Matthew 25:14-30

His goods; his property.

A talent was a large sum of money.

Into the joy of thy lord; into his confidence and favor.

It is noticeable that our Lord makes the man who had received the one talent, the unfaithful servant, in order to show us that, though our means of usefulness may be circumscribed, we are under an obligation, none the less imperious, faithfully to improve them.
