Golden Text—Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful' over a few things, I wnl make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the .10Y sof thy lord,—Matthew 25: 21. ANALYSIS I. THE APPOINTED TASK, 14-18. IL. THE REWARD OP FAITHFULNESS, 19-23.. INTRODUOTION-The parable of they Talents sets Before In another side of the important duty os watchfulness. In. the parable of the. Ten Virgins it was wisdom that was held up for our admiration The virgins were wise and brought oil for their lamps, the oil representing the quiet life of reli- gious devotion. Here, however, it is the active side of watchfulness that is emphasized. The interval is not to be spent in idle dreaming, but in useful work. The two parables therefore illus- trate the character of the wise and faithful servant mentioned in Matt 24: 25. This parable occurs only in Matthew and is to be distinguifshea from the parable of the Pounds in Luke 19: 27. They are alike in that each, refa s. to the i...turn of the Master, but they. differ in the occasion on which each was uttered, while t} e rewards in the two parables differ also. of their Lord. We can understand what this meant ,for these disciples, when we recall the words of. John, "We know that when h'e.shall 'appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." Or consider Paul's words, "to depart and be with Christ, which is far better." • A "Scotch" Joke I. THE APPOINTED TASK, 14-18. 'V. 14. No small amount of the com- merce of ancient times was entrusted to slaves, who were in many cases pru- dent and trustworthy. When the own- er wished to travel to a far country he would leave the management. of I his estate, business, or wealth to the care of such a reliable servant. tinder the figure Jesus -represents his own ab - •sense. He was'going to leave his dis- ciples in a short time, and d he would entrust them with these tasks which lie wished to have performed. ' V. 15. Thetalent was a very large amount, equal td about .one thousand dollars, while the pound in Luke was worth about twenty dollars. In each case the servant receives :a different amount, showing that there is a var- iety of service ex; acted of each. 7n the parable of the pounds the same amount is given to each servant. It may be noted that the word talent has passed into our common speech from the present' passage• V. 16. All go aortia in different direc- tions. Ile that has four talents tra- vels and invests his master's money to such good result that he isable to double the original capital. The sec- ond one, though he has received a smaller amount' yet gains a propor- tional return. "A disciple with great- er and a disciple with smaller endow- ments, labor in the Lord's work with equal love, but the amount of fruit is greater where greeted gifts and graces have been received and employed." V. 18. It was no uncommon thing for people to iii, a hole in the ground and hide their money;' This third ser- vant evidently had no courage, no.:con- fidence ' in himself and no adequate sense of the responsibility of his pos- sessions. He makes no attempt to ren- lance the value of his master's talent. We are not to suppose that the person 'with the one talent is more apt than 'any other to neglect his gift. The point is rathey that faithfulness is ex- , as welleas£from thosed rom thosevwho have ho have emany gifts. II. ,THE REWARD OF-F4ITEFULNESS, 19-23. Chemist Declares . Whisky. First Brewed in Araia, Not Scotland Loudon,—An indignant protest is ex- pected from Scotland as a'_result of the assertion in an official Govern- ment publication that it is not the original home of whisky. According to Francis Tate, a Gov- ernment chemist, woh has written a work called "Alcoholometry," the po- tent beverage was first distilled by the Arabians, at a time when the in- habitants of Great Britain were cloth- ed chiefly in blue dye, Moreover, Obis Saseenach' asserts that it was intro- duced into England under the name of "IJsquebagh" in the 12th century, 100 years before Scotland sampled It. At first it was used purely as medicine, andthe monks, ,who were the only doctors of those days, weih also the founders of the distillery industry.

As in the parable of the Vir- gins, there is here also a reference to the fact that the return of Jesus aright be delayed. In the later days of per- secution when the disciples wege suf- fering from the cruel sufferings which they endured at the hands of their enemies, the time must have often seemed .to'be very long.IVlany began to ask, "Where is the promise of his coming?" V. 20. Each of those who had been faithful conies to report on the results of trading. and they do it in the same 'word. They evidently , found much satisfaction in being able to give in so good an account. If one has perform- ed his task well there is real joy in being able to report it. Several'facts in connection with the reward are to be noted. (1) Each receives the deft - site approval of the Master in the same words, "Good and faithful ser- vant." This comes first; reminding us that there can be few blessings more rich and abiding than to have the approval of Christ. To know that he is pleased with our work is surely enough reward. (2) Each is to have his faithfulness rewarded by being called to new and more honorable tasks. Our abilities are to be all the time growing. The reward of influ- ence is that we get more - V. 3.

