Parable Of the Pounds with
~ the Parable of the Talents
They teach totally different
lessons. In the case Of the talents. the
amount given each servant differed
In the case of the pounds. the amount
was the same. This parable. there
fore. deals with something common to
all the class referred to.
Jesus and His disciples were ap-
preaching Jerusalem, where shortly He
was to be crucified. The disciples. on
the contrary, supposed that the Messi
anic Kingdom would Immediately be
established. This parable was intend.
ed to inform them that long time
would first elapse.
The kings of Palestine were appoint
ed by the Roman Emperor. One of the
Herods had recently gone to Rome.
seeking appointment to a kingdom
Some who hated him sent a message
to Rome. declaring their preference for
another king. Jesus seized upon this
circumstance as illustrating His own
case. He was the Appointee for the
Messianic Kingdom; but He would go
to Heaven. and there the Heavenly
Father. Emperor Of the Universe.
would invest Him with authority
Later He would return to earth and
exercise dominion. This is exactly the
presentation of prophecy.-Psalm 2:S
"oeeupy Till I Come"
During the Masters absence In
Heaven, He has committed to His dis
ciples, His servants. one pound each.
with full liberty to use their best judy
ment in His service. At His return.

Smith Pushes Standard Apple
Box Bill

The Standard Apple Box Bill
which has been actively supported by
Representative Smith, of Idaho, is
still on the House calendar, it's con-
sideration under the unanimous con-
sent rule having been refused on
objection of Congressman Dillon of
North Dakota. A similar bill passed
the Senate on the 18th of August
and there is still hope Of the enact
ment of the law during the present
session, which is likely to be PRO-
longed until the first of October.
This legislation is yery much de-
sired by the apple growers in the
western country, as it not only de-
termines the size Of the apple box,
but the purchaser is insured that
he will receive full measure for
his money.

equivalent to election. It has beer
charged for many months that tho
present administration is run by
the South; fer the South, and hero
again the North seems to have rea
son to feel that the charge is true.
On Tuesday, the very day the reso-
luton was passed, the last primary
was held in the Southern states. This
practically concludes the campaigning
in the South rs it IL a foregone con-
clusion that all Democrats nominated
will be elected.
Northern people see in the resolu-
ton passed at this time an effort to
prevent Northern members who are
largely Republicans from going homo
to engage in the fall campaign and
thus discussing the Democratic poll
cies and bringing the issues before
the people. They contend that tho
heavy measures have all been dis
posed Of by the House and that If
there has been need Of a quorum of
members in the city that need was
constant for the past six months and
not necessarily now. They point out
that now there is scarcely any need
Of a quorum while on the other hand
during the past six months when
the heavy measures were being con-
sidered, Including three trust bills,
it was almost impossible to obtain
a quorum of the House.
To an outsider it looks as though
the charge was true and that tina
resolution was one Ct the most ex.
IRENE measures for party expediency
that was ever enacted.

The Unfdithful Stescdrd. shall have dealt
with His servants at His Second Com
ing will Messiah begin to deal with the
world. and especially His enemies.
This statement is borne out by numer.
GUS Scriptures. The work Of the Cos
pei Age is merely for the selection and
testing of His servants. to determine
which will be found worthy of associa-
ton with Himself in the Kingdom.
At first thought we might gather
that verse q signifies that the King of
Glory will be imDlacable. ferocious, un.
sympathetic. with His enemies. A pic.
ture OF this carnage is given in Reve-
lation 1915. where He is represented
In glorious majesty. with a sword pro-
ceeding out of His mouth. that with 1t
He should smite the nations. Blessed
shifting! This terrible carnage will
mean great blessing: for the Lord
smites to heal. Unless His enemies be
thus brought into subsection. nothing
remains for them but extinction.-Acts

committed to the masses. and that no
judgment, reward, is made in their
case at the Masters return. Only His
servants will be held responsible for
either reward or punishment in respect
to their faithfulness.
In considering what is signiied by
the pound, we must keep in memory
that the fulfilment must show some
blessing or responsibility given alike
to all of Gods consecrated people. We
can think of but one thing given alike
to this class. Their talents and oppor-
tunities are very unlike-wealth, men,
tai capacity. environment, etc. None
Of these varied talents belong to this
Parable Of the Pounds.
The pound represents justification.
The one thing which the Redeemer
does for all His followers is to justify
them freely from all things, leaving
them on exactly an equal footing; for
justification makes up to each in pro-
portion as he is short of perfection.
"Be Thou Faithful Unto Death"
All who now become Christ's fol-
lowers must receive from the Lord, as
basis for this relationship, the pound
free forgiveness of sins-justification
Because they are thus alike qualified,
the results will show the degree Of
loving zeal controlling each servant.
AS in the parable one servant gained
ten pounds. so such noble characters
as st. Peter. st. John and others count
ed all earthly things as loss and dross.
that they might be pleasing to their
Master. the coming King. These. and
such as these. who have gladly spent
themselves in the Lords service. will
have the highest rewards. The servant
who reported gain of five pounds rep
resents class who will receive less
influential place in the Kingdom.
"Thoss Mine Enemies-SIay Them"
The servant who hid his pound repre-
sents those who have entered into a
covenant with the Lord to be His serv-
ants. who have received justification at
His hands, but who have not complied
