The unfaithful servant is not only re-
proached by his master, but he is ado -
ally punished. Ile uses what he had tail-

faithful one does the work left undone

the reward for doing so.

has powers and abilities and makes
good use of them, to him shall be given
greater possessions. "The candid use
of any faculty increasers its power. The

to overflowing the sphere we are

was unprofitable and idle and buried his

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
1. The talents received. "Received five
talents" (v. 20). "Received two talents"
(v. 22). "Received. the one talent" (v.
24). Any gifthrom Cod which enables us
to bless our fellow men is a talent. No
man according to his several ability" (v.
15). A young girl asked, "What talents
have I?" "At all events two," was
the answer, "leisure and God' word, tizne
and truth. Let these be well used. and
your crowns .will be bright."
If. The talents rewarded, After the rap-
ture, the resurrection and the marriage
supper, the rewards to -the servants seem
to be the next in order (Luke xiv.. le.)
Men are not saved by works, nor Te -
warded because of works, but the prom-
ise is, "Behold, I come quickly, and ley
reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be" (Rev.
=if. 12; Matt. xvi. 27.) Some rewards
of the faithful are.
1. Praise. "Well done, good and faith.
ful servant" (v. 23.) When the Lord
comes, "praise" shall come to each one
from God. (I. Cor. 4, 5. A writer beau -
Wilily says, "The 'well done' of Jesus
crowns the end of the course. Though
often whispered by tho way to the heart
of his faithful ones, its full, public ut-
terance is reserved for the :lay of glory,
pronouuced then by God on ways cons
deemed now by men, ways only the
Spirit of Christ can guide us into, or
the love of Christ makes us happy in, or
the faithful grace of Christ sustain us
in. Oh, to live for that day! This is
faith. This is the single eye. To commit
all to him, sure that we are walking in
the path which the Lord will approve.
His own word is his standard now and
then.
2. Power. "Thou hest been faithful
over a few things, I will make 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 rule in judgment" (Ise. 32, 1). Dan-
iel deelred. "Judgment was given to the
saints the saints possessed. the king-
dom" (Dun. 7, 22). All who suffer with
Christ "shall reign with him" (2 Tim. 2,
12), and all who come up in the first
resurreetion "shall reign with him a
thousand years" (Rev. 20, 6), but not
all have the same place in the kingdom,
there is "one glory of the sun, and an-
other glory of the moon, and another
glory of the stars: and one star differ-
eth from another star in glory" (1 Cor.
15, 41).
3. Pleasure. "Enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord" (v. 2, 3). "Joy 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, i7).
4. Profit. "The talent....give it un-
to him which bath text talent. For un-
to every one that bath shall be given"
(es. Fs, 29). The price of having is us-
ing, in the realm of the physical, the
mental, the spiritual ane the finaecial.

ions the treasures of the spiritual life,
"Man has nothing that he bas not re-
veived, end he has received nothing ex.,

15. Five talents -The value of a talent
has been variously esthete, ted. The eIntr-
has been 'variously eatiniated. The In-
ternational Rible gives the value of a tal-
ent of silver in the Old Testament at
31,140. It has 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
ef value in human nature -physical
health, mental elearnese, education, ener-
gy, faith in God, time, money -that is
not a talent. We shall find that we all
helm 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 hewn enjoyment, enly, 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 tol'e responsible. In
fact, al that we have may be regarded
as talents. Since thie is so, we can
easily see that there is no ono 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 Romans were often
men of great attainments and skill.
"God's graces and teinporal mercies are
suited to the power which a man has of
improving them. To give eminent gifts
to persons incapable of improving them,
would be to lead them into a snare."
10. Then -"Straightway." -R. V. We
are here taught a lesson in promptness.
Went and traded -We now see the use
that the servants made of their master's
goods. Two out of the three improved
upon the trust committed to them. They
were (1) diligent, (2) faithful, (3) they
went speedily, (4) they persevered in the
work, (5) they succeeded. Those who
do best for God succeed. Other Bee-
tle who receives much from God must
make an improvement upon the whole,
while of the one who receives little but
little is required.
38. Digged in the earth -"This is the
peculiar temptation of the man who has
little ability, and he sullenly retires
from a service in which he cannot shine
and play a conspicuous part"; but, al-
, though God may have given to some but
small capabilities, yet the talent that is
given should not be buried. Hid his lord's
money -He did npt embezzle or squander
it, but he hid it. Whatever abilities men
possess are not their own; they are but
stewards and must give an account. How
sad to bury one's talent!
II. Faithful service rewarded (vs. 19-
23). But while this no doubt refers to
his second coming, yet there are many
comings -in the great crises of life, in
tunes of trouble, and especially in the
hour of death. 19. A long time- Time
eitotgli was given for improvement.
Cometh -Christ is certain to come. The
time may seem long, but let us not be
deceived -he is coming again. Reckoneth

vice." I have gamed -Ile had put forth

arms and talk about trusting God will
find, sooner or later, that God does not
help the idler.

world, to be pure and upright within.

Faithfulness rather than success was

A few tbings are given us, all of which
we should use to God's ,glory. Ruler

made ruler over a larger sphere. We
constantly see this illustrated in this
life. Faithfulness in the smaller sphere
ever leads to a larger sphere, to new
activities, to grander opportunities, to
more splendid achievements. Joy of thy
Lord -We are not only to have the joy
of the Lord in as, but we are to enter
into his joy. This is the reward of the
faithful.

