IMPBOVED UNIPOBM OTEINATIONAL awsaiooi Lesson (By REV, 1-. R. FITtWATKR, D. D., Ityieher of English Bible in the Mopdy Bibje Institute us Chicago.) Go, 1 320, W’.'stnrn Krnpapor Union.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 13 LESSONS ON CITIZENSHIP. (May Be Used With Temperance Applications). LESSON TEXT- Matt. 22:15-23. OOLDBN TEXT-Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy hoart, and with all thy soul, and with nil thy mind. This Is the first tutd great commandment, And the second Is like unto It. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.—Matt. 22: 87-39. RBFERENCE MATERIAL - Matt. 23; I 1-39; Mark 12:13-17, 29-37: Luke 20:20-28. I 41-44; Rom. 13:1-14; Phil. 3:17-21. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Land We Love. JUNIOR TOPIC—Our Countrv. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Getting Ready for Citizenship. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Christian Standard of Citizenship. I. The Tribute Money (vv. 15-22). The Pharisees and Herodlans purposed to entrap Jesus mid bring Him into conflict with the Roman governK ment, so they came to Him with the . subtle question, “Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?" At this ' time the Jews were galling under the yoke of the Roman government. Some I even denied the right to pay tribute s to the government. To have answered this question by “yes” or “no” would ~ have involved difficulties. To have answered “yes" would have conveyed the impression of endorsement of all that the - Roman government did. To have ’ ' answered “no” would have nt once brought Him into conflict with the govo ernment. It is not an easy matter for g : a Christian always tp determine his „ ■ right relation to civil government. ! Many a minister has made a failure I of his work because he tried to solve 't I j the problem. Christ’s reply to this * question, properly understood and np- - - plied, is the final word on the subject. Until the" civil authorities dec j maud of us that which is a. violation of God’s’ law, we are bound to render , unto them obedience. “Render unto ■ Caesar the things that are Caesar’s” | means the highest obligation. Since 0 enjoying His protection and care it is our duty to owe all allegiance to Him, to yield our lives to Him in service, worship and praise. Every one who enjoys the benefits of civil government is obliged to pay the faxes which are necessary for the support of that s ’ government, and every one who re- ’ ceiveg God’s favor is placed under a like obligation unto Him. „ 11. The Grezt Commandment in the , Law (vv. 34-40). * For the third time in one day the Lord is tried by hard questions. While g these questioners were actuated by wrong motives, we may be forever glad that they put these questions to Him II because of the invaluable truth which 8 His answers set forth. e " 1. The first commandment (vv.34P- { 38). “Thou shalt love the Lord thy is God with all thy heart, with ail thy il soul, and with all thy mind.” This i- means that supreme and undivided y love to God is the first and great eom(1 mandment. This at once shows that 3 i man’s supreme obligation is to God. It is wrong to evaluate man’s char--5 acter on the basis of his morality as u expressed in his relation to his fellow man.

2. The second commandment (vv. 39-40). The second commandment is like unto the first in that it centers in love. It is not said that it is equal unto the first; that would not be true. A man may love himself, but not supremely. One's love for his neighbor may be either too much or too little. The - measure set is love for self. We should love God better than ourselves. He is worthy of all our affections and demands all. Love is not mere emotion, but a supreme desire for the welfare of another and a willingness to do everything possib’e to secure that end. The command to love our neighbor is involved in the command to love Clod. To pretend to love God is folly if we do not love our neighbor. No one does really love his neighbor who does not love God. To attempt to establish a brotherhood among men without the recognition of the Fatherhood of God is utter nonsense. Men become children of God by faith in Jesus Chrust. It is true that in the sense of bding God’s creatures all men are God’s children, but in the New Testament sense men are only God’s children as they are in Christ. Beware of the man who Is constantly crying for the brotherhood of man and is at the same time rejecting Jesus Christ. /U'he only real way to bring in the brotherhood of man is to preach Jesus Christ unto the race and secure their acceptance of Him. We thus become brothers in the real sense of the term, when we have God-as our Father. All obligations resting upon man are embraced in these two commandments. Those who conform their lives to them are God’s children and are the veqg best citizens. Worldly Fame. Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now - this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction. —Dante. Fame is an undertaker that pays but little attention to the living, bht bedizens the dead, furnishes out their funerals and follows them to the grave. •—Colton, Fame. Fame, like the river, is narrowest where it is bred, and broadest afar off. —Covenant. , 1

