Printed Text, Matt. 13: 3-8, 31-33, 44-46 GOLDEN TEXT—Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live. Isa. 53: 3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME—Autumn, A.D. 28. PLACE—At the Sea of Galilee. 8. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying. Invar- iably in the teaching of Jesus a parable ewas.-a picture of things seen, intended to reveal and ex- plain things unseen. Teaching by parables aroused attention; caus- ed lessons to remain longer in the memory. 3b. Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 4. and as he sow- ed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and de- voured them: 5. and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straight- ' way they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: G. and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, thety wlithered away. 7. And others fell upon the thorns: and the thorns grew up and chok- ed them: 8. and others fell upon the ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. There are three fore. es at work in this parable: the soil, which is of four different kinds; the seed, and the same kind of seed is used in each of the four soils; and the sower. Here in these few clauses is enough truth to occupy us for hours and hours, so rich are the words of our Lord. The seed is the word of God, and the different soils are the various types of people it is sown to. The Kingdom of Heaven 31. Another parable set he be- fore thein, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field: 32. which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof, 33. Another parable spake he un- to them; The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a' wo- man took, and hid in three meas- ures of meal, till it was all leav- ened. Generally this parable is said to teach that "the kingdom spreads from soul to soul until all are brought under the sovereign - A N D By MADGE ARCHER KING SPEAKS CHRISTMAS DAY Most impor.art ra•3i . news to date is that His nlajes_y the King is expected to deliver his nnr:ua: message to the Empiee at 10 a.in.

It spread% from Obrlst' to the Twelve, and from the. Twelve to the infant church, and so on until the whole mass ie reached and transformed," "Leav- en" here may imply an evil influ- ence -- worldliness, hypocrisy— which is weakening the church in the world today. In that case, the. meaning of the parable is entire, ly the opposite of the usual inter. pretation. Hidden Treasure, 44. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buy- eth that field. 45. Again,'' the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: 46. and having found one pearl of great price, he went out and sold all that he had,. and bought it. The man of these two parables may be the same person as the man of the preced,. ing parables, namely the Lord Jesus Christ; and we believe that the treasure hid in a field, which we take to be the world, as in previous parables of this chapter,. is Israel, his treasure . (Edox. 19: 5) . Let us think of the church. as the pearl precious to the Lord, which has grown as a small grain of sand has, in the side of an oys., ter. This pearl is. still forming' in the world today. If we direct our attention to the beauty of our Lord's parables, we shall find them the most tom- plete and finished models, "apples of gold in pictures of silver." If this lesson is properly under- stood, we find in it a most solemn presentation of the wide and. deep prevalence of evil through- out the Kingdom during this age, of tate need of constant watchful. ness that the word of God should not become unfruitful in our i11 "'i-1 Ylhl° "lo WRI'M ALt 1' 14M1S r HOUR, CASTA1,I7 T IVND 66 aurre A TAS1ir \\ICY NOT SCR tgE -C° `(1-81; "1,VC`1'I C7vR,OM WOME" "POR, NSR, 4 \ I`, lives, and of the tragic, Inescap- able destiny awaiting all those at the end of this age who° are not truly the children of God. The More we study this Gospel of Mat- thew, the more we realize how tremendously serious this natter is, of our relationship' to Jesus Christ, and our eternal destinies.

The hen run is opposite the church, and a naturalist's theory is that the church clock may have had some influence on the phenomenon. Mr;re Than. Twenty Operatic S Every Day Keep Hospital Surgeons Busy! One of America's Great Hospitals Treats Children Only 1.; that a complete cure would take many months. "Upon hearing that bad news, the father and mother were all for bundling the little chap up and leaving for home. They could never begin to pay for that much treat- ment, these said, 'We had hoped it might be just a week or so.' "It took: quite a whil41, -con- tinued the Superintendent: "But We finally convinced the parents that lust because they couldn't afford to pay for the boy's care was no rea- son to deprive him of the only chance he had to get well. We ask- ed them to leave their son with us and let us worry about the cost of the treatment. "The boy is going home next week after almost two years of con- tinuous hospital care, many opera- tions, several X -Rays, special diets, orthopaedic equipment, etc. lie's feeling pretty fit now and his par- ents have been able to pay but a little toward this wonderful treat- ment. When a sick child needs hos- pital care, he gets it regardless of race, creed or financial eircum. stance." This led to a discussion on the operating costs of the hospital, I was given information which is in- teresting and well worth passing on. In round figures, the operating expenses of the Hospital for the past year amounted to more than $543,000. The operating revenue—from Pi i. nate, Semi -private patients and the comparatively few Public Ward patients who are able to pay, grants from Toronto, other Municipalities and the Provincial Government— amounted to just a little more than $394,000. This means that the Hos- pital, although run on the most ef- ficient and economical basis, suffer- ed an operating loss of over $1.49,000, Part of this deficit is met by the in- come from investments made with moneys bequeathed or endowed over a sixty -year period. There is still a deficit of $90,000. And that is why this Hospital con- ducts an annual appeal at this time to secure enough funds to offset this operating loss.

During a visit to Toronto recently, your reporter called at the Hospital for Sick Children on.College Street - I had seen this Hospital' mentioned" in news reports many, many times. particularly during the great Polio epidemic of 1937. It was high time, I thought, to do a little private in- vestigation and find out why this Hospital. should be so much in the news. WHAT HAPPENS EVERY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS I interviewed Mr. Joseph Bower, the Superintendent of this busy In- stitution. He told me that during the twenty-four hour period pre- ceding my visit, nineteen operations had been performed . fifty-two X-ray photographs taken . , two hundred and eighty indivilual pre- scriptions filled in a completely - equipped dispensary . twenty- eight bed patients were admitted • thirty-three children discharged as cured . more than fourteen hundred meals served ... ten chil- dren had extensive dental work done ... 95% of the beds were oc. eupied,leaving only 19 beds free for er•Iergency cases, And, according to the Superinten- dent, the twenty-four hour period was an average one, insofar as typi- cal hospital activity was concerned.
