There is more of hope for human progress in it than ir any of the countless treaties upon Bol- shevism and less extreme forms of socialism. Suppose we first of ail quote the parable itself, from the Weymouth Translation: -- "Why, it is like 2 man who, when going on his travels, called his bond- servants and entrusted his property to their care. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one--to each according to his indi- vidual capacity; and then started from home, Without delay the one who, had received the "five talents went and employed them in business, and gained five more.

JOHN~LIVERPOOL , 28/Mar. 26 , ane 2 Whose Money Was It. According to the most advanced of modern theories, this householder i had no right to possess money of his own. The same state of mind de- nies God any sovereign or proprie- tary rights in human life. But the words of Jesus are explicit: it was his own money that the man in the story distributed to hss own servants for his own purposes. Property, like lite, must be enhanced or it will de- teriorate. The three servants had vagying ca- pacity, even as have every group of men today. To say that we are all equal in character and in possibility 11s to flout the plain facts of life. If human beings did not differ greatly, | Lenine and Trotzky would not be { running and ruining Russia today. The master in the parable knew his men, and he was fair to them all; for he gave each as much ag he could handle. What a blunder it would have been to have entrusted the five talents to the one-talent man! Each was given the opportunity to fulfill a trust, and to prove his powers. With all the unsocial gelf- ishness that there is in the world today, it {s nono the less true that many business men care more for their achisvements than for their 'gains. The work means more than the dividends. As a friend said re- eently, himself a man of large busi- ness responsibilities, when we were discussing certain commercial fail- ures: "It isn't the money that mat- ters; it ls life, life, life! that these men have put into their work.

One does more for all the world by living a true and growing life [than by joining any party or society, {or by subscribing to any set of dog- ; mas.

So it went out into the field and barked and bayed at the moon: but the moon simply kept on shining. Puny minds ery out in protest against God: but God keeps right on being God, and judge of all the earth. Secornful and impious young people, who have been "emancipated" from the old faith, laugh at the idea of God and a reckoning. Today is their turn to laugh; tomorrow, as said the Psalm- shall laugh." that we are -servants of the living God, and that a reckoning with Him is one of the sure and inescapable things. "A Better Man That His Dad." Unless my sons bécome bettér men than I am, both they and I must be written down as failures. "He is not the man his father was," we sometimes hear of a youth: and con- demnation could not be severer. Sons should be improvements upon fathers to vindicate the divine principle of the increaSe of the talents. That is the way the kingdom comes, Not better laws, but better people, make a better state of society. What alls prohibition enforcement? Simply the fact that a multitude of the peo- ple are not up to the level of the law; and no law ever attaing higher plane of fulfillment than the senti- ment of the men and women to whom it applies. Some silly folk think that if we adopted the soviet form of gov- ernment our ills would vanish. * Ab- surd. What we need is 4 higher grade of ipdividual life, such as the Sunday school is seeking everywhere to produce. ' Like all the words of Jesus, this parable compacts exhaustless wise dom, It points the way to the king- dom's coming; and it points the way also to individual improvement. enlarge and multiply your talent, Whatever that be, When we have five-talent .nen increased by fidelity and efficiency to ten-talent men we are, obviously, lifting the common level of society up to a tem-talent scale. All the best of human quali- ties--initiative, courage, application, fidelity--are called into being and developed by the talent-increasing person. How is this land of ours growing? The story is being repeated every day on every hand. One ambitious person succeeds: it may be a work- ing girl who introduces into her home better furniture, a plano, and a more careful manner of dress and conduct. The whole:family is lifted up to her level. His neighbers emu. late the family's example, and pianos are heard up and down the street. Books and reading and az finer social code follow. The men must earn more to maintain the scale of life. Relatives are drawn into the process. Every one, of us has seen meighbor- hoods and families so lifted up mere- p one person's-employing his or her own talents to the full, As yet socialism has found no substitute for this tested process of democracy, When the Auto "Knocks."'
