Golden text—"It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful."—I Corinthians iv.2. Mother's Day finds us studying a lesson that recalls the teachings we received from our first instructor in religion. Every mother has prayed and sought to inspire in her children a de- sire to be faithful to God in all things. This pasic teaching that we early learned from our mothers is the theme of the parable we are called upon to study. Jesus found in the excitement and expectancy of His disciples while He | was in Jaricho a necessity to correct their views in reference to the coming of the kingdom because “they sup- posed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.” 1In all prob- ability the foundation of the parable was found in the local political situa- tions of His time. Those who were an- ticipating that the Lord Jesus would lead a revolution which would throw off the: bendage of Palestine to the Roman Empire were familiar with how Archillaeus, whose palace was located in Jericho, had secured his kingdom. Aspiring native princes who desired to secure an appointment as governor of 2 province ally journeyed to Rome, just as political candidates flock to Washington at the present moment. Parable’s Historical Background. The Roman Empire was tolerant of all classes and creeds. The government sought three ends: “First, to secure the stability of the Roman Empire in the loyal support of all the provinces. Sec- | to allow the Jews local and tribal | liberty consistent with internal serenity: Thirdly, to place in suthority men who once loyal to Rome and accep- e to the people.” Archillaeus, the son and successor of Herod the Great, had made such a journey to Rome and against the violent remonstrance of the Jews, who hated the very name of Herod and all connected with his fam- ily, Archillaeus received the appoint- ment of King over Judea. Upon his return he commissioned his friends as rulers of the various cities and put his enemies to death. This was the prob- able historical framework of the para- ble of the pounds. It was spoken to teach His disciples the true nature of His mission as Mes- siah and the character of the kingdom that He proposed to establish. It has been pointed out that He corrected four errors that were in the minds of the masses and of His disciples by this parable, “First, that the glorious Mes- sianic kingdom of which all the prophets spoke would immediately ap- pear. Second, that when it was estab- lished it would be a kingdom vigible to the carnal eye and manifested by great worldly pomp and worldly glory. Third. that all le would be joyfully and willingly subject to it. And, fourth, that there could be for its subjects no other celling than that of personal and in- active enjoyment.” By this parable Jésus sought to teach that the inaugurstion of the kingdom would riot take place until some indefi- nite future period. He emphasized the present, responsibilities and faithfulness that the King had a right to expect from His subjects during His absence. Although our Lord never spoke of His royal lineage, nevertheless He was a descendant of David. When He spoke of the nobleman's departure, without question He referred to' Himself. He knew and He wished them to under- stand that He had to go away before He would be publicly inaugurated with all power and authority, and His kingdom was spiritual and would come to Him from God. When the hour comes for Him to assume rule over the things of the earth He will “come in the glory of His Father with His angels, then shall He reward every man according to his work.” The responsibility that He entrusted to His disciples is represented by the |10 pounds that were given to the 10 servants with orders to trade with it until he returned. In the distribution of the pounds each servant shared alike. It reccgnized the indisputable quality that Christianity gives to men. This parable of the pounds has been cor- rectly called one of democracy, teach- ing liberty, equality and justice. The liberty of individual service is seen in the fact that each one was allowed to show and develop his ability in the use of the God-given talent. “Equal rights before the laws of God and man, equal opportunities of choice between the evil and the good, and the righteous judg- ment of & just government"—these are the doctrines fundamental to American government and to the understanding of this parable. “Occupy till I come” emphasized the responsibility that rests upon each one of us. We should utilize what God has given to us, so that it will vield its greatest profit and multiply it- self as much as possible. We are in business for the Lord. We should be traders and not traitors in building up His Kingdom. Reckonings and Rewards. The glory of the gospel is seen in the fact that God has used the lives of imperfect men and women to ad- vance the kingdom. Let us make the moet of our opportunity to extend the word and the power of the Spirit in works and testimony that honor our Lord and help prepare the world for our coming King. When He comes He will bestow rewards in accordance with our fidelity and fruitfulness. The two who had exercised their talents in a way that was faithful found that their fidelity was rewarded by being trusted with enlarged and greater re- sponsibilities, i One had failed in securing any re- sults because he had neglected to obev the nobleman’s command. He claimed that it was his duty to save what the Lord gave for use. His excuses con- demned and convicted him. He lost all. In this we see illustrtaed the life of a formal professor of religion who misconceived his own obligation and misjudged his Master. The penalty that he received should be a warning to us lest we fail to be loyal to our Lord. Selfishness always produces spiritual atrophy. Our lives have been given as a trust by our absent Master to be used in His service. If we by our love, labor and life are loyal to Christ He will reward our self-denial, sacrifice | and service when He comes. passed His severest condemnation upon sins of omission. If we neglect to use our life for Christ's service we will de- serve His rejection. The lesson calls for us to be loyal to Him, go forward and succeed. Jesus | ST.
