What shall we have to wear?" For these are
all things the heather are in pursuit. of, and
your heavenly Father knows we'll that you need
all this. But you must make his kingdom, and
uprightness before him, your greatest care, and
you will have all these other things besides. So
do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will have worries of its own. Let each day be
content with its own ills
X Pass no more judgments upon other people,
so that you may not have Judgment passed upon
you. For you will be judged by the standard
you judge by, and men will pay you back with
the same measure you have used with them.
Why do you keep looking at the speck in your
brothers eye, and pay no attention to the beam
that is in your own? How can you say to your
brother, Just let me get that speck out of your
eye" when all the time there is beam il, your
own? You hypocrite! First get the beam out of
your own eye, and then you can see to get the
speck out of your brothers eye.
\ Do not give what is sacred to dogs, and do
not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will
trample them under their feet and turn and
tear you in pieces Ask, and what you ask will
be given you. Search, and you will find what
you search for. Knock, and the door will open
to you. For it is always the one who asks who
receives. and the one who searches who finds,
and the one who knocks to whom the. door
opens. Which Of you men when his son asks
him for some bread will give him stone? Or if

anyone who looks at woman with desire has
already committed adultery with her in his
heart But if your right eye makes you fall, tear
it out and throw it away. for you might better
lose one part Of your body than have it all
thrown into the pit! If your right hand makes
you fall, cut,it off and throw it away! For you
might better lose one part Of your body than
have it all go down to the pit!
X They were told, Anyone who divorces his
wife must give her certificate of divorce" But
Itell you that anyone who divorces his wife on
any ground, except unfaithfulness, makes her
commit adultery and anyone who marries her
after she is divorced commits adultery.
X Again, you have heard that the men of old
were told, You shall not swear falsely, but you
must fulfil your oaths to the Lord" But tell
you not to swear at all, either by heaven, for it
isGods throne Or by the earth, for it is his foot
stool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the
great king You must not swear by your own
head, for you cannot make one single hair white
or black. But your way of speaking must be
'Yes" or mo" Anything that goes beyond that
comes from the evil one.
X You have heard that the men of old were
told You shall not murder" and Whoever
murders will have to answer to the court But
] tell you that anyone who gets angry with his
brother will have to answer to the court, and
anyone who speaks contemptuously to his
brother will have to answer to the great council.
and anyone who says to his brother You cursed
fool" will have to answer for it in the fiery pit!
So when you are presenting your gift at the
altar, if you remember that your brother has
any grievance against you, leave your gift right
there before the altar and go and make up with
your brother; then come back and present your
Evening star., 1951-06-07

gift. Be quick and come to terms with your op-
ponent while you are on the way to court with
him, or he may hand you over to the judge, and
the Judge may hand you over to the officer, and
you will be thrown into prison. l tell you, you
will never get out again until you have paid the
last penny!
X You have heard that they were told, AN
eye for an eye and tooth for tooth" But tell
you not to resist injury, but if anyone strikes
you on your right cheek, turn the other to him
too; and if anyone wants to sue you for your
shirt, let him have your coat too. And if anyone
forces you to go one mile, go two miles with
him. If anyone begs from you, give to him, and
when anyone wants to borrow from you, do not
turn away.
X You have heard that they were told, you
must love your neighbor and hate your enemy"
But | tell you, love your enemies and pray for
your prosecutors, so that you may show your
selves true sons of your Father in heaven, for
he makes his sun rise on bad and good alike,
and makes the rain fall on the upright and the

good fruit. Any tree that does not bear good
fruit is cut down and burned. So you can tell
them by their fruit 1t is not everyone who says
to me Lord! Lord!" who will get into the
Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the
will Of my Father in heaven. Many will say to
me on that Day, Lord! Lord! Was it not in
your name that we prophesied, and by your
name that we drove out demons, and by your
name that we did many mighty acts?" Then
will say to them plainly, Tnever knew you! Go
away from me, you who do wrong!"
X Everyone, therefore, who listens to this
teaching of mine and acts upon it, will be like

