LESSON VIII
STEWARDS IN THE KINGDOM
Matthew 24, 25
Printed Text. Matt. 25:14.277
Golden Text: ••-- ''Wert done, good
and faithful servant." Matt. 25:21.
TH.I LE `ON IN ITS SETTING
Time -- Tuesday of 1'ass)o:
Week, A.D. 1.6.
Pure • The liMount of Olives.
This lesson gives us a new corn
ceptiou of the infinite wisdom anis
knowledge possessed by Christ con-
cernitng the future. His prophecies
have been fulfilled, and are being
fulfilled throughout the age. The
one fundamental theme running al:
through the 011vet discourse is the
coming of the Son of man, as in-
dicated by the recurrence of such
phrases as the sign of thy coin-
ing."
„
The questions asked by the dis-
ciptcs in this cl_aeter have troubled
the minds of men in every age. Je-
sus made a prophetic pronounce-
ment concerning the characteris-
tics of four different spheres during
the long period between his depart-
ure and his return. Nothing has ta-
ken place daring nineteen hund-
red years in these four spheres to
contradict in any way the startling
statements of the Lord. He pre-
dicted that "the end of the age"
would be a time of disillusionment,
of expectancy, of confusion in the
:minds of men, when multitudes
would be looking for deliverance.
PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
Matt. 25:14. For it is as when a
man, going into another country,
Called his own servants, and deliv-
ered unto them his goods. 15. And
unto one he gave five talents, to
another two, to another one; to
each according to his several abil-
ity; and he went on his journey.
16. Straightaway he that received
the five talents went and traded
with them, and made other fire
talents, 11. In like manner he also
that received the two gained other
two. 18. But he that received the
one went away and digged in the
earth, and hid his lord's money. 19.
NOW after a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and maketh
a reckoning with them. 20. And he
that received the five talents came
and brought other five talents, say-
ing, Lord; thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: lo, I have gained other

well done, good and faithful
servant: ,thou has been faithful
over a few things, I will set thee
over many things; enter thou into
the e •y of thy lord. . And he also
that received the two talents cameo
and said, Lord, thou deliver'edst
unto me two talents: lo, 1 have
gained other two talents. 23. His
lord said unto hied, well done, good
and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I
will set thee over :tny things; en-
ter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24.
And he also that had received the
one talent came and said, Lord, I
knew thee that thou art a hard
man, r • leg where thou didst not
SOW, and gathering where thou dict
not scatter; 25. and 1 was afraid,
and went away and hid my talent
in the earth; lo, thou hast thine
own. 26. But his lord : nswered and
said unto hire, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that
I reap where I sowed net, and gath-
er where I did not scatter; 27. thou
oughtest to have put my money to
the bankers, and at my coming 1
should have received back mine
own with interest. In this famous
parable of the talents vhich migbt
really be called "the parable of the
lord and his servants," we sbould
remember that a talent in those
days was the equivalent of about
twelve thousand dollars. The re-
ward in the case of the mat with
fire talents committed to .him and
in the case of the mail with two le
exactly the same. The reward of
service is apportioned according to
fidelity to opportunity, In the ease

goods of the absent Lord are his re-

Canadians On The ice In Battle Dress
The Canadian Expeditionary Force hockey team, which has been
.formed by Canadian oidiers now training in England, were so rushed
for time when they visited Empress Hall for a workout that they took
to the ice in battle dress. Here one or the Canadians is "on the rust!'
with a young figure skater as a partner.
No matter how many books she
has read or speeches she has lis-
tened to on how to be charming.
no woman ever will be untl she
has a truly kind and understand-
ing attitude toward the people
she knows and those she meets.
The only kind of charm worth
bothering with springs straight
from the heart. You can't strike
an attitude of chars: and be con-
vincing.
The Really Charnain.g Woman -
Nor can real charm be turned
off and on to sul: the eccasion
or your particular mood, asserts
Alicia Hart, beauty columnist. if
you are a chine -fling person, you
are a kind person and, with rare
exceptions, you are kind all the
time. The really charming woman
can no more help being kind than
the woman without charm car,
help being cruel in little waye and
sometimes in big ones.
Kindness, and therefore charm,
come with understanding of the
short -comings of human nature.
And it's as great a mistake to see
only the good side as it is to see
only the bad. By all means see the
good. But see the '•bad, too. pfd,

Apart from these gammon met-

to war production. Radium, beryl-

Back en September the average

Now it's an widen able fact that

BOOST PRODUCTION
Urging Ontario farmers to strive
for greater production to meet war-
time needs, W. R. Reels, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture, has warn-
ed the Ontario Agricultural Council
that such increase could only be
attained successfully by increasing
yields on the laud now under cult!,
vatiou.
"Concentrate on good land and
good seeds," he advised. "In this
way you can increase production
Without breaking more land, thus
avoiding the difficulty of trying to
farm marginal lauds."
VALUE QF MANURE
Manure is not in itself a balanc-
ed fertilizer, being very low in
phosphorus, but it contains notable
amounts of nitrogen and potash,
and these axe present chiefly in
the liquid portion which too often
is allowed to leach away. Apart
from its' value as a source of plant
food, manure possesses other virt-
ues. It improves the texture and
moisture -holding capacity of soil
and builds up the humus content,
and also introduces the beneficial
bacterial organisms which in the
known and unknown ways promote
favourable biological and chemical
processes in the soil.

Production of cotton by the en-

was roughly 25 per cent. less thou
in the previous season. World pro-
duction dropped from 36,784,000 to
27,407,000 bales, a decrease of ee377-
000 bales. The greater portion of
this decrease occurred in the unit-

reduction in acreage and partly to

Decoy Is Used
To Rescue Dog
Patrolman Allen Chester of Ton-
awanda, N.Y., believes he has a
"sure-fire" method of rescuing ice -
marooned dogs—simply send an-
other one out .on the ice.
Unable to find means of trans-
.portation to reach a puppy strug-
gling aimlessly in Niagara River
last week, Chester attached a- rope
to another dog, then waved the
animal out on the ice.
The decoy dog's appearance ar-
oused the endangered puppy, wbic'lt
pronn.ptly struggled to firm ice, As
Chester pulled the decoy toward
shore, the puppy followed, barely
able to wag its tail.
