stand in my stead who will make my
interests his interests, and upon whom
I can depend absolutely, is the hardest
problem in all my business"
Business men are dependent upon
the trustworthiness of their helpers
just as was the rich man in the par
able. So is every one of us; so is God.
Even the great work Of the Lord AL
mighty is hindered by the unfaithful-
ness of his stewards. To be faith
full steward of God is to gain highest
success.
A burglar breaks into house and
steals, but the news of his crime does
not distress us as does the news of an
absconding cashier or of defaulting
trustee. The latter offences are par
ticularly grave because they are vio-
lations of trust. The wickedness of a
steward in whom all confidence has
been placed is greater wickedness than
many other sins. That is the saddest
part about a Christians doing wrong;
he violates Gods trust in him. An Of
Tending Christian is faithless stew
ard There is a double offense when
ever Christian sins.

most business men meet is the case of
the man or woman who wants work
or wages-and has no special ability.
These are often persons who have sud
denly fallen from wealth to poverty.
The steward was In just this fix; If he
got out Of his easy position what could
he do? He felt almost forced into fur
Their wickedness, because he had. or
thought he had. no other resources.
Thousands of criminals are made in
the same way, for they have not pluck
and principle enough to suffer rather
than to do wrong Self reliance is pro.
noted by self resourcefulness.
Using the Present For the Future.
A shady transaction by the steward
of the story-he reduced the obliga.
tons of every one of his masters debt
ors, in order to win their friendship.
although he also thereby quickly col
lected the debts for his employers
made the point of the parable Sud
denly Jared into prudence. the stew
ard belatedly began to take thought
for the future. He used his present
opportunity for subsequent advantage.
His was foresight, even though at the
eleventh hour. He realized that the
greatest use of today is to make tomor-
rows out of it. The larger part of life
is preparation. ....
That same quality Of sagacity is
what the Teacher sought for his hear
ers. Most of us are opportunists. We
live day at time, in happy-go-lucky
fashion, more or less like the negro OF
the story, who, asked if he wanted to
earn a quarter replied, "Why, boss.
Use got quarter" and went whistling
on his way. When hard times befall.
how few firms weather the storm. A
long look ahead, life Of real purpose,
building for the future-this was the
quality which Jesus commanded in the
unjust steward. In craftsmanship, re-

WORLDLY WISE FOR UNwoRLDLY
ENDS.
The international Sunday School Les.
con for May 10 10 1.-THE Unjust
Steward,"-Luke IS: 1-13.
BY William T. Ellis.

"Aunty. you are SO charitable that
think you would find a good word to
say about old Satan himself" one re-
marked.
We'll" was the reply, there is his
persistence for one thing" Out Of evil
4 good may be learned. This present
world is full Of lofty suggestions and
, admonitions to the saintliest persons,
even though the ways of the world
may not be approved. big business
certainly has much to teach the church
and tho laboring man, even though,
!; broadly speaking, 1t may be at enmity
, with both. Good ways may be learned
!. from bad man. So Jesus cited the
parable of the unjust steward, not to
| comm end the steward, but to point out
| that the children Of darkness are some.
times wiser than the children of light.
Because we use the murderer's case
| to teach lesson Is no endorsement OF
= the murderer.
Parallels may not be compelled to
run on all tours. Trying to find some
homiletical meaning in every detail OF
our Lords parallels has done endless
harm to Christian teaching. "A par
able, 1t has been said, is narrative,
fictitious, but agreeable to the laws
and usages Of human life, by which
either the duties of men or the things
Of God, particularly the nature and
history of Gods kingdom, are figur-
atively portrayed. A parable is to be
distinguished from a fable The for
mer is probable and might be true. the
latter introduces impossibilities, such
as trees talking; the former teaches
important spiritual truths, the latter
does not advance beyond homely les
sons Of worldly prudence. The parable
| is also to be distinguished from an al
legory. The parable is stOry-com
plete in ITSELF quite apart from its in
depreciation, whereas an allegory has
no meaning at all apart from Its in
depreciation. The parable differs still
more from the myth, in which allegory
and fact are SO mixed that the allegory
is taken for fact. No parallels occur
in the fourth Gospel; their place is
taken by paroimiai, "allegories', Of
which the most complete are those OF
the fold, the good shepherd and the
vine and the branches.
UnfaithfuI and Unfit.
Commonly it is the unfit who are the
unfaithful. This steward found him,
self discharged from his position, and

Becoming Men Of Means.

oSSOtIliIS VtSU VI WSdHS.
The Master calls mammon, or money
means" (R. W. This is the point Of
his teaching here. Do not make money
an end. but means. We speak Of rich
men as men of means If their
wealth is truly only means to large
service and usefulness, it is praise
worthy. This Is the only ground on
which Christian can justify himself
in seeking money, for money in itself
is a low thing. But it is possible to
make high use Of low things; the
Master did this when he employed
money in his parable. Mammon may
be employed but never served.
We may not serve God and NAM
mon, but we may serve God with NAM
mon. The symbols and usages and
methods of this present world may all
be employed and sanctified in the high
est service Because he is a Christian,
one, should be better worker, better
business man, better friend, than one
who is not.
