THE UN-JUST STEW-ARD.
And the lord praised the un-just stew-ard, for he thought he had done a wise thing.
Je-sus said we were to use our wealth so as to make friends who will take us in their homes should we be-come poor.
He that is faith-ful in small things is faith-ful al-so in large ones. And he that is un-just in the least, is un-just in much more.
No man can serve two mas-ters.
As Je-sus drew near to Je-ru-sa-lem those who were with him thought that the king-dom he spoke of was close at hand.
He said to them, A rich man had to go to a far land, so he called his ten ser-vants that he might leave his goods in their charge. To the first one he gave five tal-ents. A tal-ent is a large sum in sil-ver. To the next he gave two tal-ents; and to the third one. And he said to them, Make a good use of these gifts till I come back; and then went on his way.
Then he that had five tal-ents went out and bought and sold and made five tal-ents more. And the one that had two did the same. But he that had one dug a hole in the earth and hid his lord's mon-ey.
