Violet Maude Payne, young dance
teacher who drowned during a H.
quor party on the yacht early last
July 20.
AS Prosecutor Ewing D. Colvin to-
day prepared to file the manslaugh-
ter charges against the two men, he
explained that the common law of
England governing maritime GRIM

owner and skipper of the boat,

their guest.
Evidence at coroner's inquest
last month showed, Colvin pointed
out, that the two men stood by and
made no effort to save the drowning
woman who had slipped and fell
into Lake Union while leaving the
yacht.
Witnesses at the inquest testified
the drowning occurred in not more
than 10 feet of water and that life
boats and life belts were close at
hand had the men desired to assist
the struggling woman.
In its report, the jury branded
Nelson and Bell as towards" and
further found that they conspired
to conceal the fact Of the womans
death.

Tomorrow's Sunday School Lesson
Peter T caches
Good Citizenship
By REV. EDWARD TABER

The early Christians were re-
peatedly accused Of opposing the
power and authority of the state.
No accusation could have been
further from the truth. Jesus,
the founder of Christianity, did
not war against Caesar.
Christ was a king, but His
kingdom was not Of this world.
If he did not speak at great
length Of the need of obedience
to governmental authorities, it
was because He was primarily
concerned with the things of the
spirit. His was a far greater
mission than that of any earthly
monarch. He was crucified be-
cause "He made Himself a
king" The punishment was a
preposterous travesty upon JUS
tice. He not only did not set
Himself up as a rival to Caesar,
but He refused more than one
opportunity to head an army of
rebellion.
He did quarrel with those in
authority, but it was with the
Jewish priests that were making
Of religion a lifeless thing. His
enemies, seeking to trap Him,
asked him whether or not it was
lawful to give tribute to Caesar.
His classic response, Render
unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars, and unto God the
things that are Gods" is a per-
feet example of His attitude
toward the state. He was in no
sense an anarchist.
Next to the Master Himself.
Paul and Peter were the greatest
Of the early leaders of Christian
ity. Both Of them taught good
citizenship and counseled allie
glance to secular authority. Paul
has been often quoted in his
teachings regarding the need of
being subject to the higher
powers.
Surely Peter and Paul were
not of the stuff of which
anarchists were made. They
had much cause to feel bitter
toward the governments that
prosecuted them so relentlessly.
Jewish and Roman authorities
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-06-18

combined to punish them for
preaching their simple convic-
tions.
Peter, in his first epistle, gives
considerable space to the need
of good citizenship. He exhorts
his followers to submit them
selves to every ordinance of
man." He writes a paragraph of
brief, terse sentences that it is
difficulty to refrain from QUOT
ing. It follows:
Honor all men. Love the
brotherhood. Fear God. Honor
the King"
1t would be difficult to find a
better charter of life than that
contained in these simple words.
We are told to honor all men; a
man who loses his faith in man.
kind is we'll on his way to losing
his faith in God. The advice to
honor the king is, of course, due
to the age in which Peter lived.
He did not speak of the king as
a man, but of the king as SYM
bolic Of government.
Of course, there is a point in
this matter of royalty to govern
ment where obedience ceases to
be q virtue. Men have the right
to resist tyranny. But to fair
and decent government, the
citizen owes obedience and re-
spect.
Morality is not synonymous
with religion, but every true re-
ligion must be based on an
ethical foundation. Shallow
teachers have spoken of the
brevity of life as an excuse for
dissipation. Peter speaks of the
brevity of life as an urge for
right conduct. In poetic lam
guage he beseeches his followers
"as strangers and pilgrims, to
abstain from fleshly lusts, which
work against the soul"
True Christianity must teach
good citizenship. If there is one
supreme peril to America, it is
the alarming increase in crime.
The church must follow the ex-
ample of the early apostles, and
teach good citizenship, as well
as morality and faith.
