JESUS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE j
LESSON TEXT? Luke 20:19-26; 21:1-4.
^GOLDEN TEXT? Render therefore unto
Laesar the things which be Caesar's and
uiito God the things which be God's- ?
Luke 20:25.
REFERENCE MATERIAL? Matt. 7:2S
20; Isa. 28:14-20; Acts 4:7-22; Rom. 13:1-7.
PRIMARY TOPIC? The Gift That
Pleased Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC? The Widow and Iler
Two Mites.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
?Jesus the fearless Teacher.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Jesus Answering llis Oi>posers.
The popularity of Jesus after the
triumphal entry greatly troubled the
rulers of Israel, lie met their wicked
challenge as to his authority in such
a skillful way as to place them uft'der
condemnation for their unbelief. This
condition was accentuated by the par
able of the householder.
I. The Question of Paying Tribute
(20:19-20).
1. Spies Sent to Entrap Jesus (v.
20). The rulers were too cowardly to
do this themselves, so they employed
underlings to do their mean work
while they hid away. This diabolical
method is employed today in political
and religious lit#. Many times ques
tions are* raised under the guise of
sincerity, when the real purpose is to
do mischief.
2. Wicked Flattery (v. 21). They
| complimented llis truthful teaching,
llis impartiality and courage. They
certiiied to His faithfulness even to
that extent that lie would face Caesar
himself. This compliment was true,
though insincerely given. l>uck of this
| finitely was the base purpose to de
stroy Jesus, if any today praise to the
fuce in order to stab in the back.
3. The Cunning Question (vv. 22
2G). "Is it lawful for us to give trib
ute to Caesar or not?" At this time
the Jews were galling under the yoke
of the Roman government.. To have
answered this question either by "yes"
or "no" would have involved diiticul
ties. To have answered "yes," would
have conveyed the Impression of en
i dorsing all that the Roman govern
ment did. To have answered, "no,"
would have at once brought him into
conflict with the government, it is
not always an easy matter for a
Christian to determine his right re
lation to civil government.
Christ's reply to this question prop*
erly understood and applied is the
final word on the subject. Until the
civil authorities demand that which
Is a violation of God's law we are
bound to render unto them obedience.
Render unto Caesar the things due
I within the realm of t'.^e rights of gov
, eminent.
But while Christ's answer sets forth
their duties to civil authorities. lie
used the occasion to impress uj>on
Cliom the duties due to God. Render
unto God the things that are God's.
Man bears the Image of God. There
fore he should honor and serve Him.
Since he enjoy's God's protection and
care, It is his duty to own allegiance
to Him, yield his life to Hiin?ln serv
j Ice, worship and praise. Everyone who
enjoys the bene tits of civil government
is obliged to pay the taxes which are
necessary for the support of that gov
i eminent, and everyone who . receives
I God's favor is placed under a like
j obligation unto Him.
II. Jesus' Estimate of Gifts (21:1-4).
1. Jesus Watching the People Giv
ing (v. 1). He was greatly interested
in observing the way tlie people cast
their gifts into the treasury. Perhaps
there is more vital index to one's char
acter than the way he behaves before
the Lord's treasury. Jesus sits over
against every treasury and knows
every dollar cast into it. He knows
how the dollars come nnd how they
go. No trickery can deceive Him. He
not only knows this in the church, but
He knows It in the business world. '
} 2. The ICIch Gave of Their Abund
! ance (vv. 1-4). They, no doubt, gave
much, but in proportion to what they
had left their gifts were small. The
size of the gift is not primarily to be 1
{ measured by how much it is, but how
much has the giver left.
3. A Widow Gave Two Mites (vv.
2-4). In value a mite was less than a
| cent. Though the two coins were of
small value themselves, they repre
I sented ber all? not merely her sur
plus, but her living. Let no one de
ceive himself by pretending to give ;
the widow's mite, for to give the ;
widow's mite meaas to give every- 1
thing.
4. Jesus' Verdict (vv. 3-4). He de- j
?lared that she had given more than;
they nil. Jesus looks into the heart ?
and estimates our gifts not by their j
size but by the motives prompting
them.
An Honest Man.
I hope 1 shall always posses^ firm'
ness and virtue enough to maintain
what I consider the most enviable of
all titles, the character of an "honest
man." ? George Washington.
