THE UNJUST STEWARD.

1ANN ~ 80 ~
"He that is faithful in very little is
faithful also in much; and he that is
unrighteous in very little is I'M
righteous in much. Verse 10.
Because the Pharisces were the leading
exponents OF the Law, Jesus pointed
many of His parallels against them,
while He comparatively ignored the ir-
religious Jews 1.-THE Sadducees. who made
no profession Of faith. This parable
was spoken as a rebuke to the spirit
Of the pharisees, who bound heavy bur
dens upon others, but shirked them
themselves, while pretending hearty
obedience 20 the Law.
In olden times, more than now, II was
the custom for rich men TO appoint
stewards such steward had absolute
control Of his masters goods. The one
mentioned in our Lords parable was ex-
travagant, wusteful. unsatisfactory. Ills
master had concluded TO dispense with
his services, and had asked him to rem
der mp his accounts On his books were
certain debtors who apparently could
not meet their obligations. The stew
ard concluded 10 scale OH these debts,
so that the debtors probably could pay
before he turned over his office to his
successor. One owing hundred bath
Of oil was told that he might scale
off the debt to fifty. Another owing a
hundred measures OF wheat was told
that he might scale il down twenty per
cent And so he went down the list.
Such use of his authority made him
friends amongst those whom he had fay
ored and his lord complimentcd him
on the wisdom hc had displayed
Applying this parable, Jesus proper
tionatelv condemn the pharisees for
taking an opposite course. He declared
that the scribes and the Pharisees sat in
Moses seat as interpreters Of the Mosiac
law; and that had they followed the
course of this steward. thoy would have
made friends of the poor publicans and
sinners. by trying to encourage them TO
do their best to comply with the de.
nauds of the Law. Instead they bound
heavy burdens upon the people, discour-
aged them and alienated their sym
pathy.
All this on their part was hypocrisy;
for they could not help knowing that
they themselves were unable to comply
with the requirements of the Law, which
is the full measure of a perfect mans
ability Their proper attitude would
have been TO confess their own short
comngs. to strive to do their best. 20
appeal to God for mercy and TO teach
the common people 10 do similarly. So
doing they would have been better pre-.
pared to be received into the Gospel
favor in the end Of their Age As it
was, they were hindering both them

stock etc. This would include hired farm labor, farm supplies purchased that are necessary to carry on the business and not au investment that represents prin- cipal, etc. Expenses for repairs on farm property may be deduct ed, provided the amount deduct ed does not exceed the amount spent for such repairs during the year for which the return is made. The cost of replacing tools or machinery may also be deducted to the extent that the cost of the new articles does not exceed the value of the old. No ieduction may be made for the cost of ad- ditional farm machinery. but credit may be allowed for the an- nual depreciation in the value of such machinery. For example. if machine cost Sl00 and is re- garded as for ten years service, the annual depreciation would be be 10 per cent, and aduction of $l0 each year could be made on this account, as part of the eX pense of operating the farm.
 The expense of supporting the family. however, can not be de ducted from the gross income
 Among items for which credit IS not allowed are expense for med icalattendance. life insurance, in. surance on dwelling, store ac- counts. family supplies, wages of domestic servants, and cost of board, room or house rent for the family or personal use. In case an individual owns his residence he cannot deduct the estimated
 value of his rent. But tenant operating a rented farm as prop rietor may deduct the rent of the !arm as part of the expense of business.
 Farmers are not required to in- clude in their income the produce taken from the farm and con Sumed by the family. Only pro- duce sold off the farm is to be in- rIudod. 4 farmer is not entitled 70 a deduction tor his own labor or for expense of feeding live
 ;tock. He may however deduc: such items as cost of fertilizer and other supplies and materials which are used up in the course of operations.
 The law provides that for the year from March lst to Decem. (ConuLuea OA page l0)
