Jesus describes how a certain nobleman went into a far country leaving each of his servants with acertain amount of money, which in those days was called “talents”. The servants were to invest themoney and give the nobleman the increase upon his return. Those who did this pleased their lordand were given additional talents. The one who did nothing had his talent taken away. Theapplication to our lives is as apparent as it was to Jesus’ listeners. We all have certain gifts, talents, andabilities, and we are under obligation to develop these talents and use them to bless the lives of others.The Division of Continuing Education, of which the BYU Salt Lake Center is a part, assists people inidentifying and developing their talents—their gifts and abilities. We have been joined in this effort by agroup of generous people who have provided financial support for a financial assistance program. Theseare individuals who have developed their own skills and abilities and used them in the service of others,principally in the business and professional fields. Because of their competence and hard work, they havebeen rewarded financially and materially, and they have a desire to help others improve upon theirtalents.The financial assistance is designed for adult students enrolled in continuing education programs.