A BIG BLAZE.
Detectives Have ,Many
Still Remain
Philadelphia, Oet. 8. -The novel spec-
tacle of 400 women playing detective to
catch a baby murderer is presented by
the boarders of the Women's Christian
Association, at Eighteenth and Arch
streets, who are determined to do every-
thing in their power to solve the mys•
tory of the mutilated little body found
in a trunk in the storeroom of the in-
stitution. The women feel keenly the
reflection upon their organization arid
they have arranged a general conference
for this evening, to which they have in-
vited Deputy Coroner Barton and De-
tective Smythe, who are working on the
case. Every. woman boarding in the
building will constitute herself a detec-
tive, and, in addition, it is proposed
to appoint a special committee, which
will receive reports from the larger body
of residents and hand them over to the
detectives and Coroner's officials, with
whom the members will meet daily to
talk over the clews and outline plans
for subsequent action.
So far as can be learned, the detectives
are now working on the theory that the
murdered babe was born in the associa-
tion's building. They seem to think that
the mother herself, or some one at her hi-
stigation, murdered the infant and then
carried it to the trunk room, where,
packed in a box, it was placed in the
trunk of Miss Elizabeth Smart, one of
the younger women living at the place.
With this theory in view, detectives
are busy running down former board-
ers at ,the association's headquarters.
Their names have been secured from the
register, and, one hy one, their move-
ments from just before they left the
place until the present time, are being
traced. So far, nothing of importance

The police, it is assorted, have learned
that several of the young women board-

boarding lotuses, it is declared, live many
young men, students at the neigbboring

• Cow Testing
Association I
Deer Sir, -Since January, 1006,- six-
teen cow testing associations have been
organized through the initiative of the
Dairy Commissioner's Branch of the
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
Records are being kept of the produc-
tion of 4,500 cows owned by the 350
members of these associations. The re-
sults will be tabulated and .published as
quickly as possible after the season is
finished. This is only the beginnteg of
what should be a great national move-
ment for the improvement •of the dairy
indasetry in Canada. Sufficient ata th
have been collected already to snow
that there is no line of work in the
whole range of dairy effort which is
calculated to increase' the profits of
daily farming to the sante extent, as is
'this matter of the improvement of dairy
herds. In order to serve the purpose
...
eroperly, the .work of record keeping
must be peraistent and continuous, ant(
followed up by intelligent action on the

matter of breeding and selections
Our reeords show that the average
yield of milk in Ontario a,nd Quebec is
not much over 3,000 lbs, of milk per eow
per annoin, yet we find herds of 20
cows and over that. average 5,000 lbs.
ln every instance the herds %Illicit show

built up by just such methods as the
cow testing associations are intended to
pia:mote.
The members of the different Reseda -
Gone have had an excellent opportunity
of eoniparing the eecords from the dif-
ferent sections, ana different herds in
the various associations.
With a view to 'promoting correspond-
ence between the voriOus Members of
the associations, I am authorized by
the Dairy Commissioner to announce
that. Me name and post office address of
the owner of any herd in the records
will be given to any person who applies
for it to the Dairy Commissioner, Oh

kern from the owners of profitable
herds- as to the methods, .by which emit
satimfactory resulte have been readied.
We think the correspondence idea might
be very properly included as a feet:ire
of this work. We trust that owners of
these first-class herds will be good
enough to answer such enquiries in a
Lroadeninded and helpful manner.

REMARKABLE STORY TOLD IN
COURT AT PONTIA.C, MICH.
Detroit, Mich, Oct. 8. -el believe my
mother, Mrs. Hannah Chaffee, is tho
most married xornan in the 'United
States," declared Mrs. Hinny Sherman
in the Probate Court, Pontiac, Mich.,
to -day. "She has had six huebends,
four of whom are still living, and she
thhaesmisecured a divorce from any of
The followirher is a list of the "fath-
ers" Mrs. Sherman says her mother
has provided her with: Joshiali Br ma
Norfolk County, Ontario; Samuel Alien,'
Toronto, Ontario; Robert Pick, Middle- ;
sex County, Ontario; John Horning,
Otterville, Norwich County, Ontario;
Adam Orysler, Pontiac, Mich., and
Francis Chaffee, Pontiac, Mich.
"My mother began, her marrying ca-
reer when she was fifteen years of age
and kept it upuntil three weoks ago,
when she married Mr. Chaffee, her lat-
est husband. She is now 76 years of
age, and once she married a wealthy ,
man, but her stepchildren broke thew '
dead father's will and my mother was
put out penniless. Anything represent-
ing wealth appears to have attracted
my mother and as each venture dis-
closed that the man sho married was
poor, my mother would cause her hus-
band to desert her. Then nothing
daunted, she would immediately set her
cap for it new husband and in a few
weeks I would have another father."
The story of Mrs. Chaffee's matri-
monial ventures came out as a result
of some proper* squabble in the Pon-
tiac Probate Collet. Mrs. Chaffee had
deeded her home to her daughter, Ifni.
Sherman, with the understanding OA
she should retain a life interest in it.
Chaffee did not like this arrangement
and he applied to the court to have the •
deed set aside ana that he be appoint-
ed guardian of his wife. It Wild when
Mrs, Sherman took the stand to tes-
tify in this suit that she told of her
mother's many marriages.
