The eeed. in the soil (vs, 2e-29), 26. .40 is the kingdom Of Gode-Maik here gives a beautiful ;sim- ile of Our ,Lord, widish ie furniehed by nu other evangeliet, lt vonipares the growth of the word, in •the heart to the growth of the seed to fall maturity and fruit.---Whedon. The kingdom is pre- sented in a twofold. sense, the work of the goepel in the world at large and in the hearte of mem A. man -The sow- er is not made prominent in this parable. Christ is primarily the sower. "Human agency in general, may he referred to." -Schaff. Seed---ln the pavable of the sower the SOn Wait made prominent, showing personal, human respousibility for the reception and the germination of the seed, while in this parable the seed is pronerient, showing the inherent principle of life and growth. The seed ie the wore of God, the truths of the gospel. This seed, is; sown hy vactioes IneanS, as by preaching, teething, per- sonal testimony, exhortation, the godly living of Cheietiems, and always with the dietinet purpoee of having it germinate and prodece harveet, ne wise farm- er sows that he may have an increase. therefore he iS careful to.procure good seed, seed that is of the nght kind and that has in it the life prinmple. The gos- pel seed is of the right kind, The in - (geese from it is righteousnese and all ite accompanying, fruits, and it has the life principle in st. Into the ground - The sower sows; where there is soil, and soil that is capable of affording the con- ditions essential to growth. The ground repreeents the human heart, The 6eed of the gospel falls' into the hearts of those who sincerely liear it. 27. Night and day ----When the seed is once entrusted to the soil, the work of sowing- is completed, and the sower may pursue his regular eouree ef life. Hie re- maining on the watch night end day would not hasten the eermination of the seed, nor would hiFs sl'neeping at night and going about his ae.customed occupa- tion by day retard it, The seed should spring and grow up -It is the property of the eeed that is to engage our etten- tion, the secret energy of its own, the principle of life end growth within it - vele whefeby it springs up ana grows. --Cam. Bib. As the Feed has the. germ. the principle of life, in it, end when placed in the, soil under proper condi- tione will germinate elevelop and yield a harvest, the truthe of the gospel have in them an energy that, when they reach the Boil of a receptive heart, will produce a fruitage of righteousness, peace and joy. He knovreth not how - He knows what nmst be done by him in order that the process may take place but the precees itself is a secret to him. The plants grow while he sleeps, but if he were awake, nature nevertheless works in secret 'before his eyes.--Whe- den. 28. The earth bringeth forth fruit of herself -The earth exercises of its own accord its function in the growth of the eceil. The farmer can not cause the seed to sprout and. grow, but he can leave it undisturbed in the soil and protected that nature can do her part, In the natural world the laws that are in operation were established. by God himeelf, and the soil, the rain and the sunshine have each a part in the pro- duction of the harvest from the seed. God also has set in operation laws in the spiritual realm, and the seed of truth placed receptive soil will bring forth fruit. The blade .... the fsull corn in the ear -There is a law of or- derly development in natural growth, so also is it in reference to spiritual growth.-Maelear. • The begdnnings of the kingdom in the soul are small, but the nature of the seed is apparent in the blade that springs front it. If this growth is not interrupted by unbent end other sine, there will result strength it/id maturity. "The faith and love of the believing gout increase abundantly. It is justified freely through the re- demption that is in Mita. It has the ear which is; shortly to be filled with orain the outlines of the whole image 0 Of God. Then appears the full corn. The soul is purified from all nuright- eousness, and having escaped the cor- ruption that is in the world, it is sea& a partaker of the divine nature, and is filled. with all the fulnees of God." - Clark e. 20. When the fruit is bronght forth, etc.. ---The farmer harveste the grain evhen it is ripe, and appropriates it to his own use. It is the harvest that he has in view when he sows the seed, and he is not slow in. eutering, upon the fruits of his labors. When the fruits of the kingdom appear in the Christian, they immediately become useful in the Muster's service. Those who are fully saved and filled. with the Spirit enter into the harvest field to gather lost soule into the kingdom. "God saves men to the uttermost, that they may here perfectly love him, and worthily magnify his name" in setting a good ex- :m.10e before their fellow men. and in seeking to save those who are in sin. in a secondary sense the Christian him - :self may he considered the ripened grain, and the harvest it his being brooght into hie eternal home. A full preparation fo the harvest is an en- epeelmble bleesing. 11. The naustaed eeee (vs. 30-32). 30. Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of Gods -Having coneldered thie eapect of the gospel epitem, as revealed to the world and ()iterating in the hearts of mem he passes to explain nnother phese of the kingdom. 31. It, is; like a grain se mustard sesed----The comparison is ameropriate hecauee the kingdom of heaven was apparently insignificant in its hegineings. As 'nen looked at Him. Jesus wee an obseere eettident of an un- important village of Galilee, who had gained a few followers from the ranks of the eMetnen people.

