IL y WAY TO INCREASE ONES TALENTS

the Lord Of these servants cometh and
reckoneth with them. This long time
ID this Gospel Age. and the presence
OF the King in the end Of the Age to
hear the report Of his servants and to
reward them represents the pdrousia
(or presence) Of Messiah and his test
Ing, sitting work in his Church. We
should distinctly note that this testing
and proving is not Of the world, for
Christ never recognized any as his
servants, except the consecrated. Many
now in the time when the servants of
the Lord are rendering up their ac-
counts, and when he Is saying to some,
"Well done, good and faithful servant;
enter thou into the Joy Of thy Lord"
and when he is saying to others, "Thou
wicked and slOthful servant
take ye away, therefore, the talent
from him, and give it unto him that
hath the ten talents" All Of this test
ing and rewarding Of the servants Of
Christ Is manifestly prior to any out
ward manifestation Of the King in his
glory. because the worthy ones are t.
share with the Master in his glorious
manifestation and this testing must
demonstrate the worthy ones, in ad-
vance Of the revelation in glory.
The one who had received FIVE tai
ents and used them wisely. energetical-
ly, faithfully. Loyalty, doubled them
and was invited to share in the Mas
ter's joy and glory. His reward would
be to sit as ruler Of many. In other
words, the service Oe the present life
Is but an Insignificant one In compari-
son to the glorious service which awaits
the Lords faithful people in the tu-
ture-when they shall sit with Messiah
In his Throne and, as kings and priests,
bless and instruct and uplift and con-
troll Israel and all the nations Of the
world. The approval of the one who
was given two talents and who was
equally faithful, was In equally kind
and benevolent terms. He also was
good and faithful servant over q
few things; he also would be set as
ruler over many things; he also
might enter into the joy OF his Lord.
The servant who failed to use his tai
ent was branded al wicked and sloth-
ful. He knew in advance that the tai
ent was given him for use ana because
he had profcsscd to be a faithful scrv-
mt. His failure to use the talent

LAUNDRY CHANGES HANDS.
Two New Families Move Into Town

Sumter's population has been in
creased by two families in the pas;
week. Mr.. ]. T. Brightwell and fam
lily and his brother, Mr.. L. o. Bright
we'll and family having moved here
from Virginia, and purchased the
Sumter Steam Laundry.
So quietly and unostentasiously
have these gentlemen come in that
few people knew the laundry had
changed hands. Mr.. Brightwell was
loath to make any announcement as
to his plans for work until he could
completely overhaul the entire plant
and could get in shape to turn out
work according to his standard. AL
though at present the work is a lit
tie better than has been done, Mr..
Brightwell says it will be two weeks
before he can get everything in
shape to suit him. At that time he
will have an announcement to make
through these columns to the pub
lie.
These gentlemen are not too
young to be responsible, are full of
vim, are hustlers, and will no doubt
make good citizens according to
Sumter's standard.

proved him disloyal. unfalthful. He
lost the talent. 1t Is not for us to say
that the Lord will have no blessing
for that unfaithful servant He was a
servant all the time. He respected the
talent He did not lose it. But he
did not use 1t properly. He seems to
represent very similar class to the
one described in our study Of a week
ago as the foolish virgins. This class
Will fail to get into the glories Of the
Kingdom, but will surely get into the
time Of trouble and it's outer dark
sess, disappointment and chagrin, with
which this Age will end and the New
Age be ushered in. The Lord grant
that this lesson may help some Of the
Lords consecrated servants to be more
helpful. more careful. in the use Of
their cOnsecrated talents, that they
may glorify the Lord and hear his
well done" in the end.
One difficulty with many Of us in
the past has been fear Of the Master
We should have gotten better ac-
quainted with him. We should have
learned more respecting his real. true
character and his purposes. If now
the eyes Of our understanding are open
ing, II now we are seeing the beauty
Of our talents and privileges Of service
as never before. let us quickly dig the
talent ont and wash II free from all
soil Of the earth and use il earnestly,
zealously. vigorously. for the praise of
our King. redeeming the time. know
ing that the days are unfavorable.
Even now we may show our Lord that
we are getting awake to the great
privilege and enjoyment Of being his
servants and mouthpieces and that
we will delight. at any cost. to show
forth the praises of him who has
called us out Of darkness into his mar.

