The Parable of the Talent read in a rustic debate
A fragmentary dialogue echoes the Parable of the Talent with Jim and Benddlet debating prayer, effort, and providence. The speaker argues self-reliance, critiquing reliance on divine aid, while others defend prayer as proper. The text drifts into observational asides on cities and peoples.
