LESSON Nevertheless, the one-talent man seals sorely his disadvantage», and 1:5 tempted, as in the parable, to complain and churlishly sit down and attempt nothing. This ten~ dency the great teachor here means to roprove. He shows that God {awards men not in proportion to heir gifts, but to the use they‘make of them. To tho one who doubles Fig one talent the very same pow-er ls given as to the one who multiâ€" Elies his ten talents. “Well done, thou good and faith» ful servant; thou hast been faithâ€" {ul over a few things; I will make hee ruler over many things.” The duty of the person not brilâ€" inst as mountains and plains en- 1a.nce the beauty and promote the life and fruitfulness of nature. As a level earth would mean a. sand desert, so socialismâ€"4t dead level of conditions-â€"would mean social stag- natlou. What a. power for good such a richly gifted personality! Yet to how many have these brilliant parts {woven not an opportunity, but a temptation, a foil and a. snare. The saddest chapter of lierature is the career of the sons of genius. Over against; these exceptionally 'ifted souls our parable presents he one-talent man. He is dull, slow. grudgingly endowed. What he gets must be by toil of brain and sweat of bmw. These inequa- lities seem to be part of God’s plan, and aw no doubt meant for A WISE PURPOSE This parable treats of the self- elvident diversity in the natural gifts of man. Some are two, five, Or even ten talented. They are quick, clever, resourceful. This power is a gift, The- ehild is born with or without; it. No power can create it in the man lacking it. And unto one He gave five ta]- ents, to another two and to another one; to every man according tu his several abilityâ€"Matthew XXV. 15. WGBK YOUR ONE TALENT God Rewards Men in Proportion to the Use They Make of Their Gifts. INTERNATIONAL LESSON, A U G UST 29. Love the Greatest of All. But the greatest of these is charity. Love. (1) It is greatest in its nature, nobâ€" lest, deepest, happiest, most per- vasive, most heavenly. (2) It brings us closest to God, makes us par- takors of his nature, his Children and heirs. (3) It is the one thing without which faith and hope are ul lit,th avail. (4)1t is the most pawcrful, exerts the widest influâ€" ence for good, is the strongest m0- tivc for the upbuilding of character. (5) It is universal. Every person, of every degree, may have this love. More than all other things tog-ether it makes those that- have it “free and equal.” (6) With faith and hope, love is eternal. The longer one lives, the more love he can have. It will expand and grow forever and oven“ in increasing bleSSedness and glory. Hope Abideth. For the more we gain the larger our Vision of things to hope for. The more we gain our ideal, the more glorious the ideal to be gamed. And this through eternal ages. We do not cease growing, developing, by goâ€" ing to heaven. Faith Abideth. \Ve shall never cease to trust in God, for our souls can no more live in heaven than they can here, without divine help and influence which come from trusting his as Governor, Helper, and Friend. Faith will only be stronger, more complete, in heaven than here. IV. The Immortal Thl‘eo.-Vs. 13. And now, in conclusion, abideth faith, hope, charity. III. Love is Imperishable.~â€"VS. 842. Love, like light, shines on however it may be received. Men may habe it, but love continues. Men may get so hardened as not to be influenced by it, but God loves them still. Men may persecute and injure and "ebel against and hate tnosc who love them, but these things cannot destroy the love. Love is like the laws of nature; you may break them, but they do not change; you may defy them, but they work right on V; you may use them and may trust, them un‘ failingly. blue, and yellow, and Violet, and orange, and all the colors of the rainbow-50 Paul passes this thing, love, through the magnificent prism of his inspired intellect, and it comes out on the other side broken up into its elements. And in these few words we have what one might call the spectrum of love, the analysis of love. It is those who have had an i11~ f5 riority of natural powers and who, in spite of «disadvantages, have made themselves a help and a bless- ing who deserve best of the race and shall shine the brightest in the kingdom of heaven. Let us, then. bear in mind that usefulness, success, happiness and the divine blessing depend not up- on our talents, many or few, bril- liant or dull, but upon our wise, patient, earnest use of such capaci- ties as we have. “The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,” but to thg faithful and deserving: It is by common men and women realizing the importance of com- mon and lowly tasks that the wel- fare of every home and the general well being of mankind are to be promoted. And, none the loss, is it» by these that God’s wise and blessed purposes to the race are to be completed. THE FEW OF GENIUS. For it is by means of the great company of mediocre minds that the chief work and happiness of the nurld must be maintained. “This seems very certain,” wrote, Phillips Brooks, “that the world is to grow better and richer in the future, not by the magnifi- cent achievements of the highly gifted few, but by the patient faithâ€" fulness of the oneâ€"talented many.” This parable concerns; the great majority of us. The one-talented many are really of far more import- ance than lianlly gifted is to work his one talent-t0 l'nc highest. point. of officiâ€" ency. And the pains he requires to advance hecomesa discipline oft n more valuable by far than quick naâ€" tural parts. How often thus the gift~ ed scholar, snared by his very facili- ty, sees himself left behind the plod~ ding but trained and applying; puâ€" pil. And the same fact is illustratâ€" ed in business and in every sphere of life. JUNIUS B. REMENENYDER. Tailnr‘s Hint-va skirt could be. finished in the same way a tailor finishes men’s trousers.

Quick Jelly.~â€"This method is good for all fruits but pineapple, crabapple and quinces: Mash the raw fruit until all is well broken, then take a cupful at a, time and put in a balg~a salt bag is good for the purposeâ€"and gently squeeze the juice into a dish. When all of the fruit is thus treated measure the juice and place in a kettle and put over the fire to cook. Measure one cupfnl of sugar for every cup» ful of juice, putting on the stove or in the oven where it will be- come hot, but do not let it scorch. Let the juice boil for about eight minutes and skim, then add the hot sugar, bring to a boil, and cook one minute more. The color and flavor of the fruit is much better preserved by this plan than by the more tedious process. From be- ginning to end it will take less than an hour to make the jelly.

Do not add all the vine~ gar until you find whether so much is needed to make sauce of proâ€" per thickness. Often the full gal~ lon of vinegar is not needed. When Making Jams. â€" When making jams and marmalades try the easier and altogether more satâ€" isfactory way of baking them in the oven instead of cooking on top of the range, where constant atten- tion and stirring are imperative. Turn the burner down low and as your jam thickens around the edg- es of the pan, kettle, or crock, stir it down. No further attention is necessary until it is done and you run absolutely no risk of burning it Bleeding Heart Pi-ckles.â€"â€"Select fine, large blood beets; cook until tender; plunge into cold water for five minutes; remove skins.

Finish the top with a. bias tape, trim all edges with lace, and when you put the corset cover on turn down the upper ruffle. This gives a pretty, frilly fullness to the shirtwaist. Two Uses of Elastio.â€"â€"A great many girls use rubber bands to keep their short sleeves in place, but a. far better way is to make a pair of elastic arm bands about one-fourth of an inch wide and just. big enough to slip over the elbow without stretching. They are ser- viceable and comfortable and do not stop the circulation. It is best to have a white pair for light waists and a black pair for dark ones; although they never show, it is safer. These bands may be used to hold up children’s socks. They keep them from slipping down and do not bind. finished skirt than by the 01d thod. ~n‘v mu USEFUL HINTS. GINGERBREAD.
