VCIl* "Rev. Dr. Renry C. Rwentrel Draws a
New Lesson From the Parable?The
One Talent Alan Shonltl Not Pogo as a
Person With a Grievance.
| > * BROOKLYN*, N. Y.?Dr. Henrv C. Swentrector
of St. Luke's Church, preached
| SaBd3y morning on "Hidden Talents." He
I took his test from St. Matthew .\xv:18:
"lie that had received one talent went and
i digged in the earth, and hid bis lord's
^ ^r" Swentzel said:
holds the cornucopia of infinite and
oi^fcipotent love. With open-handed gent
e*fcty He disDCD.ses the gilts of His
P .tojesudiess wealth throughout the length
X y^ajLbreadth of the whole creation. From
^ Jjtfcd pulpits nature preaches eloquently
of divine philanthropy. The universe
. ia nat oniy a vast workshop, but a wagh
nificent pleasure house for enjoyment,
y Kvery field is designed for a harvest, all
y the forests resound with symphonies and
oratories; everywhere are mines of riches
awaiting the toiler. God's plan includes
all the D est tilings for the multitude," and
he who serves his mission may well say,
*1 have all and abound."
And yet how manv are almost persuaded
to protest against the doctrine of the liberality
of the heavenly Father's provisions.
~ "Ehejr have more than a suspicion that our
I interpretation of His bounty does not
r equare with the facts and experiences of
I human life. They are disposed to intimate
that His ways are not equal; that He has
Hirr.solf hv a hard arid fn?t dnrv
trine of foreorciination, predestination and
? election; that His counsels are marred by
' what amounts practically to unjust discrimination
and favoritism. Without
pausing to emphasize the impiety of criticising
Almighty God or to expose the futility
and vanity of passing judgment UDon
His program for humanity, we ought to be
persuaded even by our surroundings that
the Lord is prompted ever by a masterful
desire to promote the health and wealth,
the power and happiness, of His children.
If we were qualified to appreciate His
plans for mankind, we would accept the
t world with its beauties and harmonies, its
lights and shadows, its resplendent heavens
and fragrant Sowers, its overflowing
granaries, its countless picture galleries,
wv its monumental glories, as parables of dirvine
so .-ereignty.
But the man with one talent is likely to
present himself as an objector to this* attractive
and inspiring view of the Fathers
rulership. He is dissatisfied. He has a
He is persuaded that he ought
to have a better chance, larger privileges,
greater opportunities, a* more encouraging
r n outlook. It is perfectly true that there are
inequalities. Ail are not endowed witn
the same gifts. Some seem to have more
while others have less; but there is undoubtedly
a law of compensation which
? opens the way for a high general avenge
y-*. or satisfaction in living, a satisfaction
which is not affected by what are called
euecess and failure, riches and penury.
God' never gives everything to any one
person, but He docs offer a generous gift
to every soul, and all will find life to be
I.V* Worth a thousand times more than it costs
"is. ? thev will but do their duty. If the many
would honestly do their best with what
thov have, a large share of present inequalities
would disapear, and it would be
clearer to all that tne Almighty is truly a
universal Father. Alas, who has done his
best? If the complainer had but half filled
the measure of bis possibilities, if he had
been willing to do what he easily could
have done, if he had not hidden his talent,
the situation to him would be changed,
and he would be more perfectly in Harmony
with the life-creed proclaimed by
revelation and by all the worlds.
Inasmuch as our Lord is the author of
the parable of the talents, the religious
story with its moral should be received
with the utmost thougutfulness. According
to His teaching, everybody receives
something, and the very smallest gift is
one talent. A talent is a goodly sum of
money?equal to a little less than $2000.
That amount would be a promising starfcing
capital to a young man of fair business
ability. Many, it will be alleged, must begin
life on a much smaller basis, for which
there may be human reasons which are
both regrettable and inexorable, and which
we cannct stay to discuss. Urdinaniy,
5^. however, each soul has a goodly start and
eets out wi'h a fair endowment. Gener4**
ally speaking, everybody has a chance?hecan
be something, he can do something?ho
i can serve his mission. It is wholesome to
be reminded betimes that many of the
V men who have made history have sprung
form a comparatively low origin. In every
nation saints, heroes and leaders are, for
the most part, born in humble cottages,
the poor boys of not many yesterdays ago.
To every soul God gives an adequate equipment.
" Work is the only royal road to excellence.
There are people who expect to
i be carried on angels' wings to the goal of
i their ambition, but angels and their wings
.> were made for no such purple.
The trouble with the complaining mar.
of one talent is that he has hidden his
k power in the earth. God made him to live
a splendid life; the mar has failed more or
less utterly. He may be misunderstood,
but far oftener he misunderstands himself.
In taking stock of his assets he neglects to
& rate them even at their face value. He
wonders why he is where he is; he alleges
insuperable obstacles and insists that ne
p has been sorely handicapped; he regards
himself as a victim. It may by apparent
that he is not so richly gifted as certain
#thers are. hnfc thnt. ia n<% Moo.m v,.
should set up an inferior standard for
himself and expect nothing as the outcome
of his existence. Success is not a matter
of talents. It is not true that" they whose
achievements have given them a place in
kthe world's legion of honor were men
whose shining talents, without industry
dnd without development, won for them
immortal distinction. A11 who have real
strength arc hard workers, whose towering
object was not to get through the world
with the least possible outlay of energy,
who are willing to spend and be spent in
living their lives. Brilliant abilities count
for little. The high places in the world
^ . are seldom tilled by people of genius, but
A by men and women who have simply made
the most of their capacity. It is an ever
recurring surprise that most unlikely souls
f *y come to the iront in all the spheres of activity.
Many a genius goes at the last to
the potter's field, while memorials in marble
or bronze are reared to commemorate
virtues and triumphs of characters that
t were not so rich in natural gifts as they
B were abundant in labors. Everybody is
' weil enough endowed. The least we have
w "5?one talent, which, if it be rightly used.
Wff* will suffice for our energies and till the
Vj measure of a laudable ambition.
I Everybody is good for something; no
body is necessarily good for nothing. The
man with talent has some power. We
do not refer to his attributes, though these
? may be admirable; he may have faculties
winch are more or less notable; he may
* have memory, imagination, various gifts
which perhaps he does not suspect. But
he has a finer talent to be a man?the talent
of faithfulness to the right, or conr(
age for maintaining principle, of honesty
and sturdin^ss for work; he has a talent
that will give him a standing among his
fellows, and that will make liiin valuable
amid the various relationships of his life.
By the grace of God he may hone to be
? . eomething and do something, anel he is in
honor bound to make large exactions oi
I himself. He may never take his place
' ' among the billionaires, or secure fame, or
R be known far outside of the small circle oi
r. his home and his shop, but everybody who
I % tries to do his duty in his own station.
1 " whose example upholds righteousness,
r whose influence, be it much o> little, is on
God's side in the combat between good
and evil, is a public benefactor, and his 3
name, though almost unknown here, is J
written in heaven's book of worthies.

