THE KING AND THE UNEMPLOYED.
International Bible Lesson for Aug.
14, MO (Matt. 20:1-16).
In the Orient, workmen seeking
employment take up their stations In
the market place, or bazaar, ready to
respond to the call of any persons
looking for laborers. Tho unemployed
take their tools with them and nro
ready at a moment's notice to cngago
In their occupations as soon as want
ed. Employment Agency.
Into such an open air employment
agency this parable represents tho
owner of a vineyard coming nt differ
ent hours of the day to hire vino
dressers. At G o'clock In the morn
ing he hired all that were In readiness
for work, at 9 o'clock he returned and
engaged those who had come later, at
noon he went forth nnd secured an
other relny, at 3 o'clock In the after
noon ho sought nnd found another
contingent of the unemployed, and at
5 o'clock p. m. an hour before sunset,
and the close of the Jewish dny, he
discovered some who had been over
looked all day and sent them In to get
at least one hour of work accomplish
ed. At these different periods, "early
In the morning." "the third hour."
"the sixth hour." tho ninth hour," and
"the eleventh hour," the "lord of the
vineyard" went out to hire and actual
ly did hire laborers to work In his
vineyard.
Agreement Concerning Wages.
These men were paid strictly ac
cording to the agreement. Those who
were hired In the morning agreed be
fore hand to put In the whole day for
a penny, equal to about 15 cents of
United States money, the average
wage of laborers In the time of Christ
In Palestine. The others had gone
to work without any stipulation ns to
compensation, the householder mere
ly stating that he would pay them
whatever was right They agreed to
leave the matter entirely with tho
owner of the vineyard.
There were no labor unions In
those days, but there evidently waa
the same spirit which has resulted
In their organization, for when these
men at the close of the day came to
be paid off, every man, those who
had worked all day and those who
had only got In one hour, received a
penny apiece, there was a good deal
of murmuring and complaining over
the Inequality of the payment. Why
should all men be treated Just alike
In the matter of reward for service
rendered? Is It right to pay these
eleventh hour workmen the same
wages as those who have borne the
burden and heat of the day? At first
blush we all say. No!
Skilled Labor Most Valuable.
But why not? If one man can do
as much in an hour as another man
can do In a day, why should he not
receive tho same wages? Is not
skilled labor more profitable than
common labor? The coal heaver goes
to his work at 7 o'clock In the morn
ing and knocks off at 5 or 6 nt night;
the bank cashier does not get to the
bnnk until 9 o'clock and closes at
the stroke of 3. Will you Insist that
he shall bo paid no more than tho
coal heaver? Men are paid for what
they know, as well as for what they
can do. Society has to reward men
for knowing how to do things right,
and the more things you know how to
do better than anybody else tho high
er price you will get for your output.
We pay for brains more than for
brawn, these days, though never In
the world's history was brawn so
highly appreciated and rewnrded as
now. So these one hour laborers may
have been actually worth more to
the vino dresser, than all the day
laborers put together. In which case
tho all-day laborers had no reason to
complain of favoritism.
Instead of finding fault with tho
men who only worked ono hour the
all-day laborers should have pitied
them. They were able to look about
and see what they accomplished,
while these last workmen had only
Just begun. Think of tho service of
Stephen ns compared with that of
Paul; how little tho first martyr was
permitted to do. Instead of con
gatulatlng ourselves that wo were
called bo late, wo ought to be ashamed
that we have had time only to accom
plish so little. To bo saved nt the
eleventh hour Is much but to go empty
handed Into tho presence of the King
is a matter of eternal regret.
Eternal Life the Reward.
These laborers all shared In tho
reward alike thoy oach received a
penny. What Is tho penny In the par
able but a flguro of speech repre
senting the reward of the righteous,
eternal llfo? This is tho general, uni
versal all-Inclusive emolument be
stowed upon thoso who labor in tho
vineyard to the closo of life's day,
More than this could not bo bestowed
less than this could not bo received.
Life, life, eternal life is tho bestow-
raent of tho owner or tho vineyard.
And the man who has spent a Ufa
time in tho service gets that, and the
man who enters tho doorway In the
hour and article of death receives it
also. Paul, after thirty years of labor
took his penny, and the dying thief
was rowarded in tho same way,
Whether one enters tho Bervlco early
in the morning or at tho third, tho
sixth, tho ninth, or the elovonth'hour,
tho reword is sure and they share and
share alike.

