five talents had made them other 1--WE.
And the man to whom two talents had
been intrusted had made them other

these servants had been equally great.
1t Is surely quite as meritorious to make
four talents Of two as to make ten tall
ents of five. And SO the Lord judges. To

Purpose of the Nobleman.

Compelled to be absent, the nobleman
would avoid the dissipation and waste
OF his goods. The servants were his,
and to them he would intrust his pos
sessions. He would be gone long
time. During that time they would
have absolute control. There would be
the opportunity to correct any mis-
able plan. How admirably this illus
trates Christ's dealings with His church.
He had come into the world, and He
had brought an untold treasure. In ad-
dition to all other talents there was a
great truth of salvation by faith in
Him. This was to be intrusted to His
disciples. To them He was about to COM
init the greatest treasure of time and
eternity. We tremble when we think
Of the tremendous truth. And well we
might, if that were all OF 1t. But in
the spiritual world that is not all. In
this realm all is intrusted to man, and
all is held in the hand of God.
The parable illustrates the benevolence
would increase his riches. True, but
the plan which he adopted for that
purpose was especially calculated to en-
rich and to ennoble his servants. They
would become familiar with values.
They would learn the laws Of trade,
and little by little they would become
adopts at bargain and sale. It Is a law
of our nature that our powers increase
by exercise. Those loyal and obedlent
servants. at their lords coming. were
very different men from the unskilled
novices to whom the talents were in
trusted. They could hold up their
heads in the marts Of trade respected
and admired by all who knew them.
They had doubled their lords money.
but they had immeasurably enlarged
themselves.
Now, remember the bearing of this truth
upon the spiritual Interpretation Of this
parable. Gods riches are in souls. He
has intrusted the treasures OF the gospel
to his children. They are only men and
women: weak. erring, fallible. But the
gospel which they bring to men is a flaw

Punishment Of the Indolent,

This one man who buried his lord Q
money was thoroughly out OF sympathy
with his master. Perhaps because he had
received but one talent. certainly because
he was expected to enter actively into
trade for its increase. He had permitted
himself to form false views OF his lord,
He was a hard man. "reaping whore he
had not sown. and gathering whore he
had not strewn."
His own words condemned him. WHY,
II his thought were true, had he NOT
sought TO meet his lords requirements.
Why. IL he dreaded his own powers had
he not intrusted his talent to the men
whose business 1t was to deal In ex-
change. He had sought to shift the blame
from himself to his lord. He falls. In
a single word. the lord demolishes ms

and slothfulness. And SO will an excuse

The Reckoning.

And after long time the lord of
those servants cometh and reckoneth with
them This is the inevitable outcome.
1t is an impressive truth that In all the
realm of creation there can be found no
idle or irresponsible thing. Every atom
has it's allotted task. In all realms and
through every rank of creation the law
holds There is nothing without it's
Master, and nothing without it's rewards
and penalties. After a long time" We
have spoken Of time in which the serv-
ants were left to themselves. In the
realm of spirit this is never absolutely
true. The Divine Spirit is ever with man
seeking to direct him and to equip him
for his duties. But that Spirit may be
resisted, man may be unconscious of It's
presence. He seems through long years
to be alone. But the time Of probation
at last ends. 1t is now the hour of
reckoning. That is a picture OF what
will take place with each one of us. Ac-
countability to God, the All-seeing One
"who will render to every man according
to his works. This is an ordeal that
none can evade. Assuredly It is one for
which all should be prepared.
