III OCT 21, 1000 thinks his demands are ,severe and that he is difficult to please. The servant, conscious of his own wrong, comes filred with excuses and undertakes to lay the blame of his own actions back on his master. Thus do men think of God as a Bard Master, and try to throw on Him the 'blame of their own wrong doing. The Parable.of the Talents; Matt. 26: 14-70.

Five talents -The value of a talent has been variously estima ted. The eIntr- has been variously estimated. The In- ternational Bible gives the value of a. tal- ent of silver in the Old Testament at $1,146. It bas been estimated as low as $972. The talents represent all of those peculiar gifts which God has given us in this world. "There is not a single item of value in human nature -physical health, mental clearness, education, ener- gy, faith in God, time, money that is not a talent. We shall find that we all have more talents than we had supposed. The power of speech is a talent. The ability to do good deeds is a talent. Hands. feet, eyes, ears, heart, mind, are all talents. God gave them to us, not for ou rown enjoyment, only, but that we might use them for the welfare of others and for his glory. Personal attractive- ness is a talent. Money is a talent; for its right use we are responsible. In fact, al that we have may be regarded as talents. Since this is so, we can easily see that there is no one in the world who has not some talent. We are more like millionaires than we had thought.' His severe ability -the slaves of the Greeks and omens were often thought." he lied gained; God always liberally bre- wards all who ,serve Him. 25, I was afraid -All sinners are 'afraid. Our first relents were afraid when they disobeyed. Fear caused this servant to hide the talent his lord had entrusted to him;and now that he comes empty-handed he has double reason to fear. Thou hast thine own, (R. V.)- He seems to boast of his honesty and uprightness. 26. Wicked and slothful servank His master was not to be tri= fled with. The servant had been, 1. Idle and unprofitable. 2. Ungrateful, 3, The little work he had done, in digging to bide the money, was strength worse than wasted. 4. Be had entertained hard thoughts and said false things about his master. Thou knewest-Out of thine own mouth shalt thou be judged. 27. Thou oughtest-The fact that he knew what his master required was a reason why he should have used the tal- ent. God appeals to us as "reasonable" beings and tells us what we "ought" to do. Exchangers -"Bankers." -R. V. Literally, "to those who stand at tables," because the bank had tables before them. -Carr. With interest (R. V.) His master had a. right to 'expect a reasonable profit from the labors of his servant. 28 -Thee talent from him - The unfaithful servant is not only re- proached by his master, but he is actu- ally punished. He uses what he had fail- ed to use. Give it unto ]tine -Here is another reward of faithfulness. The faithful one does the avork left undone by the unfaithful servant, and receives the reward for doing so. 29. Shall be given -The one who real- ly has powers and abilities and makes good use of them, to him shall be given greater possession. "The candiduse any faculty increases its power.

A writer beau- tifnlly says, "The 'well done' of Jesus crowns the end of the course. Though often whispered by aha way to the heart of his faithful ones. its full. public ut- terance is reserved for the clay of glory, pronounced then by God on ways con- demned now by men, ways only the Spirit of Christ can guide ns into, or the love of Christ makes ns happy in, or the faithful grace of Christ sustain us in, Oh, to live for that day! Thiw is faith. This is the single eye. To commit all to him, stare that we are walking in the path which the Lord will approve. His own word is bis standard now and then. 2. Power. "Thou hast been faithful over a few things, T will snake thee ruler over many things" (vs, 21, 23). This is not symbolic but actual. It is the Father's good pleasure that the trans- lated and risen saints should share with Christ the active administration of his kingdom in governing the world. (Luke 12 32). Isaiah prophesied, "A king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rale fn judgment" (Isa. 32. 1). Dan- iel declared. "Judgment was given to the eaints,...th.e saints possessed the king- dom" (Dan. 7. 22). All who suffer with Christ "shall reign with ]tine" (2 Tim. 2, 12), and all who come up in the first resurrection "shall reign with him a thousand years" (Res, 20, 6), but not all have the same place in the kingdom, there is "one glory of the sum. and an- other glory of the moon, and Another glory of the stars; and one star di•ffer- eth from another star in glory" (1 Cor. 15. 41). 3. Pleasure, "Enter not into the joy of thy Lord" (v. 2,•3). ".Toy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Pet. 1, 8). Part of the joy Jesus promised• was the joy of the Father's approval (Matt. 3, 17). 4. Profit. "The talent... .give it un- to him which hath ten talents. For un- to every one that hta.th shall be given" (vs. 28, 20). The price of having is "us- ing, in the realm of the physical, the mental, the spiritual and' the financial. e 1 Take It Away. N. Y. Sun.)

How many women do you blow who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the sante story over and over again. " I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time ! " €ss Clam &orihten r, ateessa More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe- male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing -down pains, flatulency, nervous- ness sleeplessness or other female weakness. These symptoms are bat warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never -failing remedy for all' these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg- etable Compound. Miss Clara Beaabien, of Beauport, Quebec, writes Dear lairs. Pinkham : "For several years I have suffered with a female weakness which proved a serious drain on my vitality, sapping my strength and causing severe headacl es bearing -down pains and a general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live.
