WALKING WITH CHILDREN
(Kdga A. Guest)
I ke t" walk with children, for
1 (Iutc’s wonder in their eyes, I
^ n d every little incident is lovely I
with surprise.
Thpv'rc always finding beauty in ■
^ome unexpected spot,
ind nothing seems to bore thorn as!
they go at double trot;
t hJ grown-up men and women i
‘ , iri , so burdened dow,. with care I
rh.'V walk right by the splendors 1
1 tliat are .shining everywhere. j
. t 0 go with twelve-year-olds
1 and watch them race about,
A n ,| hear their shouts of gladness as I
they ferret marvels out, I
seem to find enchantment and
excitement till the way.
if this big and busy world were
‘ fashioned just for play;
Put the grown-up men and women
k: ow so much at which to scoff,
.■ 1)U ’i| think the shine of loveliness j
had all been grated off.
1 think there ought to be a law com
pelling every man,
•f ( , walk with children once a day,
or often as he can.
•fwould do him good tosee once more
the countless charms they find'),
’fwould rid of hate and .prejudice his |
overburdened mind. .
In hpite of all the care lie’s known
ai d wrongs he’s had to bear, j
The little folks would prove to him i
that joy is everywhere.

STEWARDSHIP
Lesson Text:
Deut. 8:11-18, II Cor. 0:6-8
Golden Text: It is required in stew
ards, that a man be found faith
ful.
Christian stewardship is the cardi
nal principal of the Christian life.
Lets see what is meant by a stew
ard. We, in the first place, might
consider a steward to be a fiscal
agent. If in temporal things a stew
ard is a fiscal agent, the same prin
ciple applies as regards a Christian
stewaru. It is well to notice that a
temporal steward is not a man of
part tune work. Then a Christian
s.eward is not a part time Christian.
We studied u. short whild ago
about the Sabbath being a day to
Worship God’—“remember the Sab
bath to keep it holy”—’but we must
go a little turther ar.d recognize the
tact that the other six days are
God's also. Stewardship requires as
much ot us six days us it does on the
Seventh. Furthermore stewardship is
the recognition and fulfillment of our
own privilege and responsibility, the
administration of our entire Hie in
accordance with tie ideals that were
given to us by Christ himselt. The

duces admiration of the unbe
lieving world. Do we ever consider
just how much it means to be a real
steward and what it means to the
church and to Christianity at lurge.
The stewardship of a man is in a
way looked upon us an ideal, and
if we do not live up to that ideal we
are falling far short of what is our
privilege to he. With the true stew
ard of God his whole life must lie in
accordance with the spirit and ideals
of Christ at all times. That means a
religeon that is as real and con
crete a something on Monday or
Saturday, or any other day in the
week as it means on Sunday.
Religion should know no day. Ev
ery day should be a day of Christian
spirit and ideals.
Let’s examine some of the means
by which the principles of steward
ship are applicable.
First, we consider personality as
one of tlte means. What is person
ality. It is the individuality that
distinguishes us from all other per
sons. We are in a way not responsi
ble for our personality but we are
responsible to God for certain in
dividualities of every person what
ever our personality may be we can
make it count ar.d should make it
count for God. Numerous are the
personalities that have come under
our observation that have been
squandered. Our personalities are
God-given attributes and we are go
ing to be held responsible to God for
the way in which our personalities
are used.
Many are the men that we have
known that were attractive, and oth
er men were drawn to them and in
fluenced by hern. They are men who
are able business men whose advice
may ’<e sougl.t and is freely given.
Now the question is what a power
these men could be if their person
alities and and individualities were
trained and working for God and His
glory and their eternal good. But
alas we have seen just such men as
these who have never accepted the
principles of Christianity and recog
nized no responsibilities nor the priv
ilege of being God’s ambassadors.
They are leaders in their respective
communities, socially, politically and
financially, but are not leaders for
God.
Talents are to be taken into con
sideration when it comes to steward
ship. Some men are one talent men,
some are two and some are five. This
is a God-given attribute to the in
dividual. All these talents are to be j
administered in the light of the prin- ;
ciple of stewardship. It is an estab-
lished fact that every man has at |
least one talent that can be used for |
the ongoing of God’s kingdom. Those |
who look upon their talents as a i
privilege find much real happiness in |
the service they can render to their
fellowman and for God’s glory. The
lack of power in many churches is
due to the undeveloped talents with
in the church. What a power the
church would be if only the principle
of stewardship be applied to our tal
ents.
Business and Social Associations
The development of influence good
or bad will always result from busi
ness and social contact with otner
people. These contacts then afford a
ripe opportunity for Christian serv
ice and stewardship. At the same
time we are going to be held re
sponsible for the results of our busi
ness and social contacts. The pro
fessional man is respected for his
ability and for his worth as a man.
In such a position he can wield an
untold influence with those with
whom his profession brings contacts.
Money Is Stewardship
It has been said and well said that
money is energy stored up. There
was never a more true saying than
this. We can take money and com
mand the service of one man or ot
thousands of men. The possession of
money can be applied to the accom
plishment of any task great or small.
The all-important fact about the
possession of money though is in the
fact that money in our possesion is
only a trust. We will be held ac
countable for the way in which it is
used. Money then is the greatest
factor in the temporal world for
shaping our destinies. It is capable of
either blessing or of damning our
souls. We either rule morey and its
influence or it rules us. And we can
not master money till we apply the
principles of Christian stewardship to
administering it. Christian steward
ship covers the whole field of man’s
accountability to God. When this
relates to property it includes the I
manner of both acquiring and ad- J
mi. is.ering it. Stewardship involves I
vastly moie than this. When we deal
with stewardship in tne greater ques
tion tlte personality of God is in
volved. Therefore we ate led to tlte
conclusion that an impersonal God
could not posses any thing and since
God is a personal God we hust think I
then of him as creator und giver ot I
every good and perfect gift. As
Christian stewards we must acknowl
edge and recognize God’s ownership
amt the fact that sofar ns we are
toncenrned we have only a trust as
God’s agent of everj thing temporal
or spiritual that may he intrusted to
us.
Deductions
M hen a man gives to a good cause
under pressure is he really in a
Christian sense givingV He is not for
the reason that all our gilts should
be of our own tree will and accord
ami not fi fluenced by outsiders. What
is .stewardship7 It, we might say, is
a trusteeship. We are placed in a po
sition to direct the use of that which
is intrusted to us in a temporal or
spiritual sense. Cun we lie trusted
with God’s work? If we cannot we
are not God’s stewards.
Should We Associate Our Religion
\\ it,n Business of Society, Etc.
Unless we are religious all the time
it will avail us nothing. Religion isn’t
a part-time business. It is something
we should exercise all the time or
else we cannot in reality enjoy it at
any time.
Stored Up Energy
\egela ion that grew eons of uges
ago lias by actions of the elements
been converted into coul, ai d tiie
world has been made immensely rich
er by its possession. Think ol what
u has meant and now means to man.
The sc ience of medicine lias been
made more effioient by the use of its
numerable products. Just, as coul is
a potent factor in cary ir.g on the
affairs of the world in that utilizing
the power of the suns rays the by
gone ages by storing up energy tobe
used as needed. Money is one of the
world’s most influential factors as it
is stored up even to the greatest de
gree. It is a power that can be our
making or our undoing. Money or
the power of money is the greatest
temporal factor in carrying on this
world. In its management and ad
ministration is where our steward
ship counts for good or for evil. Man
should in his stewardship of money
be its master and not money his
master.
in conclusion lets remember that in
our sojourn in this world we have at
our emmand all that is needed for
our salvation or for our condmnation.