And the rain fell, and the rivers rose, and the
winds blew, and beat about that house, and it
did not 60 down, for its foundations were on

the reward they will get! But when you give to
charity, your own left hand must not know
what your right hand is doing, so that your
charity may be secret, and your Father who sees
what is secret will reward you.
X When you pray, you must not be like the
hypocrites, for they like to pray standing in
places of worship and in the corners Of the
squares to let people see them. tell you, that is
the only reward they will get But when you
pray, 60 into your own room, and shut the door,
and pray to your Father who is unseen, and your
Father who sees what is secret will reward you.
And when you pray, do not repeat empty
phrases as the heather d. for they imagine that
their prayers will be heard if they use words
enough. You must not be like them. For God,
who is your Father, knows what you need be-
fore you ask him. This, therefore, is the way
you are to pray:

love you, what reward can you expect? Do not
the very tax-collectors do that? And if you are
polite to your brothers and no one else, what is
there remarkable in that? Do not the very
heather do that? So you are to be perfect, as
your heavenly Father is.

X Do not store up your riches on earth, where
moths and rust destroy them, and where thieves
break in and steal them, but store up your riches
in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy
them, and where thieves cannot break in and
steal them. For wherever your treasure is, your
heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the
body. If then your eye is sound, your whole body
will be light, but if your eye is unsound your
whole body will be dark. If, therefore, your very
light is darkness, how deep the darkness will
be! No slave can belong to two masters, for he
will either hate one and love the other, or stand
by one and make light of the other You cannot
serve God and money. Therefore, tell you, do
not worry about life, wondering what you will

more important than food, and the body than

of more account than they? But which of you
with all his worry can add single hour to his
life? Why should you worry about clothing?
See how the wild flowers grow. They do not
toll or spin, and yet tell you, even Solomon in
all his splendor was never dressed like one of
them. But if God so beautifully dresses the wild
grass, which is alive today and is thrown into
the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more

iyou, bad as you are, know enough to give your
children what is good, how much more surely
will your Father in heaven give what is good to
those who ask him for it! Therefore, you must
always treat other people as you would like to
have them treat you, for this sums up the Law
and the Prophets.

State Income Taxes
Treasury Asks Revision
Of Law After Vermont
Threat of Retaliation

The Treasury said today it will
ask Congress soon to let Federal
agencies withhold State income
taxes from Federal employees.
This follows a recent threat by
Vermont to stop withholding Fed
eral income tax from Vermont
States employees unless Federal
agencies, in return, withhold Ver-
mont income tax from Federal
employees.
Comptroller General Lindsay C.
Warren has ruled Federal agen-
cies cannot withhold State income
taxes from Federal workers under
present Federal law.
Covered in Only Two States.
Only two States now have laws
requiring general withholding in
aid of their State income tax col
lections.
Oregon, the first state to adopt
such a law, asked the Federal
government a couple of years ago
to withhold the Oregon tax from
Federal employees. But when Mr..
Warren handed down his ruling,
Oregon let the matter drop.
Vermont took a different atti-
tude when its withholding tax
law became effective last July l.
State officials threatened retail
alton when Federal agencies re-
fused, under Mr.. Warren's ruling,
to withhold Vermont tax from
Federal workers.
Cooperation Promised.
Today, the Treasury issued this
statement:
1T is the policy of the Federal
government to cooperate with
the States in the administration
of their tax laws to the fullest
extent practicable.
TO further this objective, legis-
lation is required authorizing Fed
eral agencies to withhold State
income taxes. The appropriate
form of such legislation is now
under consideration with a view
to a request for early congress
sional action.
Federal withholding of State
income taxes. in those instances
in which the States employ this
method of collection, will consti-
tute logical development in Fed
eral-State fiscal cooperation.
For a number of years, the
Federal Government has been
furnishing State and local gov
ernments imposing taxes with
copies of the Federal withholding
receipt (Form W-2) indicating
the amount of compensation re-
ceived by Federal employees.
Estate and local governments
are cooperating generously in the
administration of Federal taxes,
and the Treasury strongly sup
ports Federal cooperation with
the States in this matter"
