 in the contemplation of the Divine Teach CT. the spiritual and the civil. both com the Lord God of Heaven and earth, yet each distinct and operating within it's own sphere. The religious kingdom, he said. has no civil functions and the civil no religious functions, whatever. Both are comprehended in Christian teaching and have claims upon the life. Our obli- gations to Caesar, that tss to civil govern ment. are God-imposed and we cannot shirk them with impunity. In the elab- oration Dr. Stakely said that these obli- !gations. as indicated in Scripture. are first, |sympathy. second prayer. third. cooper htion, and fourth self-obedience. We are to develop in ourselves not religious pa-
 triotism so much as patriotic religion. Our relation to law and order in the com munity, should be regarded as included in our religious life. We should sympa-
 thize with Caesar, who is a minister of
 God, we should pray for him, we should
 cooperate with him, we should seek to
 realize what he stands for in our lives.
 In monarchy, said Dr. Stakely, quot
 ing well known legal authority. the rul- ing principle is fear, in an aristocracy. honor, in a republic. virtue. Our, kind of
 government cannot exist without the vir- tue of its citizens.
 Under the head of cooperation, pr. Stakely referred to the violation and eva
 sion, of law in the specific matters of sell- ing intoxicating liquors to minors, of open
 barrooms on, Sundays. of gambling, and of houses of fll-fame. Good citizens, he said, should cooperate with the author ities in 1dethroning lawlessness and estab- fishing order and decency.

peopie.s they must bear their righteous shere Of the responsibility for it.
 There are two things that are Cae- sar,sr mon which the emphasis ought fo be laid. The first is the necessity lad m inc people to be intelligent abolt what constitutes good government P3i- flies in the large and true sense. is a notle study. The science of government nav properly command the attention of fine noblest intellect. Too much have peo- pie been willing to be ignorant as to what 1t means to be well governed. To be intelligent in this respect is duty they owe.
 , ..The second thing that belongs to Cae- sar, Is the necessity or the citizen hold ing to d strict accounting those that are placed by popular suffrage fin positions of rule. The citizen is bound to see to it that he Is being well governed. The officers of the law are responsible to the citizens that choose them, and the citizens must require them to discharge that responsibility. It is not my busi- ness, as a minister of the Gospel. to act as a detective to discover official ras- cality, nor to hunt down those that are breakers of the law. It is my duty just now to remind you who are citizens, of the obligation that rests on you in this direction.
 "The importance of these two principles is impressed on the electors of our city in connection with the question of civic righteousness by the fact that our eolh- try is rapidly becoming country os cities. The growth of urban population has been phenomenal. A hundred years ago the United States had only six cites of 5000 inhabitants or more: in 1880, 266 and in 1890 AS. A hundred years ago } per cent. of our population was urban; now about 30 per cent, This fact is of importance. It means that the city is becoming the dominant factor in our na- tional life. It means that in the cour SC of short time if the same rate of pro- greas keeps up. the city will govern our land If the city Is corrupt, the land win be corrupt.
 ''The fact is of importance to us be- cause of the rapid growth of our city. If evil is intrenched now. Its overthrow will become increasingly difficult It is a matter of public rumor that the laws of our city are not being enforced; that officials are unfaithful. It is your bush ness to know whether these things sle true, and if trues to see that they are corrected You have the power. The best people of city can govern it if they will. The experiment. has been tried, and has been successful. 1t is for you to say whether it will be tried here.

 After stating the decision reached by the Ministers Union that it's members today should preach on the general sup- feet of Civic Righteousness, pr. Pattef- son announced as his text a part of the Fist verse of the 22nd chapter of Mat thew. Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesars" He said, m part:
 Tt is not difficult to understand our Lords meaning. There was at the time practically but one government, that of Rome. The title of its Emperor was Caesar. The word then stood for the embodiment of organised government Our Lord taught then that there were imperative obligations resting upon men towards government. These are equally imperative. though differing in the sphere Of their action with those obligations resting upon man towards God. The Christian is not exempt from allegiance toward the State because he is a ser- want of God. Rather Is bis obligation strengthened. He must do for consci- ence's sake the things he may not 60 for fear.
 ''The responsibility of Government va ries according to conditions. Where Che people have no choice, the responsibility rests entirely on the ruler. But, whe e institutions are free, and Government is by representatives, the people must bear share in the responsibility. The exec utive Is not set free because he Is mere- ly one chosen. He Snstains a relation to the law, the executive of which he IS, by virtue of his oface, and he must do his duty. But, because in the last an- alysis. the government is really "of the

Sermon by Rev. Stewart Mcoueen at

Sermon by Rev. Stewart Mcoueen at
 Church of Holy Comforter.
 At the Church of the Holy Comforter yesterday, the pastor delivered the fol- lowing sermon:
 '.Forgetting those things which are be- hind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Phil. iii:13
 The great Apostle to the Gentiles here sets forth a momentous and essential principle It is profound in it's meaning. It is far-reaching in it's application. It deals directly with human life sin all its affairs, whether secular or religious temporal or spiritual. Now, what does St. Paul mean? He means simply that we should not permit our minds. our memories, our affections. in a word permit ourselves to become so absorbed in the past that it makes us indifferent and therefore faithless to the duties of the present. This is just the very thing we are all more or less prone to do, viz: Not forget those things which are be- hind, but to lay undue stress upon them, and magnify out of all proportion their importance. Thus we allow the past to hang like a dark cloud upon the present, and so paralyze our energies in dealing with it as we ought. -t
