lXTItOIJUCTIOX.-Man expositors have found
uimh diUiuulty in attempting to interpret the
Scilptuic appointed for toilay'o lesson. Some of
tliim, Ciijct.m for example, liavo declared that
tho senss was obscure and luve abandoned all
liopo of solution. These scholars fell into one
serious mistake they Buppoied that the parable
was related by Jesus to set forth something in
tho steward which He desired to commend to
His disciples. Whereas, Ills object was Just the
leversd to exhibit a couise of life from which
Ho would deliver them. The passage must be
divided into two parts. The first part, Verses
1 to 8, the parable, e.hlblts a man who Is un
faithful to his emplojcr. The second part,
Veiscs 0 to 13, contuins the practical advice, or
instruction of Jesus, suggested by the parable,
designed to secure faithfulness in busineai on
the part ot His followers. The concrete nega
tive Is followed by the abstract positive. The
two taken together make an admirable address
on u Christian man's obligation to he upright in
nil secular matters. Probably tho subject Is
treated hero more completely than In any other
portion of God's word.
DISMISSED (Verses 1 and 2). The tteward ol
a rich man was tummarily discharged for dis
honesty, Evidently he had been greatly trust
ed. As was customary in eastern countries he
had general charge- of all things, acting freely
wunout direction of his lord (Gen. xll: 40), So
great was the confidence imposed that no super
vision was exercised, and It was a lung time
before his wrong doing became known. ' He had
taken advantage of his opportunity and used the
property of hta employer in a prodigal way, so
that the attention of the servants and friends
was attracted. It may be assumed that they
wouia not nastily expose the conduct, but at
last prompted by a meddlesome spirit, by malice
or by sincere love tor justice, they made
known what to tntra was a cause of scandal,
The proprietor called his faithless employee,
openly accused him ol his fault, required a set
tlement ol affairs, and announced his dismissal
from service. The guilty man had been over
taken and punished (Num. xxxils 23), Sin al
ways brings a man to grist (Prov.xl; si),
RESOLVED (Verses 8 and 0,-Out ot position,
deprived ot all means ot support bow khall the
steward obtain a livelihood? The question was
Involved In much difficulty because of his career,
A man's record is a luge part of hia capital.
He knew that na one would trust him in a place
requiring honesty, and be was aware, that be
cause ol his former mode of life he waa un
able to engage aa a common laborer, 'where
physical etrength waa necessary. The last thing
left, that ol begging, was not entertained for a
mement be was ashamed to descend to 'that de
graded station. He docs not appear to have
considered the act ot stealing be was in no
danger oi bscemlng.a criminal. But alter eomo
reflection be resolved upon his course. He
would make friends oi the neighbors round
about, those who had business relations with
bis old muter, so that their sympathies would
be with htm and not with their creditor. In
this way he would be able to enter Into their
homes and abide for a time at leut. This waa
piece ol strategy devised in a time ol great
extremity,
DEFRAUDED (Venes 6 to 7).-But how Shall
the steward make friends with toe eld debtors?

Miss Fanchon Thompson made her American
debut as Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera
house on Tuesday evening. The raising ot the
curtain was delayed until 8.30 o'clock, as she
was said to be suffering from a nervous chill,
but she showed no evidence of nervousness in
her performance. She did not, however, appear
as announced in the same opera on Thursday
night, her place being taken by Selma Kronold.
On Wednesday "Faust" was sung, with Lloyd
D'Aublgne as Faust, Miss Estey as Marguerite,
Clarence Whitehill as Mcphistopheles, and Will
iam P.mll as Valentine. This was much the
best representation this opera has had by this
company. Next week the "Mikado" will be
sung every evening and at the Wednesday and
Saturday matinees, a double cast alternating
during the week. The "three little maids from
school" will be Zelle De Lutsan, Grace Golden
and Louise Moissllnger, and for the part of
Koko Dlgby Bell has been specially engaged,

Mr. H. P. Dreyer, baritone, who left thLs city
August last for Europe to further his musical
studies under most eminent teachers, is now in
Florence, Italy. In a letter to Mr. Alfred Wool
er, of this city, his former teacher in voice
culture, Mr. Dreyer speaks very entertainingly
By a sharp practice that appealed to their lovo
of gain. While yet in position, and therefore
clothed with the necessary authority to act for
hia principal, he called the men to him and
reduced their indebtedness by a single stroke of
the pen. Two of the cases are cited, probably
us illustrations of others. The bill of the
drat man was discounted 59 per cent.; that of
the second man 20 per cent. This waa a fraud
ulent transaction, quite in harmony with all hia
former extravagance and recklessness. It was
all the more offensive, because it was done solely
In his own interest. He robbed his muter,
whose goods he had squandered, and did this
in the very moment of leaving the service, that
he might thereby gain for himself some con
sideration in the minds of the mtn whom he
had favored. That the plan would work there
could be no doubt. Such is the w-lflshness of
men that they readily take advantage of such
pecuniary gains. It my be that the steward
made a definite bargain by which to secure his
end.
