WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON A Splendid Lesson on Problem of Good Citizenship
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for reb. 22: Good Citiienahlp—Obeying and Enforc-tur the Law. By WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist | p i ROM theee last scenes In the Ip I life of our Lord we turn for I I one week to consider in this lesson the problem of good citizenship. At first thought one feels the Incongruity of breaking the conti"* •* of the lessons at such a crucial and sacred point. It is like suddenly thrusting some practical problem of life into a period of pray, er and devotion. • But on second thought one sees that In a sense this is Just what needs to be done. We shall never have the highest citizenship until prayer and devotion get out into daily life, and all the acts of the citizen are performed in the atmosphere of Gethsamane and Calvai-y. If we ax* to have social and political life founded upon high principles and expressing Ideal relationships among men, good citizeznship must become a matter of such sublime devotion as Jesus displayed in his passionate purpose to do the will of God. Deepest, Highest Quest We have discussed good citizeznship in too shallow ways and according to too shallow standards. Rightly understood It ls the deepest and highest of all quests. Paul uses the symbol of citizenship to express the highest privileges of the Christian life. Christians are "fellow-citizens with the saints and of the household of God.” Paul conceived the greatest task of life to be the making of the whole world the household of God, making "all men see what ls the fellowship of the mystery.” What does Paul mean when he says “the powers that, be are ordained of God 7 ” Is he asoertlng what has been called “the divine right of kings”? Some have thought so, and they have made this verse a basis for the defense of tyranny. To do that is to reduce Paul’s statement to absurdity. No power ls ordained of God except to do God's will, and when gov-

ernments and rulers Impose upon men that which they regard as against the will of God honest men can havo no conscientious course but to resist. Did not the apostles say when they were rebuked by the civil authorities, "We ough( to obey God rather than men”? Godliness and Lawlessness But the spirit of godliness and conscientiousness and the spirit of lawlessness are poles apart. Though John Bunyan languished twelve >cars in Bedford Jail and many have gone to prison for conscience’s sake, refusing to obey unjust and unholy laws, these have been far removed in character and purpose from those who for selfish and indulgent purposes have cast law and authority aside and have been disregardful of the interests of society. A good citizen in every thought and action has In view the commonweal. This may be the safe test of every action and course of conduct. Is it conducive to the best interests of society as a whole? The government Itself must represent these Interests If it is to command the loyalty of worthy men.

Here in America, of jovrse, the “government” is the people. If our government be not worthy of respect, confidence and obedience, it is our own fault, and we owe a larger measure of obedience to laws which our individual opinion may not approve than might be Justified where laws were the expression of an arbitrary ruler. Playing tl>e Gains In a democracy there must be a “playing the game.” We cannot always get Just what 3 want, but It Is our privilege to tate for good laws, and for the repeal of bad laws. Ultimately—and we should never forget It—love, alone, ls the fulfilling of the law. Merely formal observance of law will never lift a society to great heights. The laws of a nation must express the principles and demands of fair and just relationships between men, which love only can fulfill. So the highest law of citizenship is, “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof.” Good citizenship Is a spiritual callIng

Growth of Executive Work Results in Commit'ee Moving From Downtown Location to 1729 N. Illinois St. — State-Wide Service Is Rendered. Young men have been going West for years, but religious headquarters seem to be moving north in this city. Even church headquarters can grow so rapidly that a ‘downtown location is not large enough. The Baptist headquarters have been moved from the Occidental building to 1725 N. Illinois St.
Now in a house that was formerly a home, the work of the Baptist churches of the city and State is being directed. The Baptists have purchased their new temporary home. "We call it our temporary home, for It Is the thought of the executive committee that before many years we should have a Baptist building in Indianapolis of which we would all be proud.” Dr. F. A. Hayward, executive secretary of the city, states. , Scope of Work For some years this city has had a City Mission Society doing work under Baptist direction. It is claimed that splendid results have bene obtained. This resullted four years ago in bringing Dr. Hayward, formerly director of religious education in Wisconsin, coming here as executive secretary. Dr. Hayward in writing of the work states: "An organization was perfected and incorporated called the Federated Baptist Churches of Indianapolis, with thirteen departments of work. These thirteen departments of work are: Church life, religious education, young people, work among men and boys, work anfiong women and girls, flnalnce, foreign speaking, negro churches, suburban life, ministerial union, publicity, musical programs and organizations, and the athletic department for both sexes have commit tees directing their operations, and have an operative budget which, to get her with the general work and missionary church budgets, make up the general budget for work In the Indianapolis area. “The work ls directed by a board of managers elected by the coop-erating*-churches and at the annual business meeting approved by the federation. An executive board of nine memberß*Tneets each month for business and directs the work in the interim between the quarterly meetings of the board of managers.” Splendid Staff The years have witnessed the building up of a large and splendid organization to serve all Baptists of the State. You will find the following at the Baptist headquarters: Carlos M. Dinsmore, general superintendent. T. J. Parsons, editor of the Baptist Observer. * O. R. McKay, director of religious education.
S. G. Huntington, extension s:retary. Mrs. Ella M. Randolph, literature secretary.