wrong was not the misuse or tne abuse,
but tne non-use, of his personal force. He
does not belong to the category of tlie vick
Urns, he is not chargeable with iniquities
1 which suggest thta there may be some
i truth aft.er all in the old. discarded notion
of the total depravity of human nature,
and yet the Lord says to him. ''thou
wicked and slothful servant." He was
wicked, not because he had squandered or
: lost the gift, but only because lie had bidden
it.
1 That is just what thousands and thou:
sands are doing to-day. They put their
talent in the earth. In spite of all their
1 worth they are stunted and impoverished
because they are "of the earth earthy."
i The worldly spirit is not restricted by any
means to those who pile up colossal for- :
i tunes or who are the habitues of Vanity
Fair. A begtrar may he, and probably is,
; quite as much, of a mammon worshiper as
is the most vulgar money lover. They
who fail may be even more worldly than
they who succeed. However that may be,
our present concern is with the admonition
that warns us not to bury our talent by
living solely for temporal goods. Every
day we are exposed to the contagion of
earthly domination. Hoiv easy it is to let
ourselves down to a low degree of
thought, desire and gratification. We are
kin to the elements about us. V7e belong
to two worlds?to earth as well as to
heaven. With pardonable fondness we refer
to our present abode as "mother
earth." We came ourselves from its bosom.
We get all that we have out of the
ground?our food and raiment, our
houses, our books, our sciences and arts,
all the material blessings with which we
are enriched. Here reposes all that was
mortal of our beloved dead, and at their
funeral rites the church said "earth to