Strong Community Interest In Public
Improvements Is Soon Aroueed and
Value of Property Increases How
School Yards and Highways Can Be
Made Attractive.
Who has not visited n town or com

school houses and public buildings re
;olvo tho needed attention and where
the general atmosphere Is ono of In-
plratlou nnd real uplift? Did you
?ver stop to think what a real asset
that Is for every property owner in
uch a community?
Futlrely nslde from the pleasure and
iatlsfaction of seeing nnd enjoying the
lurroundlugs, the financial side is not
to be ignored. Suppose your property
for any one of many reasons were to
go on the market. Would a prospec

lect a slovenly kept one? The most
desirable class of people and more of
them locate in tho well kept towns.
This helps pay taxes and widens so
cial and educational horizons. The ad
vantages are all and always In favor
of a community that takes pride In its
Improvements and appearance.
There is great need of more Interest
In rural improvement by the Individual
farmer, as well as the resident in a
town. This work can well begin at
home, and a few hours well directed
in picking up about the place, getting
the machinery out of the front yard
and picking up the debris about the
house will have n stimulating effect
upon every member of the household,
not to mention tho amount contributed
to tho pleasure of passers by.
With very little trouble and nt a
moderate expense a lawn can be well
kept and made attractive with shrubs
and flower beds. When a man's own
dooryard is clean he can Join with oth
ers lu tho improvement of school
yards, cemeteries, highways, public
buildings, etc. Many school yards are
"a sight to behold" and tho teacher Is
not nlways to bo blamed. Children
readily reflect the conditions they llud
nt home, und if they are accustomed
to throw all sorts of unsightly objects
In the ynrd at home they will likely do
the same nt school.
In many cases the school yards need
remodeling nud perhaps some grading
done. Thero may be a lot of bowlders
to remove and n few trees to be set.
A "bee" called for the purpose would
bring In men nnd women, young nnd
old, tho men doing the heavy work
nud tho women providing coffee and
perhaps a lunch. Aside from the ini
provement the occasion might provide
a genuine picnic and be thoroughly
enjoyable. The operations can be con
tinued to tho setting of shade trees
along tho highways. In most rural
cemeteries a little time could bo well
spent In maklug them more attractive
The highways are of all Importance.
Of course, the roads themselves will
be kept In passablo condition, rocks re
moved und tho roadbed Improved with
gravel or macadam ns clrcumstauces
permit. But do not stop there. The
improvement should extend to tho lim
its of tho highwny. ilrush, unsightly
stumps, stones, wild growth, etc.
which do not actually lit into tho land
scapo should receive attention. If there
Is a strong community Interest In rural
improvement tho town ofllcials will see
to it that things are cleaned up.
This Is whero public Interest In pub
lie improvements applies. Citizens. In
dlvidually nud collectively, should take
more Interest in tho nppcarnnco of the
town and its progress. Working nlon
these general lines, not to mention
many minor ones, n community will
soon establish for Itself n flue reputa
tlon which will travel far in these days
of improved means of transportation.
In this general connection uover miss