COMMENDED (Verse 8). Now conies Into the
narrative a surprising element, over which some
have atumbled. The lord, that is the rich
roan who had been wronged (not Jesusvvho was
relsting the incident, as some suppose), on
learning what the steward had done, commended
the act, and Jesus adds that the children of this
world are wiser than the children ol light. The
asns would be better expressed if the word
wiser were translated more cunning. The rich
man acknowledged that his unfaithful steward
was prudent and able to adjust himself to un
fortunate circumstances, and Jesus declared that
that trait was more common among men ol the
world than among righteous people, that I J,
among Christians. And so we shall all confess.
One who lives a wayward life must exercise his
Ingenuity and resort to tricks of various kinds,
devising mischief co avert tho result of other
mischief (Pior, vii It), The commendation of
the rich man was not approval ol the fraud, but
an admiration oi tue oesire to be friendly with
debtors and a recognition of the shrewd method
by which this was accomplished. Tbla only
ehovrs the unjust steward in a worse light, as
compelled to retort to bad methods to gain a
worthy object.
ADVISED (Verse 0).-We are now done with
the parable in which a man, recreant to hi
trust, reaps the consequences dismissed from
service, forced to llva upon those who have been
partakers of hta wrong doing, It is a dark and
forbidding picture, enough to turn any away
from dishonest practices. Jesus next give ad
vice to Ills disciples that they may not tall
Into this mode ot life. He sasures them, bow.
ever, that it is proper to make friend with
the 'mammon of unrighteousnes," that is, with
worldly or irreligious rich people. He does not
mean that His disciples, in order to gain such
friendship, ahould lower their atandards ol right,
or (all into ways that aro bad certainly He doea
not mean that they shall resort to trickery or
fraud. He urges merely that they shall culti
vate the good will of people who are not church
members, which they can do In no better way
than by proving themselves thorough Christians.
A man of the world admires a good man, honor
him. And Jesus gitcs a reason (or Hi advice
that when the believer is unfortunate be may be
received into the abiding home ot the ricb;
that if, b mxy be cared Isr,
of hit travels and studies. Mr, Dreyer Is a dili
gent student, taking on an arcrago thirteen
lessons each week, as follows! Sit language

Probably the most interesting topic before the
instrumental musicians of Scranton and vicinity
is the organizing of Local No. 120 of the Ameri
can Federation of Musicians, wlilch Is affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor. For
many years the band and orchestra musicians
have talked of getting into the union, in order
to protect themselves from the competition of
unfair men, but until a few woeks ago it had
been only, talk. Now, however, they are rapidly
organizing and In a few days tho charter will
be closed. The cost of Joining has been set
at the nominal sum of 81, so that every one
desirous of Joining could have the privilege.

Pa Well, my son, the most effective man-trap
I know of is an old-fashioned rocking chair in
a dark room1.
ENTRUSTED (VerseB 10 to 12). That the fore,
going is the true meaning ot Jesus in Verso 9
will appear more clearly in what he tui in
Verses 10, 11 and 12. He comes out here in
the plainest terras and commends faithfulness by
several allusions. First, one must he careful
of little things. It one learns to he untrue
there he will -be untrue In great things. Here
is advice touching the secret of mast tempta
tions. Second, these earthly or temporal thins
bear a direct relation to heavenly and eternal
things, ratling in the handling of the former
prevents the securing of the latter. Man's con
dltlon Is such that he blunts those power that
look upward when ho wrongly uses those that
look downward. Who will be ablo to correct
tin Injury thus effctcd? Third, faithlessness
in regard to what belongs to another man pre
vents a due estlmato of what belongs to one's
self, and therefore diminishes the value of one's
possessions. Who will be oble to ovcrromc this
law In human nature? All tlvese three directions
strike at the very secret springs of sctlon, and
suggest what Is ot supremo importance in all in
tercourse with men. The elaboration of the
instruction would be attended with much profit.
DIVIDED (Verse IS). Now comes one of thofo
remarkable sentences In which Jesus shows hi
insight Into human nature and his acquaintance
with tho philosophy of right living. "No man
can serve two masters," etc. Of course he can
not. The sssertion is a truism. Here it has
two purposes. The unjust steward could not
serve the rich man who employed him and tho
mammon which he loved. Ills divided heart
caused him to break down. So every man wio
attempts to work for another must remember
that be must regard the other's Interest, and su
truly serve him, If he does not he will fall,
end sooner or later he will come into trouble.
