The Caesar law laid down by the
Lord Of life gripes modern men in
their citizenship. The man who does
not vote at every election. and vote
in the fear OF God, has violated the
injunction to render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" That per-
son who is not definitely doing some
form OF public service. whether 1t be
helping to get out careless voters on
election day, or putting all the power
he possesses into opposition to office
seekers who are unworthy. or else
working in some non-political way
for the help Of the people. is not
measuring up to Christs specifications
of true man. To serve Caesar Is to
serve God. The good citizen is Gods
citizen.
What is the supreme obligation
resting upon mortal intelligence? Few
questions are older than this or more
natural to man. 1t was In the mind
of the scribe who, standing in the
background Of the crowd which sur
rounded Jesus in the courts of the
temple. on the last day Of his public
teaching. noted that the Nazarene
spoke with a wisdom above that of the
doctors OF the law. So he carried
to Jesus the races old religious ques-
ton. which was also his own. He
wanted to know mans first and high
est and clearest duty.
A sincere seeker, he got a straight
answer. In contrast to the hypo-
critical pettifoggers. who had been
trying to ensnare Jesus, here was .
man troubled in his own spirit, who
wanted really to know. The maze
OF paths and bypaths into which the
law had been divided by the the
ologians perplexed him. Religion had
become a matter of Journalism and
ritual with most of the Jews Of his
day. as one sees 1t today in Jeru-
salem.
To that anxious Jew in the temple
courts. the Master Laid down a sim
pie, understandable and workable
law Of life. 1t was a religion reduced
to its ultimate simplicities. A child
could comprehend it; but all Of a
strong mans powers were needed to
fulfill it. The twofold answer of
Jesus, setting forth the greatest COM
mandments. is portable truth, to be
carried away as a permanent posses
sion by every student of this lesson.
The Summed Up Law.
Four words compress the Masters
great definition Of the supreme duty
Of mortal: Love God. love man. Look
up. look around: reach up, lift up
The house Of life has heavenward
windows. The two oars that propel
the boat of character-either made
quate without the other-are love
to God and love to man
The two are twins. One is incom-
plete without the other What God
hath joined together let no man put
asunder," The danger in our day is
goddess conception of brotherhood,
which will neither work nor last In
the Masters time the danger was a
brotherless conception of godliness,
which was disloyal both to God and
man. Each is an essential compile
ment of the other.
