THE UNJUST 8TEWARD.
L.E88ON TEXT-I.tilte 16:1-13.
, GOLDEN TEXT-"He thnt Is faithful
fin n very little Is faithful also In much:
land ho that Is unrighteous In a very little
lie unrighteous also In much." Luke 16:10.
Again in ono chapter (and nor
only) wo havo before us two of the
.Master's more famous parables, the
unjust steward and the rich man and
.Lazarus. Both aro parables of warn
ing against tho common sins of hypoc
risy and gluttony. Luko links this
touching with the events in connec
tion with our Lord's teaching about
the lost things. There is clearly a
close connection. The parable of the
ilost things was spoken directly to tho
iFharlsees and scribes, that now be
fore us to tho disciples The fail
iUro of the Pharisees as stewards of
the things of God, the divine law,
"calls from Jesus, for those gathered
as his disciples, teaching that will
jreparo them to fulfill 'perfectly the
stewardship responsibilities. The story
Is both positive and negative, is
direct against covetousness, and its
main purpose to us is how to uso
money, while we have it, so that it
may bring us a recompense in the
eternal world when it is gone (v. 9).
Immoral Acta Not Approved.
I. The Unrighteous Steward, vv. 1-3.
Our Lord does not, of course, intend
that this steward Is to be our pattern
In every respect. He Is taking a
"son of tho world" (v. 8 R. V.) and
showing ub that, In the use of money
entrusted to his care, bo is making
provision for the future. He is pre
paring himself against the time when
bis stewardship is taken from him.
How much more shall a "son of the
light" be shrewd, so to use tho money
entrusted to his stewardship, that
when It is taken from him, he has
provided for the future. The record
does not imply that Jesus approved of
the man's immoral actions. Ho is us
ing the example of an unrighteous
steward as a contrast to show how
much more Is to be expected from God
or godly men, Luke 18:6, 7; 11:5-8;
Matt. 12:11, 12. Recognizing these
facts, the story Is perfectly simple and
straightforward. The dishonest "son
of his age" has a wrong method,
though his motive from this point of
view is a wise and prudent one, clever
In our modern use of that word. This
does not condone his fraud, nor does
our Lord commend him. The contrast
Is established in the parable between
men wholly of their age, and men,
professedly, at least, sons of light. In
their dealings with eternal things they
bad not shown the same astuteness
as the former. Luke 15 deals with the
heartless contempt of the Pharisees
for thoso who are lost, whllo the
parables of this chapter deal with
stewardship faithfulness (I Cor. 5:2).
On Higher Level.
II. The Use of Money, vs. 9-13. The
value of this parable is In the actual
teaching of Jesus which follows the
parable. That is introductory, empha
N sizing the need for wisdom on tho
part of all 'Stewards. After that wo
are on a higher level and in a clear
er atmosphere. Unrighteous mam
mon means money, and to make
friends "by means of the mammon of
unrighteousness" (R. V.) Is so to
uso our money for tho godly poor as
to win their love and that they may
receive us into tho eternal tabernacles
to which they shall go, see Matt. 19:
21; 25:33-40; 6:19; I Tim. 6:17-19;
Prov. J9:17. As has been said, Jesus
does not commend this steward for his
wrong use of bis master's money, but
the steward of God has tho right to
bestow bis Master's goods upon the
needy, as that is the very reason they
havo been bestowed upon him en
trusted to bis care. Matt. 24:45; I
Pet. 4:10. Our entrance Into the king
dom will bo more abundant because of
our liberality with God's money, Matt
79:21. This does not preclude faith,
; ut ratber, real faith worketh by love.
Gal. 5:6. James 2:18 (R. V.). If
we are faithful with that entrusted to
our stewardship, God will entrust us
with "tho true riches." Our earthly
riches belong to another (v. 12 R. V.),
and we cannot serve "two masters."
This story moves within the realm of
material wealth, e. g., of mammon. It
Illustrates tho higher wisdom of how
mammon Is to bo used by the stew
ards of the kingdom of God. Versos
15 and 16 of this chapter reveal to us
our Lord's reason for such an illustra
tion. It waB directed against tho cov
etous and false stewards, tho Phari
sees, wbo "scoffed at him because thoy
were lovers of moneyl" Wo are to
uso money so as to make friends, not
friends for this present life, but for
that life which lies beyond tho grave.
Stewardship principles aro always
tho same, no matter what the amount,
"bo that 1b unrighteous in a very Httlo
Is unrighteous nlso In much." This
argument is followed by two ques
tions Tho answer to tho first Is that
no one ever commits the stewardship
of spiritual things to those who are
unfalthfu.1 in material things A mnn
Allows by his faithfulness In material
things whether ho 1b to bo entrusted
with spiritual stewardship. The boo
ond question io answered in that men
' do not give that which Is their own to
thoso wbo have not been faithful as
trustees.

