In the Great 1 Book we read that the cardinal vir- to.es should be emphasized and prac- tt.ed: that men should be honest in tneir dealings; should not oppress) the .paar_ in‘ business relations. aAl- tr.ough the .people of Israel groaned under the galling yoke b_f the Rom- ’ ..n Empire, the Ring of Kings, the! Lord of Lords, said "Render under: Caesar the tilings that are Caesar’s i -ir-id unto God the things that are' God’s.’’ He was not defending Caes- . but He Was dealing with the con- ctrns of life far weightier than the, sway of Rome and her legions. So t ie Federal Council might address itself to the cardinal principles of !■ e and not descend to the arena ( politics. 1 A: no time did Jesu.^ preach equal-! tv of men in this world. He brought, u> the plan of salvation by which we may become sons of the Most High, thereby establishing *the basis for the idea of the brotherhood of man; ; but even here we may find light: Jesus asljed "Who is my mother? and 1 wlio arc my brethern?” “Fqi whom- m ever -hall do the will of my Fath er which is in heaven, the -same is my brother, and sister, and mother”.!
