the latter were largely composed of
the Hebrews or their friends they
were counted all alike. The Jew was
the most troublesome of her subjects
and at the very time We're plotting
actively for the revolution that took
Titus to Judea and lifted him to the
kingship. Eagerly expecting Mes
siah, counting upon their sure reign
over all the earth, they had no inter-
est in fostering the stability of the
Empire. Everywhere they were a
suspected group. This relationship
was serious handicap to the peace
full Christian groups seeking a
heavenly Kingdom and acknowledge
ing a spiritual King. Jesus had had
no quarrel with Rome and had coun-
selled peace instead of turbulence. So
the attitude Of Paul is readily under
stood as he plead for the following of
the laws of the Empire. 1t was the
only sane as we'll as the only right
thing to do. There did come the clash
later between the bloody Nero and
the citizens of Catacombs and prov
ince but the resistance was passive
instead of active and was built upon
conscience and not upon politics but
at the time of this letter the great
need was the establishment of a repu-
tation for good citizenship.
And the sure road to liberty is
along the highway fenced by law.
Law marks the way of safety for all
concerned and it is the keeper of the
rule of the road who has no anX-
iety upon his journey nor any fear of
the traffic policeman. Better the law
and better the obedience to it and one
is going toward the only civilization
that can endure. For liberty is never
a matter of law-less-ness but Of law
full-ness and their careful following.
For law represents the slowly arrived
at Judgment of the majority as to the
best procedure for the interests of all.
To protect is legitimate, to agitate is
the privilege of any man or group
but to defy the law is to become a
criminal, a law-breaker, anti-social
member of a social body, a disease
breeding bacillus. So Paul bases the
rule Of human government in the or
derly character of Gods administra-
ton and urges its support by all
Christians in their attitude Of friend
lnesS toward it.
THE LOVE LIFE
The sense of debt is to be en-
couraged for we owe much more than
can be paid to the state that has pro-
tected us and given US our chance in
life. Others have contributed to our
enrichment in so many ways that
there is no enumeration possible. Our
active citizenship is based upon our
obligation and to be discharged in
money if that is possible, thriftily
and carefully, but there is much for
which money can never be the equi-
velent. And if we are Christian at
all we are love folks and because we
are such give expression to our love
in the fair play we accord the other
members of the body of which we are
also part. To harm another citizen
is to break the law of the Christian
state. To throne self-interest is to
thwart the right of others and to
break the law of love actively and the

THE NEED.
Why should we turn away from the

anything ike this? 1t is decided
break which may not be relished, but
it may also be needed in. our thinking
as much as the other thrilling chap
ter. For if that vision is not trans
lated into life i is as valueless as
a rogue's tear at a picture show.
What is more fitting upon Washing
tons birthday than to consider some
of the applications of his Lords life
to the problems of the land that boast
him its Father? And there is great
need of just such emphasis as is indi-
Gated here by Paul ana was urged
again and again by our great first
President.
For we are lawless people. When
We murder person every four hours
night and day, summer and winter.
Sunday and weekday, year in and
year out; when the crime age is
steadily decreasing so that our young
peoples division furnishes the largest
number of recruits; when the Nation

$4,000, 100000 annually thru dishon-
est activities; when we are spending
for police and various protective
agencies more than S500,O0O,000 each
year; when we are recognized as the
most crime ridden country among the
nations keeping records, it is quite
time that we turn our attention to the
Christian application of the life of
our Lord.
We are still in our callow youth
compared with other nations and
have the cock-sureness of the age and
the resentful attitude toward author

the frontier and its excessive indi-
vidualism that puts "My rights"

transferred authority from my own
gun to that of the community, state
or nation. And the 18th Amendment
has not increased crime itself but it
has uncovered a whole section of our
population that was criminal before
but lacked incentive to indulge in its
practice. That is the tragic thing of
today-the revealing that we had
made less progress than we boasted
out of our rawness into the creation
of a social conscience that puts the
good of the many above the self in

Running and Bootlegging make fine
headlines but mighty poor indications
of Christianity's injection into the

The more I see of modern young women, John, the more I am con- strained to say that l am glad my life is nearly over. do not think that I can bear to live much longer in a world populated by these girls and their progeny. Of course, I know that you are very much in love with Leslie. The reason l know this is because since you have been married to her you have paid no more attention to me than you did before. A mother does not expect her son to be as thoughtful of her unless there Is some woman about who can tell him what e mothers heart needs and desires.
 I have been greatly disappointed in Leslie. can not understand why che makes friends of such women as Mrs. Walter Burke and even moving picture actresses while she laaTes her own husbands mother ssmpletely out of her life.
