"Thai parable presents to our view, to; Re grouna. work, the nature of the gospel as a re. velatiou; the contente of the gospel as an instrument of redemption." The words of Christ were the concentration ena embodiment of bis own life, just as truly us the geed is the concentration told embodiment of the life of the plant. The goepel is a direct unveiling of truth. It is a revelation of Goa in Christ. The word of Clod is truth in its seed form. A seed le a wonderful thing,. There is life, force aria the power of propagation in it. Without the word of Ood. there can he no spiritual life, The Rowing of the seed must ever be the' first process toward a hegher state of flange. Jesus aid not require full de. veloement of Chrietiart character at once, but be did teach that if there wile to Olive any real religious life at all, it Twist carry on simultaneously two proceeeee. It must strike downward end bear fruit upward. In the first class described, we find the wayside hearers whose minds were thorough - fres for all sorts of thought. They were heedless,hearing without attend- ing to truth, despising and uudervaluing the. way of life. The. stony.ground hearers were the light minded and care- less, wittem life centreremained un- changed. and where no principle of reli- gion wee fixed in the heart These were intereeted but not converted, charmed but not phanged. The thorny -ground hearers had the mind choked with alien interests and pursuits. It will make no difference at the great harvest day, whether tbe failure of the crop be ow- ing to endue ease or excessive pleasures. Everything that binders the reception and supremacy of the truth becomes a thorn to pierce and choke. The good - soil hearers are the attentive and ee. tentive. Theirs is effectual hearing. They bear, they receive and bring forth fruit. Spiritual wealth is realized where there is a solid basis to begin upon. H. Applied to all who hear the gos- pel. It was not for one age only, but for all time that Christ spoke in para. bles. His pasables have been called, "The salt of Christianity to preserve it from corruption and extinction." Jesus chose that form of teaching which brought bis hearers lace to face with nature and human life, because in ut- ters of religion, thoee whom he had to touch had departed far from truth and were following the traditions of men. He turned their minds in the direction in which they could soonest lorreet and overcome their errors, and be prepared to receive his truth. A. parable became light or darkness to them according to their spiritual attitude. 'Inie parable of thc, sower is a solemn lesson and warning and also a, description of what is actually taking place in the world. As Jesus at the seashore surveyed the vast company before him, he uttered this parable as a prophecy of the future of his truth among men. Jesus called upon his diseiples to take heed to the truth aud to the prospect which streteh- ed out before them as his ministers, through whom he would sow the seed of the gospel among men. While they stood in the place of great privilege, they were also under great responsibil- ity. -T. IL A. vourse, and the ernagogues were orowd- ed when 110 spoke, Doit'ibtlese many had nozzle oat from idle curiosity, but a large number desired to be benefited. by Christ's preaching. Entered into a ship - The %Merman's boat into which He ell- tered 'wile pushed a, lit tin distanen from the /short, SO that He could command a full view of His hearers, Sat in the eea --Jesus sat in the boat as ite addreased the people. Sitting was the eustomary poeture of the teacher in Christ's time. On the land -The emooth beach along the Sea, of Galilee afforded a conveni- ent place of aseembly, 2, Taught .... by parables -A parable is a story or des- cription of nature or of actual oecur. rences, used to teach spiritual truth, H. The parable of the sower (ve. 3-9), 3. Hearken -Udell. Jesus at the out- set bunted the close attention of His hearers. Behold -The opening of the parable IS vivid and it is more than pro- ibable that one or more sowers were ac- tually scattering seed within sight of the hearers, for the region on either side was rich Ai adapted to agricul- ture, and it was the season for sowing, which commenced in Oetober. There went out a Rawer to SOW- He was pro- vided with seed and went forth with a definite purpose. He went where there was soil prepared to receive the sed. The soil of Paleetine wars prepared for mewing by being stirred to a depth of four inches. The people lived in villages • and literally "went forth" to their fields in the country. The sower represents the Saviour, who came to teach the the truths of the kingdom, and the apos- tles, who were taught by him, and all anent, who as public or private work- ers scatter the blessed truths of Christ's kingdom, 4. Way ide-he Palestine the pain fields are not often fenced, and there are troddenr pane extending here and there through the grain. The seed falling upon these males would be es- pecially exposed to the attacks of birds, which abound in that country. 5. Stony ground -Ground of this sort was doubt. less in plain sight of Jesus and His hearers. It was not a soil mingled with stones, but consisted. of a slight depth of soil covering an extended layer of rock. It sprang up -The thin layer of soil would be thoroughly warmed by the sure and the seed would quickly germin- ate. 7. Thorns -Thorne, briers and other prickly plants thrive in Palestine and indicate a fertile soil. There are twenty- two words in the Hebrew. Bible that de- note thorny or prickly plants. The far- mer is accustomed. to go through his wheat fields before these noxious plants ripen to cut them out. If this is not done the land becomes overrun with these peels. Choked it -The thorns were o thrifty that they grew more rapidly than the grain, robbing the latter of he moisture and subetance of the soil. The soil was good and favorable to an abundant harvest of grain, but for the fact that it was preoccupied by seeds of thorns.$. Good ground -The soil was deep, free from weeds and had. been pro- perly prepared. Hi. The explanation (vs. 10-20). 10. They., .asked of him the parable -The inquirers were not alley the 'twelve dis- ciples, but those who were deeply im- pressed with the words of Jesus and de- sired to know the truth more fully. "Parables," -R, V. The series of par- ables here given sets forth different truths of the kingdom. 11. Unto you it, is given to know -Those who were asking for further knowledge were pre- pared to receive a revelation of the spir- itual nature of Christ's kingdom. That are without -Those who had but a. pass- ing interest or no interest at all in Christ's teachings. Are done in par- ables -A Taxable will make truth clear- er to one who desires the truth, but to one -who is not interested in spiritual mattere the parable sten& as a veil to cover the truth the 'Arable is designed to teach. 12. Seeing...not perceive - See Isa. 6:9. 10. Christ desired that all who heard his preaching should receive the truth, but the parable was a test of their sincerity and earnestness. Those who refused to see would remain in epir- itual darkness, Lest. -they should be eonverted-They refuse to see and hear lest they should be converted. 13. How then will ye know all parable -The par- able of the tower stands at the head of the series, and is in a sellSe the foun- dation of the truths presented in the diecouree. 14. The sower -This is applicable to Christ and to all his followers who teach the truths of the gospel in sin- cerity, 15. Satan-taketh away -The heart of the wayside hearer is hard and not readily suseptible to the truth, and. Satan through his numberless egen- dies snatches away the good seed before it settles into the soil of the heart, 10. Receive it with gladness. -The stony - ground hearers go farther than the first elves; they not only hear, but believe, and receive the truth, end the seed springs up. They take upon themselves a profeseion of religion. The truths of the gospel are attraetive. They appeal etrongly to the heartof all Who give earnest attention to them. 17.

