J. S. I. Wilson in the Methodist cburob, Fleshortou. Sunday ,Au,!. 2.1, 1U02. Never was a more sixbtlo snare laid for any man tlian the phnrisces and Herodi- ans deviso for the overthrow of Jesus Christ. Politically and religiously they were opposed to each other. The pliari- seoB resented the aggression of the Roman govi'rameiit as subversive of the principles of the great theocraC)r, while the Herodi- aiis were the unwavering elminpions of the Csesarean dynasty. But while divided in their general creed they look upon the Messiah as their common foe, and put their hypocritsical heads together to plot for hia destruction ; and so they come to him with a question, which bidsj fair to impale the object of their hate on one of the horns of a fatal dilemma. " Is it lawful to give tribute to Caasar or no ? " they ask. If he wiys " Yes," the ph.iri- sees will arraign him on a cliart^e of dis- loyalty to the fatherland. If lie says " No," he will' raise the populace to a fri'nzy of delitjht, but the Herodians will hale biin to a Roman jirison. If ho de- clines to answer, he will nocosparily relin- quish his claim as a moral and religious te.acher. They are confident that they have him surrounded by a cordon com- plete andirrefiagiblo, and like the hounds that have the stag ut bay, thoy wait the opportune moment when they may pluugo their fangs in his heart'.s blo'id. But never was a home thrust more adroitly parried. Quietly asking for a penny, he retorts with another question; "Whose image and inscrtiption is this?" They say unto him, " Ctesars." It is Roman money. CV'sar's coin i<i in their pockets. They trade with it. Thoy grow rich on the tralHc thi-y promote with its circulation. They thus tacitly .acknowl- edge the lawful claims of Caisar upon them. The conclusion is inevitable : "Render unto CiB.sar the thinijs which are CiBsar's, and unto God the things that are God's. If Ctesar has claims ujioii you, fulfil your oblii;ation lie true to Ciesar and be true to God. Thuir implied ques- tion was this : "How can we tie true to God and pay tribute to Cajaar ?" The answer is, "The two allegiances are inseparably bound together. You cannot violate one without doing viuleiicc to both." Christ apparen'ly unintentionally, and .IS if by the merest accident, ijivoi utterance to a tremondnus truth â€" the true citizen of the kingd'iin of Gou will be a true citizen of his country. My ihoiuo to-night is the use and abuse of party politicsâ€" our responsibility as citi zons â€" the call for chi'ialian niL-n in the political aroii I. Let nie tii.st of uU lay down a few of the piiiici[iU'8 that underliu all true government : First â€" The stiite is a divine and ncoes- sary institution. There are throe institu- tions known to man which are divine in origin, the f.imily, the chuich and the state. Each aims, or ought to aim, to realize the ideals of the kingdvmi of (jod, to cranslate them into human lives, and fultil them in human relai ions. Tliere are some who deny that the church is a divme iiistiiutiun. No less an aiithurily than that great Russian count,Leo Tolstoi, affirms that the state is an unviecesaary evil. Others cluiai that it is a necoasary evil, that it is neeessury in an evolving and imperfect society, but that, it being evil, must soon or late disappear. Over against these views I think 1 need ouly quote the noble words of Burke, in his Ilcflectioiis on the French Revolutionâ€" "VVilhout civil SD'jiety man cituld not by any possibility ariivo at the peificiiou ol which his nature ia capahlti,nor even make a roiiioto or faint approach to it. . . lie who gave our nature to bo perfected by our virtue, willed also the neoes.saiy moans to its perfection. He willeil therefore the state â€" he willed its connec tion with the source and original urche- typo of all perfection." Men ar-' not equal in endowment, talent and power. For a long time to come the strong will bo under obligation to bear the inlirmities of the Weak. The state is the medium through which the power of (me becomes the good of all. Individual effort may d^ muuli for the impioviment of other indi- viduals; but individual effort, to be highly BucceEaful, must be supimrted by the social order, it inut work through thu social order The state is the only mgan or medium through which men can uk.s-., effectually co-uparate in the attainment of social perfection. Anything thivefore that approaches anarchy or vadica! social- ism IS vicious and dangerous in oxtrenia. Again â€" Ail power coinoa from God. " There is no power but of (bd; the powers that bo are ordained of Ood. Whosoever, thorefore,resi8'eth the power, resisteth the oidmaiice of God." When Joaus was ou trial, I'ihite became iiriiatiil at the refusal of .lesus to answer his (piestion of curiosity, and said, "iSpokosl th'ip nit unto nu! V Kiiowest thou not thit 1 have power In crucify thou ami have power to release thee ?" Thw Runiaii Kovenuir spoke of this power as Ki.motliing he migiit use as ciipriee might diotaio. The amwer i^f .le. us wa,i moat 8i»;iiitiiaiit, aiid was one of the mofit suggeitive woid» he ever spoke : • ' Thou eouldoat have no power at all nuainst inc, exuept ir, «t.rii given ih'.Mj from above." The wouls nnply that Pilutu's power, «h;ch he le- gard d as arbitrary and irresponsible, power which he was about to mi.tuse to llagiantly, bad i.s source in th'vt inj.rn. i lus unacen world wlience the (Son of man had come. IMato inii'lit h») h bad man, Imt I bo power he excrjiz.