THE MORNIffQ STAR, AYILMINGTON, N, C, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1921. SEVENTEEN SOCIALISM "AND The International Sunday School Lson for'Pebruary 27 By WILLIAM Persons who read more of -radical- (fn1 than of religion, are fond of ap pealing to the Bible as the basis of all tll r varied socialistic theories. Their sP-i'. if they know anything about sew Testament, is usually to the cf communistic experiment of the apostolic church, a venture that ended j., .ioverty and disaster. ... ,f nnybody wants to go to the Bible economics and sociology, here it :j i the familiar parable which is the prAnt Sunday school lesson. It is with truth for out times Tl , it is more of hope for human prog-" refi in it tnan in any 01 me countless inctifs upon Bolshevism and less ex irffll, forms of socialism. Suppose we .a all auotA the narable itself. . -.

To one he save five talents, (, another two. to another one to each -vmrding- to his individual capacity; I,,, .; then started from home.

But the man who had re--ived the one went and dug a hole and lurie.l his master's money. After a long lapse of time the ma's ,(., of those servants returned, and had n rorkoning with them. The one who V1 received the Ave talents came and ,r .ualit five more, and said. Sir. it was five talents that ycu en listed to me: see, I have gained five ,ii"-p.' 'Vou have done well, good and tl :sWorthy servant,' replied his mas-t.-; 'you have been trustworthy in, the nr'i.a'sement of a little, I will put you in rliare of much: share your master's T1u second, who had received the tw,-i talents, came and said, Sir. it was two talents you en trnf'ted to me: Bee, I have gained two r.i '"-" Good and trustworthy servant, you :-,e done well,' his master replied; v. -i have been trustworthy in the man ; '-Hirf-nt of a little, I vrlll put you in ,;mrge of much: share your master's joy." But, next, the man who hid the one . -nt in his keeping came and said, "Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, :apingr where you had not sown and LMrnering what you had not winnowed. being afraid, , I went and burled your talent In the ground: there you i;?vp what belongs to you.' - You wicked and slothful servant,' i-p-.'lied his master, 'did you not know tat I reap whero I have not sown, and .-r rnerpd what I have not winnOwed? Vnur duty was then to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I ,ame I should have got my property with interest. So. take away the talent rm him, and give it to the man who has the ten (For to every one who Ins, more shall be given, and he shall .v.e abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be tnkpn away.) 'But as for this worth ier servant, put him out into the larknesa-outside: there wIIL. be the vveping and the gnashing of teeth. n'lina Mnnf-v Win It T According to the most advanced of modern theories, this householder had no right to possess money of his own. T!vs same state of mind denies God any sovereign or proprietary rights In human life." But the words of Jesus are explicit: It was his own money that te man in the story distributed to his ,.wn servants for his own purposes. Property, like life, must be enhanced or it will deteriorate. The three servants had varying ca pacity, even as have every group of men torlay. To say that we are ail fqual in character and In possibility is to flout the plain facts of life. If hu nt? n beings did not differ greatly, Le-ni-e and Trotzky would nofbe run nine ?nd ruining Russia today. The master in the parable . knew his men, and her was fair to them all; for he khvp part, as much as he could handle, v i at a blunder it would haye been . have entrusted the five talents to t! one-talent man! r.zrh was given the opportunity to fii -fill a trust, and to prove his powers. V",th all the unsocial selfishness that there is in the world today, it Is none th lew true that many business men cs'iv more for their achievements than fop thoir gains. The work means more f pit the dividends. As a friend said re r tlv. himself a man of large business responsibilities., when we wr discusB i. mm.ri9i failures: It t th money that matter; it is life, lif! that these men have put into if.- toir work. To see your life-struciure rr ''apse that is the bitterness of It Life an a Talent "f course. Jesus was talking about : kingdom of heaven that ultimate e H of all wise seekers after a better order of human life when He narrated ti is parable. Significantly, He dealt m t;-:ns of individualism; as God always ;if in both rewards and punishments. And it was the faithfulness of the sin tw n.an that he stressed. Hi Idea H rtrly is that the kingdom is to come i nay of man-and-man fidelity to op P tunities and responsibilities. one does more for all the world by liv'nir a true and growing life than by i-'nltiff any party or society, or by sub ''hinsr to any set of dogmas. r.iff is the talent ofjvhlch every one of us is steward. What we do with our 1 is the real measure of what we do f' r God. The two-talent man may be fii: i te as successful In kind, ana same reward, as the five-talent t m;i n. nrh is responsible for his use of his is. When an heir of opportunity ana viiege fails to use-hls life aright he morp culpable failure than the son "Pape's Colcf Gompound,J;is Quickest Relief Known - ; instant Relief. Don't tay tufted -t p!

