PRESS COMMENTS. Canada‘s Navy. Cordial Relations V. 12. The conduct or "conversaâ€" tion" of Christians is to be honorable ‘and above reproach, for their Gentile ‘or heathen neighbors are watching |\them. The current opinion among the Gentiles is that Christians are "evilâ€"doers" or inciters to mischief. | Their private gatherings are regarded ‘with undisguised suspicion. _ Thus Tacitus, the Roman historian, accuses the Christians of "hatred of the huâ€" . man race." The followors of Jesus must disprove these iniquitous accuâ€" sations by showing a high example of "good works." Only thus will their heathen neighbors be convinced of the sincerity of thoir profession. The Epistle here seems to quote the words of Jesus in Matt. 5:16. 3 June 19. Peter Teaches Good Citizenâ€" ship, 1 Peter 2: i1â€"17; 4: 1â€"5. Goiden Textâ€"iLove worketh n» ill to his nsighbor.â€"Fom. 13: 10. IntrRropucrionâ€"It was particu!arly: important that the early ‘Christians ; should set their heathen neighbors a good cxam‘fe of highâ€"minded and unselfish public service, as well as of personal and individual probity. The reasons were as obvious as they woere manifold. â€"In the first place, the folâ€" i lowers of Jesus were exposed to conâ€"‘ stant criticism on the part of their, heathen neighbors. â€" Their conduct was watched, and it was dosirable that nothing in their behavior as members of the communit{ should | iend color to the accusation that they were disloyal or different to the comâ€" mon good. This was all the more necâ€"| essary since Christians believed in | their hearts that their true citizenâ€"; ship was in heaven, from which they expecied the coming of Christ, their‘ true king. It had to be clearly shown : that this belisf in the kingdom of| heaven did not mean any disregard of ; the obligations of ordinary citizen-i ship in the presert world. in the| second place, it was important that | the Christian ideal of life should be | maintained in its full breadth,. Chrisâ€"| tianity has a social as well as a perâ€"| sonal function. It requires us rot | onlf' to love God with all our heart | and soul and strongth, but to love | our neighbor as ourselves. This of| itself implies the highest standard of cibizenship. _ __ h k« ANALY31S. I. T4E CONSECRATION OPF LIFT, PUSLIC As WELL AS PRIVATE, 2:11â€"17. TL THE iMITATION oPf CHRIST, 4:1â€"5.. Vs, 18, 14. Consequently the apostle urges his readers for Jesus‘ sake to show a proper and becoming respect for law and iovetnment. whether emâ€" bodied directly in tho person of the emperor, or indirectly in the proâ€" consuls who govern the various proâ€" vinces.

If any body of people can call themselves "free men," it is the followers of Jesus, who have been redeemed and set free from all other laws and obligations that they may give themselves wholly to Christ. But this freedom must not be understood as liberty to do what we please. It must n*et be taken to excuse a churlish refusal of public and social duties. "Honor all men," says the apostle.

THE CONSECRATION OF LIFE, PUBLIC AS WELL AS PRIVATE, 2:11â€"17. V. 11. Christians are "strangers and pilgrims" on earth. They know that they are here only for a season, and that the kingdom of God, for which they look, takes precedemcoa of the kingdoms of the world. But just for this reason they must live exemâ€" plary and noble lives, guarding against "fleshly lusts," that is, against the temptations to a sensual or selfish life, for the sensual life is opposed to, and destructive of the life of the spirit. o+ 3 F In the epistles of St. Paul, thereâ€" fore, we find that a high ideal of good citizenship is insisted upon, and the same thing holds true of the First Epistle of Peter.
