call turns his back upon sin. selfish

- ECAUSE the Pharisees were
* the leading exponents of the
h Law. Jesus pointed many of
His parallels against them.
while He comparatively ignored the ir-
religious Jews-the Sadducees. who
made no profession of faith. Today's
lesson was spoken as a rebuke to the
spirit of the Pharisees. who bound
heavy burdens upon others. but shirk-
ed them themselves, while pretending
hearty obedience to the Law.
In olden times. more than now, 1t
was the custom for rich men to ap-
point stewards. Such a steward had
absolute control of his masters goods.
The one mentioned in our Lords par
able was ~extravagant. wasteful, unsat-
isfactory. His muster concluded to
dispense with his services, and asked
him to render up his accounts.
A1On his books were certain debtors
who apparently could not meet their
obligations. The steward concluded to
scale off these debts. SO that the debt
ors could pay before he turned over
his office to his successor. One owing
a hundred bath of oil was told to scale
it down to fifty; another owing a hun
dred measures of wheat. to scale 1t
down twenty per cent; etc. Such a
use of his authority made him friends
amongst those favored; and his lord
complimented the wisdom displayed.
Hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
Jesus condemned the Pharisees for
taking an opposite course. He declared
that they silt in Moses seat as inter
prefers of the Law: and that. had they
followed this stewards course, they
