was given the oversight Of ten cities.
The man who gained five pounds was
appointed over five cities. Those ten
men started even, but the faithful
ones had acquired capacity in serv-
ice, for faithfulness begets fruitful
ness. There is no school for success
equal to service.
The craven who would take no
chances-he was so engrossed in en-
tertaining his fears that he had no
time to do his masters appointed
work-wrapped his pound in a nap
kin and then laid his nonproductive-
ness on his lord. He had been so busy
thinking about himself that he had
forgotten the one essential thing;
namely, that he himself was worth
thinking about only as he did his
work in the world.
BY a strange inversion of logic,
they who think most about them
selves are commonly the ones least
worth thinking about. 1t is the no
accounts who are ever taking ac-
count of themselves OF course, this
inefficient servant was voluble with
his excuses; ability to coin excuses
seems to be the one craft in which
the ineffective excel. This servants
failure was by no means his own
fault, he declared. OF course not;
the times were out of joint; the So
cial system was wrong; employers
were high-handed and unjust!
There you have them as they have
existed from time immemorial, and
as they will be to the end; the two
great classes of men: the workers
and the winners. One class does
things, and offers for the worlds in
spection a finished task; the others
whine because the thing simply
cannot be done In one of these two
categories each of us surely has a
place.

He is sure that fate is against him;
that the industrial system is all

that he is a victim of cruel capital;

anu SO on al nduSeum.
Without ignoring the injustices
which abound in the world, let us
deal frankly with this cvraven spirit,
which is worse than any of the other
evils of life. We need often to tell
ourselves the old story of the coward
whose sword war broken and who
fed from the battle in despair. A
prince picked up the broken blade
and with 1t won a glorious victory
in that same battle.
Some think that the master in this
story dealt too sharply with the
derelict servant. Our mood nova
days is one of sentimentality, which
would rather send flowers to con-
victed murderers than to send them
to the gallows. Joseph Parker has
a wise word on this theme:
when Jesus spoke a severe word,
the severity came out of the truth of
it's application. Is it not a harsh
thing to call a man a liar? Not if
he be false. Is 1t not very unsocial
to describe any man as a hypocrite? :?
Not\ if he be untrue. "Wheerin
then, is this wickedness of calling
men names? In the misapplication
of the piethets. 1t is wicked to call
a man true if we know him to be
untrue. There is an immoral cour-

Wanted: More Great Men
Observers not a few are bewailing
the lack of great men in our time
One clear answer to this is that not
enough are in the school of great
ness. which is called fidelity. Great
ness is not an accolade, laid on by
the stroke of fortune. Greatness is
a growth, and more persons have
potentalities for 1t than ever they
realize. Most of us could do great
things If we were in the habit of
growing in our present tasks; but
we prefer to do little things in lit,
tie way. We covet safety rather than
strength. The average man is look
ing for a sure salary rather than for
a worthy task. Besides, we too often
want to go fishing or to go to the
movies" or to the baseball game;
when the spirit of greatness woui1

bid us stick to the taks. The re-
ward of work we'll done is more work
to do; and whoever gets in the clas-
sifcation of greatness finds himself
the servant of his work.
Underlying this picture is the
great truth that the king was de-
pendent on his stewards; even as
Christ let's the welfare of His king
dom rest on the faithfulness of His
friends. All good causes, even the
growth of the gospel itself, depend
on the fidelity of those who stand as
stewards. And that puts the parable
squarely up to all of us in the every
day of life.

Washington, July "a. Declaring
that Representative Fitzgerald had an
erroneous impression when he stated
that the Administration regarded him

tiflc efficiency" as being Improbable
to both. The head of one great cor
poration declared that there is no
system of efficiency like having
faithful employees, each of whom is
doing his best and expecting a just
reward for his labors.
That same man remarked that
'one trouble of our times is that
most men are thinking how they
may get rich quickly, while few are
thinking about sheer fidelity and
personal efficiency" He pointed out
what the warp and woof of our ma
tional life needs just now. We can
get along handsomely without any
more captains of industry" or
high f1nanciers"; but lack of the
faithful doers of life's daily tasks
spells ruin for the nation itself. The
ominous verdict that the "man fac

recent railway wrecks should set us
all thinking. The present need is

When Even Becomes Odd
All this is gathered up in one of
the peerless stories of cameo clear
ness told by Jesus. He drew a pic
ture of ruler going afar for a long
time. To each of ten assistants, or
agents, or stewards, or servants, he
gave one pound (about sixteen dol
lars in present currency.) They
were to trade Herewith until their
master should return. and then rem
der him an accounting. These men
were left with a large degree of in
dependence and to their own initia-
tive.
Come to think of it, the parable
represents something like an expert
ment in socialism. All the men were
equipped alike. They were started
on equal terms. All had the same
general obligation. But as in every
other similar experience since the
beginning of time. the human factor
prevailed. What started even ended
odd. One man returned to his master

Phantom Lake, therefore, and the

us and came flashing on, their ponies
so much fresher than ours that they

to hold it as to hope to escape our pur-
suers by further fight.