Longitudinal 8ectlon of Combined Ice House and Dairy.
"Whero nn abundant supply of nat
ural ice can be harvested annually It
will be a simple matter to maintain
high-class refrigoration by 'Installing
a brine circulating system. The prin
ciple on which this patented system
works Is tho samo as mechanical re
frigeration, except that tho cold Is se
cured through a freezing mixture of
Ice and salt In n tank In which tho
primary colls are located. As tho
brine In these colls becomes chilled
It passes out through tho bottom of
the colls and slowly flows through tho
colls, which are located In tho cooling
room. The heat of this room is ab
sorbed by these chilled pipes and as.
tho brine warms up It passes out and
up into the primary colls, and in this
way a continuous circulation Is main
tained between the two pipe systems,"
says the department of agriculture.
"For convenience the Ice house can
be made a part of tbe structure, so
that the Ice can be elevated above the
storage chamber ar.d directly Into the
crusher, which can be located In the
attic above the pilmary colls. The
space above tho cooling room might
be utilized as a farm shop or for a
cooperage If one were to be installed
in connection with an apple orchard.
It would not be advisable to attempt
to Install thlB system without having
an experienced engineer calculate the
piping necessary for any given stor
age room as well as tbe cooling tank.
The question of Insulation is also a
very Important one and should be-
carefully specified.
"This construction Is adapted to
small or to very extensive plants. The
department of agriculture uses this
system in a plant which has been in
stalled at tbe Arlington experimental
farm. The cooling room is 28 by 30
feet with 8-foot celling. Sufficient
space Is thereby provided to store 800
barrels of apples.
Combined Ice House and Dairy.
"Even where for convenience and
economy it is desirable to have tho
dairy under the same roof as the lefl
house, it Is not satisfactory to attempt
em lotto-
r i "i "i'iti

to combine the lee storage with a cold
store. When it Is necessary to use
ice for chilling milk or other dairy
products it is better to remove the
Ice from the Ice house or compart
ment and place it In a specially con
structed Ice box or refrigerator ratber
than to attempt to maintain a cold
room by storing tbo ice about and in
contact with.
"Tho chief argument against the
combined arrangement is that It pre
vents the storage of Ice In a solid
mass. As a result the waste is much
greater. Again, tho requirements of
the storage room and the refrigerator
vary from time to time. Advantago
can be taken of these fluctuations to
husband the Ice supply when tbe two
are separate. There are decided ad
vantages In having the ice supply con
venient to the dairy house or refrig
erator, but it Is poor economy to build
tbo refrigerator or cold store Insldo
tbo ice storage. '
enetlts to le Derived From an Effi
cient Ice House on the Farm.
"An ample supply of Ice Is of great
er economic Importance In the coun
try home than in the city residence.
City people can purchaso perlshablo
supplies as needed, but the remote--ness
of country hdmes from markets
often renders It necessary to use
canned, corned, or smoked meat pro
ducts during the season of tho year
when tho table should be supplied
with fresh meats.
"Not only Is Ico appreciated because
of its use In tho preservation of fresh
meats, butter, and other table sup
plies, but the production of hlgh-grndo
domestic dairy products is almost Im
possible without it. Many markets to
which milk is now shipped demand
that It be cooled before shipment to n
degree not attainable without the use

of ice. Ice is one of those luxuries
which in mnny sections of the coun
try can be had for the gathorlng. Tho
cost of harvesting and storing it Is
not great ns compared with the com
fort that It brings.
The Source of the Ice Supply.
"Tho sourco of tho Ice supply will
vary with local conditions. In many
sections lakes, rivers, or large Btreams
will afford a supply of suitable ico
without special plan or preparation on
the part of mnn. In other Instances,
where such natural sources are not
easily accessible, small streams or
even the water from a spring can be
stored in an excavation or by means
of a dam, so as to afford sufficient
water surface to provide the desired
Ico supply. The harvest area or sur
face will depend upon the tonnage to
be stored and the normal thickness of,
the Ice In tbe locality.
"The stream or pond from which
the supply of ice Is taken should be
fed from a source free from contain-,
(nation or pollution.
The Principles of Ice Storage.
"In order to keep so perishable a
commodity as Ice It Is necessary In
the construction of a storage structure
to consider carefully those physical
and mechanical principles which un
derlie its pteservatlon. First, to keep
well, ice must have a minimum of
surface exposed to the air or to the
packing material. This is most eas
ily accomplished by piling tho Ice In
tho form of a cube. A mass of Ice 12
by 12 feet exposes less surface than
the same tonnage plied in any form
less nearly that of a cube or of a
globe. Second, the keeping of good
Ice depends upon the completeness of
Its Insulation, whereby it Is protected
from external influences, such as heat
nnd air. Third, drainage 1b important
because the lack of It Interferes with
the insulation. Fourth, tbe Ice itself
must be packed so as to prevent as
completely as possible the circulation
of air through the maBs. The more
nearly the mass of Ice approaches
that of solid cube, both in shape and
iStorage ffosm-

f
texture, tbo easier, with good drain
age and Insulation, will be tbe keeping
problem. Tbe keeping of Ice, then, de
pends unon the shane of thn mass.
Its insulation, its drainage, and lti
solidfdtty.
Combination of Natural and Artificial
Meant of Obtaining Ice.
"Tho home ice supply Is sometlmei
obtained by using a combination ol
natural and artificial means. Where
an elevated water tank Is at one's
command, a line of pipe can be car
ried to perforated pipes placed on the
celling of the ice house ancT during
freezing weather tbo pressure from
tbe tank can be used to carry water
through the perforated pipes to be
sprayed into tbo storage chamber as
long as freezing continues, By careful
use of this plan on cold nights and
during freezing days a supply of ice
can be built up in place. Tbo protec
tion of such a supply Is the same as
that of Ice cut and stored In tho usual
manner.
Masonry Ice Houses.
"Instead of the cheap, temporary
construction, ice houses of a perma
nent nature can be built from brick,
Btonc, or concrete. In these, as in
frame-constructed houses, the mass of
Ice should approach as closely as pos
sible a cube in form. It the masonry
house Is to bo used in the same man
ner as tbe temporary house no inside
lining will bo necessary."
