It took them (apparent ly) shout 30 minutes to get her suited, then an installment worked over and choked her down, a second mortgage got tangled up in the fan- belt, and then they ran out of gas and they did not have a jimmy to bay any with at the filling station, so they evidently walked on back to the pool-room. If they had succeed ed in their endeavors, I would have been riding a bicycle now instead of palking. — Little Boy Breaks Arm.

They were on the way to Jerusalem, and the dis ciples thought that immediately upon their arrival therw Jesus would begin the exercise ’of his kingdom rule. Christ taught the disciples the reality of bis coming and the setting up of a real kingdom, but indicated that there would he a long- delay after his as-, cenaion before he would return. I. The Absent Nobleman (v. 12). Going away to receive a kingdom was a common occurrence among the Jews. Members of the Herodian fam ily bad gone to Itoiue and secured their appointment to rule over Pales tine. This pictures Jesus going hack ’to God to receive his kingdom. Jesus ascended on high to receive -from God the Father a kingdom. He will return when the fullness of the Gentiles he come In. Though the time of his re turn be unknown, and even delayed, let no one mistake the oertainty of his coming. II. The Distribution of the Pounds (v. 13). ; These pounds represent Christ's gifts to his servants. When Christ as cended he gave gifts to men (Kplie- slans 4:7-12). To each servant was given the same amount, showing that 1° all a certain gift had been given, and therefore all will be held respoiT-- sible for Its use. The distribution was made hy the sovereign. The servants did not choose as to whether they would have a gift at all. or even Its amount. It was also a purposeful distribution. They were to put their gifts to use during his absence. What the nobleman demanded was faithful ness. III. The Rebellious Citizens (v. 14). They hated him and sent messen gers after him. notifying titan of their refusal to be subject to him. This pictures the unbelief of the Jews after Christ’p ascension, and their repudi ation of his ride. It also pictures the unbelieving world In Its hatred and rejecti on of (JjrisL- IV. The Accounting (vv. 15-27). 1. Its certainty (v. 1C). Christ will surely bring every one to account for the use made of his gifts. Men may go on in proud unbelief and cebrttTonr but God never forgets. He has appointed a day in which be will judge the world (Acts 17.:31). 2. Tlie time (v. 15) It will take place when Jesus conies back to the earth. His return will take place when lie has received his kingdom. He will receive Ids kingdom when he asks the Father (Ps. 2:8). His delay In asking the Father for his kingdom is because of Ids long suffer Ajlend^le, May 4—Detour sign? on Barnwell road have Allendale its first cross-country paved highway.

(1) The first report .(vv. 1C. 17). He did not say. “I have made ten pounds,” but "Thy pound hath gained ten pounds." He recognized the Lord’s ownership. To tills the Lord replied hy 'commendation. He praised him and promoted him. making him ruler over ten cities. (2) The second report (vv. 18. 10). In this case the pound had gained five pounds. He did not get the Lord's commendation for he had not done so well, hut was appointed to a plaefc of rulerslilp over five cities. The reward In each-case was proportioned to faith fulness during the Lord’s absence. 4. Judgment upon the unfaithful (vv. 20-27). (1) His report (vv. 20. 21). This report was entirely bad. He had not put the pound to use but laid It away, throwing the blame upom-the- Ix>rd. He asserted that the character •of tire lx<>rd was touch as to produce fear. ' (2) Condemnation (vv. 22. 23).
