LESSON FOR JULY 26 THE POUNDS AND THE TALENTS. LESSON TEXT Luke 19:11-27, cf. Matt 25:14-30. GOLDEN TEXT "Well dono, goo.l anl faithful servant; thou hast b.-on faithful over a fiw things, I will sc-t thei- over mnny thinsrs; enter Into the Joy of thy lord." Matt. 23:21 R. V. We are told plainly why Jesus spoke the first parable (v. 11). We must be ware of confusing these two parables though they are one in their essential teachings. The parable of the pounds was Ut tered before the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem while that of the talents was spoken subsequently. This association does not mean Iden tity for each has a separate lesson. Both have to do with an absent lord whose return was imminent. The Jews looked for a temporal visible Kingdom and many were associating the earthly life of our Lord with that expected manifestation. Hence this parable as recorded by Luke. Issue la Fidelity. I. "Occupy Till I Come," w. 11-14. Both of these parables have to do with the return of an absent lord who will then establish his kingdom. In view of this return and consummation, bis servants are to give their undivided attention to their immediate responsi bilities. They are to trade, to do busi ness with that that has ' been in trusted to them They are to actively discharge their duty. Ere the visible kingdom is established, Jesus told these Jews, there must be a period of preparation. Jesus, himself. Is the "nobleman" whose ascension into heaven where he is to receive a king dom fulfils the "departure into a far country." He will return to set up that kingdom. Acts 1:9-11, with "all authority," Matt. 28:18 R. V.. Eph. 1: 18-23; I Pet. 3:22. He may return at any time. In neither parable is there a full description of the kingdom as It is to be established, for both have to do with the servants. The issue is that of fidelity in each case. The "citizens" (v. 14) include his proper subjects the Jews, John 1:11; Acts 4:27-28, and In this connection we recall their cry, "Away with him, crucify." Luke 23:8; John 19:15. These "citizens," also include all of his pro fessed followers but not necessarily regenerated men, Matt. 7:22-33. The king gives to each servant (v. 13) a pound (about $18.00). His deposit is equal in eaci case. In the parable of the talents there is a difference in the amounts bestowed. This last empha sizes the fact that each is to be held responsible according to the measure of his own personal ability. Putting these two together we see that all the servants of the king are responsible for the one pound which Is a symbol of the common fact of the kingdom power. At the same time the servant is also responsible for that common power according to the measure in which it is entrusted to him. in which he is able to deal with it. The small amount of one pound Indicates our re sponsibility for the smallest gifts. Parable of Pounds. II. "When He Was Returned." w. 15-30. The parable of the pounds was spoken to those who thought he must at once establish he kingdom of God. That of the talents was given In an swer to the disciples' Inquiry as to when certain things which he had fore told would take place. Upon his re turn all these servants will be sum moned before him. Matt 25:18, Rom. 14:10-12. II Cor. 6:10. As Jesus stood there, he, likewise of that as of all other ages, saw ahead of him Jeru salem with its scourging, suffering and death. He also saw beyond that his resurrection and departure to re ceive a kingdom (v. 12), a period therefore in this world during which his servants shall be responsible for the care of bis interests, a time dur ing which they shall occupy, do busi ness with what he has entrusted them of the kingdom authority and power. All of this will culminate in his re turn when he will deal with, those to whom this responsibility has been given, and then establish finally his kingdom. In the parable Jesus deals with each servant separately, and em phasizes the fact of stewardship. The pound belonged to the king. For his faithfulness the first servant received, v. 17, (a) the king's commendation and (b) authority over ten cities. Later, (v. 24) he also received another pound. The second did not give quite so good a report, and his reward lacked the approbation of the king, though he is placed over "five cities." His reward was in proportion to his faithfulness. The third report was bad. It re veals neglect, laziness, and a wrong conception regarding the king. He sought to excuse his sloth by blaming another. The excuses of the sinner always condemn himself, not God, and augment the sinner's guilt. The "wicked servant" lost what he would not use. If we will not use we must lose. Doubtless this servant considered himself unfortunate, though he was Judged "out of his own mouth." Re verting again to those citizens who bated htm and would not have the king to "reign over them," Jan bis parable (v. XT). FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS By Being Constantly Supplied With Bedford's Black-Draught. McDuff, Va. "I suffered for several years," says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, ol this place, "with sick headache, and Etomach trouble. Ten years ago a friend told me to try Thedford's Black-Draught, which I did, and 1 found it to be the best family medi cine for young and old. I keep Black-Draught on hand all the lime now, and when my children feel a little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it does them more good than any medicine they ever tried. Ve never have a long spell of sick ness in our family, since we commenced using Black-Draught." Thedford's Black-Draught is purely vegetable, and has been found to., regu late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea, headache, sick stomach, and similar symptoms. It has been in constant use for more than 70 years, and has benefited more than a million people. Your druggist sells and recommends Black-Draught. Price only 25c.

IT IS LIKE THAT Oliver Wendell Holmes says: "Take your needle, my children, and work by your patern; it wili come out a rose by and by. The benefits of teaching a child to save is like that. One dime at a time continually added will mean for that child a handsome amount of money when, later, it may be the means of educating the child; if a boy, it may start him in business, or il a girl, it may purchase the trousseau.' The sav ing of small or large amounts bv the child will teach economy, for they soon learn the value of a dollar: and the lesson s of thrift learned when young makes them the better able to make the most of what thev have wnen reaching manhood and woman hood. The surest way for a child to save and that which offers most for the training the child should have is tound by the starting cf an acount with a bank. Banks are always glad to welcome the children, for' the child v ho starts a savincs acount now will in later years be the man or woman of aita:i'3 working for upbuilding at home and abroad. THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Genuine Merit Required to Win the Peoples Confidence Have ycu ever stopped to reason Jhy it is that so many products laat are extemjively advertised, a'l at once drcp out of tight and ate soon forgotten? The reason ft plain he article did ntt fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies mere particularly to a medi cine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells Itself, as like an endless chain syi -tern the remedy is recommended by there who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist sayi:. "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every cas it shows excellent results, as many of my customers taitlfy. No cthr kidney remedy that I knew fo has so large a sale.' According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the ucceiej cf Dt. Kilmer's Swamp-Roct is due to the fact thatt fulfills almost every wl h in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder) diseases, corrects urinary troubles andj neu tralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. Tou may receive a sample bot tle of Swamp-Roct by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Blng hamtoni N. T., and enclose ten cents; also mention The Asheboro Weekly Courier.
