Matt. 25:21. "And the Lord
said unto him, well done good
and faithful servant, non hast
been faithful in a few things, I
will make the; ruler over many
things; enter thou into the joy of
thy Lord."
God has given u* rich endow-
ments viz:— Our time,« ur posses
sions, our oppor'unities as trusts
and not gift?. In this parable
we note he speakes of HIS ser-
vants and his goods. God ha>-
servants, they are these who
have been turned from darkness
unto light and from the power < f
Satan unto God. They that h«ve
received forgiveness of sins and
have been adopteb into the fami
of God. We note also that God
gives to us according to our abil
ity. So to one he gave five tal
ents and to another two and to
another one; so every one has
ability to do something for the
Master and if we fail in this we
fail to inherit the joys of heaven
for eternity. We must note four
things about this parable: First
The Master who distributes these
talents; Second—The sonants
who improved their talents: Third
