Two Ways Of Wasting

There are two ways of beng
prodigal or wasteful. One is to use
up and destroy what might have
been saved. If you let good farm
machinery sit around in the rain
till it rustS, you are wasting equip
ment. If you use expensive butter
for a job a little bacon grease will
do just as well. you are wasting
the butter. If you are general
and order a useless assault IN
which thousands of men needleSsly
lose thir lives, you are wasting hui
man life. All these Wasteful acts,
great and small. are done in the
same way. essentially by throwing
away or spelling what might have
been saved and use. Another way
of wasting is just not to use what
is there to use, something which if
you do not use now you will never
have the chance to use again. An
example of this is water power.
The river flows on its way deVel-
oping so many horsepower with
every mile: if these are not used
today. tomorrow the horsepower
today's horsepoWer-Will be gone.
You waste water power not by de-
stroying it but by failing to use it.
The Younger Son
Now in Jesus famous parable,
the two sons were both MASTERS.
but in opposite ways. Take the
younger one: Give me q. he said.
and off he went A young fortune
was in his hands: but he threw it
away. he was through with it. he
was through. period" in no time.

The Older Son

But that older boy-he too was a
waster. Only he wasted in the other
way. not by destroying but by not
using There seems to be some
thing deeply sad in the fathers
simple saying: Son. you are al
ways with me. and all that is mine
is yours. This was true-and yet
the son had made it untrue. You
are always with me"-so near, and
vet so far away. None Of the ia
theirs spirit had penetrated the
boys mind. He was physically at
home yet spiritually stranger. He
too. in a different way, had lived
like an orphan. Every day there
was open to him a fathers heart,
a fathers sympathy, a fathers
wealth: but he never took it. If for
the younger boy there was waste
bv-destruction. for the older there
was Waste-by-neglect. Did the ia
Their forgive this son too? The story
does not say. The impression most
people get is perhaps what Jesus
intended to suggest: The father
was ready to forgive each son; but
the younger son was forgiven. be-
cause he had come to himself, "
he had confessed his wrong. The
older son was not $50 far as the
story takes us) forgiven, because
he did not seem to be conscious Of
having done anything wrong. OF
course he was the type of the
Pharisees: but the Pharisees are
not dead. In the church and out
there are correct, respectable citi-
zens who know nothing Of Gods
love for their lost brothers, and so
have never known the God they
officially call Father" God will
forgive such a man too; but per
haps he seldom does, for such a
man seldom thinks he needs it.
