Text. Matthew 22:15.22, 1910

This lesson on good citizens and
| good neighbors is based upon two
| incidents in the life of Jesus. both
of which tell of efforts of His critics
and enemies to ensnare Him into
some statement that they might use
against Him to get Him l n t o
trouble.
It has frequently happened In life
that a man of simple goodness,
meekness, and generous spirit has
shown great astuteness, especially
when others have tried to deal with
him hypocritically and to take ad.
vantage of his righteousness. This
was true Of our Master.
These enemies who came to trap
Him were probably strongly oppos.
ed to the Roman occupation of
their country. They showed 40 al
legiance to Caesar, or if they did so
it was merely an outward allegiance
which they hated and renowned in
their hearts. Yet they took this
very matter Of paying tribute to
Caesar to embarrass Jesus and to
arouse opposition to Him.
Their question was designed to
get Him in trouble, whichever way
He answered. If He said it was
lawful to pay tribute to Caesar,
the intensely Jewish patriots who
were opposed to Rome would de.
nounce and prosecute Him. If, on
the other hand, He said that it was
not lawful to pay tribute to Gaze
sar, they could make out a very
good case to get Him in trouble
with the Roman authorities.
With amazing wisdom and rene-
tration of what was in their minds,
Jesus called for a coin. It bore
upon it, of course, the image of Cae.
sar, and the Pharisees could not
but acknowledge this. Then" said
Jesus. render therefore unto Cae.
sar the things that are Caesars;
and unto God the things that are
God's.'
These words have been almost
universally misunderstood and mis-.
used in our modern world. They are
quoted often as the authority of
Jesus for obedience to the state,
and also an endorsing the principle
Of the separation between church
and state. Obedience to the state in

its Just and proper demands Is a
civic virtue. Good laws ana o0eo'
fence to them are at the very 1oun'
dation of a we%ll-ordered society.
But history has shown again and
again that bad laws, Inc ooedience
to them. are the marks of a djsor-
dered society.
Christians have been compelled
many times to protest against evil
or unjust laws and to refuse TO
obey them for conscience's sake.
Surely we must recognize that the
law of Christ upholds such action.
Again. the principle OF separa'
ton between church and state Is
an excellent practical measure In
a modern democracy composed OF
widely different religious elements.
But if this be taken to mean that
in one compartment Of ones life
is the obligation of duty to the state
and in the other compartment is OBJ
legation of duty to God, the divid-
ing up of life and duty in that way
is against the very spirit and teach
ing of Jesus.
What Jesus taught continuously
is that all things belong to God. In
the incident which we r study
ing, Jesus was taking a very prac-
tical way of confounding the Phari'
sees who sought to trap him. But
He was certainly not asserting that
there was an authority of Caesar
or of the state which is apart al
together from that of God.
With equal wisdom and astute'
ness, Jesus answered the question
of the lawyer who asked Him to
say which was the greatest com.
mandment in the Jewish law. Here
He might easily incur the hostility
of those who exalted one law above
another. But Jesus turned the ques'
ton upon His questioner, and He
took the occasion to sum up all the
law in the great, positive injunction
of love to God and love to ones
neighbor.
"On these two commandments
Jesus said, "the whole a "
hangeth."
Might we not put this in mod.
ern terms by saying that in these
two commandments and the full.
fillment of them we have the sum
| and substance of religion?

WASHINGTON.- Senator Vanden
berg privately is very uneasy over
the unfavorable effect upon his pres.
idential campaign of his clarnor fol-
aggressive action against Japan.
He is so concerned that he sum
moned his regional managers to
Washington for secret pow-wow.
Their advice was that he should soft
pedal the issue for two reasons:
(1) The inconsistency, to the pub
lie, of his denouncing Roosevelt's re-
peal of the arms embargo as war
move, and at the same time de-
manding war-like policy toward
Japan; and (2) complaints by G.. o.
P. leaders that Vandenberg played
into the hands of the Democrats by
diverting public attention away from
domestic affairs and focusing it on
international problems.
Republican strategists have point
ed out that the one thing the Demo
Gratis want is to wage the campaign
on the administration international
policies, and a G. o. P. candidate
who allows them to do that would be

Tom Dewey's farm speech was
lifted largely from Glenn Frank
background for Republican plat
form. Both were temperately, beau
tifully written.
In their critical aspects both were
masterpieces of understatement.
The net result Of all that Mr.. Wal
lace has done for agriculture is alb
solutely zero-which is considerably
less than 80 degrees below freezing.
So Mr.. Dewey and Mr.. Frank made
a fairly spectacular and unanswer-
able case on that point.
All authorities agree that the prob
lem is largely surplus production.
Mr.. Wallace started out to reduce
the surplus. He has not decreased
it. He has greatly increased it and
his and other administration poll
cies have vastly decreased the pos
sibility of consuming it, In doing
what he has done, Mr.. Wallace has
spent billions. I hate to criticize
him, because he knows more about
farming than anybody who attempts
to discuss the subject. He is as sim
cere and Intellectually honest man
as there is in this administration. I
am so convinced of this that, if I

licked from the start because the
party is split on these questions.
Many prominent Republicans and
big contributors have publicly sup
ported New Deal foreign measures.
The managers also reported that
in the coastal states, where Vanden-
berg is weakest, there is much pub
lie opposition to his slet's 60 get
'em" stand on the japanese. No
final conclusion was reached at the
conference, but it is significant that
since then Vandenberg has been 81
lent about Far Eastern affairs.
NOte-The consensus of opinion at
the meeting was in favor of enter
ing Vandenberg in more state pri-
maries in opposition to Dewey. Most
of the managers reported that the
New Yorker, despite his lead in pop
ular polls, was losing ground with
local G.. Q. P. leaders and news
paper men, with whom he had a
number of personal clashes during
his recent Western sorties.