-d was i ilerived from Ood. He was U id'a nepii'y. j Is il, then, any hiiig ahon of sacnl.ge to 1 :.;»<> a bid niii'i the vx "roise of such forms of govorument in the world. In Canada the citizen ia supreme. Louis XIV. fa d, "I am the state." Whatthafc great monarch said in his pride evurv cit zuii of our fair la.id may say in \\\a humility. Lord Brougham once .s.iicl, "III England the queen is in place, the House of Commons is in po,ver,." J'he authority is vested in the people. Kiii<^ Kdward sits on n throue, wears a crown and is enthroned in the rilfections of tnillions of loyal subjects, but he does not rule, he never will rula one hour The people rule. The will of the people is supreme. But with power comes respon- sibility. If there are bad men in office, if there are flagrant iniquities that ouaht to be abolished, if things are not as thev ought to be, there i.-i a remedy. There is a weapon mightier than clashing steel and roarins; aitillery. It is that silent yet colossal weapon called tiio ballotâ€" " a weapon firmer set And better tbau the bayonet, A weapon that comes down as still AsBuowllakes tail upon the sod; Yet executes a trecman's will As lightuiuB does the will of Ood." The responsibility that rests on every man who is possessed of the exercise of the franchise is uuevadable. Now, christian citizeiiship, or the new citizenship as it is sometimes called, maintains the supreme right of Jesus Christ to rule municipal,stateand national life. Those should be goveruod on prin oiples laid down by liiin. Upon the application of these principles depends the liiial solution of every present day problem. It believes our government to be appointetl by God and therefore sacred â€" too facred to be left in tho hands of corrupt men, whatever the pitrty name. It believes that the dangeia which threaten our cidiutry arise less from tho strength and activity of bad men than fron the Hpaihy aivd cowardice ut good men. It believes that christian men are called upon to iiut their loyalty to Jesus Christ into their polities and to vote as he would have them vote. It believes thai the ofVice of a JHwniakor or iidministrator is so sacred, tliiifc to put a bad man into it is sacrilege. The time has p.is8ed when a inau can bo a good cinistian and x i,ad citizen. The true citizen must be imbued with patriotism. W''e have a cimiitry of which we may well bo proud, "full- of nimble littlo riv'.Ts which gladly turn the turbines of mills bel'oro tliey run weary to the sea, and of majestic lakes that float the com- merce of nations. Its soil so fertile that, as Douglas Jeriold said of Australia, ' yuu have but to tickle it witli a hoe and it laughs wi'h a harvest,' its bowels rich in every conceivable kind of mineral wealth, awaiting but tho ' open .w.saine ' to disclose boundless riches beyiiid the Arabian Night.s ' " Its wide aroa uniliod by lail- ruadsaiid telegraph win^a which annihilate distance and nialie lialu'ax and YanC'iu- vor ne.\t door ntiglibors. Best of all it is a land in whioh relinion, eUucation and philanthropy are deeply rooted and nour- ishing. " Such a country ! Such an aren;i ! Shall not its citizens be as pure as the bi'iiozos, as lofty as tho mountains, and as tinu for righteousness as tho granite which underlies this continent ?" Tho true patriot ia not the one who s.-iys, "My country is a',1 right, my country is without a flaw," but who truly esti- mates her imperfections and sets about righting them ; who measures the strength of the enemies that threaten her great- nea.s, and plots for their overthrow, He ia r.ot a friend of his country who winks at the evil that is in it. This sentiment has been well expressed by Saiiiutl Washburn, Jr. : .My country right or wrousâ€" tf 1 ight keep her so, l( wrong, risht her. llrotheiB Htroi.y in faith That the rlKht will ooiue right. Never tremble at death ; Nevortliinkoftbyaolf 'uiid tho roar oftUoBght. Hark to the battle cry SounUiuK from yondor sky. Grasp the sword of the Lord .-vnii lurwaul I " Thtn wo want an intelligent patriotism. DeTocquevilio said in his nmrvelloua treatise on " Democracy m America, " "The ballot box and the jury box are the normal school of America. Democi«6y is the best form of governmoiit in the vvorld, but il is fraught with its dangers. Too many pe<ipie are actuated in the exeicise of their franchise by heredity and aeniimeiit. How many young men are voting Conservative or Reform who know no other reason for doing so than th.it their faibois and grandfathers voted tha'iwayV The man who has not taken tho trouble to become vemed in the great iiuisiions of the day, and who is influ- enced .Siilely by sontiim-nt or heredity, is coitnnly nil qualihed to share in the Rovernmeut of hia ouiintry. Aiioilierdan).er lieain tho laineiitable fact that scmo men are on the marketâ€" they are for sale to the highest bidder. There are tho nun who will debaioh their franchise and degrade their ni-mhoixl for a glass of » hirtkoy.
