man who had hidden his talent and
accumulated nothing, SO it was fire.
quently in church membership, those
who shouldered the burdens of the
church, gave literally of their means
and worked the hardest to promote
its good, were not the ones to criti-
CHE or find fault with the way that
church was managed, but those who
were slothful in their duties, gave
but little or nothing towards it's
support and gave that little grudg-
ingly, could always find some cause
of complaint in methods or working
of the church or of its individual
members.
A steward should also be prudent.
not wasteful, or loose, with the tai
ents given him. God gave them to
us to use not to waste or abuse, and
even as a steward of worldly goods
must be accountable to the owner so
must we be accountable to God for
our talents be they little or much
and bring them in the form Of per-
sonal influence to bear on all things
that tend to the upbuilding of his
kingdom on earth
q man has perfect right to
make all he can in this world pro-
vided, of course, that ii is made hon.
estly and with clean hands, but the
more he makes the greater the re-
sponsibility and the more he must
render to Him who gave it. In an
cient times, said the pastor, they
first gave one-tenth of their income
to the church. then after taking
from the balance enough for their
personal needs, they divided the re-
mainder into two equal parts, one
part they put by for future needs or
necessities, but the other they add
ed to the tenth already dedicated to
God. Today, however, tho it is es-
timated that Christian people in the
United States own eight billion dol
lars worth of property, yet instead
of dedicating one-tenth of that vast
sum TO him who gave it, they only
give one-twelfth of ten per cent or
in other words, one one hundred and
twelfth, to Christian work.

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Rev. Bunyan Stephens preached
in the morning on the necessity of
rendering to God of the abundance
he has given to us, not giving as a
mere matter of form, but because
all that we are supposed to possess
is his property by the virtue of
right and ownership. He illustrat-
ed by the wool on the back or
sheep which he claimed was not at
all the property of said sheep bf
belonged to the man who owned the
sheep, and so all things belong to
God because he made them. He
created man to do his bidding; wom-
an to be the companion of man; the
cattle on a thousand hills, the sea
and all that is in it are all his prop
erty; man is only steward, and
only as a steward can he acquire or
accumulate that entrusted to his
care.
Man is a creature of ideas and
ideals, and tho there is a great diff
ference between them, that differ
ence in many instances is only one
of opportunity, and the acquisition
of wealth brings with it the oppor-
tunity of service and as stewards we
are expected to render faithful ser
vice, and to be diligent in business;
to develop those talents which have
been bestowed on us to the cause of
him who gave us those talents and
as in the parable of talents the man
who had accomplished most with the
talent given him. received the great
er reward while the only one to
offer an excuse or complain was the

A CLEAN PLACE TO EAT.
Decent Surroundings Increase the Eff
cheney of Workmen.


A plant manager complained a few
days ago. Il presume the unions will
soon demand baths and dining halls
Well, why should they not? asks G. J.
Morrison in the Engineering Magazine.
The only reason why they should not
is that the manager should provide
them before they are asked for Any
, help toward good health among the
employees is a benefit to the concern.
Not only should Il place to eat be pro
vided but the men should not be per
mitted to eat in the shop. No large ex-
pense need be incurred in fixing up
dining room. but it should be clean,
light, provided with plenty of chairs
and with music.
A concern employing several thou
sand men provided dining rooms for
the first time about two years ago and
was astonished at the increase in pro
duction which resulted. The men re-
turned promptly to work at the close
of the lunch period and took up their
tasks with spirit which was before
entirely lacking On account of its size
this concern was able to go very eX-
tensively into the eating problem and
provided quite an extensive bill of fare
so that an entire lunch could be pur-
chased or nothing at all. just as the
employee elected Foods of the most
wholesome character were provided at
ridiculously low prices, with the result
that over 90 per cent of the employees
purchased their lunches. The lunch
room shows deficit every month, but
is considered a good investment.

The maximum wage was invent

after the plague of 1348 had swept
away half the population Work
was at standstill for want of
workers, and wages went up so
enormously that the state thought
it necessary to fix a limit. The
State did more. 1t ordered that
the laborer should not merely &C
cept gracefully what was offered
him, but that he must not leave
his parish in search of another
master on pain of having the letter

his forehead. Statutes of this
kind were popular up to Elizabeth S

New wage scales have gone into eff

the proving ground at Indian Head
and the station at Annapolis, Md.
The new scales were fixed following
reports Of wage boards at the various
yards and a series of hearings at the
navy department at which the en-
ployees were represented. 1t is said
that the effect of the changes in wage
scale Of the previous year is to in
crease the total payroll by more than
$4,000. More than 1,400 employees
will benefit by these increases, while
about fifty employees are affected by
slight decreases made in few in
stances.
The wage scales were readjusted in
accordance with the direction of CON
gress that the scale paid shall conform
to the prevailing rate of wages paid
for similar work in private shops in
the vicinity of each yard This adjust
ment is made annually.