brave have fought for r'ght and rights,
and royal souls have done their work for
the cause of progress Hera Jtsas spent
three and thirty years. His feet trod upon
its hills and vales. His precious blood
flowed down from His sacred body to its
soil, and His mangled corpse lay in its
tomb. How much the earth has in it to
fascinate; Is it a marvel that so many fall
before its seductions and hide the great
and holy talent in the clay? How natural,
but how wicked. To every- one who buries
the talent?his personal force?in worldliness
comes the sharp condemnation, "thou
wicked and slothful servant."
It is nothing less than a high crime to
centre one's being in the earth. When he
has the power to be a son of Cod, when he
has an equipment that should get results,
when he can be efficient and effective
throughout his sphere, when he can make
a contribution to the fund of goodness and
- happiness, what a sorry pity it is that he
should put such possibilities into a hole.
And yet that is precisely what so many
are doing. Some of them are rich, while
others are poor; some have knowledge and
culture, wnile others are ignorant and
hard, but they are all alike in that they
have buried the precious gift. It matters
not whether they are lofty or lowly, whether
they live in a palace or a garret. they
have erred grievously if they nave buried
the power which alone can make life worth
living. What an unspeakable degradation
it is to leave the plain where God would
have us think and work and to descend to
the slavery of a vulgar ambition for worldly
concerns. To pass one's years without
raising to the dignity and excellences of
noble manhood and noble womanhood?to
go on from year to year without recognizing
the Deity?and without noting the
privileges which Christ has assured?to reduce
ourselves to the level of machinery,
to set up a song and dance as though that
were the greatest thing in the world?is to
take ourselves into a region which is not
fit for immortals. Let ns do our work and
enjoy our recreations, but let us also appreciate
the doctrine that to be true men
and true women is the highest possible estate.
Away with the base delusion that
the average person is called to a condition
of inevitable inferiority, and that it is not
for him to look for large personal develop- j
mcnt and excellence. All could be strong (
if they would use their talents.
We have personality. There is such a
thing as the "oersonai equation." Everybody
has a fair chance. The man who has
buried his talent is apt to deny all this,
and may possibly settle down to be a fatalist,
a pessimist, a misanthrope, a chronic
grumbler. How true the parable is to nature
and to life. The complainant is out
of harmony with everybody and everything.
His gravamen is most unlovely. He
may urge heredity by alleging that his an- i
tecedents were unfavorable and his birth- (
right counts for nothing. He may point to
circumstances as prohibitory and invincible
when he would assert his right to be a (
man. He may charge that divine providence
constantly thwarts him and reduces
his every hope to ashes. In the last analy- ,
sis he takes the position of the condemned '
man of the parable and says to the Lord:
'*1 knew that Thou art an hard man," an
allegation which is disproved by the fact ;
that the Lord had given him a whole tal- .
cnt. Although the human heart recognizes
some measure of responsibility, it attempts
to argue the matter and sets up a i
defense, and it ends by laying the blame at
the feet of God. The Father has done His
part abundantly; it only remains for His 1
children to do theirs; the talent has value !
only in its use.
bt. Paul views this question from a most
exalted standpoint. He says: "There are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, i
and there are differences of administration, ;
but the same Lord, and there are diversities
of onerations. but it is the same ftnrl
that worketh all in all, but the manifestation
of the Spirit is given to every man to
'profit withal."
We speak of self-iuade men as though
thev were miracles. Ia referring to them 1
as such as mean that, in spite of difficul- <
ties, they have attained remarkable excel- )
ience. But every worthy individual is self
made "by the grace of God. Even under '
the most favorable circumstances, a man, J
if he is to amount to anything, must make \
himself. It, therefore, behooves us to go
to work upon ourselves. We ought to
take ourselves more seriously in the high- 1
est possible sense. We have capacities. I
God has made us for some good. He has <
given us each one talent- at least. The ! .
sons of God, we do not belong to the rub- j
bish pile of the universe. If we will take '
ourselves in hand?if we will be ourselves )
and not try to be somebody else- if we j
will serve our own mission?if we will
faithfully and honestly accept and meet (
the situation as we find it, wc will <ur- J
prise ourselves sooner or later when the i
results will beerin to appear. .
W Xllltf ivy lUCj ud in ui <xs? I lie
eld Komans put it?''"dum vivimus vivi- 1
thus." But let us insist upon life in the 1
best possible sense. There is capita! ?
enough to begin with. We can develop a
sturdier fiber. We need not be ordinary,
commonplace, vulgar, inane and insipid.
Mediocrity is inexcusable. We can be
h'gh-toned, we can be splendid specimens
of manhood and womanhood, we can be 1
our best and dd our best, we can be our i
true selves by growing more and more into ]
the likeness of the strong Son of Man. j

