Fisher came last Sunday morning to hear the Rev. Hayward of New York. This was in no respects derogatory to the visiting minister but was due to the attraction of other church services which induced other church members to keep to their own churches and drew some of Bethesda’s membership as well. The speaker who has preached two or three times before at this church delivered an interesting sermon and added to the number of those who admire his pulpit appearances. Reports from the treasurer show encouraging improvement and the auxiliaries of the church are ex hibiting a healthy state of activity. Rev. J. J. Clayburn, the assistant pastor, filled the pulpit of his friend, the Rev. Solomon, in his lowa charge. Zion —Sunday was a busy day at Zion. From the early Sunday school to the last minute of the evening service some of Zion’s people were in the church carry ing on in the interest of one gath ering or another. The special and perhaps the most important serv ice of the day was the afternoon rally which brought out the largest number of people and raised quite a helpful bit of money. The pro gram presented was typical of the spirit of Zion. Each of the church’s auxiliaries was repre sented with its own colors and in its own pew. It, was called a self denial rally in which each member sacrificed something of money or time in aid of the church. Mrs. Mildred Manderville of the Young Matrons is president; Mrs. Geral dine Edwards, program chairman. The following program was given: Prayer, D. J. Wade; piano solo, Juanita Wallace; the Musical Notes sang; Beulah Peterson, a piano solo; Louise Bohannon dis cussed, “Two Different Self De nials”; Mrs. Martha Lee gave a reading as did Miss June Hawkins, both selections from Dunbar. The acapella quartette sang and the Rev. H. W. Botts made some per tinent remarks. Monies raised: Usher Board, $3.35; Church, $3.73; Sunday school, $2.00; Deaconesses and officers, $6.01; Senior Mission Society, $2.76; Young Matrons, $3.84; B. Y., $3.11, and Deacons, $4.20. With morning and evening sermons and the B. Y. P. U. led by Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Phillips, it was indeed a “busy day.” ST. PETER CHURCH NOTES St. Peter increased its singing capacity last Sunday with the service of the senior and gospel choir together. Rev. C. F. Stewart in giving his best seems conse crated to the cause of Christian leadership. He believes the church to be an institution of Christian relationship as well as a sacred place of worship. Closely con nected with this he believes is home, family prayer. His text last Sunday: “Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.” Members and friends who have been neglecting their duty, in attending church service, recently, will find all going well in St. Peter when they return. Re- member the church is one of the three institutions which serves to make your own life a success. So come out Sunday and before you leave go and shake the pastor’s hand, offer your service, your prayers; ask of him the same. Mr. and Mrs. Carmichel of 3121 18th avenue south was host to Rev. C. F. Stewart and his en tire family last Sunday.

PAUL RECORDER Stewardship here Includes one’s self and substance —stewardship In money is only a small part of our responsibility. God has entrusted each of his servants with certain gifts, and will hold each respon sible for the use he makes of them. God has lent us capital, and one day will require of us a report of the business we have done with it By talents is meant whatever gifts and powers we possess as gifts from God, whether of nature or of grace, such as strength, reason, knowledge, influence, time, money, ability to speak, sing. I. The Distribution of the Talents (vv. 14, 15). 1. It was a sovereign act. He called his own servants and dis tributed to them his own money. As the one who created us and owns us, he has assigned us our places and given us our several powers, Intending that we put them to the best possible use. 2. It was an intelligent act. The distribution was made according to “several ability.” The God who made us knew our ability to use gifts, therefore he made the dis tribution upon that basis. A recog nition of God’s sovereignty and in telligence regarding the distribution of his gifts will make us content in our sphere of labor. 3. It was a purposeful act. The talents were given to be traded with. They were not given to be used for personal gain and profit but as stock in trade for the en richment and glory of the Master. 11. The Employment of the Tal ents (vv. 16-18). 1. All the servants recognized that the talents were not their own —that they were responsible to the Lord for the use made of them. We are not responsible for the creation of gifts, but for the employment of such gifts as have been given un to us. 2. Two servants used their tal ents. The five-talent man put his to use and gained five more; the two talent man put his to use and gained two more. This shows that God’s gifts can be increased. The exercise of any gift Increases it. It is not primarily a question as to what we have received, but as to what use we have made of what we have received. 3. The one hid his talent The crime of the one-talent man was not that he had but one talent but that he hid the talent which the Lord gave him. He did nothing with it To hide a talent may be just as hard or harder than to use it. 111. The Accounting for the Tal ents (vv. 19-30). 1. Its certainty (v. 19). There is a day coming when we all must give an account of our stewardship. There is absolutely no escape. 2. The time (v. 19). The time of accounting will be at the second coming of Christ. The Incentive to faithfulness is the coming of the Lord. 3. The judgments announced (vv. 20-30). a. Reward of the faithful (vv. 20-23). . X.-M // // J. .... ..... . (1). Praise, “Well done.” All like to be praised. From childhood on through life, "commen dation is pleasing. (2) Promotion, “Be thou ruler over many things.” Much of that to which we look forward in life is the passing from lower to higher privileges and positions. (8) Entrance upon the joy of the Lord. The five-talent man and the two-talent man received the same praise and the same promotion. b. Punishment of the faithless (vv. 24-30). (1) Reproach, “Thou wicked and slothful servant.” To be called lazy is a reproach which even the lazy man dislikes. (2) Stripped, “Take therefore the talent from him.” The talent en trusted to him was to be taken from him. (3) Cast out, “Cast ye the unprof itable servant into outer darkness.” Complete Surrender On the day of his conversion Paul was filled with the Holy Ghost, and he remained filled until he went home by the road of martyrdom. And if you ask why he maintained a journey heavenward so unfail ing he might answer in this way: He would tell you that when he was lying on the Damascus high way he saw the glorified Christ on the Cr«)ss, and he said, as he took his lost and wasted life and placed it tn the wounded hands, “Lord un dertake for me.” He placed his life, without reserve. In Christ’s al-, mighty hand. CHURCH DIRECTORY CAMPHOR MEMORIAL M. E. CHURCH 585 Fuller Avenue, St. Paul, Minn. Rev. H. M. Marbley, Pastor 9:30 A. M. Sunday School. 10:30 A.M.
