I Comments I On Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Christian Citizenship and Cooperation, Romans 13:1-10; Ist Corinthians 2:4-9 for Sunday September 12. A good citizen of God's kingdom makes him a good citizen of an earthly kingdom. God s love is expressed in obedience to law and he can protest only when Christian principles are violated. V.l. “Let every sdul be subject to higher powers. - For there is now power but of God: the powers that be ordained of God.” As order ic P/wi’c’ first law if < c nrrlolnazl that righteousness and justice be set in the framework of government; hence it is man's duty to obey. There are mutual obligations between the governed and those in authority. It is the function of good government to point out the right way, and the function of men. to go in God's direction. V. 2. "Whosoever, therefore, re eisteth the power, resiatsth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves." Riot leads to anarchy and anarchy is anti-God. Good government calls for Christian brotherhood; to be outside this brotherhood means moral defeat V.B. "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of same.” Paul here refers to ideal governments. Good government provides protection arid guarantees freedom of choice which is man's own'great reward. Living and dying for freedom is significant. V. 4. "For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid: for he heareth not the sword in vain: far he is a minister of God. a revenger to execute wrath upon, him that doeth. evil. Even if a pagan but administers justice, due respect belongs to him. It is ill form for a citizen to refuse loyalty to one in authority if he belongs to the opposite party. Christian loyalty calls for the prayers of all for those holding govern-

iTlic-fetO * The Dignity of Work The stability and strength of dur civilization largely depend on the willingness of men to work together. When tills willingness goes, everything goes. In thus working together two facts must be kept in mind. On the part of Industry. employers have a right to expect a certain vplume of production from the workmen. The workers have a right to insist that its members receive more than superficial competence for their work. A balance of these obiejetives must be workedout together with the spirit of brotherhood in service. Due consideration tor each other needs to prevail, ’or in the sight of God. all men are ■ailed to serxd him and hk fellow nan. The true conception is In the fact that we are laborers together vllh God and that the highest dignity is that ot being a partner with >ur Creator and all are helping to nake this a better world. AH labor is noble and holy.

ment positions. V. 5. ’"Therefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath but for conscience sake." Duty is ever regarded as a man’s part in maintaining government V. 6.7. “For this cause pay ye tribute also; for they are God’s ministers attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom honor." The offke must be honored even though the one holding that office, if an evil man, is not honored. The ballot box makes each voter responsible for the kind of men in office. Because of franchise power in the hands of citizens, necessary changes for i the better may be voted. It ik a ■, sin to be a law* dodger, for the government is" the people in which 1 self-respect Is expressed. V.B. “Owe no man anything but -ter love one nnotherr Tor be that 1 loveth another hath filled the law.” Love of parents can never be re- ' paid; the heritage of our government is too priceless to permit payment Above all the love of God is so abounding to each one that it is impossible to respond in material ways; the best one can do is to love back to all from whom love comes. V. 9,10. “For this thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not kill; Thou shall not steadl; Thou shalt not bear false witness. Thou, shalt not covet and if there be any other commandment, namely. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Loveth worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love Is the fulfilling of te law.” Right rela- ; tion to men is found In these commandments, all of which are in--1 eluded in the law of love. In love r there is the only true cooperation 1 among men. As a nation we can- ■ not attain the perfect where the ‘ law of love reign supremely, but 1 we can approach it. V 4. "For while one thus saith, ' I am of Paul and another. I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?” Marks ■ of great teachers are seen in their 1 followers. The mark of Christians is tn being Christ-centered; 1 to be otherwise-centered is carnal. Vs: 6,6. “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos? but ministers by >whom ye have believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted and Apollos has watered. “Here is the lesson of Christian cooperation. It is written that the church is the body of Christ, having different members.

loir ’ions &s | iu«> -1. Why does one grow better mentally or spiritually when associated with others? 2. How explain that government Is ordained, of God? 3. Why is a true Christian a good citizen? 4. Why should the church and the slate be separated? 5. How does the law of love make for good government? Our Preacher Says: The purpose ot one”s working determines his character. In business relations a laborer works for the owner of the business. As an individual with financial responsibility he works for himself in the sense of his wages furnishing the needing money. As a member of society he works to produce something useful to others. As a member Os God’s family on earth, herworks to render the needed Christian service to make a better - ■ » r-r-'

The rest provided by the sabbath day la conducive to renewed strength to do the work of the following six days. Rest is prescribed for many incapacitated persons whose energy is lagging, whose heart is not normal, who are suffering from different enervating ills. The mind affects the body, and a wwary mind makes a weary body. A change of thoughts, con-

In an effort to reach the multilingual people who live in the largest city in the United States, Protestant churches are conducting services in twenty three different languages for their thousands of non-English speaking members. Almost six million children were enrolled in an estimated 100,000 vacation church schools in the United States and Canada this sum> mer-half a million more than last year. It took well over 25,000 teachers to staff the school. A Negro school teacher, Verna Dozier, at Washington, D.C. was named winner of a city-wide religious drama writing contest on the theme, "The Church Ecumenical.” Her play “Gathered Together” was given its premeire in the amphitheater of the Washington Cathedral grounds. “Martin Luther” has proved such a sensationally successful film in its American and Canadian stowings that 20th Century-Fox has taken over its distribution abroad.'lt is to be shown in 5S countries and the profits which are accumlating will be distributed ( to the sponsoring Lutheran denomJ.

sMsring different subjects, furnishes the needed mental rest. In the worship of God, peace of mind la produced: faith, courage, hope, and strength are increased. Jesus said, “Come unto me and I will give you rest." Why not accept the invitation and Come To Church Next Sunday? The Rev. D. Carl Yoder

CLERICUS SAYS: “As disciples of Jesus, we need to face the Master's conviction that he have a duty to perform in expressing our Christian faith in every avenue of life. Christianity, if it is real and vital, will surely e afect politics as well as prayer; civic responsibility as well as service within the church. —
