-Weekly Sunday School Lesson-- CHRISTIAN RENEWAL
Text: Titus S:l.ll

Mussolini; but can one say that the will of\Mussolini is the will of God Men are being put to death in Rus sia because they are unwilling to submit to the dictates of Stalin.
 stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini are rulers" They represent authority and they demand obediE1ce. Does what Paul is asserting here demand that Christians must, as Q matter of right. give obedience to such rule CTS, or is there higher law of right affecting @ mans relation to rulers and the state
 Fortunately, the New Testament itself answers these questions, and reminds us that Pauls injunctions to obey rulers Is to be taken sub. ject to considerat ce conscience and reason. There were times when these early Christians said, we ought to obey God rather than men," when they chose to defy the law or the decree of the state, ac- cepting Imprisonment or persecu- ton rather than going against their consciences.
 There ought to be no mistake about this. Everyone who teaches this lesson in Q Christian church ought to avoid very clearly the at- titude that has too often been tak- en of approving of rule and author. ity. regardless of Its justice and its right.
 Nor are these matters settled simply by reference to dictatorships in Europe. There are times when even the government of @ democra- cy may demand of the individual what he cannot coi1scientiousJy do. The individual ought not hastily to set his judgment against the judg. ment of society.
 Cardinal Newman took the view that private judgment, where it is not Q duty is Q sin" That was an extreme view, but there is some truth in 1t. The individual must not Q duty, is . sia." That was an he stands upon his independency and upon his rights of conscience, he ought to be very sure that he Is standing on solid ground, that he is, in fact, reasonable and conscien- tious, and not just Q crank or can. tankerous person.
 The balance of this lesson of- fers no difficulty, or need of Qual- ification.
 To speak evil of no man should not mean that we are not to de- rlounce. the evil courses of men where they are evil, and where Nkood Is to come through the denuncia. ton. But even toward sin and sin- liers we ought to show the attitude of graciousness and love. We can- not go too far in avoiding conten- ti0usness and in cultivating gentle- ness. t
 When Christ comes into a mans life, old things pass away, and all things become new. His outlook is one of love toward his fellow man, and his purpose is to be right eous in all his words. acts, and re- lationships.
 Equally wise is the advice to shun foolish questionings and contentious A great Scottish church leader once said that the great need of our age is good controversy. Controversy his its place. It is e means of es- tablishing peter mutual under standings and larger conceptions Of truth where men pursue it In the right spirit: but controversy defeats it's purpose where it ia blind and bigoted and contvntioug. Ss
 The peaceful quest of truth rep resents far more truly the part og the Christian. aa4 lllils. Ifsli5 lf 5ss

No lesson could strike more vital- ly into the immediate and most acute problems facing large num- bers of Christians in the world to- day than this lesson based upon the letter of Paul to Titus. Paul tells Titus to put his people in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to au- thorities, to be obedient, and to be ready unto every good work"
 Suppose there is Q conflict be- tween this subjection and obedience and the readiness unto every good work. In Germany today leaders of the church are in conflict with the government because they be- lieve that Hitler is demanding what the state has no right to ask. In Italy there Is no liberty of the in- dividual against the dictates of

u. S. Population in 1865
Placed at 142 Million

Berkeley, Cal. - Americas pop
ulation will reach a maximum of
JAP million in 1865 and then drop
approximately million in the next
Is years to 1880, according to Prof.
E. F. Penrose, economist and pop
ulation expert of the University of
California.
Penrose finds that while the Amer
lean population and birth rate is
still increasing, nevertheless it's
fertility is on the decline.
The two things that are keeping
up the American increase in popula-
ton, Penrose says, are it's present
high birth rate and the large i'm
migration in the past.
Fertility, as represented by the
actual number of births, Penrose
finds, is falling in the United States
as the result of several causes.
These are restricted immigration,
birth control, late marriages, and
economic insecurity, which tend
to restrict large families.

Where Your School Money
Comes From.

Where Tour ScnOOl money
Comes From.
It NAV be worth while to cut this
out and save for future references:
Local school districts: Local one
mill tax also special school tax lev
led upon local assessed valuation by
school boards Tin independent dis
tricts) and by voters at annual school
meeting of common school districts
One dollar in every four used for Op-
Grating schools in Pine county comes
from direct taxation.
State aids: About three dollars of
every four for operating Pine county
schools come from various state aids
and state funds as follows:
The endowment fund consists of in
come from the permanent school fund.
The permanent school fund has more
than doubled since 1920 and is now
more than $67,OOO,0OO. The interest
on the permanent school fund is called
the endowment fund and now reaches
nearly $2,SOO,OO0 annually. This per-
manent school fund is built up from
the sale of state lands set aside for
school purposes, sale of timber, roy
atty and occupational taxes on iron
ore, and one-half the interest derived
from the swamp land fund.
The swamp land fund now amounts
to little more than $12,000,0OO. One
half of the interest is used to aid
state institutions. The other half is
added to the permanent school fund.
Current school fund: Derived from
the one mill state tax. In 1896 it
amounted to $1,3OO,OOO; 100000 of
this was transferred to special state
aid fund and balance was distributed
as appOrtionment with the income
from the permanent school fund,
known as endowment fund. Total
amounted to about 81 per child
based on average daily attendance.
Special state aid fund consists of
sums appropriated by the state legis-
| lature for special aid to schools and
| special departments in schools. Since
this is raised by a state tax levy, the
richer counties pay most of it. Hence
IL Is d SIcdl uclp W rural COuullSS
like Pine county. After all, education
of youth is state problem and local
| communities should not have to bear
the burden alone. The special state
aid fund now in the process of dis
tribution (for school year 1935-36)
amounts to over 100000. 1t covers
| classification aid, transportation aid
high school tuition, supplemental aid,
etc.
The income tax fund. This law was
passed in 1888 and also serves as a
replacement tax, replacing local taxes
for school support. This fund is col
lected from higher incomes and dis
tributed to school districts twice a
year on the basis of actual children
of school age e to Is, inclusive) on
census list. For 1886 this fund dis
tributed totals over $3,8OO,OOO, or
about SO per pupil. Pine county
schools received over $4,000 income
tax aid for 1886. Pine county citizens
pay annually less than $1,000 income
tax into this fund. This is a good
school aid tax and is based entirely
on the ability to pay.