Happiness. i
Oh, how bitter a thing It Is to look
Into happiness through another man'l
eyes ! ? Shakespeare. j

SCOUTS

(Conducted by National Council of th? Boy
Scouts of America.)
BOY SCOUTS' ANNIVERSARY
Tlie Boy Scouts cf America through
out the entire country celebrated the
week of the thirteenth anniversary of
the movement February 8-15. Dem
onstrations of scoutcraft, rallies, par
ent-and-son meetings, radio messages
of Indorsement of scouting by promi
nent people, and the taking of the*
scout oath by well-known men had a
place on the program. Fifty thousand
cards containing a splendid indorse
ment of the movement were placed in '
street cars throughout the country. 1
Thousands of billboard posters pic- |
turing scout training appeared in the
different cities. The car cards and post- j
ers were the donation of stanch s#p |
porters of the movement to help bring J
scouting's message to every American !
man, woman and child.
! One of the most impressive acts of ;
the entire week occurred on the eve-',
ning of February 8 when every scout j
and scout leader throughout the coun- (
try reaffirmed the scout oath:
"On my honor, I will do my best !
"1. To do my duty to God and my j
country, and to obey the scout law;
"2. To help other people at all
times ;
"3. To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight."
j In many communities the respective
days of anniversary week were de
voted to scouting in connection with
the school, the church, the home, and i
the community. Special deinonstra- j
tlons were given showing what scout- |
Ing is doing to co-operate with each
of these Institutions.
As the public grows more familiar ,
with the scout program of character
building and citizenship training. It j
demands ? "Why are there not more j
boy scouts?" In response to this
question, the Boy Scouts of America
made an extraordinary effort to make
room in the ranks by anniversary
week for 100, 000 new members. This
effort was termed the anniversary
round-up. In this connection every
scout the country over had uo oppor
tunity of doing a national good turn,
by bringing to the ranks one more boy
to advance in the work of good citi
zenship. Indications point to an over
subscription of the quota of 100,000.
With the Increase proposed, the total
boy membership of the Hoy Scouts of
America will reach the half million
murk.
President Harding, In his apprecia
tion of the work of the Boy Scouts of
America and his Interest In seeinc
more boys members of the organiza
tion, authorized the presentation in his
name of a large silk American flag
to each region attaining Its quota of
Increase In membership for the an
nlversary roundup; a handsome set of
silk streamers ? red, white and blue ?
to each of the 000 local councils thai
reaches Its goal ; and a similar but
smaller set of streamers to each troop
that enrolls the specified number of
pew members. President Harding Is
the honorary president of the Boy
Scouts of America.
HAS FAITH IN BOYS
A group of scouts unsolicited, recent
ly took the responsibility of guarding
a certain dangerous crossing, of get
ting little children over in safety.
These boys didn't tell anybody of what
they were , doing. They weren't look
ing for credit ? they were just doing.
Last winter a scout stood guard over
a live wire for several hours on a
freezing night. In passing, he had 1
seen the dauger, and on his own in
itiative guarded passersby until the re
lialrmen came. He t'roze his ear, but
he did his duty as a scout.
And when the boy scout organ Iza- 1
tlon through Its chief scout executive,
said: "We claim th^re are no natural
ly bad hoys, though there are idle, mis
directed or undirected, mischievous,
heedless or mistaken boys," It based
that assertion, and the following one !
on Just such facts as these quoted :
"We claim that if you giv-e a boy
plenty of interesting, worthwhile
things to do In his out-of-school or af
ter-work hours, that the chances are ,
he will have little Inclination to ma- j
llclous mischief or vicious amusement.'* j
AID INJURED BOY
While playing, Robert McKnlght of
Bowling Green took a big Jump and
his foot landed upon a broken bottle.
A large artery was cut and began to
bleed profusely. Scout Norman Loomls j
was present. Following his first aid j
Instructions, he promptly stopped the j
Cow of blood by use of a tourniquet. He
then took the Injured boy upon Ills
back and carried him to his home.
ROTARY USES SCOUT MOTTO
In conformity with the scout slo
gan, "Do a Good Turn Dally," boy
scouts- of .Tampa, Fla., have per
formed excellent service to their com
munity. The boys declare that the
old saying, "Give to the world the
best you have, and the bept will come
back to you," Is especially significant
In their case. For now come their
friends, the Rotarlans, at a recent
state convention with a memento coin
on which Is stamped the motto, "Dc
a Good Turn Dally to Some Boy."
