Memoiy election:" "Render onto
Caesar tM things that are Caesar's,
and unto God the. 'things that are
God's" Luke 20: 1 25. ' -
' Lesson texts Luke 20: 10-26;
,;i I Peter Z: 15-17. ,
Among the questions asked . Jesus' :.
during the1; last Tuesday of his life"
was one in respect to paying tribute I
to Caesar., The Pharisees, who were
itiM Knl(MriHji and Datriotic. com-
i bined with hV Herodians, who were
those isupbrtink thi rule of Herod,
in an effort to trap Jesus and cause
f. him' some discomfiture,
i After some flattering preliminary
remarks, the direct question was
asked: v "Is .-Hi lawful for m
' to give tribute unto Caesar, or not!
The hope was that whichever way
Jesus answered, he would stir up the
enmity of a powerful faction. . For,.

bute money, he ffrould encounter the
Jews, who were bitteidy opposed to
the Roman ' dominion over ;ithem,i
whereas, if he ad.vised against the
payment, he could be cited to the Ko
man authorities, which was, as a mat
ter of fact, one of the charges later
filed against him.. ......
- Jesus answered- the question in a
very effective manner. Calling for a
denarius, the Roman silver coin which
was used as tribute money, he call
ed attention to the fact that Caesar
had issued the coin. "Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
meant that the Jew should pay his le
gitimate share of the taxes as com
pensation for the advantages which
the Roman government afforded him.
The tax defrayed the cost of the or
der which was maintained In the lvm
pire, its' Judicial1 processes, the de
fense of its army against barbarians,
its excellent roads, its security and
many other advantages. " v. .

ca and caution that the exercise of
these are carried out upon the high
plane which serves both God and man
.at the sametime..
Peter, in his episwe, wv. --
tians to live righteously in their com
munities, so that those who are prone
to criticize them can see their good
works. Peter felt that a man or wo
man conscientiously . following j the
principles of the Christian religion,
would be different from other uncon
verted in the same community. &aa
toS. though, today it is somewhat
difficult, at times, to
church members from Jho jrhomato

criticism v by. "good works," and re

But all men have not learned to build. Some

Hence, In a land where men treasure free

that the rights of ail may be safeguarded. I'
, S Bu there U a better way. Religious training
is a sure vaccine against the spiritual disease
that produces criminals. The Church can pro- -vide
our children with the God-given moral
foundations on which life should be built.' "
