Sunday School Lesson

Our Lord has given us a freedom
in the use of the talents, for He has
placed no restrictions upon us as to
how we should use the talents in
trusted to US. The practice of tithing
is not advanced as we'll as it might be
among us, but one may well question
if the Lord will be satisfied with the
tenth from the poor widow and not
expect a larger return from the per
sons with great incomes. The accu-
mutation of great resources has made
possible some of the worlds greatest
philanthropio services, but the final
test upon the stewards work will be
not the increase but fidelity to his
trust Have we used our education.
influence, time, as well as wealth, in
a way that would be pleasing to Him
and advance His kingdom among
men?
If we are faithful as stewards we
must be confident in the goodness of
the Lord. The man who failed had a
false conception of the Masters char
acter. He failed not because he had
only one talent to use but because he
did not enter with the correct spirit
upon his work, due to his false view
of the Master as O. hard, grasping
soul, when He is one of goodness,
mercy and truth. Due to this wrong
judgment, many are today missing
the mark of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus. Some of the greatest
rewards come while engaged in the
Masters service, while He has as
sured us of a proper recognition OF
our services when He calls us to give
an account of our stewardship when
He comes.
Final Awards.
1--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. >
This judgment is not of our life, but
of our service as Christian stewards.
We can't escape this time of reckon
ing, for no one will be overlooked. II
we have been faithful, there should
be no need of our hesitation in APP
pearing before Him when He comes.
for He will assign US to places in ac-
cordance with our fitness in His king
| dom. We may then expect common
dation, promotion and participation in
| His joy il we have made the right use
of our opportunities to increase the
talents that He has intrusted to us.
The condemnation of the man with
only one talent for his neglect and
lack of fidelity to his trust ought to
serve as a warning to us all, for his
exposure, reproof and punishment
should serve to quicken our activity
and fidelity. He brought, as every
outcast will, the punishment of con-
dempation upon himself. We should
learn from this parable that the end of
the man who processes religion with
out possessing it will be worse than
If he had not made such false claims.
The only ones sure of being rewarded
are those who are faithful to their
trust. There is no honor that we can
covet that can be greater than to have
the Master say to us, when He comes
and reviews our life work as stew
ards, He was faithful"

we live is world of reality and only
on the basis of truth can any abiding
happiness and peace be founded. j
have known some cases where things
were twisted to save a friend from
pain, but the final discovery of the
full truth of the circumstances proved
infinitely more painful and disastrous
than if the facts had been properly
presented in the beginning.
1t is also true that what Is some
times referred to as a. half truth"
may really be a whole lie. And such a
lie may do infinite damage. If, in the
spirit of Iago, / tell a friend that l
saw another man kissing and pet
ting his wife" but omit to tell my
friend that the other man was his
wife's father, / may precipitate, by
such a half truth, a domestic tragedy
that. as in the case OF Othello, leads
even to the destruction of innocent
life and the breaking of hearts on
every side.
The Bible makes plain that, through
the help of God, we may be able to
speak the truth in love-" and yet to
speak the truth. And surely bald,
naked, unvarnished, straightforward.

Is one of the supreme needs of this
age of temporiZing, equivocation and

modern life where, through adroit but
highly misleading advertising, we not

Let me close with the emphatic state

Kingdom of Heaven. 1t is written in
Revelations xxi.S, But the fearful,

liars shall have their part in the lake