The strength of this plea ie shown by the word's of Rabbi Simeon: "I had a 4:talk of mustard in iny garden up whielt I elimbed one climbs; to the top of a, fig tree." The kingdom. of heaven has fillierent energ,y. It lisle never halted, never faltered from the begienting. 1 t ig destined to move for- ward until "the kineidoues of this world are become the kingeome of our Lord and of hie Christ" (Rev. 11: 15,) Leaven in. the Meal (v. 33). 33, like unto leaven -Another feature of the kingdom is presented under a most familiar figure, Leaven was an artiele found in every home and usually eon- gisted of a lump of dough kept over from a previous baking. Which a woman. . . hid in three measures of meale-The task of baking devolved upon the women of the East. Three measures of meal would be milled to emmething more than a, bushel. The leavee was pi:teed in the meal, out of sight -till the whole was leavened -A large mass of meal to be transformed by small amount of leaven, yet the parable is true to nature. This parable Bete forth the permeating, pervading, transforming power of the grace of God. The gtace of God works a change in the motives, in the desires, in the purposes, in. the af- feetions, in the pleasuree, in the etnos tions and in the ehoices. The change thus wrought has its outward manifest- ation. Questions -.Name the three parables of this lesson. What is meant by the phrase, "kingdom of heaven"? What is the main teaching in the parable of the seed. east into the ground? 'What is said about the manner of the growth of the seed? What is the harvest? What does the parable of the mustard seed teach? Give reasons why this is an apt comparison. 'What is leaven? What it& peet of the kingdom is made prominent by the parable of the leaven? PR,ACTICAL SLTR,VEY Topic. -The power and extent of the gespel. I, As it relates to individual life. le As compared with other religions. As it relates to individeal life. form and imagery this parable is ex- quisitely simple; in principle and mean- ing it is very profound. The idea L9 dis- tinet and beautiful The seed once sown grows according to its own nature. It has an inherent vitality, a power of growth which springs up "we know not how." The mysterious growth covers the interval between seed -time and har- vest. The religion of Chri-st is a power that -holds sway over intellect, heart and will. accorche with reason, conscienee and the deepest craving of the soul. It 1)gal:es men upright, loving and Christ - like. Spiritual. life is an independent, mysterious, constant and pmgressive growth, therefore the real test of life is growth, and growth is for the sake of fruit. Accordieg to this parable the Christian life is fruitful, and we may ex- pect to see fruit. As a result of the growing comes the ripening, yet the seed of divine grace requires patient waiting for its maturity. The seed con- tains in itself the germ of all the future growth. The spiritual life ie as much and as constantly under God's care as, in the natural world, is the field. of grow- ing corn. How the Spirit of God deals with the mind of man; how be creates the new heart and the right spirit; how we are begotten again unto_ a lively, hope, we can not tell. God permits man to co-operate with Him, but the great work is; his. Man's work is to make known truth and trust God to make it effective. The eye of God marks what becomes of each grain of seed, The waiting time ie the growing time. The earliest processes of germination and development are invisible and silent, All expectation must actually begin and en.d with the grain that is 80W11. God is responsible for the laws of Spiritual growth. This parable contains lessons on diligence. reverence and trust. ILAs compared. with other religions, Real life is that which has in it a prin- ciple of expansion. The. mightiest is otten the product of what is apparent- ly the feeblest. The parable of the mus- tard seed exhibite the contrast beteve,en the smallest of the gospel beginnings and the greatness of its expansion. All other systems of relioion have in them an elonent of wealtness, which must cause their failure; not so with the reli- gion of the Bible. The kingdom of Christ tatall stand together. It is the stone eat out of the mountain without hands. n'hieh became a great mountain and. filled the whole earth. Redemp- tion through Jesus is God's 'greatest plan for man. Jesus taught that the change he meant to effect in the world was not so much of the onward form, as of the spirit and character, of all things. The gospel has proved itself to be, a benign and elevating power wher- ever it has been introduced. It is the refuge and strength and the hope of the world. It contains a life-giving power. Man must have something outside of lihnself to enable him to live without sin. The grain of nutstard seed and the leaven illustrate the Antall beginnings, the silent growth end the final victory of the grace of God in the soul. itt is the nature of leaven to snake all the meal like itself. so it is in the neture of the goepel to traneform those who re- eeive it. The diffueion of the gospel throneli the life ie seeret„gradual and eomplete. It grasps all the elements and feeultiee of the soul a,nd Werke oe ell simnitaneonsly.