THE RECKONING HOUR
Matthew rs: A. 3O-Oetober g

"HS Lord said unto him, Well done, thou
good and faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful orcr a fe,o things. / sciII make thee
ruler orer mdnv things; enter thou into the
Joy OF thy Lord"
This study follows the one of
last week 1t also illustrates
the fact that Messiah at his
second Advent. before appearing to
the world in power and great glory
and In the time Of trouble, will be
present amongst his consecrated peo-
pie and many Of them will know Of

time. He will do amongst them
Judging work-deciding their rewards
In proportion to their faithfulness. 1t
is we'll that we keep In memory the
difference between the parable Of the
pounds and the parable Of the talents.
Both represented money. But talent
Is sixty times as valuable as a pound
In he parable Of the pound each serv-
ant got one pound, but in the parable
Of the talents the numbers given va
ried. In some respects all Of Gods
people have one common footing and
common privilege Of service, as repre-
sented by the pound. In another re-
spect their opportunities, privileges
and advantages vary. as represented
In the present study, the parable Of
the talents.
This is another parable of the King
dom. The Great Teacher himself went
into the far country. even heaven; but
before departing he delivered unto his
servants certain blessings, privileges,
pportunities-''to each according to
his several abilities" The beginning
Of this parable was in the days Of the
Apostles when Jesus ascended up on
high and at Pencecost shed forth In
the Fathers name the holy spirit, COM
municating blessing upon each one
of his followers, as represented in the
talents and opportunities Of each fol-
lower. All through this Gospel Age
these servants have been making more
or less use Of their privileges and more
or less wisely exercising themselves to
serve the Master. Some traded with
their talents, or used them In preach
Ing, teaching. etc. And others hid
them in the earth, perhaps under cares
and responsibilities. After d long time

warranted bond for the work to
stand for a certain number of years
that he thought that II would be best
for the council to reject all bids and
let the city itself do the work. He
asked that some one make q motion
to this effect but no one did so. Mr..
Mckeiver said that he was a contrac-
tor himself and that he did not think
that any contractor would be will
ling to allow an egineer to super
wise his work and then be willing
to give bond for the work to stand
for required number Of years. Just
here Mr.. Glenn said that .e wanted
to bring the matter to a head one
way or the other; he did not care
whether council accepted or rejected
the bid of Berghaus & Moffatt, al
though he was in favor Of accept
ing. He moved that Berghaus g.
Moffatt be notified that their bid
would be accepted If they would
agree to the changes which Mr..
Berghaus had told the City Engineer
that he was willing to make, these
changes being a cut on the price of
the filling from so to 25 cents a
square yard. and leaving out the
septic tank, and on condition that
they put up the proper bond as an
agreement that the work would be
done properly.
Mr.. Booth seconded this motion.
1t was then discussed for some time,
Mayor Jennings being opposed to
grant the contract If the contractors
could not be made to furnish good
bond. The status Of the contract
was looked up and 1t was found
that 1t did not call for a bond after
the work was completed, but only
while 1t was going on. The ques-
tion was then called for and the mo-
tion put to council. All of the
accepting the bid Of Berghaus &
Moffatt except Alderman Wright.
Mr.. Wright was opposed to accept
ing the bid on the ground that it
was excessively high and. while he
was not in favor of the city doing
the work, he thought it best to re-
ject all bids and call for more and
then, If the city should not get the
work done cheaper, he thought that
1t was best for the city to do the
work for itself.
1t was then decided to hold all
bonds until Berghaus e. Moffatt
were heard from, when 1t could be
decided whether they would be re-
5ected or not, that depending upon
whether Mr. Berghaus would bind
himself to a contract such as coun-
Gil desired and had bid to accept.
