Pay the Lord His Dues

By M. J. BARTHOME; C. W. OLDS; I. SANBORN.

Notice.

THE Lord says, render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. Luke 20: 25. All our brethren have doubtless kept a part of this command, by paying Cæsar all his tax, which was no small amount with some; but how have we fulfilled our obligations to the Lord who has given us life, and health, and seasons, and crowned our labor with blessings, and given his Son to die for us that we might have forgiveness of our sins, and is preparing for us a home in his kingdom? Oh! let us bring all our tithes and not rob him by neglecting to do so. Why not be just as prompt to pay the Lord as to pay Cæsar? We hope all our brethren and churches in the Wisconsin Conference, will send all their s. B. dues to the State Treasurer immediately, as there are about five hundred dollars due the General Conference that we pledged to it at our last Conference. This should have been paid long before this, as it was pledged on s. B. dues for the year 1870. We hope all the elders and deacons will call the attention of all to this matter till it is all promptly met, and the Lord has received all his dues.

Send post-office orders or drafts on Chicago, payable to Alexander Paton, Lodi, Columbia Co., Wis.
