the morning hour, the Pastors text
was, | Corinthians Az. Moreover il
is required in stewards that mar
be found faithful. st. Paul calls At

of a man to be faithful, but adds that
But with me it is a very small thing

Of mans judgement" He was not
an eye servant. but one, who was
pleasing an unseen God. He was but
reiterating the call that the Savior
had been teaching that a man was a
steward or a custodian and that he
was to take care of this stewardship.
In Matt. 25: 1870 he gave the Para
BILE of the Talents" who went away
into far country and left his goods
with his servants. And unto one
he gave five talents. and to another
two, and to another one; to every
man according to his several ability
and straightway took his journey
Each man had his individual respOn-
sibility to meet. On the return of
lord of the household, he dealt with
them according to their severally
stewardships. To the man who had
been true he said We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
| been faithful over a few things,
will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the JOY of thy
Lord" This fact the Savior taught
time and time again in his life and is
emphasized by the Book of Revela
tions, see 2:1O, BE thou faithful un
to death, and | will give thee crown
of life" The Apostle realized that
mankind needed to be urged to be
faithful 1t Is greatly appreciated
when ever we see it, and We all
should practice it. Men understand

He that is faithful in that which
least is also faithful in that whic
is great. | know that there are man
things that would call us away frol
duty, but we must be deaf to tn
call. Indeed, we may learn lesso
from Ulysses, who when he was sal

lived and by it's enchanting musi

We must lash our all to Jesus al
have deaf ears from all that will ca
us from his service and then we Wi
be faithful indeed.
