He speaks of a time to be born, and a time to die; a Urne. to plant, and a timne to reap. We realize that this is time over which we have no control. We do not choose to be born, nor can we stop the seasons. There is a time, liowever, over which we can and must exercise clioice* This is the time of dur- ation between the beginning of life and the coming of death; be- tween the beginning of an op- portunity and the end of an op- portunity. Unless we face the challenges of life as they~ arise we mnay lose that whidh is of greatest value. Jesus said to his disciples, "Walk wvhle you have light, lest darkness come upon An epitapli being placed on a tomb-stone read, "Born a humai- being, died a wholesale grocer." When asked about this wlsh, to 'have this strangce epitaph as a re- minder of his life the man re- plied, "I was so busy selling groceries that 1 did net lhave trne to get married and have a famîily; to travel, even thougli I had the mnoney to do it; to enjoy' drama, lectures, concerts or read.! in,,: to be a part of community service; to accept political res- ponsibility or to seek meaninga in religion. AIl were crowded out by. business." So often the beautifuli and hielpful thîngs of lîfe are missed because we have not been good stewards of our time. An Aecounting One of the un!chaqngeable facts of life is that w must giv-e an a-ccounting of our use of time wihether it be soon or late. The, Bible pts it very plainly, "Be not d-eeved;, God is flot mocked: for wha-_tsoever a: iman seweth, tha",t shah h le also rca>,p." One of the stor*ies associated wihthe lifeý and wýisdomi of King Solo0man telîs how the king summoned two skihed craftsmen and instructed eachi to build for hlm a rooma of unequalled mag- nificence. The workmen could re- quest for his use any material no matter how costly. They were to have a period of six mnonths in which to do the work, at the end oif which the work wouild be ex- amnined by Sollomnan and if satis- factory, a generous reward would be given. One craftsmnan was diligent and îmimediately requisitionied costly materials, precious jewels and deictey oven fabrics. The oth- er craftsmian was lazy. Two monhs assdthen five. The diligent workman wsnearing the compýleton but the other had just realized how; little time was left. H1e was filled wîth dismay, thien panic siezed himn. What could le do? Then he thougît of a plan whereby he miglit deceive the king.
