Prompted by such a broad demand for any and all coin, particularly of the smaller denominations, it became established pro­ cedure to take the wide­ ly used Spanish milled doll­ ar and cut it evenly into eight pieces just as you would divide a pie. Such pieces were called "bits". The Spanish milled dollar was made of extremely soft silver and cutting was eas­ ily accomplished. These "bits" were then eagerly* used as small change in commercial transactions. . .one "bit" equaled twel­ ve and one half cents and naturally "two bits" eq­ ualed twenty-five cents. As this one quarter of the Sp­ anish dollar was every bit as well accepted as was the United States quarter dollar, the correlation was complete. So many of th­ ese pieces of cut silver circulated for so long a time, even after they fin­ ally did disappear, the name "two bits" clung to the United States quarter- dollar . . . a nickname, that is still with us today.

What is your opinion? A government that does not have an established code of law and order cannot exist very long, and a government whose citizens refuse to sub­ mit to that authority will collapse in chaos. The Bible describes the church as the Kingdom of God, and pro­ vides certain responsibilities and obligations for the citi­ zens of that Kingdom. It is true that there are many authorities offered , by people in the name of Chris­ tianity: the Pope, for the Catholic Church; various church creeds which have been written by men over the centuries; and tradition, which becomes equally bind­ ing on the church. The found­ ing fathers of many sects set down certain principles, ideals, and doctrines that for many are authoritative. Hu­ man reason is the authority which prevails in many churches. Conscience is an­ other guide for other denomi­ nations. Yet none of these will give us the guidance, strength, and assistance we need. Only the Bible provides for us the final authority in every area of our work, wor­ ship, and organization. We should study the Bible as carefully as possible, and obey it as the final authority in spiritual matters. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your ques­ tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30306.