electrical Disasters Only Indirectly Due j
' to This Current.
When fatalities or damages seemingly
attributable to electricity occur,
the popular belief is that electricity
itself, as a force, is directly responsible
for them, says a writer in Cassierks
Magazine. In fact, however, there are
rew forces of nature that are loss
harmful in themselves than electricity.
The damage done by floor or tornado,
i'or instance, is done directly' by the
water or the air. But electricity, when
it works, usually does so indirectly or
by setting another of nature's forces
into operation. An exception to this
may be where the victim may have
been so weak, physiologically, that a
simple fall from a chair might Lave had
a similar result* But in the majority
of cases death from' electric shock is
shown to be due" to well defined chemical
changes in the blood or tissues, due
to the electric current. The damage
done also to gas and water pipes by
electrolysis, while primarily occasioned.
it is true, by the escape of electricity
from electric* railway circuits,
is not directly due to that force, but
rather to a secondary action, and that j

constituents of a r-aline solution

the result is not doe directly to elecfiieity,
and not even to the electric
current, but rather to the intense heat
which the electric current generates in
passing through the tree, which heat
suddenly converts the sap into steam,
and the latter in expanding, if the force
be sufficient, tears tho tree to pieces.
Ir* the force is not sufficiently powerful,
the effect may be only to loosen the
bark of the tree in places, the evidence
ol' which may last for years, but may
not be otherwise hurtful to t!:e tree's
growth. So far. indeed, from electricity
being necessarily fatal to animal
or vegetable life, it is well known that
in proper quantities it is decidedly beneficial.
and. when properlly applied,
acts as a stimulus to vegetation. An
excess of current, however, will also
kill vegetation. In hoth of these cases
its action is due to the chemical
changes which it effects in the growing
plant or tree.
The injuries to shade trees by contact
with wires carrying heavy currents,
such as electric light or traction
wires, is mostly mechanical, an
arc forming at the point of contact of
the wire with the branch or limb and
burning away the wood, leaving the
tree stunted at such places. In very
stormy, wet weather, it is not uncommon
to have large trees spt on fire by
the escane of current from abutting
electi-ic light wires, the rain, paradox^
ical as it may seem, by improving tlie
conductivity of the circuit down the

Sherman's Caustic Retort.
General Sherman was possessed of
a very dry humor, his sense of .the ridiculous
was very highly developed,
and he often convulsed his staff and
friends by witty remarks on the most
unexpected occasions. This side of
his character is aptly illustrated by an
incident related of the story of the
march to the sea. In one of the battles
a corps commander was struck on
the head by a rifle bullet, but only
slightly wounded. When news of the
occurrence reached Sherman reports
had it that the wounded general's
cheek and nose had been carried away,
but that he bravely persisted in remaining
In action. Sherman was
greatly alarmed and made his way immediately
to the side of his officer,
who in the meantime had tied up his
head and had gone about bis business.
When Sherman rode up, protestations
were useless, the bandage must come
off and he must see the wound to
judge for himself of the officer's fitness
to remain on the field. When he

No More Stale Eggs.
/. voice ont of West Virginia brings
the glad tidings that the world is
about to emerge from the era of stale
eggs. The day is coming when th(
egg, packed though it may be, will noi
be false.
li. H. Hite, chief chemist of the ag
ncv/ltural experiment station of the
West Virginia University, after ex
peiim-ents covering more than twe
years, announces that he has hit upor
a method which will preserve the
freshness in eggs almost indefinitely
The method was simple. An alco
holic solution of salicylic acid is pre
pai-ed, and into it the egg is dippec
for a few moments only. If the egg
remained submerged longer the acid
would penetrate the shell. Then th?
egg is wrapped in cotton and packed
in boxes through which the aic maj
readily circulate.
The object in dipping the eggs intc
the- solution is to destroy any germs
or microbes that may adhere to the
shell, and which, if they should gair
access to the egg, would effect its de
composition! The cotton acts as> s
filter and prevents the access of othei
germs from the air.
Eggs stored in lime water and water
glass solutions will almost invari
ably crack or burs: on boiling. ThiJ
is usually attributed to a tiny bit o1
air enclosed in the shell. The rea'
explanation Is to be found in the facl
that the old solutions weaken the
shell. .
The fresh eggs treated with the
alcoholic solution of salicylic acid anc
wrapped in cotton are not weakened
In any way, and behave just like frest
egiss when boiled.

In local treatment of female iDs Paxhe

\ a revelation in cleansing and healing
owcr; it kills all disease germs which .'^9

Paxtine never fails to curd pelvic
atarrh, nasal catanh, sore throat, sore d
louth and sore eyes, because these
iseases are all caused by inflammation
f the mucous membrane.
For cleansing, whitening and pre- >
