Mr. Ellis Discusses the Workers

The International Sunday School Les
son For July 26 Is "The Pounds and
the Talents"—Luke 10:11-27.
(By William T. Ellis)
An Industrial commission has of
late been hearing evidence on a wide
range of problems affecting work
and wages. Incidentally, both em
ployers and workmen seem to have
rejected the new schemes of "scien-

tiflc efficiency" as being unprofitable
to both. The head of one great cor
poration declared that there is no
system of efficiency like having
faithful employes, each of whom is
doing his best and expecting a just
reward for his labors.
That same man remarked that
"one trouble of our times is that
I most men are thinking how they
may get rich quickly, while few are
thinking about sheer fidelity and
| personal efficiency." He pointed out
j what the warp and woof of our na-
I tlonal life needs just now. We can
I get along handsomely without any
| more "captains of industry" or
"high financiers"; but lack of the
faithful doers of life's daily tasks
spells ruin for the nation itseif. The
1 ominous verdict that the "man fac
tor" has been responsible for many
! recent railway wrecks should set us
i all thinking. The present need is
the old one which Kipling voices:
"Creation's cry goes up on high,
From age to cheated age.
God send the man who does the work
For which he draws the wage."
When Even Becomes Odd
All this is gathered up in one of
the peerless stories of cameo clear
ness told by Jesus. He drew a pic
ture of a ruler going afar for a long
time. To each of ten assistants, or
agents, or stewards, or servants, he
gave one pound (about sixteen dol
lars in present currency.) They
were to trade therewith until their
master should return, and then ren
der him an accounting. These men
were left with a large degree of in
dependence and to their own Initia
tive.
Come to think of it, the parable
represents something like an experi
ment in socialism. All the men were
equipped alike. They were started
on equal terms. All had the same
general obligation. But as in every
other similar experience since the
beginning of time, the human factor
prevailed. What started even ended
odd. One man returned to his master
a tenfold increase: one a fivefold in
crease, and a third no increase at all.
In another place Jesus told a sim
ilar story of the three men who were
given the custody of various sums
of money in talents; one had five
talents, one two, and another one.
The first two doubled their capital,
and the third buried his talent in
the earth. It was the man with the
one pound who wrapped it up in a
napkin, although a common saying
speaks of hiding one's talent In a
napkin, based on a misapprehension
on this parable. The two stories are
illustrations of the same essential
principle of fidelity and efficiency.
Like every other alert public speaker,
Jesus varied His illustrations from
time to time.
Trusting Our Helpers
Of the ten servants to whom a
pound each had been given, two re
ported themselves as successful.
They were a good proportion. Seven
remain entire unaccounted for in
the story. Perhaps they absconded
with their pounds. The parabje
faithfully mirrors life. It is a rare
helper who can accept a commission
and then do it well, without the
presence of an overseer's eye. An
employer of thousands of men told
an Industrial commission the other
day that there are more ten-thou
sand-dollar Jobs waiting for men
than there are men fit for ten-thou
sand dollar Jobs.
In this story efficiency follows
faithfulness. They who succeed are
they who are true; and they who fall
are lacking in character qualifica
tions. The master employer did not
get, nor expect, the same returns
from all. But to both the successful
servants his approbation was, "Well
done, thou good servant," and each
was rewarded according to his abil
ity. If anybody gets anything elße
out of this parable than a primary
lesson in faithfulness, he has missed
the first purpose of the telling of the
story. It was fidelity, always fidel
ity, that Jesus sought.
The Two Classes
The man who made ten pounds
was given the oversight of ten cities.
The man who gained five pounds was
appointed over five cities. Those ten
men started even, but the faithful
ones had acquired capacity in serv
ice, for faithfulness begets fruitful
ness. There is no school for success
equal to service.
The craven who would take no
chances —he was so engrossed In en
tertaining his fears that he had no
time to do his master's appointed
work—wrapped his pound in a nap
kin and then laid his nonproductive
ness on his lord. He had been so busy
thinking about himself that he had
forgotten the one essential thing;
namely, that he himself was worth
thinking about only as he did his
work in the world.
