"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.

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.
