Surely this parable should mean that since the Lord has given us mind and memory, which are the ware- houses of conversation, He expects us to employ them to their full capacity. True, in his unfathomable wisdom, He has ordained that some have few talents, many average, and only a few superior ones. This means that not all people, no matter how nobly they try, can become especially brilliant conversationalists, any more than they can become great poets or grand architects. But within their talent range, they must do the best they can — and that is enough to get them to heaven — and to be charming and agreeable among men. |
