thought ot typesandmodelscouutiess in numbei j a lovingcard of remembrance or the pass across the changing scene of earthly life there is the little old fashioned mother who still toils and works nigh and day for her children and there is the more sophisticated modern mother who sees she has time for the almost dally and muchcoveted game of bridge there is the care less mother and the good mother the universal mother but it does not matter in what sta tion of life she walks there is no ouo knows better than she herself what it means to raise a family of 2 3 4 and occasionally tho daily tea party of eleven or twelve children tho home is a factory and its machinery is made up of exceedingly delicate and compli cated mechanism if tho work is well done or ill who knows better than the world

newspaper article that it is most necessary for her to broaden out she is told she should learn about the outside world and its doings or when the family is grown alack and alas her own good husband will not be able to tall to her when they aro old and alone again for shell wake up suddenly to find herself far behind him this is indeed disturbing but the day is only twentyfour hours long and the

den text it is required in stew ards that a man be found faithful 1 corinthians 4 2 analysis i two parables or one ii faithful stewardship iii crowth through use i two parables or oxe it has often een noted that there is a very close connection between this parable of the pounds in luke and the parable of the talents in matt 25 1430 the esemblances are as remarkable as he differences this does not cf itself create serious diffi culty for us for ve might have simp ly two versions of the same parabie the parables must have been told and retold many times before they were written down or there is no reasvi why jesjs himself should not have used two very similar parables or ths same parable with variations a much greater difficulty in the parable of the pounds lies in his that ap- p- iitlv we have two stories mixed together one s a story of a noble- nan who goes far away to be made king as for instance nobles of pales tine not infrequently wert to rome to receive their title from the imperial city it this story the noblemans fellowcitizens do not want him to be made ting and send a deputation to protest he on his return has to deal with the malcontents in the second story a man goes away and leaves some of his capital with his servants that chcy may trnde with and on his return he deals with them according to their faithfulness their trust the two stories have really very little connection and he careful reader will notice that vs 13 14 do not go to gether one is about servants the other about citizens it is not pos sible to solve this difficulty with cer tainty we may either suppose that two separate narables of jesus have here been rather clumsily combined into one or we may suppose that he original parable of jesus as in the case of the parable of the talents was concerned with faithful stewardship ii faithful stewardship in v 13 there are ten servants but we learn the fate of only three as in the parable of the talents this is not a matter of importance it is import ant hovevor that in this parable each servant receives the same sum ii is presumably the servants capa city that the master wishes to test the sum entrusted is a remarkably small one the mina or pound was only worth some twenty dollars v 1g we should remember that this i a parable or story taken from ordi nary everyday life one cannot argue from the story that jesus approved of what we today call capitalism or that christians are justified in speculating in the stock market we should have expected v 17 to say because you have been faithful in little you shall be entrusted with much it seems strange that a man should be rewarded with ten cities for his faithfulness in respect of twenty dollars perhaps the reference to cities is connected with the other story of the nobleman not the master who goes away to get a kingdom v 21 the servant tells his master that he is well known or his sharp practices to take up what you did not lay down was a proverbial ex pression for fraudulently appropriat ing the fruits of another mans labor this verse then makes it very clear that the parable is not an allegory and that neither god nor christ cor respond with the master the story illustrates the duty of faithful stew ardship not the character of god nor his attitude to his children iii crowth through use v 24 perhaps the speakers here are the crowd vho are listening to jesus they have been following the story with conviction for they have known hardheaded austere business men of this type and the story rings true to them till jesus says tale women journalists have
