To be a patriot implies an admiration
for a country's heroes, its statesmen
and Christian leaders. In includes an
ardent zeal for the maintenance Of
those sacred principles which secure
to the citizen freedom of conscience
and an earnest determination to con-
secrate his talents and life, II neces-
sary, in defense of f1reside and father
land.
There Is a love OF country in the
human heart that never perishes. It
has been planted there by God and it
belongs to every man.
at is necessary In some quarters
that we call attention TO the fact that
ought to be well understood, that to be
a Christian is not to cease to be a cit
izen. The Apostle Paul, building upon
the teaching OF Christ, urged: Let
every soul be subject to the higher
powers. for there is no power but from
God. Therefore, he who resisteth the
power, resisteth the ordinance of God,
and they who resist, purchase for them
selves damnation. Render, therefore,
to all their dues, tribute to whom trib-
ute is due, custom to whom custom,
fear TO whom fear, honor to whom
honor Peter adds the same sort of
truth: BE we subject to every human
creature for Gods sake, whether to the
king as excelling. or to governors as
sent by him for the punishment of evil
doors and for the praise of them that
do we'll Such words as these have
done more to give stability to govern
ment and peace and order to society
than all the standing armies and all
other manuscripts written upon the
principles of government.
What is the creed Of the Christian
patriot? It can be summed up in the
words Of another:
"T believe that human governments
are ordained Of God, are bound in all
their acts by His law, and essential to
human welfare and are therefore to be
loyalty upheld
Il believe that Christ's law, Render
to Caesar the things that are Caesars,
binds me to the intelligent and faithful
performance Of my full duty as a citi
zen.

following:

PASSOVER FEAST
BEGINS TONIGHT

The Jewish people OF the tri-cities
will today begin the celebration of the
feast of the Passover with services to-
night at Temple Emanuel in Daven-
port. Rabbi G. H. Loewenstein will de-
liver a sermon on The Passover" and
there will be special music at this
time. This is the Oldest feast of the
Jewish calendar and carries back s.
800 years. AS q feast of freedom it
commentaries the emancipation of Is
real from Egyptian bondage and the
entrance into the dignity and destiny
of national life. 1t thus marks the
birth of the Hebrew people and the
first commonwealth. The main char
acteristic of its celebration has always
been domestic; in the homes the TAM
lilies and the invited friends gather on
the first and second evenings to re-
count in song and story and amid ap-
propriate symbolism the deliverance of
Israel. The main symbols of this
seder service are the roasted lamb
bone reminding them of the lamb each
Israelite slaughtered as sacrifice of
the Covenant; second the Mazzah or
unleavened bread to be eaten during
the whole week, recalling not only the
hasty preparation with which they
hurried out of Egypt but also their alb
solute reliance upon God and readiness
to trust in His leadership of them;
and the bitter herbs suggesting wildly
the bitter life of their forefathers in
Egypt which, even today, have not lost
their poignant application. Two other
symbols of the table decorations ought
to be noted; namely the four cups of
wine allowed to each one are strong
reminders of the fourfold phrase in
which God couched the first Declare
ton of independence" and the cup of
wine meant for the prophet Elijah
who. always present in spirit, brought
ever anew the message of undying
hope of the Messianic reign of univer
sal justice. freedom and peace.
