THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
LESSON ,IX -.MARCH 3
The Christiana Church:—Mark 4::26-32,
Eph. 1:22, ,23; 4:4-6, 11-16.
Golden Text—So we, who are many
are one body in Christ. —Rom. 12;5.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time :.and ]?lace—Christ spoke the
parables of the seed .growing secretly
and' the .mustard seed by the Sea of
Galilee in the autumn •of A.D. 28, the
'second :year of His . ministry. The
parable of the seed'growing secretly
appears only in Mark.
THE .CHURCH'S FOUNDATION'
AND GROWTH
herbs, and.putteth Drat green branches
so thatthe birds •of the heaven can
lodge under the shadow thereof.
".Iyespise not small beginnings, the
mustard seeds. Our Christian work,
our philanthropic efforts, may be
small, insignificant; let tis not be 'dis-
couraged, they.. are mustard seeds.
And, especially, despise not the small
beginnings of the religious life in your
soul.
THE CHURCH'S HEAD AND
UNITY"
And He (God) put all things in sub-
jection under His (Christ's) feet,, —
"We have the Christ exalted to uni-
versal authority. God. made Hitn.
Head over all things, As He is of the
church." And gave Hit. to be head
over all things to the church.—The
Head over all things, the Lord of,the
created universe, He, and none less or
lower, is the Head of redeemed hu-
manity. No Matter where Christ is,
however high in heaven, He belongs
to us,,,
Which is his body:—"His body, in
which, all the wealth and' energy of
his life are revealed, the perfect organ.
of his will, the very' ]bine of His
glory, That is the ideal, but how far
below it do most churches fall! The.
fullness of Him that filleth all in all.
—"'The church is the fulness, the ful-
filment, the realization of the grace;
power, and glory of Him, this blessed
Christ, who is richly fillingall things
in all, the Replenisher of all the .ca-
pacities for blessing of all His mem
bets." •
There is one body, and one Spirit.
•—As the members of a church and the
churches of a denomination and the
various denominations of Christen-
dom .possess the Holy Spirit, they
will be, a vital unity. Even as also
ye fiver€ called in one hope of your
calling,—Thecalling is the summons
to join forces with the Holy Trinity
in the great purpose of salvation, the
hope is the prospect of eternal bles-
sedness and joyful service in heaven.
It is one and the sone hope for ' all
God's children, and so serves a5 an-
other bond of union,
One Lord, one faith, one baptism. --
The one Lord is Jesus Christ; the
one faith is :trust in Him as our one
Saviour :the one baptism, is the pro-
fession

-Who is over all, and through all,.
and in all: "'Over all' obviously de-

b<tbly denotes a sustaining and work-
ing•presence': while 'in all' obviously
refet's to the indwelling of the Divine
Spirit."
THE CHURCH'S GOAL AND
And He said, So is. the ,kingdom
of God.—This "kingd`oin" is the or
ganized work .of .Christ in the world,
the visible nhanifestatior of the Holy
Spirit, the Church 'universal. As if
a matt should' cast seed upon the
earth. — Commentators differ here,
sone:understanding.the sower to be
Christ and sonic believing that:
Christ's disciples are meant, preach-
er, ,teachers, evangelists, parents, all
-who SOW the,seed of the word in hu-
man hearts. '
And should sleep and rise day ;and
night, -The sower, having committed
. the seed to the soil, goes trustingly
about his other work without con-
cern :for the seed, knowing that it has
in itself power to grow, And the seed
. should spring up and grow, he know-
eth not how. --Considering His discip-
les- to be the sowers, "they are in-
structed to rest satisfied that the seed
should grow acid spring Up without
their knowing exactly;.the way of it.
