DEVOTIONAL
Matthnr : 17j Xujra
READING! Matthew
About Face
Lesson for January 20, 195
pAX collector and customs . offi
1'cers in these days ar highly
respectable men. They are not (offi
cially) popular; but every one knows
they are necessary.. What they col
lect is fixed by law, and they get no
commission on their
collections. V The y
live on a salary al
so fixed by law; If
any one feels
"gouged" by taxes
he never ' accuses
the ' collector, the
fault is somewhere
else. ?.
Now In Palestine,
in the time of
Christ, it was dif
ferent Throughout the gospels the
name "publican" or, as translated
in present-day English, "tax-collector",
la evidently ' a name for a
mean man. Jesus himself used pub
licans as examples of the lowest
level of society. The reason was
this: In the Roman system of tax
collection, the privilege of levying
taxes in a given district was
"farmed out", that is to say, offered
at auction. The highest bidder was
given the franchise, and then he,
or men he hired, would proceed to
collect all the traffic would bear.
Palestine at that time was under
the Romans, and the Jews had the
army of occupation with them year
after year. What the tax collectors
did was to turn over to the Romans
what the Romans wanted, and
everything over and above that
amount went into the collector's
strong-box.
.
A Christian's Job , '
ONE day Jesus Just said "follow
me" to one of these men, named
Matthew, and the man got up and
followed him. So far as we know,
he never set foot in his office again.
Very likely, as a great preacher
has suggested, this was not the first
time Matthew had seen Jesus. Pos
sibly they had had conversations
before, out of business hours. The
preacher goes on to suggest that
Matthew may have come -to loathe
his job, but never have seen just
how he could leave it.
Be that as It may, Matthew
understood quite well that he
could not be both a publican and
a. follower of Jesus. This raises
a. question: Are there occupa
tions today which a true Chris-
, tlan cannot follow without sin?
There was a dope peddler: one
night sitting on a stone wall outside
a New England church. Somehow
the Spirit of God blessed the sing
ing that night, for one of the hymns
sang its way straight into that man's
heart, and that very hour he threw
his packet of dope away and became
a Christian. He never went back to
that business. We . can all see that
he was right; . but are there other
businesses also that cannot have
the blessing of Christ upon them?
-.
Whom Do You Follow?
THE story of Matthew suggests
also that every one is some
kind of follower. Some people just
"follow their noses", that is, they
Just keep on in the routine of their
lives, doing today what they did
yesterday just because they hav
the habit of living, in this way.
Others follow an ambition, others a
desire for . revenge, others follow
pleasure, others attach themselves
to a leader (political, social or what
not) and - follow somebody else's
band-wagon. ' " 'i'p;':; -'
The tragedy, of the Christian
church is that, although every
Christian, er rather every
church member, has solemnly
' promised to follow Jesus Christ,
they don't all follow him, by any
means. They go right on follow
ing habit, or pleasure, or ambl
. tlon, and they do not .ask (as
. Matthew must have ' asked) '
whether these things are such
: as Christ can bless, or net.
. In spite of Jesus' plain statement:
You cannot serve God and Mam
mon (the god of money), people co
right on serving Mammon in spite
of their Christian profession, ' '
' boot Face! : :;; ? , ' V"1"
TIE word "conversion" , means
simply "turning around". It
is turning all the way around.

' it won't do for the rookie

Brushing does remove some of the

the blanket somewhat, It will make
It soft and' fluffy and the nap will
stand up like new. , -
For A Safe Kitchen
in the kitchen where most home
Accidents ' occur, cleanliness and
orderliness are important, both
from accident prevention as well as
health standpoint.' When It is nec

than boxes or chairs. "; ,r- r