Under the delirium of mo passion. Russian bolsheviks interdicted the VeJ.?n asthe French revolution abolished" God. In nr mnnA ernism" we may decry the idea of a judgment day as an affront to the sov ereign dignity of man; and we may ex claim, with Omar Khayam. "I myself am heaven and hell." Just the same, Buch vaporings do not postpone by a single minute the in evitableness of the reckoning at the great Assize. An old story tells of the dog that was disturbed by the bright ness of the moon. So it went out into the field and barked and bayed at the moon; but the moon simply kept on shining. Puny minds cry out in protest against God: but Kod keeps right on being God, and judge of all the earth. Scornful and impious young people, who have been "emancipated" from the old faith, laugh at the idea of God and a reckoning. Today is their turn to laugh; tomorrow, as said the Psalm ist, "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh." It is a real and reasonable incentive to faithfulness and clean living that we "are servants of the living God, and that a reckoning with Him is one of the sure and inescapable things. "AJBetter Man Than His Dad" Unless my sons become better men than I am, both they and I must be written down as failures. "He is not the man his father was." we sometimes hear of a youth; and condemnation could not be severer. Sons should be improvements upon fathers to vindl cate the divine principle of the In crease of the talents. That is the way the kingdom comes. No better laws, but' better people, make a better state of society. What ails prohibition en forcement? Simply the fact that a multitude of the people are- not up to the level of the law; and no law ever attains a higher plane of fulfilment than the sentiment of the men and women to whom it applies. Some silly folk think that if we adopted the so viet form of government our ills would vanish. Absurd. "What we need ls a higher grade of individual life, such as the Sunday school' is seeking every where to produce. Like all the words of Jesus, this pa rable compacts exhaustleSs wisdom. It points the way to the kingdom's com ing; and it points the way also . to in dividual improvement. Use, enlarge and multiply your talent, whatever that be When we have five-talent men in creased by fidelity and efficiency to ten- talent men we are, obviously, lifting the common level of society up to a ten-talent scale. All the best of . human; qualities -initiative, courage, applica tion, fidelity are called into being and developed by the ' talent-increasing person. How is this land of ours growing? The story is -being repeated every day on every hand. One ambitious person succeeds: it may be a working girl who introduces into her home better furni ture, a piano, and a more careful man ner of dress and conduct. The whole family is lifted up to her level. Her neighbors emulate the family s exam pie, and pianos are heard up and down the street. Books and reading and a finer social code follow. The men must earn more to maintain the scale of life. Relatives are drawn into the -process. Every one of us has seen neighbor hoods and families so lifted up merely by one person's employing his or her own talents to the full. As yet social ism has found no substitute for 'his tested process of democracy. When the Auto' "Knocks" One of the wise sayings born of modern experience is that "The auto mobile 'knocks' going up-hill; but a man 'knocks' when going down hill." The faultfinder in the lesson was the man who was the failure. The. one talent man produced nothing but com plaints. Just as "the destruction of the poor is their poverty," so the fail ure of the unsuccessful Is usually their own weakness. It was because he was only a one-talent man that the servant did not multiply even what he possess ed. Instead, he substituted criticism of others for achievement by himself. The poorest atick is a good "knocker." It was not for lack of two talents that the failure in the story was con demned; but for lack of attempt, to do his duty for, be it remembered, the increase of the talents was a duty, as well as an opportunity, In effortless, self-pitying, bitter-souled sloth, the one-talent servant showed himself a simple quitter. Had he made any fair trial he would have been rewarded. "It is good to know that attempted things. Are counted and crowned by the King of kings." So the "Master of all good work men." laid down the principle: "For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away."
