The Washington herald., 1914-07-25

There are two lines of teaching suggest
ed by these parallels, dealing in turn
with the Lords outlook on His own work,
and His Interpretation OF our consequent
responsibility.
As to His outlook on His own work, II
should be observed that the parable of
the pounds was spoken because there
were those who thought that He would
Immediately establish the kingdom of
God; while the parable Of the talents was
spoken in answer to the inquiry OF the
disciples as to when certain things would
take place. which He had predicted. In
each case. therefore, He was revealing
His own understanding of the programme
OF His work for the correction Of mis-
takes. or the enlightenment OF the per-
picked. The revelation in each case Is
the same. He stood in the midst of His
disciples. and OF His own age, clearly
seeing the whole movement; ahead OF
Him Jerusalem with its hostility. and
His consequent scourging. and suffering,
ending In death: beyond that His resur-
rection snd departure to receive the king
dom, Gperiod therefore in the world dur
ing which His servants would be respon-
sible for His interests. a period In which
they would be called upon TO occupy, to
do business with the deposit which He
would entrust 70 them IN kingdom au-
thortty and power; all this to culminate
In His own return. when He would FIRST
deal with those who had held such re-
sponsioility. and then establish finally
His kinndom.
All our present activities are within
that period during which the Lord n alb
sent. We walt His coming. This view
