Whl taker taaeed on the monthly report from Allison Ja Director of the U. 8. Savings Bonds Division in Not for Sale mm tor Pebnurr I. IMS IF THE modern reader otthe par able of (be laborers In vine yard it puzzled, he pt least has the comfort at knowing that, (reft Bible scholars have been puzzled too. He alao - has the discomfort of knowing that no Interpretation he can p^t upon it will have unani mous agreement To be sure, there are some things it does not meafi. This parable does not give a mod el for labor and management. *esus was not talking about wages literally He was saying some thing about God, and Bis dealings with man. Furthermore, this par able does not mean that God's only reason for doing things Is "be cause;" that be Is one whose acts have neither rhyme nor reason. But what does this parable mean? Among the various plausible inter pretations that have been given it by Christian thinkers, let us pick out one of the most important truths that this peculiar story sug gests. Nothing to Sell That truth is: The grace of God cannot be earned. To desire the loving'favor, the "grace," of God, is to desire the greatest gift God can bestow. But u cannot oe 'bought. It cannot be earned. We can see that this is true by think ing a moment. Think whose it is. We can pay tot business fa vors, we can tip a waiter or a Dr Foreman porter lor doing something special for us; but we can't tip God. We can employ the services of all sorts of people; but God's services are not fog hire. We can earn anything on earth, or many things; but the grace of God is from heaven. What he does for man is a gift, not a payment. And then think who we are. Sup oose we really thought we could do a bookkeeping business with God. If we get it into our foolish . heads that he owes ua something, what about our debt to him? If we must have it on a bookkeeping basis, we shall always be in the red Earning God's Grace Still, the race of man includes many fools. And some of these have tried to do the impossible, to earn the infinite grace of God. One way they have tried is to buy it. A lifelong rascal's conscience will finally begin to hurt him, and so to get God on his side he will build a cathedral or endow an orphanage or pour money into some church treasury, hoping that God will overlook the villainous ways in which he earned the money because of the pious way in which he spends it Other men (a little more on the "religious" side) seem to think they can sweet-talk God into being their friend. They would not put it that way; they would say that God will listen to their many prayers. Do they not regularly attend prayer meetings, or early communions, and should not God be expected to do something for them in return? Others, again, hope that God can be made to feel so sorry tor them that be will pour out on them his special grace If they do not have natural troubles they will make artificial troubles for them selves. They will go without proper food and clothing, they will wear hair shirts er iron chains around their waists, they will roll on beds of spikes at go without baths for years and years But God's grace does not go to the highest bidders; it does not go to the most long winded prayers; it is not offered as a reward for self-inflicted wounds. God's grace must be taken as a gift or not at all Grace and Gratitude Then does It make no difference what we do? Will God be just as good to us. no matter what? Shall we even "do evil that grace may abound." that is. shall we jnake God's grace even more gracious by being as bad as we can be? Not by any means. The truly good life Is not a way of earning the grace of God; it is a way of re sponding to the grace of God Some one has said that religion is gratitude. Religion is our re sponse to God. not his to us Re ligion la our reply to the infinite goodness of the Almighty, not his reply to our part-way. badly mixed and human goodness indeed, the good Ufa Is more than a lifelong act of gratitude; tha good life it self Is th*.* effect of God's grace (Bald mi ??UfaiH imrlfkUl by ihr Dlvlstsa t ChrtstU* aeattsa, Ns Usaal CsaasU si UN Ckirckn *f Christ te Iks U.i.A.