By a strange inversion of logic,
they who think most about them
selves are commonly the ones least
worth thinking about. It is the no
accounts who are ever taking ac
count of themselves. Of course, this
inefficient servant was voluble with
his excuses; ability to coin excuses
seems to be the one craft in which
the ineffective excel. This servant's
failure was by no means his own
fault, he declared. Of course not;
the times were out of Joint; the so
cial system was wrong; employers
were high-handed and unjust!
There you have them as they have
existed from time immemorial, and
as they will be to the end; the two
great classes of men: the workers
and the whiners. One class does
things, and offers for the world's in
spection a finished task; the others
whine because the thing simply
cannot be dona. In one of these two
categories each of us surely has a
place.
There is not a "down-and-out"
begging on the highways who can
not tell a plausible hard-luck story.
He is sure that fate is against him;
that the industrial system is all
wrong; that- h« never had a chance;
that he is a victim of cruel capital;
that the world owes him a living
and does not want to pay its debts,
and so on, ad nauseum.
Without ignoring the Injustices
which abound in the world, let us
: deal frankly with this cvraven spirit,
which is worse than any of the other
evils of life. We need often to tell
ourselves the old story of the coward
whose sword war broken and who
fled from the battle in despair. A
prince picked up the broken blade
and with it won a glorious victory
in that same battle.
Some think that the master in this
story dealt too sharply with the
derelict servant. Our mood nowa
days is one of sentimentality, which
would rather send flowers to con
victed murderers than to send them
to the gallows. Joseph Parker has
a wise word on this theme:
"When Jesus spoke a severe word,
the severity came out of the truth of
its' application. Is it not a harsh
thing to call a man a liar? Not if
he be false. Is It not very unsocial
to describe any man as a hypocrite?
Not\ if he be untrue. "Wheerin,
then, is this wickedness of calling
men names? In the misapplication
of the plethets. It is wicked to call
a man true if we know him to be
untrue. There is an Immoral cour
tesy; there is a righteous reproach.
We do not use harsh words when we
tell men what they really are."
Wanted: More Great Men
Observers not a few are bewailing
the lack of great men in our time.
One clpar answer to this is that not
enough are in the school of great
ness, which is called fidelity. Great
ness is not an accolade, lpid on by
the stroke of fortune. Greatness is
a growth, and more persons have
potentalitles for it than ever they
realize. Most of us could do great
things if we were in the habit of
growing in our present tasks; but
we prefer to do little things in a lit-/
tie way. We covet safety rather than
strength. The average man is look
ing for a sure salary rather than for
a worthy task. Besides, we too often
want to go Ashing or to go to the
"movies," or to the baseball game;
when the spirit of greatness wouid
bid us 6tlck to the taks. The re
ward of work well done Is more work
to do; and whoever gets In the clas
sification of greatness finds himself
the servant of his work.
Underlying this picture is the
great truth that the king was de
pendent on his stewards; even as
Christ lets the welfare of His king
dom rest on the faithfulness of His
friends. All good causes, even the
I growth of the gospel itself, depend
on the fidelity of those who stand as
stewards. And that puts the parable
squarely up to all of us in the every
day of life.
PRESIDENT SAYS HE IS NEUTRAL
LN ALL STATE POLITICAL FIGHTS
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, July 24. Declaring
that Representative Fitzgerald had an
erroneous impression when he stated
that the Administration regarded him
and his Congressional colleagues from
New York c'ty as "political buca
neers," President Wilson to-day told
his visitors that his policy in all the
Democratic State fights was one of
neutrality. The President expressed
his willingness to receive Mr. Fitz
gerald and other New York Demo
crats in Congress, who are to meet
Monday to consider the lack of recog
nition they contend they have receiv
ed from the Administration in ques
tions of patronage.
Secretary of State Bryan's indorse
ment of Lawrence B. Stringer in the
Illinois senatorial fight was entirely
individual.