Here is the law for all wage-earners. In liko
manner the Christian must remember that he
is to serve Christ alone (I Cor, x:31). That
consideration will be a uniform corrective. No
man will go astray in any relation ot life who
endeavors always to serve God. And be who
goes with a supremo desire to accumulate prop
erty (I Tim. viiO) is certain to lorget Ood, (all
Into sin, and end in trouble. An undivided
heart, loyal to its lawful master, is the safe
regulator and gutdo ol human conduct,
CONCLUSION, Our lesson pertains to tho
every day life of a follower of Christ. It en
Joins faithfulness to worldly trust and honesty
In money transactions. It commends the earn
est seeking of friendship among the ungodly
by swh noble character and innocent conduct
as will win approval. It asserts that danger
lies In disregarding little things, snd that the
earthly and temporal inrolv the heavenly and
eternal. It shows that the heart is the sett
and source ol the outwsrd life snd must be
single in it aims and purposes, and (hat a di
vided heart, resulting in an atempt at double
service, will bring disaster. Hereafter let no
one say, sa some bave said, that ths religion
ol Jesus has little or no reference to the duties
snd relations that lie all about us in this world.
Jesus came to set up here a kingdom ol right
eousness snd be invites men to become his disci
pies that they may know how to liro among their
(allow men. His words are lull ol wisdom, and,
it applied, human society would be speedily re
constructed and -men would become good aid
blessed.
AS VIEWED IN WASHIirOTOlff.
An Estimate of the Services of Con
gressman .Oonnell,
The Mowing-, personal lottor, received
by tho editor of this paper from a
well-known correspondent nt the na
tional capital, not being; Intended for
publication, sheds all tho more Unlit
upon tho subject of which It treats:
Washington, D. C, Oct. 29. To people In
Washington who know Representative Connell,
his defeat In the pending election, happily not
regarded possible, would seem little short ot
political madness. From every standpoint he la
entitled to the earnest support of every Re
publican voter and every other voter, inde
pendently of party affiliation, In the Eleventh
district.
As man, clllrcn, representative, he Is tntltted
to their confidence and respect. Ills private and
public life In Washington has bran above re
proach. Charitable and Just as a man, public
spirited M a citizen, conscientious, faithful, loy
al as a representative, he has been diligent, un
tiring, prompt In the discharge of hit official
duties. The most esactlng committee work at
ways found him, whether alck or well, at hit
post.
He was Indefatigable In thlt aphere of useful
ncss. He was always at work, and people ought
to understand that committee work, when con
scientiously performed, Is the most arduous and
vexatious of all congressional work. It Is an
obligation that very few rrpresentatlvea In con
gress respect, because It does not count with
the people. The average member of congress
wants to make a speech and he wants to make
several speeches. Ho seeks fame through the
broad columns of c Congressional Record. Ha
rrny spend his days and nights In riotous living.
He may be an examplar in everything that dis
credits private or public life, but n speech In
tho Record covers s multitude of flagrant trans
gressions. Mr. Connell was not of this sort. Ills days and
nlghls were spent in studying public questions
and In unremitting toll for advancement of his
constituency. Peoplexhero who knew htm Intl
m itely say That ho never knew an Idle moment.
No man In congress has been more punctml In
the performance of his public duties. What
ever the weather,' whatovcr the occasion, what
ever the condition of hit health, he was in his
scat In tho house or employed In Important and
vexatious committee work.
Fidelity to duty was the first consideration
with him. For thot reason he found no idle
moment, That he has discharged conscientious
ly, Intelllgontly and with exceptional alacrity
every obligation ns a representative cannot be
disputed.
So welt is it known in Washington that his de
feat would be accepted as a public calamity.
His high character, his modesty, his culture, his
broad mtndedness, his catholic spirit, his unset
flshncsa, his excellent Judgment nttractcd the
personal friendship of President McKinley. He
trusted him with his confidence, sought his opin
ion, relied upon his Judgment and he was an
oft invited and always welcome guest at the
white house.
Mr. Connell's real usefulness In public life
has Just begun. The Eleventh district ought to
send him back to congress without opposition.
The Interests of the people, it seems to one who
knows Mr. Connell's usefulness and value as a
representative, demand his re-election. "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant," should
be a platform enough for every voter in his
district next Tuesday.
Vote for Thomas P. Daniels for clerk
of the courts.
