what he has will be taken away."
This was not said to sanctify the inequalities of the world. but rather to draw attention to a law that :,...(.rn5 progress. What we have already attained is a starting point for advancement-
Once in college we attended a class on church music. The one who gained most from those stud- l('S iias the leader of our praise; he had already a wealth of thought and experience in that field. and so was prepared to take ndvanta ievery new idea presented by he lecturer and every new exercise in which he led us.
rill: WELL-PREPARED
So in our studies of mathematics and the classics-the student who came in well-prepared found rich- es where others found perplexity.
The same laws holds in other uaiks nf life The man who has ranllal has opportunities of increas- ing his wealth denied to one who is struggling to gain a footing. The man who is already widely known has a chance for political recog- iiilion denied to the obscure. In all such fields of human interest and endeavor the law seems to rule that the one who has. gets more; and the one who has not, is in danger of losing the little with which he started.
People who feel that Jesus bles- ses the unfairness found in these worldly inequalities forget to read the verse that precedes his saying -"Take heed what you hear" (or
"how you hear"): "the measure you get. and still more will be given you."
Here Jesus transfers the emph- asis from the mind to the will, and from what we possess to what we intend to achieve. He has been

bearer and tthe assets with which he approaches the teacher.
Here the "man who has" is the one with the will to practise the truth he learns; the one "who has not" is the one who listens only to question and deny and denounce.
The men who knew most about the Kingdom of God as the prop- hets of the past described it were those scribes who listened to Jesus only with a view to entrap and condemn Him; they lacked the will to believe and were only confirm- ed in their errors: the simple-mind ed Galileans who had none of that knowledge and who were ready to let Jesus lead them into the truth that none but He could reveal were the men who had the capital that enabled them to gain more.
WILL T0 SUCCEED
Once we listened to an address given to a group of city students who had every advantage that wealth and social privilege could give them and the speaker told them that. unless they threw them- selves into their studies. they would be surpassed by many a raw youth from the baCkW00d5Awh0 had noth- ing but the will to succeed.
in unnumbered cases the pre- diction was fulfilled. But it is in the service of Christ that it finds its complete realization.
It is the will that counts. Even in the search for truth, it is the readiness to hear and heed that brings illumination. For -
"He who comes an inch to God tmld doubtings dim,
ln blazing light God will advance a mile to him ”
The spiritual insight that so dis- cerns the meaning of Gods word that it becomes the support of life comes in response to our self-com- mitment to Christ.
The same thing is true of the gift of the Holy Spirit's power for service. Once a critic said of Dr. F- B. Meyer, "He talks more non- sense and does more good than any other man in the land."
Here was a critic who could not agree with Dr. Meyer's views but also could not question his power and purpose. Now that spiritual power with which Dr. Meyer moved so many thousands to higher levels of living came to him in answer to an unreserved surrender to the will of God.
