ONE WAY the enemies of Jesus
tried to ruin him without going
to the extreme of violence, was to
try to make him ridiculous, to
show him up as a teacher without
answers, a sage without wisdom.
So they asked him one day a ques-
tion they could not have dared to
answer them-
selves. Since Pal-
estine was an
occupied country
at the time, it
was a very hot
question indeed:
Is' it right to pay
taxes to Rome?

The hoe on the Money ! Committee meetings were held
Jesus' answer was not all Yes following the meeting,
nor all No. As he had done before, Refreshments were served by
he put the question right back to ~be host.
the questioners. First he asked to
see a denarius. The very name of
the coin was Roman; it would be
about what a workman in those
days would make in a day. Of
course the only money the Romans
would accept for taxe~ would be
Roman money. Like all hard
money, this piece had a picture on
it, and some words in Latin around
the edge of it. JESUS forced the
priests' spies to admit that the pic-
ture was of His Majesty the Em-
peror, then Tiberius Caesar; and
the Latin word~ also referred to
him. In short, the whole thing was
Roman. They would be reminded
that the Romans came to Palestine
in the first place by the Jews' re-
quest; that they had brought peace
to the torn land; that the roads and
public safety were maintained by
the Romans... all with tax money.
Some of the tax denarius would
stay right in the province. The face
on the money spoke for itself. The
Imperial Government had a right
to lay a tax. "Give to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar," Jesus said; but
added in the same breath---"and to
God what belongs to God."
Two Wodda
Ever since that moment, both
followers a~nd critics of Je~tm have
had trouble figuring out precisely
what Jesus meant. One ~g does

RUMMAGE SALE, JAN. 30
The Senior Parent Booster Club
is sponsoring a Rummage Sale,
January 30 and 31st in the room
on corner of George and Wash-
ington S~s..formerly occupied bY
Miller's Meat Market from 10 a.
m. to 9 p. m. cach day,
of those who tried I;o make him
look silly. Without saying Yes or
No to their tricky yet practical
question, he called their attention
to the fact that they owed Caesar
something, and owed God some-
thing; and perhaps hinted that they
were behind with their installments
on both accounts. However, look-
ing beneath the surface of Jesus'
brilliantly simple antareS, we can
see a truth which is just as good
for America d~s it is or was for a
province of the Roman Empire cen-
turies ago. Every man, whether he
realizes it or not, is a citizen of
two worlds. One is the human world
around him, as in America here. All
of us owe America a great deal.
We can appreciate our country
more ff we stop to think that more
people would like to move here,
than to any other country on the
globe. Our country has a right to
our loyal support.
The other world is called the
Kingdom or Realm of God. It is not
visible always ("it cometh not with
observation"), but it is far more
important, and infinitely more en-
during, than any human common-
wealth. If we owe our country
much, we owe the Kingdom of GOd
yet more.
Many Problems
It is not easy to say, indeed im-
possible, just where the kingdoms
of this earth end and the Kingdom
of Heaven begins. People speak of
the two worlds as distinct; other
people say they overlap. One thing
is sure: if they overlap, they do so
in u~ for we are citizens in both
worlds. This raises many problems,
especially where the two worlds
overlap. Suppose the State says a
thing is wrong which I knew as GOd
• ees it, is right ? Suppose the State
Commands me to do something I
am quite sure God forbids ? I know
:~ ~houJd be a good citizen; but c~n
I be a good citizen and go against
my conscience ? One thing is sure.
If I try to be a citizen of man's
world only, I shall find myself
sometimes fighting against God.
But if I take mY citizenship in
God's world only, I shall be indlf.

and man can I be a good ci~Szen

THE CHURCH FOR ALL .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neitfier democracy nor civilization
can survive There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church• They are: f I) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and nation• (4) For
the sake of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go to
chinch regularly and read your Bible daily.
Would you like to be a child forever? Would you like to go
each time it snowed without a thought of shoveling the front
checking the firewood supply?
If at first you say yes, think again. Childhood is wonderful,
there are few of us who would want to be confined to it forever.
