The Rider and the Footman

‘’^We expect he should come sooner that rideth on horseback than he that travelleth on foot.” Privileges have their responsibilities. To whom much is given, of him much shall be required. Five talents must bring in more interest than one, or their possessor will prove to be a slothful servant.

How is it with us? Have we more talents than others 1 Then our Master asks, “What do ye more than others .?”
