THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1010. Jgfaturday Qight Kollrc y RcT F- DAVISON JalllJ Rutland, VL VARIETY OF ENDOWMENT IN THE KINGDOM. International Bible Lesson for Oct. 0, 10 (Matt. 25:14-30). Heretical ns It may seem to say It, It Is not true that all men aro created Ireo and equal. As a figure of speech and of high sounding rhotorlc, our fathers made their defiant chnllcngo to tho world, but the statement will not stand Investigation. It Is nclthor true- of nations, nor of Individuals. Al mighty God does not start every man upon tho samo plane with tho same advantages and allowances. It Is truo of nations and of Individuals that unto one "He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one." Inequalities of Life. Some people object to that distribu tion, and declare that there should bo n readjustment on n more equitable basis. Thoy complain at tho inequali ties of life, and murmur becauHO all men are not upon on equal footing. It Is not true that all the advantages and comforts of llfo are exclusively enjoyed by tho five talent people and that everything Is denied to those of one talent. Some of tho most miserable people on earth are those who are clothed In "purple and flno linen and fare sumptuously every day," and many a day laborer, coming homo at the end of the week with his meager wages in his pocket, has not a care nor a vexation in life. We say of some men, Oh. that we had their advantages, their houses, their servants, their automobiles, then would our lives be full of sunshine, and wo should never know sorrow, nor pain! Great mistake! The man who has five talents, and realizes It is the man who knows the meaning of the sharpest pain, who carries dally the heaviest burden and who because of his refinement of sensibility Is ex posed to the greatest degree of suf fering. Whatever may bo our original en dowments every man should strive for his best and make the most of life. The man who Is perfectly satisfied with his position, and has no ambi tion to rise In the world, has already begun to die. Talents are given, not to hoard, but to use. Tho arm that is not used shrivels and withers away. Nature takes revenge for neglect by destroying the power to do. The In dolent man exhausts himself, little by little. Drain work does not destroy life, it lengthens it. Worry kills more people than work. The brain was made for activity, and the more a man does the more he can do up to a cer tain limit. However brilliant a man's endowments, if he do not use them, put them out at interest, turn them i over and over, they will rust and cor- roue ana no who siunuu mo ub u b will end it as a beggar. Activity the Law of Growth. 1 Activity is the law of growth. Ho who would be strong must use his strength. He will be the nblest man who every day puts his ability to good use. He will bo the most powerful preacher. In the long run, who makes every occasion a great occasion, who will make as much effort to save one man as to save a thousand men, and who always keeps himself at his besL When the Israelites In the desert sought to save some of their manna for the next day It "bred worms and stank." And many a preacher, think ing to save a good sermon for a larg er and more appreciative audience has found his pot Bermon fall Hat when ho brought forth tho mouldy production. The reason why soma preachers aro withering up and find ing themselves not wanted is because for ten years they have been preach ing old sermons that are dry as dead men's bones. Politicians do not spend much time threshing out dead lssuoa. The world moves, and they who lead tho procession muBt ride on the band wagon. How about tho man with one tal ent? Well, It is ever more true, that the majority of them bury It In a napkin, and spend their time criticis ing others. The fact is, the man who will bury one talent because he has no more, would do the same If he had Ave hundred. He thinks he wouldn't, but ho does not know his own heart. He who made him knows him better than ho knows himself, which Is tho reason that he only got one. One Talent Men. History' Is fragrant with tho deeds of one talent men. Some of the world's brightest achievements were wrought by men of one talent. They were handicapped In their birth, in their color. In their education, In their pecuniary circumstances, In their lack of all tho things which to us seoin es sential to success, but they faced the situation, conquered the dlfllculties, refused to surrender to discourage ment, nailed their colors to tho mast, and reached the goal of their ambition. They had but one talent, but like the nimble Blxpence It won for them shil lings and pounds. Most of the poetry and Bclenco und laws and constitu tions and deliverances of the ages wero born, like Jesus, in a manger, and hod Herod's who tried to blay them, and Judas' who sought to betray them, and Pllato's who condemned them, and rabbles who crucified them, till thoy proved their divinity by bursting forth from the sepulchre Into glorious resurrection. The one talent men are tho majority on earth, and among tho crowned ones of eternity the ono talent men will be conspicuous. Uncle Remus Memory Will Be Perpetuated v. !?sn:'..ii . !' a. Tho memory of tho man who made Mis' Meadows famous is to bp perpetuated by the purchase of the homo of tho late Joel Chandler Harris by the Uncle Homus Memorial association of Atlanta, Gn. The name of the place where the noted author wrote hl fascinating; stories "Snap Uenn Farm" and that of the house "Tho Sign of the Wrens' Nest" are typical of Uncle Remus. Year after year a pair of wrens built their nest In the mail box that hung ot the gate, and when the attention of Mr. Harris was called to this ho arranged thnt the letters bo delivered nt another place, so that the liltlo birds might not be disturbed. It Is n quaint and homelike plnco. Tho wide expanse of veranda Is shaded by vines and made inviting with great armchairs and hammocks. In one corner of the porch aro n chair and table at which Mr. Harris wrote. When ono is seated on the veranda nnd peeps out between the vinos one might well seo Ur'er Rabbit limping cautiously from behind a clump of bushes and snlllin' the air. In a nearby pasture "Ole Sis Cow" stands In the shade, chewing her cud nnd switching tho flies with her tall, and In a tnll poplar that stands sentinel at the door the mocking bird sings day and night. Mr. Harris Is seen standing in front of tho house. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Negro Educator Who Was Hon ored by tho King of Denmark. Copenhagen, Oct. 4. King' Frederick received Hooker T.
