Church School
Sunday was the banner day fol
the year for the Glendale Church
School. The secretary reported that
III teachers, scholars and visitors
were present. This was a grand
showing, and it would be we'll for all
those interested if the school could
be kept at this mark at all times. 1t
can be done, but it will take hard
systematic work to accomplish it.
Let's try.
The program presented by the lit
tie tots of the primary department
was we'll worth hearing. The meas
les having kept some of the chill
dren, who were to take part, at
home, yet Miss COVerdale, superin-
tendent; Miss Clendaniel and Mrs.
Millman, teachers; certainly pre-
sented a pleasing program which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all pres
ent.
The morning lesson studied by the
school was entitled "The Parable of
the Pounds" Jesus was fast ap-
preaching the time of his crucifix-
ion, only a few days stood between
Him and His death upon the cross.
He spoke of the parable of the
pounds when the people of Jericho
were interested in the mission of
Abraham when he became heir to
the kingdom of his father, HerOd the
Great ,and went to Rome that he
might obtain full possession. The
heir presumptiYe was disappointed
IN his mission as only one fourth
was accorded to him, when he had |
expected more. Christ used that as
IN example. Some will say that the |
parable Of the talents and the par |
lble Of the pounds are similar in ma
ure, yet they are quite different, |
md were spoken at different times
md on different occasions. The par
Ible of the talents was spoken
bout week later than the parable
# the pounds.
What did Jesus intend to teach
lis disciples and others which were
ear when He spoke the two par
bles in question:. Did He not mean
D teach them the value of faithful
teWaTdship? The Master knew
hat His death upon the cross was
ppToaching, and He also knew that II
Ie would soon leave His disciples
lone, that instead of the earthly
ingdom they thought would be set
p, He would direct their minds and
carts on a heavenly kingdom which
le would prepare, not only for His
isciples but for all those who love
lis appearing. The parable of the
Ounds and the parable of the tai
nts we're spoken at a time when
zen needed to be shown that when
hrist left the world that not only
le disciples but others as well
lould recognize the fact that heavy
espOnsibilities would deVolve upon
lem and they were to see that they
ere expected to make just return
) stewards when He should come
gain.
