Their "power" was "little" enough, but such as it was, it was all God's and his Christ's forever. If I Only Had Millions. Now here is a message for all those o:f us--and we are the great majority--who have only a "little power," of either fortune or ability, ability, to do the things which we would like to do. If I only had millions of dollars, what institutions would I build for the uplift of mankind. If I had only been born to some position-- position-- of great distinction, what would I not do for the restoration of the ignorant, the unfortunate and the oppressed ! If I only had the natural gifts of a Webster or a Gladstone, to what great works of political reform and social redemption redemption would I not stir the multitudes multitudes ! So do we argue with ourselves, ourselves, and discovering that we have no wealth nor influence nor abandon all hope and eventually all desire observing hu manity. Like the man with the one talent in the parable, who was dis- r couraged because he h*4 _ pot. nve talents, or even two, we hide jvvay the "little" that we have and become become content to live an absolutely unproductive and unserviceable Not so, howeVe£j_if . we would really keep the wbrd of God, and not deny His holy name 1 Our of position and personality personality may be as little as you please. We may have as near to nothing wherewith to serve the world as the Christians in ancient Philadelphia. Still must we g ive the little that we have as faithfully faithfully and courageously as though we had everything., that fortune and ability could offer. No Life Is So Poor and Mean but what it can do something for the larger and deeper interests ol humanity, and whav_it cap. do^ must do ! What we have, however small, is essential to • the whole. What we do/'however trifling, proffers proffers a service which otherwise goes undone. What we give however little, meets a want which can be met, perhaps, in no other way.

Whether the loans are on the purchasing of land only or for financing farm operations "In gathering this information they conferred with bankers, busi- ness men, lawyers, registry office officials and prominent farmers- As is well known, men of thid type are usually in close touch with the con- ditions of their communities, hot. by reason of their position and by reason of the fact that they have Î lived a long time m the district.
