Go ye also—No word is spoken
about wages. Men who come in so
late certainly have very little to
expect, according to the mercenary
measures of men. They are willing
to get a pittance rather than close
the day with nothing. He who
sends us, forth is qualified to judge
as to the proper remuneration. And
he alone is qualified.
9. They receivadevery man a shil-
ling—The point to keep before us
is that the householder was paying
for work done in his own vineyard,
and was therefore the sole judge of
the value of that work to him. He
did not consider that those who
were pressed in at the last, when
time was precious and the work
crowded, could. with justice be paid
less than a full clay's wage. It was
of no advantage to them that he

necessary to the proper develop -
