GOLDEN TEXT: Matthew 24:44. that can be used to glorify God is, indeed, a talent. 4 Why has not God given the same number of talents to all His stewards? Because God is sovereign and loves to display His sovereignty. He gives the gifts unequally because He loves variety. He gives some men only a few talents because He has so many small spheres that He would have filled; because more than a few would be too many for some; and because in those with the fewest talents He often displays the greatness of His grace in saving souls. Upon the day of reckoning, the goats' indifference and His: moral estimates of His ser- vants, applying the same epi- thets freely whever He finds single-hearted devotion to His cause. . Then too, this master who can only be identified as the Lord Himself, suggests that these tal- ents are only a few things de- signed to lay bare the type of stewards we are. What, then, will the "many things" be? The third servant, however, is declared "wicked and slothful"' for he regarded the single talent as something he did not desire and buried it--not altogether un- CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FIRST CHURCH -- 64 COLBORNE $7.

Or, "Daddy, is God up in the sky?" Little questions of little children grow into big questions by big people. Sometimes the bigger the man, the more humble the question, and of course... directed to God. The place for such questions is the Church. \ Ny Nb oN cigs MINISTER: REV. JOHN K.

It is a store- house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu- larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu- larly and read your Bible daily.
