Other members of the church and Bible School Sundsy, November 25 "The Christian Steward'' Matt. 25:14-30. The importance of stewardship is not realized and impressed upon the membership cf the church, as it should be; hence the scarcity of ma terial (money) and workers. Too many members that just "belong." but do nothing they have never been instructed and shown what God ex pects of them faithful rendering cf stewardship. The lesson shows how God h?3 endowed everyone with some gift or talent to be used, and by its proper use developed and multiplied. When each Christian dees his best, the church prospers and the kingdom cf God becomes strong in the earth. The custom in Jesus' time was to use stewards to manage family affairs in the absence of the landlord usually. tlaves were used, who were deeply attached to the family and wholly de voted to their interests they could net be taken out of the country to go with their master without their consent and were placed in charge cf the place according to their capac ity for work. Christians are slaves to Christ Christ is their Master all their lives are to be given up to ad vancing the cause of their Saviour. Christ has a right to all their service. As this war, spoken under the very thadow cf the cross on Tuesday be fore the crucifixion we may know the importance held in the mind of the d ovine Teacher. Our Lord was about to leave this world for "another country," return ing to the heaven from which he had tome. He called hi.s .servants and de livered unto them his goods. "His goods" the talents did not become theirs just because they were entrust ed to then. May wo not forget: Our talents and gilts are the property cf the Master. Wo need to reconstruct our ideas of ownership, if we would place our lives on a just foundation. "Five tal ents," r.ct a coi:, but a certain weight of gold Its purchasing power was about 550,000. To Mathew, the busi ness man, this talent would have es pecial significance. The Christian's "talents" include whatsoever God has given him whereby he may advance the work of the Lord. "My most im portant talent, I feel convinced is my knowledge cf Jesus Christ, and every one of his followers has that; and my most awful responsibility is the usa I make of that knowledge." Rev. D. Babcock. Two received two talents and the third one talent. Men were never equally talented. The thought of our stewardship of time, money, influ ence, knowledge, beauty, social graces and spiritual power should be the dominant thought of our lives. The Lord is gone, the laborers go to work. By wise and diligent use .nd invent- ment tiie taiems n.u.u... , j n nialics nrosrrecs Sunday school spoke in praise of the life of Mr. Carsten in the community and his splendid services as a friend and neighbor. GRAND PRAIRIE CLUB The Grand Prairie club met at the home of Miss Elsie Schlueter, Nov. 6, 1934, for their meeting. Most of the members were present. Our project leaders. Miss Schlue ter and Mrs .Aug. Wendt gave us some very helpful suggestions con cerning "Food Needs at Low Cost." Our next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. August Wendt. CLUB REPORTER. SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT From Wednesday's Dally Sheriff Homer Sylvester, who has been suffering from a severe cold for the past several days, was able to e around today after being con fined to his home over Tuesday. The sheriff while still suffering from the cold came to the court house to testify in the McCrary case. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. where the ether fails; one rises and the other goes down. Two have doubled their talents; the one buries his talent. Men are do ing that all the time; they will not do what they can always having ex cuses. The accounting for our talents. "After a long time the Lord return eth." Ample time is given for a har vest; many have been the failures of these laborers; but they are not dis couraged. They try again at last success crowns their efforts. With a joyful heart and a good conscience thi.' man can now face his Lord he has done his best. "It is the holy unction which gives this boldness be fore Christ at his coming. It is net merit cf the works but the righteous ness of the heart with God." (Rev. I ik. 1 . nui ion ; . The world could not go on if every man had five talents; there would be all masters and no servants. The briefest and best biography any man ever received has only two word., "Well done." It is well nigh over powering in its simplicity. The gocd servant has not reached his goal he has only come in sight of a deviner goal. Faithful over few things set over many things. That's the story. A continuation is implied advance ment progress more work. Both receive the same praise they have been equally faithful, according to their ability. Praise and reward are given for their fidelity and not for concrete results. (Witness the wid ow's mite freely given in offering). Talents that are not used! What a contrast! The one-talent man i3 not a pleasant fellow to meet; he is a fault-finder, unscrupulous, jealous, envious, lazy. Accusing his Lord of being unjust, greedy. He restores the talent but docs he? How can God's gifts be hidden tnd yet restored to him entire since the suffering of t'Acm to lie idle is, in fact, one form of wasting them? Here is the sin of emission, thst receives a punishment as revere as the sin of commission. If he could net play a lone hand, why dirin't he pool his talent with others? (If he could not be a soloist, why did he not join the chorus?) His attitude towards his Lord received a severe re buke and condemnation wicked and slothful. God will not tolerate such in! the church, has no use for them. Even the feeblest Christian can enlarge hi3 abilities. If only a little. Let him do hi3 best. That is what counts. Our churches are full of the do nothing kind, a few fill the prayer service, a few available for Sunday schocl teachers. The rest sit idly by. Everyone who diligently and faithful ly cultivates his powers, find3 them becoming ever more effective; feels himrelf continually growing richer in capacity to know, to do and to enjoy. The most premising field for culti vating stewardship is among the ynr.ig. The Sunday school and Young tecpice society anorcl a tertile ground J rcr applying stewardship principles.
