For Longer Life

IIiE following ten commandments, given
by the pastor Of a metropolitan church
some time ago, might prove interesting and
helpful to some Of us. Read them over care
fully, one or more Of them might apply to
YOU:
-. Honor your parents BY having a tho
rough physical examination every birth
day, for an ounce Of prevention is worth
ton Of cure.
=. Honor Your friends BY taking daily
bath; for cleanliness is part of godliness
=. Honor Your family hy having your
lite insured, for life insurance guarantees
to cooperation of the insurer in the pro-
longation Of the life of the insured.
a. Honor your physician by avoiding
patent medicines; for the most of these
nostrums are humbugs
IS. Honor your digestion by being care
full of your diet; for many man digs his
grave with his teeth.
g. Honor your stomach by having your
teeth carefully examined by q dentist at
regular intervals, for bad teeth are an
abonination to the system
=. Honor your lungs by breathing fresh
air, for ventilation is a means of grace.
g. Honor your nerves by taking plenty
of rest i'll sleep; for they who work all day
and play all night promote the brevity Of
their lives by burning the candle at both
ends.
80 Honor your county by obeying the
laws; for il is q mark Of good citizenship TO
obey law whether one likes it or not.
10. Honor your God by chastity in word,
thought and deed for the race that wishes
eternity must exalt maternity"

time is that rich people cannot buy it. They

wrong living, or by causing violence, or at

in us, for we are citizens in both

especially where the two worlds

The Face o. the Money


Jesus answer was not all Yes
nor all No. AS he had done before,
he put the question right back to
the questioners. First he asked to
see denarius. The very name of
the coin was Roman; it would be
about what workman in those
days would make in a day. OF
course the only money the Romans
would accept for taxes would be
Roman money. Like all hard
money, this piece had picture on
it, and some words in Latin around
the edge of it. JESUS forced the
priests spies to admit that the pic
ture was of His Majesty the En-
peror, then Tiberius Caesar; and
the Latin words also referred to
him. In short, the whole thing was
Roman. They would be reminded
that the Romans came to Palestine
in the first place by the Jews re-
quest; that they had brought peace
to the torn land; that the roads and
public safety were maintained by
the Romans . all with tax money.
Some of the tax denarius would
stay right in the province. The face
on the money spoke for itself. The
Imperial Government had a right
to lay tax. Give to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar" Jesus said; but
added in the same th-"and tc
God what belongs ) GOO
Two Worlds
Ever since that moment, both
followers and critics of Jesus have
had trouble figuring out precisely
what Jesus meant One thing does
seem clear enough. For the mo-
ment, he was shutting the mouths
Of those who tried to make him
look silly. Without saying Yes or
No to their tricky yet practical
question, he called their attention
to the fact that they owed Caesar
something, and owed God some
thing; and perhaps limited that they
were behind with their installments
on both accounts. However. look
ing beneath the surface of Jesus
brilliantly simple answer, we can
see a truth which is just as good
for America as it is or was for
province Of the Roman Empire cen
turies ago. Every man, whether he
realizes it or not. is citizen Of
two worlds. One is the human world
around him, as in America here. All
of us owe America a great deal.
We can appreciate our country
more if we stop to think that more
people would like to move here,
than to any other country on the
globe. Our country has right to
our loyal support
The other world is called the
Kingdom or Realm of God It is not
visible always cit cometh not with
observatory. but it is far more
important, and infinitely more en-
during, than any human common
wealth. II we owe our country
much, we owe the Kingdom Of God
yet more.
