In connection with the morning ser vice at the Grand Avenue Conerega- tional church, Rev, Dr, Sheath, the pastor, spoke upon the subject, Fri bute to Caesar" He said that in Jesus utterance, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods" we find a principle for our guidance in connection with moderen movement. There are duties which the Christian owes to the government under which he lives. He cannot absolve himself from these by fimsy excuses To say T am a citizen of Heaven and have nothing to do with human gov ernments" Is not q valid excuse from paying taxes or using the right of suf- frage. In like manner to say the name of God is not in the constitution and therefore l will not vote," Is not a valid excuse. There are also du- ties which we owe to God and these also must be met Loyalty to gov ernment does not necessarily mean that the supreme duties to God have been met. The true Christian Will aim to be true citizen. He will obey the righteous laws, will support and defend his country, will use his vot- ing privilege and will seek the de- velopment of true Christian citi- zenship. True loyalty to Christ will enable a Christian to determine his duty toward God and his country. His principles are true and eternal and these will make man a true Chris tian and a true citizen. plead pri- marily for loyalty to Christ.
