THE PRACTICE OF CHRI8TIAN
STEWARDSHIP
1 . i
UBS SON TEXT—Matt. «:1«-S0.
GOLDEN TEXT—Thou h t b n
fiitltful over law thln*«, I will ro K
ch« rultr over many thin**. Enter
thou Into the Joy of thy Lord.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of the
Three S«rvmr.* .
JUNIOR TOPIC—Three Stewards and
Hew They Kept Their Trust.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—What It Mean* to Be a Steward.
TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—The Scope and Spirit of Chrletlan
Stewardship.
Stewardship here l&crudes oneself
and substance. Stewardship in money
Is only a small part of our responsi-
bility. This parable like that of the
ten virgins Is associated with the sec-
ond coming of Christ In both in-
stances the unpreparedness for His
coming on the part of the people is
exhibited. In that of the ten v!rglns
their unreadiness consisted In their
failure of inward life—absence of the
Holy Ghost. In this of the talents It
consisted In their failure to properly
use the gifts which had been en-
trusted to them. The first was fail-
ure to watch; the second was failure
to work. By talents Is meant what-
ever gifts and powers one possesses
as gifts from God, whether of nature
or grace, auch as strength, reason, en-
ergy, knowledge, Influence, time,
money, ability to speak, sing, etc.
1. The Dletrlbutlon of the Talents
(vv. 14, 15).
L It was a sovereign act. He
called his own servants and distrib-
uted to them his own money. As the
One who created us and absolutely
owns us, He has assigned us our
places and given us our several pow-
ers, Intending that we put them to the
best possible use.
2. It was an Intelligent act "Ac-
cording to his several ability." The
God who made us knew our ability u>
use gifts, therefore has made the dis-
tribution upon that basis.
3. It was a purposeful act. The
talents were given to be traded with.
They were not given to be used for
one's own gain and profit, but as slock
in trade for the enrichment and glory
of the Master.
II. The Employment of the Talents
(vv. 16-18).
L All the servants recognized that
the talents were not their own—that
they were responsible to the Lord for
th£,use made of tbem.
2. Two servants used their talents.
The five-talented man put his to use
and gained Uve more. The two-tal-
ented man put his to use and gained
two more. This shows that God's
gjfti can be increased. The exercise
of any gift lnerewsee It. The faithful
use of what wt: have In the place we
are will prepare us for greater useful-
ness and honor.
3. The one hid his talent. The fact
that one possenxes but one talent
should not discourage him, but shoulif
make him strive harder. God does not
reward according to what we possess,
but according to our faithfulness. The
crime of the one talented man w
not that he had but one talent, but
that he hid the talent which the l.orij
gave him.
III. The Accounting for the Talents
(vv. 19-80).
1. Its certainty. There is a day
coming when we all must give ait ac-
count of our stewardship.
2. The time. This will be at the
coming of the Lord if we have done
>vell, we shall then have praise. If
we have been unfaithful, we shall (hen
be cast out from the presence of the
Lord.
3. The Judgments aunounred.
(1) Reward of the faithful, (a)
Praia#-—"Well done.'' We all like to
be praised. From childhood on
through life commendation Is pleas-
ing. (b) Promotion—"Be thou ruler
over many thingB." Promotion is de-
sirable to all. (c) Kntrnnce upon the
Joy of the Lord. The five talented
man and the two talented man re-
ceived the same praise and the same
promotion.
(2) Punishment of the faithless.
Tlvt one talented inan lied when
brought te account. The talent when
dug up was not the same as when l!
was burled—It was not of the same
weight. Gifts unused are lost (a)
Reproach—he was called slothful and
wicked. To be called lazy is a re
preach which even the lazy man die
likes (b) Stripped—the talent which
was given to him was taken from him.
(e) Cast out—he was condemned on
his own ground. The very fact that
he knew the character of the Lord
^fiould have been an incentive for btui
to have exerted himself.

Made Bright, Energetic By A
Black-Draught, Says
Gadsden Lady.
"Ever since I have known
about Black-Draught," says ™
Mrs. Delia Mayben, of Gads- f
den, Ala., "it has been my
regular standby for Indiges-
tion and constipation.
"I first used Black-Draught
fourteen years ago. At that
time, I was suffering with a
bad case of swelling across
my abdomen. Every bite I
ate disagreed with me, and 1
had very severe headaches.
"I decided to try Black-
Draught. 1 was truly aston-
ished at the quick relief. In
a few days, I began to feel
like a different woman. In-
stead of being dull and list-
less, I began to feel bright
and energetic.
"From that time on, I have
rarely been without a box of
Black-Draught in my house."
25 cents. Insist on the
genuine.

who some time ago contracted for the

LOG, EATS ANYTHING
"After taking Adlerika 1 can eat
anything and sleep like a log. I had
gas on the stomach and couldn't keep
food down nor sleep." (signed) R. C.
Miller. ONE spoonful Adlerika re-
moves GAS and often brings surpris-
ing relief to the stomach. Stops thai
full, bloated feeling. Often brings
out old waste-matter you never
thought was in your system. Excel-
lent for chronic constipation.
