ua1 Cabinet" to Give Support to
New Administration.

Rev. Zed H. Copp, formerly of this
city, has organized a prayer cabinet"

President, and has issued nation
wide invitation to those who wish to
become cabinet members"
Explaining his plan, DR.. Copp says:
what I propose is that there shall
be a spiritual presidential cabinet, a
group of persons who will agree to
pray for the president morning, noon
and night, that God may give him
wisdom, health and power for his
presidential duties and keep him from
egotism, error and illness; who will
pray likewise for the members of his
cabinet. for governors and all others
in authority, and for the general well
fare of America at home and abroad
Any one who will do this and desires
to be listed in the cabinet" are in
vited to write to DR.. Copp at 1908
Duncannon avenue, Philadelphia,
plainly signing his or her name and
address.
Dr. Copp intends to typewrite the
list, he says, and have it handsomely
bound and presented to the President

BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON.

Jesus continued His sermon. part
Of which we considered last week in
our study of the virgins that called for
vigilance upon the part of His follow
ers until He returned, so that in the
study Of the talents that furnishes
the theme for this weeks considera-
ton we have the same subjects and
background as in last weeks lesson.
In our study of the virgins we con-
sidered the important truths concern
ing the Lords return which are also
emphasized in the section assigned
for this weeks consideration. In the
parable of the talents, which intro
duced the word talent into our speech
and tongue, the relation that Christ's
disciples sustain to Him is emphasized
in a life of service. Last weeks study
forced home the character of those
who wait for the Lord, while this one
presents in an ancient picture the
conduct of the waiting church in its
ministry of endeavor. While the
truths of this parable are pictured
forth in an ancient coin. the talent; in
ancient class distinctions of the mas
ter and his slaves. and in the an
cient customs of the east OF hiding
money in the earth for safe Keeping,
vet the lesson 10 DC uTd" AioHi Aii1o
ancient portrait is full of perpetual
and modern application. through its
requirements of a life of service.
In the parable of the pounds an
equal sum is given to each or the
servants, but in the story before us
the talents are distributed accord
ing to each mans several ability"
The parable of the pounds stands for
those gifts which all possess as Chris
tians, such as the Precipitation Of our
Lords death, salvation, the gift Of
| the Holy Spirit and the word of God.
While the sums intrusted in the par
a Bile of the pounds are relatively small
because its main lesson teaches one to
| make the most of the little you have"
so by the use of the large sum, the
| talent, which was then worth about
| $1,000. but would be equivalent to
fully $4,000 today, emphasis is placed
upon the truth. ITO whom much is
given. Of them much will be re-
| Quired."
God has no sons who are not
| servants 1t is needless almost to sug-
gest that the certain man" who trav-
| eled into a far country is our Lord
| himself and that the servants" are
! the profeSsed believers who prove
their sonship by service. By appoint

servants cometh" suggests not only a
delay of the Masters return, but the
| certainty that He will come. No one
| will escape the summons when He
| comes to appear before Him, For we
must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body
whether it be good or bad When He
j comes He will not judge US In refer
ence to our sin or salvation, for He
varys cross, but He will call for an
accounting of our service and stew
ardship.
| When the first two servants came
before Him they fearlessly and frank
| Iy told the Master of their work and
the results They did not boast of
their success, but, like faithful stew
ards, handed over the results. Christ
! commended both alike, showing that
| He was not seeking quantity, but
quality. He praised both men and
| their work when He said, well done,
good and faithful servant He pro-
NOTED them to become partners when
| He appointed them over many
things" bidding them to Enter into
the joys Of their Lord" The faith
full and trustworthy are promoted to
an increase of fellowship with Him
in the performance of higher duties.
The one who is true and faithful in
the small things of life is certain to
be called to higher spheres of service.
When the one talented man came
to present his report it is evident
that he realized too late his mistake,
for he sought to cover his failure and
shirking of his duty by making ex-
cuses. He knew that his own idle
ness and faithfulneSS were the cause
of his failure, yet he dares to try and
place the blame upon the Lord Jesus.
In claiming. that the Lord was mer-
cenary and unscrupulous he revealed
the evil of his own character and the
personal cause for his failure to
make good. Instead of commenda-
ton he received merited condemna-
tion for his wickedness and shirk-
ing, like all slackers, the summons
to a service of sacrifice, self-denial
and service. The Lord exposed his
false excuses and condemned his
neglect to place the talent even in
service with a banker who would
have paid interest upon the same.
His punishment was twofold. He
lost the talent intrusted to his keep
the outer darkness, where is weeping
and gnashing of teeth" The false
professor reveals his falseness by
failure as steward and servant OF
God. If by hypocrisy we deceive
men we cannot fool God or escape
punishment any more than those who
are faithful in the proper use of their
life and talents will fail to receive
the proper rewards for their service
and stewardship. Let us all try. SO
to honor the Lord Jesus that when
He reviews our life and labor He
will say to US, well done, good and
faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful over few things, will
make thee ruler over many things.

