UNJUST STEWARD" WAS
SUBJECT OF fine SERMON

Rev. Geo. A. Guice gave another
earnest appeal last night to the con
gregation at the Methodist church on
Main street. He preached on the I'm
just Steward" and from the last
clause of the I'd verse of 10th chap
ter of Luke, "Give an account of thy
stewardship for thou shall no longer
be steward" He explained that the
difference between a servant and a
steward IS that the servant does a
given work for a given wage. A stew
ard is one to whom is committed the
care of money and property, and to
whom is accorded the duty of not only
accounting for all he received but as
well for the increase. God does not
want men to work for Him for the
hope of gain. He wants us to be so in
love with Him and His cause that we
will find joy in service. We have M
right to use anything except with rel.
erence to the interest of Him to whom
it belongs ALI we poor belong to God
Our use of it should be with reference
to Him.
Many men expect to get to heaven
because they are honest. One may rs
honest with his fellows from a purely
selfish motive. To be strictly honest

from God. Man can't boast of honesty
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-06-19

until he is honest with God. The par
able was to show the contrast between
the world and the church. Men active
in church work are often very unbusi-
ness like ntheir methods while they
may be very diligent in their ox 81
ness. Disciples of the Nazarene should
be the wisest men in the world about
business. Nothing is yours that you
can't carry with you. The Lord did
not commend the unjust acts of The
unjust steward, but used these to show
that men in their conduct should have
reference to the future. That man
learned he was to be put out of office.
He at once began to prepare for the
future.
The preacher gave several illustra-
tions to show the folly of dishonesty
and applied them to show that II we
are neglectful of our Christian duty
we are not honest because of the
obligations we are under to be prompt
to service.
The dishonest official begins his
downward course by little acts, and
ultimately lands in the penitentiary.
One who is dishonest with God is paw.
ing the way to the prison house of
death. His closing thought was that
we are not only stewards but soldiers.
