Gilroy, D.D., Editor of The Congregationalist. No subject is of more importance in America at the present hour than that of the relation between law end geod conduct; In this country we have established in a general way separation between Church and State. It does not mean, however, the en- tire separation between state and religion. Not only are politics and religion inseparable in the life of the individual, but in the very foundation of our national life some link between religion and the state The oins of the realm bear the inmscrip- tion, "In God We Trust," and it is the custom to open- both Houses of Congress by prayer. The President of the United States at his inaugura- tion takes an oath of office with his finger resting upon a passage of Scripture. There can be little soutid political or social life where there 3 T Doctor Your pg Colds Safely THE ANALGIC RUB FOR CONGESTION 28¢. and B50c.

Few passages have been more used in relation to the problem of religion and politics, and few have been more seriously abused, than this passage in which Jesus enjoins the render- ing unto Caedar the things that are Caesar's and. unto God the things that are God's, A fundamentally wrong interpre- tation of the whole passage is fre- quently evident in its use. It ds eon- stantly quoted to suggest that the spheres of religion and politics, of church and state, are entirely sep- arate, and have no conneétion. Con- sideration of the whole conception that Jesus had of life and of the cir- cumstances under which these words were used would show how utterly unjustified is any such interpreta- tion. Jesus was speaking to Pharisees who were not anxious for the truth but who were seeking, as the lesson says, "to ensnare Him in His talk." It is more than-probable that they were themselves disloyal to Caesar, for the Pharisees, for the most part, represented the ultra-patriotic party, resentful of foreign domination .and anxious to shake off the Roman yoke. Jesus evidently had this fn mind when He said, "Why make ye trial of Me, ye hypocrites 7?" He asked for a piece of money and inquired whose image and super- scription were upon it. When His enemies replied Caesar's, Jesus very { naturally used these words, '"Ren- der, therefore, unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." What Was Meant, This surely does not mean that certain things were Caesar's and that certain things were God's.

Does Jesus imply them that the | citizen has no obligation to the state, that there are certain things i that do not belong to Caesar ? By no means. He suggests that there {are obligations that are binding far as they go. But when Caesar {and God are in conflict there can be no other attitude for the Christian than the attitude of the early dis- ciples when they were forbidden to preach the Gospel, "We ought to {obey God rather than men." We should not hesitate to apply {this to the vexed question of law en- forcement, and specifically of the prohibition movement {in America to-day. The man who is willing and disposed to break any law of the land should consider very carefully what would happen if others chose to disregard the laws. in which he be- lieves. ernest OBITUARY | Mrs. Mary Jane Mundell, On Wednesday, Feb, 24, death visited the home of Mrs. A.

The Ontario Church Property Commission, which was appointed by the Ontario Government for the pur- pose of dealing with matters of dis- agreement over Presbyterian church property as a result of the Church Union vote, will hold a session at Belleville on Friday, There are three disputes in the Kingston district, which will come before the commission: The churches which are affected are at Amherst Is- land, Ernesttown and Camden Edst. These three churches voted against | entering the United Church of Cany- ada. The sessions of the charges are asking the commission to declare that the property passes into the hands of the Coutinying Presbyter- ian Church. In all three cases, the churches were co-operating charges. For years the Methodists and the Pres- byterians had held separate services, but some years ago an agreement was made by which the two congrega- tions worshipped in the same church. At Amherst Island, it was arrang- ed that the morning service be held in the Presbyterian church, which is a short distance out of Stella, and in the evening the worship took place in the Methodist church, which is sit- uated on the main street of the vil- lage. Since the vote was taken and the Presbyterians decided to with- draw, the Unionist members of the former Presbyterian congregation joined up with the Methodists, who also favored union and have been holding services in the Methodist church. The Unionists are support- ing a minister. The Continuing Presbyterians also hold service each Sunday. Rev. James Cumberland, of | i Kingston, was for over forty years minister in the Presbyterian church. The church at Ernesttown was formerly a Lutheran Church, but many years ago it was arranged be- dists® that it be a union charge and was known as the "Union church." During the co-operation, the Metho- | dist minister stationed at Bath, ducted the services, It is understood that the Continu- ing Presbyterians will contend before the commission, that: although a scheme of co-operation was accept- able to both church bodies, the agree- ment distinctly stated that the Pres- byterian church property still re- mained under the control of the ses- sion of the Presbyterian church, and there was a separate roll. The Unionists state that the votes at Ernesttown and'Camden East were irregular. . Mississippl Personals. Mississippi, Feb. 23. James Province from out West visited with his cousin, John Fair.