Sunday School Lesson

chosen to be workers together with
God" for Paul tells US that when the
Lord ~ascended up On high He gave
glftS unto men," so that the world
might be evangelical and the church
be built up by their use of their abil-
ity and opportunity to do His viii and
work in the world.
In the distribution Of His goods each
was given what he was able to use
with advantage. He did not overload
task beyond his power. He did not
fail to give to each according to his
ability. He knew what they were
each qualified to do. so He intrusted
them during His absence with that
portion of His goods which each could
use to the best advantage for His
Masters glory if they would be faith
full. To every man a definite work
is given that no other person can do
as we'll The Lord counts upon our
doing our duty with the great trust
He has committed to US.
Two classes realized their RESPONSE

ents fntrusted to them. Nothing is

for they did not know when He
would return to demand from them
an accounting for the trust commit

of great ability and the mediocre
one consecrated their ability and used
their opportunity to increase the ab-
sent Lords goods. Their faithful
ness resulted in both securing an in
crease of 100 per cent in talents in

One failed the Master because he

Motorist Equips
 Truck With Bath
 and Running Water

Selma, September 2S.-(Special.) ) One of the biggest problems con- fronting the motorist who wishes to camp along the trail. that of ade- quate bathing facilities, has been solved by c. E. Lloyd of Pensacola, who passed through Selma today with his wife and litle daughter and mother, travelling in a Rec truck fit ted out with sanitary washstand, bath tub and running water.
 The truck created good deal of curiosity on the street, and was de- clared to be one of the most com plete ever seen here. It was built in the Lloyd's back yard.
 Two long seats. running length wise the car, toward the front, are made into hunks at night, with up- per berths attached over them. Cup boards for holding clothing are neatly made into the walls at the rear of the front compartments, and the back end of the truck is given over to a combination kitchen and bath. Concealed beneath the floor ing is four-foot bathtub.
 Priceless cooker, oil stove and re- frigerator all are conveniently slowed away. Provisions are carried on the running board in water ight bundles.
 Destination of the party is Los An geleS.

DAIRY DAY HELD
Several Thousand Visit Greenville
 for Big Event

Greenvilfe, September 28.-(Spe- cial)-Greenville was crowded with between 5000 and 5000 people yes terday who came here to attend the Butler County Dairy Day. The event was one of untold value to the farm CTS. for they gained valuable infor- nation concerning dairy farming.
 Professor Holden, Bill Hardie and H. c. Heath were the principal speakers for the day. Music was furnished by the Masonic Home band of Montgomery. The music was ex- cellent and it was one of the most enjoyed features of the day. The band is composed of 32 of the young fellows ;.t the home who are devel- oping into foremost musicians.
 There was plenty of barpecue and the things that go with it to make 1t good, plenty of ice cream and lemonade that was served by com mittee of women and men of Green vile.
 Those who attended the lectures and witnessed the instructions in judging cows gained much knowl- edge that will greatly assist them in carrying on their dairy farming. A oairying project is rapidly growing Tn Butler county. and it is the means of bringing thousands of dollars to the farmers.
