H SiM m on 1 ,i" '
vinjr, rcctor of Christ Clr.i/cii, Clinton
fetreet, Brooklyn, pre-ielied tiiere
f morning in St. Andrew's y)une Church.
JH His subject \vns "Our Debt to Caesar and
I Our Debt to (Jod." His text was chosen
^^^^roni St. Matthew xxii:21: "lJemJor tin ! /-.
unto Caesar the,> tilings which are
; and unto CJWd the tilings which
arc God's." Dr~. Kirisolving said:
Were ever words more palpably just and
, fair? Could any statement he more calmly
J I self-evidenoing? Could any disentanglef
1 rnent of tlie provinces of God and Caesar
H I he more distinct, or any declaration of our
1 A respective <luty he more lucid? M"n have
always hcen confusing these two 11?i11?s ?m
their debt to Caesar and their debt to God
--mixing up in some clumsy fashion the <in<;
(W with the other, fancying that when they
have discharged one they have <lone the
other also, finding the one to conflict with
the other through some misunderstanding
of the dignity and weight of the respectiv
obligations.
And not only in private life, but in tli^
history of peoples and States what cnii'iision,
what blundering has there lieen'
Look how the cruel Roman empire tried
throua' years to crush out the life of tin?
fl t'hrisf an martyrs for simply doing their
dutj( io God, and tin n in turn, when the
H empire had he ii conquered hv .he ehuicli
^8 and the papacy was seated upon its throne
and had Greeted its palatial Vatican amid
H the ruins of the old order, see how the
haughty earthly embodiment oi tlie heavenly
autocracy sought to brim: low and
make subservient the things of Caesar!
You are familiar, doubtless, with the way
the saying was brought ahout. A party <>i
vr vouug Pharisics?I he ohl hacks ii id recently
retired in confusion- had joined with
some Herod inns or Jewish nationalists to
put to Jcsiis a catch <|iiestion to ensnare
"Him. '"Master," said tlie.v with feigned
earnestness, "\Ve know that Thou art true,
and teachcst the way of (Sod in truth,
neither earest Thou for any man, for Thou
reganlest not the person of men. Tell lis,
therefore: What thickest Thou? Is is
lawful to pay this distasteful Roman poll
tax or no?" |
If lie had answered Ves" Tie would
have been at once disercd'.tcd as tiie I
sinh ? King of Israel. If "n>>" it would
have been treason and rebellion against
Rome. So instead of falling into the trap
sot for 11 i i)i, with a complete, a divine
grasp of the whole situation, lie declares :i
principle which is the kev to this wnole
.......:i.. 1:r i
vwin|riv.Mi\ 111 iiu: wiifi'i'vcr 11 may posstti.y
occur. "\Vliy tcmpst Me, yc hypocrites.'

is this stamped on your current coin?
Caesar's. Very well, 'l'lien what i-t < "aefair's
jjivc hack to C'ac.?ar, aiul what is
God's to God.''
The impression it produced at the mo |Kenr
was profound. "When ih<*y had
HUthesc words tlicy marveled and '< !
I went their way." lie ha I lilted

of the pressure upon tlu-ir lives of
the world of Caisar, because ol the strong
currents that sweep them alortv', soul ami

Von know how it is without my attempting
to describe it in detail. Industry, with
its iron necessities, grips a man; he fliiifrs
bin. self with good American pluck and pur
pose into the tiling before liini, ami u?
and l>y tlie very headway of sucee-s, tlie
very stress of com if, ,1 ion, is found to he
using up all his strength. .Soon his prayers
j;et thinner ami poorer; he li;ts scarce time
for them and ueis less and icss need for
Ihem. When his >l.-y. ..on liichUs at i he

still with the waning nerve power ta'lc
over the course of the market?or e!>e he
goes out of town to gel the relaxa'ion

intentions and good-huriiotTd apologies. 15,v
and by even these are omitted, and tic anil
his friends ben in to j-.tstify tlie dereliction
to (!od on the fiii i' oi the increasing
claims of Caesar. This laxity on the part,
ot men and women ( day i.i giving l>acl{
to Cod the thinv's tiiat arc CI <?i i" c is simply
rupalling in view of Cod's unrivalled gifts
and blessings to us. It it he true that "to
whom much is given of him shall much be
required." and that judgment will i ver liegin
at the hoi:-" oi o>d with the privileged.

"Ve cannot serve <;.h1 and mammon.''
Christ .It- us does not olodv I he way of
our paying our just debt to (Vtesar, hut
lie does warn lis with the utmost plainness
not to give Caesar everything.
If we allow "the huvre mundane machine"
to run over our sou.s, iiko some ear of
Juggernaut, crushing out our religious freedom
ami initiative, we shall be horr.biy
flattened in our manhoo l, our .sympathies,
our ideals, our eonecjitions oi life. I lie
results may not appear tullv for a while,
but in the end there will 1>.? experienced
an imp iverishment. an atr. phy, a sinister,
maime<l and crippled gi>Alh which will
make us unfit tor our citizenship in the

was in awful blunder. No great'-i could he

As they rejected Him. so (Jud rejected
them. As a punishment He gave
thcin over to moral corruption, to an
abandoned nnml. to a festering decadence.
"And min <i ?<Ie?l around and strove
