man ought to be a Christian and act the Christian in the jury box, at the ballot box, at the receipt of customs, before the court, In the halls of Legislation, or in the seat of executive OF judicial mower.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN STEEL AND IRON Treasury Statistics for the
 Past Year LARGER HOME PRODUCTION Iron and Steel lmportatlons For 1902 Are Double Those of 1901.
 Exports Decrease Five
 Per Cent.

The unparalleled activity in those indus tries of the United States in which iron and steel manufactures are required is illustrated by the figures of imports and exports announced last week by the treasury bureau of statistics slmultane- ously with the figures of pig iron produc- ton announced by the American Iron and Steel association.
 The figures of the Iron and Steel asso- ciation show an increase of 100000 tons in production of pig iron in the United States in 1902 over 1901, gain of more than 12 per cent; yet despite this enor- nous growth in home production. the inn portations of iron and steel manufactures in 1902 are actually double those of 1901, more than those of 1901 and 1900 com bined, and are two and a half times as much as those of 1899.
 Exports Fallen Off.
 At the same time the exports of Iron and steel manufactures have fallen s5.- 100000 below those of 1901 and s32, ,000, 900 below those of 1900.
 Comparing conditions in 1902 with those of 19O1 1t may be said in a single sen- tence that home production has increased 12 per cent imports have increased 100 per cent and exports have decreased , per cent comparing 1902 with 1900 home production has increased 30 per cent, im- ports have increased 100 per cent and ex- ports have decreased 25 per cent.
 Large Importations In December.
 This growth in importations of iron and steel and the falling off in exportations thereof has been continuous during the year, but especially marked In the closing month of the year The December im- portations of iron and steel were s4, 7O1, ,S65 against $2,127 133 in December 1901, and s1 422, 030 In December, 1900. Exports of iron and steel manufactures in December, 1902 were $7,756,012, against $s427,0l5 in December 1901, and $1O, OPS, ,632 in December, 190C

Man Who Beats Taxes.

The more he renders to Caesar the things that are Caesars the more he will render to God the offerings of his house. The man who will beat his taxes, assess ing his property too low, or hiding it out, will also beat his church subscription with equal impunity and vice versa. If in your citizenship you act the sullen con script of the state you will in the church give grudgingly, and of necessity only for both patriotism and piety spring from the same source of loyal service to God Nothing so degrades our citizenship as this idea that the payment of taxes is not a moral claim against us. and 1t is the child of the secular, as opposed to -.ie sacred. view of civil affairs. To escape taxes is a crime which is of the nature of swindle, and vice which strikes at the very root of good citizenship. If the state has not the right to assess and collect the full amount of the tribute re- quired by law it has not the right to collect any. A 60 per cent assessment of taxes is a fraud on it's face. If the state has no right to collect the taxes on the other 70 per cent 1t has none to collect that on the GO per cent. So by an unlaw- full assessment and collection of tribute or exemption of citizens from lawfully binding civil duties the rightfulness of Caesars claim is repudiated by his own emmssaries Instead of devising schemes of double taxation it might be well for Caesar to observe that he has not effected one of full single taxation as yet and that his failure therein Is demoralizjng his own moral of citizenship and com promising his own standing as a fui rightful sovereiZn
