BatktrauS Lake 1S:1-S1: Btadlast X Corinthians 9:1640.

Faithful in Little Leeson fer February 26, 1958

EVERYBODY has some kind of a chance in thia world. We all sometimes think we would do better if we had the same chance the next man has; but we may be deceiving ourselves. Jesus tells a story about three men each of

man did not even try. What if he had tried? Considering the sort of man he was, a pessimist and a self-confessed coward, it can be doubted whether he would have been able to do as well as the other two did. At any rate, Jesus calls our attention first of all to the fact that even if everybody had an equal chance, not everybody would do equally well with it

emttfw We call persona “gifted” when they have some remarkable talent or ability. When we say this. We mean, or we ought to mean, that a man’s capacities are not his own invention, they are God’s gifts. Two thoughts go together . here and must not be separated: < the first is that what we have to start with and the opportunities which Ufa brings us along the way, are really gifts of God. The other thought is that God expects us to develop these gifts, take adi vantage of these opportunities, do ! something with what we have. Caruso the famous tenor said once, modestly, that he deserved no credit for his magnificent voice. I He was bom with an extraordinary muscular development in his ; vocal cords, something possessed ' by few men. Most men could not ' be Carusos no matter how hard they try. On ths other hand, if ; all Caruso had deme was lust to take his throat for granted, never learn -singing, never go through the long discipline of the operatic star, the, world would never have been thrilled by that golden voice. God's gifts plus our work, that is the divine plan. Nothing Too Snail AU this is simply the principle which the church calls “stewardship." It is simply recognizing that what God gives’ us, we are expected to use and make the most of, in his service. The trouble right here is that most of us ! are rather like-that third man in Jesus* parable. We see these big, able people going “great guns," • we see what wonderful things others are doing, and we know very weU we can’t do anything like i that ... so we don't try to do[ anything. Now it should be noted that in this little story, the returning king does not say to the second man, who made only five pounds, “You rascal, why didn't! you make ten like this other man?" On the contrary he is pleased with the man, promotes him. What God really despises Js not smaU results; what he detpises is refusing to try. We are not reasonable before God for not being brighter or stronger than we are. We are responsible for what we do with such ability as we have, whether small or great In the Church See how this works out in the life of the church. A superintendent asks a girl to take a children’s class. Oh no, she can’t do it she| says, backing away. She hasn’t had experience, she isn’t a professional school teacher, she hasn’t had a lot of education, she isn’t like that brilliant Mrs. So-and-So who was suqh a whiz of a Sunday school teacher for twenty years. So what? Suppose she’s not a topnotcher? She has had little brothers and sisters, she can learn the Bible, she loves her Savior and she loves children too. Stewardship, for that girl, is not what she can do with Mrs. So-and-So's brains and experience, it’s what she is willing to do with her own. Or take a man who is elected to a minor position in the church. He doesn’t think he catt do much in that office, so he declines it But the question still is—not what can he do with an office he doesn’t have? But what will he do with the office he does have? Another man does not contribute to the church because he has next to nothing he can give. He is afraid of comparisons. But God does not ask? How do you compare? Only: Are you faithful? WSCS annual birthday party Thursday at 7:30 in the church annex. “God is the Answer", worship Him at home every day and at church every Sunday.

An Appeal To Fathers Rev. J. R. Meadows That boy of yours is trying to walk in hie father’s footstspe. You want him honest, truthful and fair. Where can he learn these virtues better (han in the home and in Bunday school? “Why should I go to church on Sunday while Dad plays golf or takes the auto out?” Many a youth has asked hUhself this. Take him to eburch. Lessons learned in youth will never leave him. Give him the best possible moral foundation. He will go to church most willingly if you go also. Go to church next Sunday and set that example before your boy. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, be will not depart from it.”—Proverbs 22:6.
