Gorbey Texr.—Let overy soul be sub- jectunto the bigher powers, — Rom. 13:1. Having concluded the doctrinal part of this Epistle, the Apostle passes, in the twelfth chapter, to certain practical considerations which are here contin. ued, From the duties we owe to God and to our fellow-men, he now turns to our obligations to civil rulers and the JUNE walls, the prevalence of the gospel would do them away. There are some com- munities in which this blessed result is already approximately reached. A point, to be specially noted, relates to what the love, which works such re- sults, is, It is not a mere emotion, ex. peading itself in sighs and good wishes but a principle of active benevolence. Sia'es, tous It not only keeps one back from injur. supporied by bolts and bars and prison | 2 Talk with the Saloon Supporter. One of the lending professors of chem- istry in a leading medieal college in this city, stated before his class in a recent lecture: “Alcohol is a poison just as much as anything else is a poison.” An- other prominent physician said to his olags lust week, ‘Lager beer contains twelve per cent. of alcohol.” THe also said, “Men drink lager for the alcohol that is in it.” You are asked now to put these three facts together and reflect a moment on what you are doing for yourself when you drink a glass of beer But whatever this beer does for you or does not do, you are requested to think a moment of what you sre doing for others eyery time you take a glass, 1. There were special ressons why this topic should be treated in this Epistle. “I'he Jews at Rome were notorious for " their turbulence.” And, since many of the Christains were be suspected of sharing in this spirit, fall it, They had great need of the exhortations The Apostle Jews, they would and indeed would easily into here addressed to them, is careful, however, to set forth princi ples suited to all circumstances and times. The things we learn from these verses are and timely. 1. (1 ‘Let every soul be subject to the higher may ourselves Our duly to obey civil law (1-5). — powers.” These “higher powers” are those in authority over us. And two : : Se main reasons are given for our subjec- | tion or obedienca to them. {a) The first reason for such obedience | is that civil government is a divine ordi- naoce (1, 2). ordained of God" of government, but lias ordained that there He ' aw government, shall be and rule. Where or how has God so In his word. Ais providence. ordained? Also in the He has declared his will that there shall be law by placing men in relation which require it, government a social compact? Nor do “governments derive their just powers from the consent of the govern. ed.” If so, parents have no right to govern children; nor the State to make laws for either children or women, or for the greater part of its voters even: since to none is it left to choose whether or not they will obey. therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God,’ ment, (6) A second reason for such obedi- ence is that civil government means of good (3, 4). The worst govern: ment is better than none. It is safer to be under a bad rule then to be the | subjects of unregulated humar passion.

Our duty to support civil law (6, 7), not very much. The sixth verse may be regarded as | this wealth requires the services of a | part of the preceding argument, or ss | an inference from the conclusion there | reached. Taking it in the latter sense, it means that, such being the origin | and design of government, we should cheerfully support God's ministers paying tribute, evade taxes and duties ig'a sin, Note the breadth of the Apostle’s in junction: “Render to all their dues’; that is, to all in authority.

The clamor for new and better law, should give way tos more earnest en | also on the lookout for suspicious per. | sons.’ deavor to enforce such as we now have. Here is the grand peed of t} « hour, 3. How to lisken the need of civil law (8-10}.—“Owe no man anything, but to love one another; for he that loveth an other hath fullilled the law.” Take care fully to discharge every obligation, save that one which eannot be dischar ged! Be content to be always under obligation to love. “For he who loveth another hath fulfilled the law." In proportion ms one is actuated by this principle, in that proportion will he do the things which law requires, and abstain from the things it prohibits, of bis own free choice. Few laws will be need to make him just to all.
