THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT
AND THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

We have written and spoken in mod
Grafton as to our attitude in regard
to the United States entering the
present war. We have earnestly
sought not to give offense to any of
our brethren who entertain conflict
ing views. In spite of our care, how
ever, we have lost at least one sub
Scriber because of our expressed 10y
atty to the government. We desire,
therefore, to say few things con-
corning the functions of civil govern
ment and those of the Christian
church
The first thing to be said is that
both Institutions are of divine orr
gin. Civil government Stands first
in order. It's divine Magma Charta
is "Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be she'd" The
function of civil government is to
protect the innocent by executing
justice to the guilty. 1t is upon this
principle that all our civil and crimi-
nal laws have been enacted and are
enforced 1t is not the function of
civil government to show mercy. If
one citizen wilfully murders another
citizen, the law requires that he pay
the penalty with his own life. The
officer of the law is justified both by
divine and civil law in hanging the
wilful murderer by the neck until he
IS dead. This is only one instance
among many that might be cited.
Just as the severai states are in
tegral parts of the national govern
ment, just so the United States is an
integral part of international gov
9rnment. By divine right these sew
eral civil governments may enact in
tecnational laws for the protection
of the innocent and for the punish
ment of the guilty. International
government has divine right to mete
out Justice to any civil government
that commits murder upon her sister
governments. By international law
all the nations have a right to the
high seas for the transportation of
their citizens and their products.
Germany, party to the making of
such law, denied that right to the
United States by sinking her ships
without warning, and thus destroying
her products and taking the lives of
her innocent citizens, including wo-
men and children. Civic righteous
ness in given State would not per-
NIT a wilful murderer to run at large

purpose Of disposing of the food
crops which you said it was their du-
ty to grow in great abundance, are
you meeting them in the right spirit
and manner? Are you buying the
goods, they come to offer you, at
prices mutually reasonable or are
you, in 50 many words, saying to
them: 1T is naught, it is naught. !"
Are you cooperating with them as
you said you would do and as it is
your manly duty to do? Or are you
turning them away empty-either
asserting that you are overstocked
or that you cannot pay the price they
ask?
Not long ago saw farmer with
two small baskets full of tender snap
beans gathered that morning. He
told me, in reply to questions l ask
ed him, that he could not find buy
er at any price. Later, l saw young
country woman in a store where
vege tables were handled along with
groceries. She was offering for sale
beans and June apples. She was
turned away. l faar that she had
to take the beans and apples home.

initiated. To overthrow either
would be violation of the divine
edict The Baptist position of COM
plete separation of the church and
State is correct Such separation
is the only means by which the church
and State can perform their sepa-
ate functions. To argue that a
Christian as citizen cannot right
eously engage in the administration
of justice is to argue that any given
State that is wholly Christian cannot
maintain civil government More
over, it is to argue that as soon as
one becomes a Christian his citizen
ship must end.-Christian Index.

The arrival of vacation time this
year finds meagre and unthinking
minority advising the American peo
pie to forego their rest and renew
al that the nation may throw its
whole available strength into the
War for Liberty. This is poor adj
vice 1t is not the advice of these
who know best how tremendous is the
task the country faces and how best
it may be prosecuted with victorious
energy. Our strength must be at
par, or at par plus. An unprece-
denied task calls or workers refresh

gor and mental alertness, for the

In the vacation regions the slogan
should be: Business as usual" The
Government itself, speaking through
Secretary Lane, has directed atten-
ton anew to it's national parks and
the opportunities they afford for re-
creation and health-building. The
Government would stimulate rather
than obstruct the peoples enjoyment
of these advantages. The word of
the leaders of our nation is that the
weary should seek their accustomed
relief from toll and that the worn
should recuperate.
This nation has acquired a world
wide reputation for creative energy
because its people have zealously
guarded and steadily increased their
individual power. They are an out
door people with the exploring in
stinct and Of adventurous habit They
like the sunlight and the open places,
and they turn each summer to the
mountains, the plains and the great
forests There they shed their wear

new will TO do, gaining frmness
of muscle and clarity of thought and
recovering interest in their employ
ment.
An exhausted or sluggish worker
Is the most inefficient type of work
er. He owes it as much to his coun-
try as to his employer and himsef
to rebuild his depleted strength and
freshen his interest in his labor. The
beginning of summer finds workers
everywhere at comparatively low eff
flclency, but the universal custom of
taking short or prolonged rest when
the great outdoors offers its myriad
attractions has served each wear as
tonic to restore efficiency in the
highest degree. Never in their his
tory have the American people nut
greater energy into a years work
than since last vacation time. The
next year will demand even greater
effort. Never has there been great
er need of rebuilding. The great ar

fighting army, must be as fit and as
fresh as the soldier.
Let the people come again into

ness to face increased responsible
ties and give them strength to a
chieve a new record for work.
Vacation as always! The Govern
ment invites you to visit its great
Fairgrounds. Get into the noun

and inspiration await you. Do not
destroy your capacity for work by
doing nothinR but work. To rest