Senator Bowers introducing and pushing the bill is carrying out the pledges of his party to the . twelfth district constituency. Harry | Hogan, Indiana manager for Leonard Wood’s presidential primary camI paign has been actively working for the bill. There appeared to bo little doubt that the bill would fail to pass. Whether Senator Dowers is boosting the measure whole heartedly or not, he is between two lyes. If he should . succeed in putting the bill through the legislature, he would be condemned by the American Legion and others and if he failes to put it through he may be opposed by the German-Americans in event he ever seeks anothe rpublic office.

SPORT NEWS The County Tournament. The following Item relative to the county tournament was received this morning by mail and no doubt will piove ot interest to the ninny fans: The Sporting Editor of Democrat, Decatur, Indiana. Dear Sir; —Having been a basket ball fan for some years and under standing that a county tournament is to be held in Decatur this year I am veturing to give you my private opinion as to the possibility of the various teams tn the county winning the tournament. For the last five or six years 1 have been in a position to follow the teams representing the schools of Adnnts county and in my opinion this is the first year in which practically every team entered has a chance to win. The dope is hard to figure. Berne lias defeated Decatur on Decatur’s floor by a close score. Moil roe defeated Berne on Berne’s floor by an overwhelming score. Geneva defeated Monroe on Monroe's floor by a close score and then Decatur defeated Geneva on Decatur’s floor by a narrow margin. Kirkland lost to Berne at Berne in an overtime game. Hartford township is given a good rating and can be looked on as a contender for honors. All the teams with the exception of Geneva are light and last. Geneva lias the edge on all the other teams in weight and height but the tiling that will handicap qll the teams is the lack of practice on a comparatively large floor. 'Jlte weight of the Geneva team has won games for them on small floors and the question is whether or not this item will give them a <1 ■ cided advantage in the tournament. Monroe is fast and accurate, every man cn the teani a dangerous shot when within range of the basket ar I can be counted on to scrap until the final whistle. Berne is erratic and when in form will make any team hustle to beat them. Decatur has played inconsistent ball this season but being accustomed to the floor on which the tournament will be held, have this in their favor. Kirkland 'has not made a good showing on the small floors of the county but has a speedy team and a good scoring

combination. They are due to make a better 'showing than most ot the fans think. Hartford township can not be considered out of the race fo> much is expected of them and their game with Berne will be a scrap. However, when everything is balanced Geneva appears to have the edge. Their speed, height, weight and goal shooting ability will make any team play A-l ball to beat them Nevertheless, Monroe and Decatur may hit a stride that will take them around Geneva but they will have to piny better bail than they huve in the last month. The representatives of the schools are to be congratulated on their good sportsmanship in a tournament of this kind and 1 see no reason why the tournament thia year won’t be the best ever held. As soon as the tickets are on sale I'll be one of th« first to put in my bid for a front seat for all the sessions and may the team showing the best sportsmanship, best headwork and best teamwork win. Yours truly, "A FAN.” Two Good Games Tonight. The basket ball fans of this city will be treated to three good games tonight as a program out of the ordinary has been arranged. The MonI roeville high school first and second boys teams will clash with the local first and second team, and both games promise to be a real battle. The Monroeville boys defeated the locals in their city early in the season and are coming with the intention of doing it again. The local boys have been suffering a losing streak and expect to get started on the right road again tonight by defeating the Allen county eagers. Judge E. E. McGriff of Portland.