let Borne one else, who can, do tho

RIGHT USE OF. WEALTH.
BY EDWIN WHITTIER CASWELL,
D. D.
Text But thou shalt remember ths
Lord thy God; for It Is He that glveth
thee power to get wealth. Deut.,
vill., 18.
fr
It Is customary when speaking of
wealth to enumerate Its evils. We
all know that the Inordinate, miser
ly love of money Is the tap root of the
whiskey evil, the slavery evil, tho
gambling evil, the social evil, the liv
ing for pleasure evil and the- capital
nnd labor war evil.
Dut when a man like John Stewart
Kennedy departs this life bestowing
from thirty to forty millions of prop
erty to a multltudo of noble charities
the public beholds a more optimistic
side of the ncqulsltion of riches.
Wealth Itself cannot be nn evil any
more than the wealth of intellect.
wealth of heart or wealth of charac
ter and Influence nre evil. It Is only
when one of the gifts of the Creator
is made a god to bo worshipped that
it becomes sinful. "Ye cannot servo
(or worship) God nnd mammon,"
Abraham and Job were millionaires
in a time when a million was equal
to fifty millions of present values.
Solomon's wealth was beyond all com
putation. He asked only for wisdom,
but received both riches of mind and
treasure given him by the Almighty.
Zaccheus and Cornelius, two converts
of the New Testament time, were men
of large property. :lo one In Bible
history Is condemned because of pos
sessing great riches, "for the Lord
maketh poor and He maketh rich."
The power to acquire riches Is as
much a God given gift as the power
to move men by oratory or to influ
ence men by love, or the power to
write like poets, philosophers, histor
ians and scholars, or the power to re
veal nature's secrets, like Newton,
Watt, Bell, Morse and Edison. Tho
rich men of the past have aided In
these wonderful discoveries and shap
ed the destinies of nations.
George Washington gave not only
himself to his country, but poured out
his gold in the hour of the Revolu
tion's needs. Stephen Glrard, of Phil
adelphia, loaned large amounts to the
Republic, and with the remainder of
his money founded a college of learn
ing for fatherless boys. Peter Cooper
has embalmed his name in the mem
ory of millions; the name of William
E. Dodge will never perish from our
annals.
We do not need to search history
for characters among the wealthy who
have been an honor to tho race and a
blessing to many of their fellow be
ings. The number of living phllan-
troplsts is Increasing rapidly every
year. We could All a whole column
with the names of munificent givers
who make possible our churches, hos
pitals, orphan asylums, colleges, uni
versities, our travellers' aid societies,
homes for the aged and Infirm, our
children's aid societies, our libraries,
museums and charity organizations.
There Is no question that the crav
ing of all men Is for brotherliness,
helpfulness, kindness and friendliness,
and this soul hunger Is being fed in a
larger degree to-day than ever before.
The rich and the poor are coming to
gether In hnrmonlous unity, ushering
in tho day when the war between
capital and labor will cease forever.
The river of wealth is as potential
for good as for evil. Let all, there
fore, endeavor to turn tills mighty
tide Into the broad channels of human
needs, for everything Hvetb whither
the river cometh. Then the great
ministry of wealth will not be to turn
the world into a wilderness, but tho
wilderness Into tho garden of tho
Lord.
Out of Ourselves.
To look out of ourselves and away
from ourselves; away from our nar
row virtues and our sinnll attain
ments; away from our dangers, our
sinfulness, our folly; to look wholly
nway from ourselves, and to gaze con
stantly at the fulness of beauty and
goodness In tho creation and provi
dence of God, will not this touch tho
cold heart, and moisten the dry eye
with a humble and grateful tear?
James Froeman Clarke.
Heavenly Light.
Heavenly Father, I pray that Thou
wouldst enable me to glorify Thee In
my ordinary llfo. May the common
fellowship burn and glow with the
ministry of grace! Let tho smallest
service Bhlne with the kindly light of
Thy presence. May tho entire round

RAISING GOURDS FOR PIPES.
Department of Agriculture Trying to
Interest Farmers In Industry.
' Uncle Sam 1b sending out a circular
to show farmers how thoy can rniso
gourds and make pipes for smokers at
a profit The gourds do not grow aa
rapidly as the gourds of ancient times,
but it is said they can bo produced
in almost any part of this country
from seed that Is supplied by the gov
ernment, with the directions for
planting and for making pipes.
In South Africa the gourd Ib called
tho calabash. Boers made pipes of
the gourds for many years, but tho
world took little notice until after tho
Boer war, when the English began to
Import them. Later the demand
spread to the United States, and now
there Is a large market for the pipes
at $8 to $12 each, according to tho
circular of the Department of Agricul
ture. Tho Boers tried to monopolize tho
seed of the gourd, but a large supply
has been secured, nnd there Is pros
pect that tho crop will become gen
eral. It is asserted that the gourd pipes
color like meerschaum and are highly
appreciated by smokers. As no two
gourds are exactly alike, each smok
er has a pipe of special pattern, and
as the sizes vary80 much the work of
preparing them Is dono by hand in
stead of machinery.
The Passenger's Ruse.
As a train- was approaching Shef
field a man seated In one of tho com
partments noticed a lady looking
troubled, and asked her what was tho
matter.
"I've lost my ticket, and they will
charge me with fraud," Bald the lady.
"Oh. never mind, I'll work a Ilttlo
dodge with the guard," and he got his
own ticket out of his pocket and toro
the corner off and gnve the ticket to
the lady.
When the train arrived at Shef
field the guard collected all the tick
ets but one.
"Where Is your ticket, sir?" he ask
ed of the gentleman.
"I gave It to you."
"No, you didn't," replied the guard.
"I shall have to call the station mas
ter." When the station master arrived ho
said:
"Where is your ticket, young man?"
"I gave it to the guard. See If ho
has a ticket with a corner torn off,"
replied the sharp man.
On searching, of course the guard
found It.
"Now," said the young man, "see if
thl3 fits It," as he gave him the corner
of the ticket.
A look of surprise came over tho
guard's face, and he crept out of tho
carriace dumbfoundpd.
