JIattbew 22:39.
(Lesson Texi: Matt. 22:15-22, 4-40)
After hearing Jesus relate certain
Wables which were clearly in co"
demaation f themselves, the Phari-
. j tji a lurnich an attack.
S, whSe Jesus was teaching In the
tempi Jerusaleni during his last
week of life, they were instrumental
in having several queries put to him
in the nope of embarrassing him and
...... ,;. iiaofntnAss and m-
UttBbrujr nig
fluence.
The Jews at this time were under
the rule of the Romans, wnose em
r,ror was Tiberius. Among the tax
es which the Jews paid was a census-
t.;K,.ta Sometime nrior 10 una,
payment of taxes to the Romans had
been denounced as a sin by Judas of
whn contended that the Jews
lived under a theocracy, with God
as their only king, and the payment
of taxes to the government
wrong. 1
The Pharisees cailled to their help
in propounding the first question the
1 Herodians. The former were very
orthodox in religious matters, very
patriotic in political affairs, and us
ually conformed in conduct to the
Jewish law. The latter were almost
exactly the opposite, being affiliated
with a government friendly and sub
servient to Rome, caring very little
for religion, and living generally
loose and. licentious lives. In their
common opnpsition to Jesus these
two unnatural allies cooperated.
The preliminary premise was care
fully prepared before the question
was put. It began by expressing a
conviction that Jesus was sincere,
that he was teaching God's truth, and
4-,fore absolutely fearless of the
TfL ii.-the answer to any ques
,ce heightened the
lon' heard it pro-
Snterest of ...those Whv- 'jon to the
pounded and called attenw
imDortance attributed to the u.
'Then, Jesus was asked whether it
wta lawful to pay tax to Caesar.
The proponents or the question
thought that they had placed Jesus
in an intricable difficulty. If he op-
j tv -nnvment he would incur
the tsnmity of the Herodjansjnhe
ioman government; iTh-advised the
payment, ,) would-2uenate the.deyc
tion nntSP of a large portjsn
of Jews.-' who had been inflamed to
-regetd it as sinful ; and, i he avoid
ed the question by not answering,
he would deny the truth of their
complimentary, introductory PreaJ
and his standing would be imperiled.
Jesus' reply was masterful and un
answerable. Calling for a denarius, the -Roman
coin with which the poll tax
was paid," he directed attention to
t.h fact that on it appeared the
image ana inscription uj. vv,
therefore give Caesar the things
that .were. his. In other words, inas
much as"1the Jews received all the
benefits of the imperial government
and accepted them without question,
they should not be averse to paying
- something for the services received.
The Romans had given them im-
j 'proved roads, a body of laws which
surpassed any of prior days, an era
'. of peace and order as a result of
their adminis'.ration which enabled
business to thrive and life to exist
securely, and" in addition, protection
from alien enemies through the
strengtriarid ability of the Roman
soldiers. .For such things, Jesus, in-
tir.ated, it vas just that payment be:
ic.tdered.
llo .vever, Jesus was not willing to
leave '.he question here. While he
rp-ocnized a duty of the citizen to
ths government which aids and pro
tects him, Jesus also represented the
eternal and indes'ructible divine
principles of righteousness and jus
tice. The citizen had his obligation
to God as well as to Caesar, and
Jesus continued that the Jew was to
render unto God the things that were
His. While these two obligations

upon those rare occasions.
The Sadducees then took , p fte
task. . This religions grop did not
believe in the immortality of the ha
man soul,. yet they based their ques
tion to .Jesus upon the aosurnption
that his 'teaching that regard was
correct Obviously, an Insincere mo
tive 'prompted the question which
they propounded. They asked Jesus
the hypothetical question as to which
of seven wives -man had 4ft earth
would be his In the day of resurrec
tion. Jesus, knowing that their pur
pose was onHy to embarrass-him, re
plied that they would know in good
time now the dead live and thus
realize' that their question WI not
applicable to the future state, '
Then the Pharisees came back
with another question. Their school
emphasized that the Peptateuch con
tained 365 prohibitions and 228 com
mandments, and often they had de
bated among themselves which of
these rules was the most important.
Then a scribe learned and well
versed in the law, asked Jesus which
was the great commandment. Jesus
answered by quoting from Deuteron
ora ai passage requiring that man
should lovt God wholeheartedly, a
passage which was recited daily by
every Jew. It summarized the flrst
table of the law and Jesus added to
it a quotation from Leviticus, sum
ming, up the second table, that man
should love his neighbor a4 himself.
Summarizing the whole law, Jesus
said these two commandment . em
brace them all. The scribe approv
ed, apparently, sincerely, the Lord's
answer, and Jesus assured him that
he was not far from the Kingdom Of
God. .
"Civilization Will
Perish Unless Men
Cooperate," Compton
"Either people will learn to live
together or civilization will perish
from the face of the earth," declares
Dr. Arthur- Holly Compton, eminent
physicist and Nobel Prize winner, "in
the current Rotarian Magazine." This
is not sentiment, but fact the basic
"--t. vrith tin world's culture, sci-
enet eo?1011' .Prosperity, and so

tod. widespread devastetdonKiut Sffcg
gefts that it like others will pass.
He praises today's almost universal
education which has taught men the
fotlly of ignorance and the pestilence
it breeds. "It is vital that !we go
forward resistlessly with teaching,
learning, experimenting, investigat
ing .inventing, preparing the way for
the onward march of mankind. But
with it must go progress in the art
of living together.
Science alone is not enough.
Goodwill to all men, old in statement,
but ever new in significance, is the
vital spark needed today. If such
goodwill is absent as men become
more and more dependent upon each
other, we can only expect increase of
vicious strife. Hostilities pile up be
tween nations, business and govern
ment, labor and camtal. As men
divide into antagonistic groups, sci
ence and technology may become
terribly destructive," he reasons.
.Yet Dr. Compton is not pessimis
tie. Pew men. he thinks, want the
war now darkening the world. "I
believe that progress has been made,
thatTthe world is, through science
and moral agencies working together,
acauirinir a hisrher standard of mor-
aiity jn spite 0f industrial strife,
wars, and other throwbacks. I be-
ieve that if we continue on the basis
0f research and goodwill, courage-
busfly seeking and applying both
scientific and moral truths, t.he
bonds of empire will be extended far
beyond anything we can now fore
see," the famed scientist declares.