It is found that there is no authority to make a Clover - nor -General's warrant to cover such an expenditure. Therefore, there can be no distribution until Parliament meets and votes the money.

Ottawa, July 8. -The reeent cut in the cement duty bas apparently not had, the expected effect either in inereasing the importations of cement from the Felted States or in deereasing the eost to consnmers. The customs department reports that so far there hive been in Bildern Canada at any rate very little increase in imports of cement. There has beeu a. slight increase reported from Toronto, but as far as the department report goee any increase, is due rather to the normal inerease in demand ra-, ther than to any cheapening of price through the cut in duty.. Reports from the \met have not yet been. received ie any detail. but the 8111110 conditions rim pear to exist.

Going back to first prinelpleathe latest food fad is uncooked or sun cooked food. The advocates of this idea say that "be- fore the use offire primitive man took his sestenance as birds and wild animals still do, and there is evidence that he bad better teeth, a, hardier body and was exempt from many of the ailments from which people suffer to -day." Therefore they urge that nature should be allowed to do whatever cooking is necessary, "In all nature," nay these people, "ev- ery animal but man finds food ready prepared. Then why should human be- ings boil and roast and fry and in the '11 end be worse off than those that eat raw food? In fact, we have eaten some kinds of uncooked food for years, and so the step to a complete diet Le not great. "Lettuce, tomatoes, celery and fresh fruits are all uncooked. They are not predigested so that the stomach is not deprived of its rightful tasks. The re al fact is that uncooked food calls for strong digestive organs, and while it calls for strong organs it produces them. No lion or tiger or cow has cooked food; no fish reeuires it; no hira or flower gets a. boiled dinuer. Why should we? These uncooked food advocates are running; a close race with the frugivors, who eat only nuts and fruit. Those who adopt this method of eating do not touch grains or vegetables of any kind. Some persons who travel have became enthus- iastic frag4vore, and congratulate them- selves that they neVeV have to fret over buffet cars or hotel menus. Their meals are alwayS ready and their food contains no starch to clog the stomach and intes- tines. Pecans, pigaalias, peanuts, chest- nuts and other nuts are on their menu In capital lettere. in eating three meals a clay the fru:giver eats mite, first, then sweet fruits and laetly several kinds of juicy fruit, Raisins, figs, prunes and dates are soaked before eating and tome- toee are classee among fruits. The expense of either the uncooked food or frugivor diet is .about the same as ordinary food, and none but the best fruits, nuts and vegetables are used. "I am convinced," said a WOMari, who lived on nuts and fruits and nothing 0.1S8 for a year, "that the frugivor's diet is the best one. I eat nuts at the begin- ning of the meal always. This gives them time and a chance to assimilate with the fruits that come later, and I al- ways ehew them to a cream. I did this long before I heard of the Pletcher meth- od.

Her three daughters are married, while her son is Lord Pembeeke, Who has oecupied many distieguished positions, aolitically and at Court: and her daughter, Lady afttey, came the wife of Baron Von, Hugel.