Hanson, and the. directors, calls upon motorists to ob- serve the rules of the road and help avoid confusion and accidents. Each year hundreds of minor and many major accidents and fatalities are shown to be the direct result of care- lessness on the part of auto drivers and in an effort to reduce this high toll of property and life the Club urges upon motorists ft) take a little extra 1 care and help make the roads safer. Several simple rules easily remember- ed and important to all users of the highways have been formulated by the Club as follows: Be patient. A few I minutes lost on the road is a small matter compared with a collision or some other sort of accident in which some may be injured or killed and cars wrecked. Time is not so valu- able as to call for recklessness. Never overtake another car unless. the road ahead is clear as this habit has been proved to be the cause of numerous mishaps. Never drive fast at a blind corner or crossing as a head-on collision with a car going in the opposite direction or a meeting with a train is bound to be expensive in more ways thanone, both financially and physically. Care at Curves Always keep on your own side of the road when taking a curve. Give clear signals and know the proper 'one to give at the proper time. This is only being fair to the others on the road. Be courteous. Bad driving manners frequently result in accidents and cer i'tainly do not pay in the long run. Take good care of lights. See that both front and rear are always in good. order and function according to tbe law. This is good protection for your- self and other divers. Pave your brakes inspected regu- larly and take no chances with faulty ones. In the heavy traffic of the sum- mer, especially in the cities when it is necessary to stop very suddenly many times, brakes which do not work are a menace instead of a safety measure. Do not overlook the horn. There is a proper time to sound the horn and only at these times should it be used. It can become a nuisance if used too often. Be careful in parking on hills, the car may run away. The best way to prevent this ia to turn the wheels to- wards the curb so that it Will act as a second brake, her of people have, learned to take ad- milk and eggs and whatever vege-` 'Mme.

There is, a world of truth in the old quota. tion, "Infected teeth are 11 tenants." But it is a poor law that fails to work both ways. And while it is true that diseased teeth disturb the system, 'so also is it true that a system that is not properly fed will bring about tooth -decay. Therefore if you. would have 'good teeth, it is not sufficient tbat you keep them clean—though this is highly important ;it is also neces- sary that yott choose your,'ood care- fully. Immigrants from Italy, Greece, and Balkan States, Poland and Germany, have fine teeth, surprising as this may seem. Investigation of this factor in their lives showed that they have a simple diet, consisting of coarse foods, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and dark bread that is never eaten while it is too fresh. They do not have the same opportunities that we have of indulging in white flour and refined sugar, and they seldom eat candy.

Children are apt to become fond of food that is soft and refuse anything that requires work to eat. Fibrous foods should therefore be introduced sucheas baked potato, baked apple, stewed prunes, green vegetables, peas, carrots, ,as well as tender and finely ground roast beef and lamb cliops. Have you ever heard the old saying, "he who does not mast'cate his food is the enemy of his own 1ife7" The best .thing which the teeth do for us Is to masticate our foot.. This is more important than their appear- nice or anything else about them be- cause mastication is the Rest step in digestion and unless the food Is pre- pared properly our digestive organs gat out of order. Tooth -ache, whip about as unpleas- ant as an:thing'one can think of, has its advantages because it is a danger signal and sometimes we are apt to be a bit careless unless we receive a very emphatic warning. The fact that you have no tooth -ache, however, should not be taken to mean,that your teeth need no attention. Sometimes people have teeth that are gradually undermining their ' heelth_while they are not suspecting danger. They reach middle age and find that not only are their teeth getting past the stage of usefulness, but their general health has suffered as well.

The only thing of supyeme importance is that his heart should, be pure. What God wants in men is not uniformity of creed or ceremony, but symptoms of pyorrhea in your mouth and the time to treat this disease is in its early stages. To avoid pyorrhea one must avoid taking soft, starchy. and getatinous foods, like cake, be- tween meals anti before going to bed; at night. 'Whenever tfiey are taken. they. should be followed by cleansers such as fruit. Cleanliness of the mouth is one of the greatest means of avoitling this disease, Thorough mas- tication helps by increasing the circu- lation in the gums. If you have erred in the matter of diet in the past, the best thing You can do to correct your mistake is to maintain the habit of brushing the gums and teeth after each meal The : ihie Breaks moral courage and religious life. terlal for the development of the the Record The British and Foreign Bible So- ciety ivill present to its annual meet- ing when the Duke of Gloucester is to preside, a report which out -distances all its previous achievements. For the f first time in its history of 126 years no tewer than 12,170,292 copies of the Scriptures have been issued, being an increase of 775,752. Further, the Society is selling more than double the number of copies in the languages of Britain than it sold ten years ago. This year the Society issued over 1,800,000 copies of English and over 60,000 copies of Welsh versions. With the addition of embossed copies for the blind, as well as a few in Gaelic and Irish, a total of over 1,872,000 was reached—an increase of about 130,000. Out of this number the Society is sending abroad—chiefly to the British Dominions -840,000 copies, evidenc- ing the extent to which the Dominions treasure their heritage in the English Bible. In missionary centres China sup- pllee the outstanding instance of the circulation of the Scriptures. Over 6,- 800,000 volumes were printed for the Society in China anti 5,306,000 were actually placed in the hands of the people. The number of languages in which the Society has published the Scrip= tures'now totals 630, and for every month of last Year one new language was added: During the year the Society re- ceived from all sources a record in- come of x2433,013. GOD'S WORLD You are in God's world; you are God's child. Those things you cannot change ;the only peace and rest and happiness for you is to accept them and rejoice in them. When God speaks to you, you must not believe that it is the wind blowing or the torrent falling from the hill. You must know that it is God. You must gather up the whole power of meeting Him. You must be thankful that Iife is great and not little. You must listen as if listen- ing were year life. Anil then, then only, can come peace. All other sounds will be caught up into the pre- vaihng richness of that voice of God. The lost proportions will be perfectly restored. Discord will cease; harmony will be complete. -Phillips Brooks.
