 The Golden Text is from He breVys 4:12: ''The word of God Is quick. and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, pierc- ing even to the dividing asundcy of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"
 Reading from the Bible include the following passage from Mat thew 1O:2S: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both. soul and body in hell"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: "'Fear him which IS able to destroy both soul and body in he'll said Jesus. A careful study of this text shows that here the word soul means false sense or material consciousness. The command was a warming to be- ware, not of Rome, Satan, nor of God. but of sim All sin Is of the flesh. It cannot be spirit ual, Sin exists here or hereafter only so long as the illusion of mind in matter remains. It is a sense of sin, and not of sinful soul, which is lost. :" (pg. 196:11-15, pg, 31I:9-13).

Sunday School Lesson--- THE CHRISTIAN STEWARD

ilege and responsibility as child
 of God. He taught that we are
 here in this world to do the will
 of our Father in Heaven, and that 1t is only as we discern the will of Sod and obey it in our lives that we can attain the highest life that
 God has for us.
 Life in this sense is a steward
 ship, and Jesus illustrated the real | ity of this relationship to God by various stories of servants, or stewards, and their masters. Here
 in our lesson He likens the King dom of Heaven to a master, about to travel into a far country, who summoned his servants and as- l signed to them trusts and responsi- bilities during his absence. This trust is represented in the form of talents. To one he gave
 five talents, to another two, and to
 another one. When the master re-
 turned, he required an accounting from his servants. The man with | the five talents had used them well and had gained five talents more.
 The man with the two talents, like wise, had been successful and had
 gained two talents. Both received l the commendation of their master. But the man with the one talent
 was very fearful lest he might lose | it; so he hid the talent in the earth. making sure that he would
 have 1t to deliver intact to his
 master when the latter should re- turn.
 Instead of winning the masters approval, he was denounced as a wicked and slothful servant who
 had failed utterly to do his duty. Now, what is the meaning of 1t :?
 First, apparently, the suggestion
 that we are in this world as those
 who have varying powers and re- responsibilities. God does not de-
 mand equal service from us all, either in quantity or in quality,
 for we have not all the same ca- pacity.
 Second, God does require from us service according to our ability. Third, we develop our own pow
 CTS and serve God best in making the highest use of all that we have.
 Fourth, the Christian life of service Is inevitably a life of adventure. If we would gain results we must endure and accept certain risks. Neither our own characters nor
 the world in which We live, so far as we are concerned, can be helped
 and improved by an attitude Of
 caution and fear that withholds us from giving cur proper ser- vice, - Jesus did not introduce into this world a religion for weak lings. He did offer to the world
 religion that could make weak | men strong.
 But the whole purpose of His
 salvation was to develop in men
 strength and courage and the en: ergetic and adventurous use of all
 the powers with which God had
 endowed them in tasks of unselfish
 service and the creation of new world.
