Laid up in a. napkin -This servant may have been lacking in financial ability, but he was, first of all, un- faithful. He made no attempt to obeY his lord's command.

The convereatiol) of gacchaeus and ell the stir on leave ing Jerleim led many in the erowas to imagine taat jentin wan immedietely etstabliRli vieible kingdom, The disciples etill bad hopes that he weuld glorifiee without a preview; separa- tion from hei own. The teaching of the parable here set forth was meant to coutrovert that error. It placed be. fore the apostles their life calling of perpetuating and eeministrating the affairs of Christ's kingdom, as living tlepoeitories of his truth, a. great and responsible eliarge, Theirs was not to contend with carnal weapote4 against his enemies, but in tbe mike at all eppovition, quietly to proceed with their labor, In the bumble posi- tion „or witnesses to the faith, they multt seek by word and deed to ppread about the gospel of the kingdom, not OXPeeting DrOrnotion Until their life, work Wan aceomplished Thie parable bears on moral quality rather than ability. Its keynote is feithfulness. It contains the divine law of inereaee and decline, the determining o fehartteter and destiny. It portrays God's noVer-. eignty over man's lite, tho eacred charge he lays upon it, els reward of faithfulness and bis penalty al negli- eance, The pound represents the -op, portunity at service which God places within man's react/. for the cultivation of bis own nature, the servicee et :r.an- kind and the worship of God. Hp will determine the measure orsaward by the degree of eidelity, The more faith- ful and devoted the life on earth, the larger the eecompense,• tha, brighter the crown, the broader tee sphere in' the heaveuly -kingdom, Instead of -fos- tering a spirit of self-seeking, Jesus represented the nobleman . in placing In the bandit of each of his nubjects a small sum, nothing to suggest dis- play or awaken pride, but enough to serve.as feet, to put them upon their honor. It waS SlIffIcient capital for his purpose. Ills design was not money -making, but character - making; not to gain by them, but tie educate them; to tty their capacity and fidelity and so reveal Melt, char- ecters; to prepare them for the fu- ture and tcs litt there from being ser- vants to becoming riders,,,What they had to do with the pound was pres- cribed in general terms. The parable sots forth the contrasted results of using or failing to use the allotment, bringing out the facts tbat steward- ship involves great responsibility to another, that to employ well the pre- sent is to command the future, that the secret of all increase is faithful- ness, time every duty faithfully dis- charged is a step toward promotion, that improved opportunities increase capacity to do and to get good, that failure in service results in loss of the faculty to serve, and that the crime of treason. will be perished in the presence of the Ring, II. A. probation. Life Is a probation- ary period on which the larger and more serlotie future depends. The smallness of opportunity will afford no escape from responsibility. No. slavish timidity will excuse tbe most faint- hearted. The servants were to regard their absent Master as already Ring and they were so to conduct his af- fairs among his enemies. as not to compromise their own loyalty to him, The expectancy of his return wassal- ways to influence them. His return was to be the occasion of account and recompense,. when he should give king- doms instead of pounds, receiving the faithful into highest intimacy with himself. The idle servant 'judged him austere. To hint was given the sting- ing rebuke of apostasy. The pound taken from him was not his profit, but his capital. He was the man who had made nothing of life, who had not just sense of his responsibility, whe withheld his powers from the service of his king. His fear was distrust, Jealousy and suspicion, an indisposi- tion for all cheerful, active service. Devoid of love, he vas incapable of service. He lost everything by. an un- believing anxiety to lose nothing. Afraid of doing anything amiss, he did nothing at all.-T,R.A. -• • 4.

Many farmers do not hose ice for set:inner use. bet that is no reason, why they should not have good cold milli to drink and batter produced. Most all know that it is possible to use the well for this purpose and that it is a good substitute for a refrigerator, although it is not to be recommended unIrtesiesrvveedrlyy, easy to lower a pail of Milk or butter into a well by a emelt cord, and leave it there until meal Urn°, Somethnes, though, the pail be- eemes tilted, or, in swinghld about strikes the wall and some milk splash- es out, or dirt and dust off the walls falls into the pall. If this happens very ofter, the water in the well will will soon become polluted and en.tire- er unfitted for domestic purposes, and -accidents are sure to happen if open vessels are lowered singly into a well. Where the well is thus used a cage should be .providecl for holding the milk cans and. butter crocks. This can lie simply done with te wooden box with a ebvering and fastened by ropes whicli can be attached to a windlass at the top of the well. There will be less likelihood of the vessele upsetting if this cage is secured by a rope to each end, rather than a single cord. Tbe milk and butter can be set in this box and easily lowered with- out ant, danger of railk being splashed into the water or of dirt from above falling into the pails. • It would take only a few minutes to fix such an ar- rangement, and it will be a areat say- levrar% teinvelthare Worry all through the 'The greatest danger during thunder- storms is under trees, in strong drafte of air, Dear wire fences, wire clothes- lines, wires attacbed to poles, etc. Barns are struck oftener than houses, and houses oftener than churches.
