STEWARDSHIP IS EXPLAINED B V A . BIBLEEXPERT Dr. Gilroy Draws Thoughts From a Discussed Question. The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 6. The Practice of Christian Stewardship. Matt. 25:14-28. By Wm. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor o£ The Congregationalist The practice of Christian stewardship implies different things to different Christians. Some understand by Christian stewardship the matter of tithing and t hey give one-tenth of their income to religious objects as a duty and a Privilege. They think of that oneenth as definitely belonging to God. t is a debt which they feel the obltition to pay that they would attach to any debt. There is nothing to he said against uch a practice. It provides a care ■ nd discipline that are strengthening to character, and it is usually accomlanled with a general conception and ractice of thriftiness toward God ind man. Larger Obligation | If there Is anything to be said •oncerning the practice, it is only from the standpoint of a Christian conception which implies a larger and not a lesser obligation than that of tithing. Tithing in itself is primarily a Jewish rather than a Christian practice. The Christian conception is that the whole life belongs to God, and that all that one possesses must be brought under the law of Christian consecration. The principle, however, as it Is -worked out in life. Is apt to become somewhat vague, and there is danger that we may make this general consecration an excuse for the lack of actual giving. Those who criticise tthe methods of tithing might Veil examine themselves to see whether in their own lives they have established any larger or better principle. Not only do men belong to God but it is only as they recognize this that they can come into their true place in God’s world. For it should be recognized that if we belong to God, God also belongs to us, the treasurers of his love and grace, the world of his gift, and all that his (gifts imply—all this is the heritage of man. Greater Chances Our lesson warns us particularly of the way in which stewardship applies to every life. It is so easy for us to shirk our duty because our capacities are so slight and our privileges and opportunities so meager. We are apt to envy the five and ten talent men, to dream of all the woni derful things that we would do if we ‘ had greater abilities or larger ops portunities. Much of the great work of the world has, in fact, been accomplished by men of genius, but it is surprising to discover how often the supposed genius of men who have accomplished great things has been little more than a consecration to the things which they have achieved. Extending Ourselves The history of Christian enterprise is the story of how God has used people of one talent to perform fivetalent tasks. This is the great lesson of stewardship. There is no life, however narrow its environment, however meager its capacities and possibilities that cannot be vastly enlarged through the consciousness and practice of stewardship through the consecration of the soul of God. The supreme danger of life is not the danger of using our talents amiss, it is the - danger of not using our talents at all.