Chief Black, of Wilmington, Del., made a strong defence for the whipping post, He said that his city was the only place that maintained euch punishment; and that he found it was more feared by criminals than imprieonment. W. A, Pinkerton also strongly en- dorsed this idea. He said that crooks; had confessed to him that they feared the lash more than any punishment meted out by law. strongly advocated the Twhheippisnirplocesrt for wife -beaters and midnight prowl- ers, who entered citizens' homes and maltreated them, He made tlie dart- jusAticles: ling essertion that such crooks; would not hesitate to commit murder if they thought by doing so they could evade eaponlese force during the day was strongly advocated by Chief Boe- decker, of Birmingham.

The same rule ap- t,o,wbbaittoon8,sia. treffic was the sub- ject of a loegriddrese by Chief dlowlee, of New Haven, Conn., went declared that a large number of girls were' brought from Europe every year for this purpose by agents., who reaped a rich harvest.

On July 7, Saturday evening, when the town bell rang, those citizens. who bed done as requested were asked. by proclamation of the Mayor to move the docks then one hour back to standard time. This sees what Orillia ealls, revoking the daylight-saving proclamation. The story of the two weeks will not 1;e forgotten by Orillia for a long time to come, and if you want an argument just ask the first adult you meet in the town about saving daylight and. see the embers. of the recent fire glow again.

GEORGIA GRAFT Detective Burns Charges Governor With Offence. Said to be Worse Than San Francisco Case. Auguste, Ca., July 13. -Charges against Governor Cole Bleese, of South Carolina, were made to -day by SVilliara J. Burns, detective, before a special committee of South Carolina Legisla- ture, 'investigating the old state dispen- sary system. Barns asserted that mee in his employ would produce records to :show "whether or not Governor Bleese has been graftins..3. as governor and sena- tor." Evidence taken by a telephonic de- vice and personally by a detective was subraitted purporting to show that Governor Uteeee secured $2,000 for par- doning Rudolph Rabon, convicted of harboring stolen geode. Testimony from the same source Wail to the effect that Governor Bleese re- ceived $500 for blocking railroad legisla- tion, $200 for thwarting the first at- tempted dispensary investigation and that the governor received a share of "blind tiger protection money" from Charleston, S. C. Detective Burns was quoted from the witness stand as declaring that the San Francisco graft cases were infinitesimal compared with the conditions whieh have existed in South Carolina. Colonel Thomoe Pe Felder, in his tes• timony yesterday made the sensational charges of corruption in South Carolina. During, his testimony he de- nounced Governor Bleese and aceesed him of "wellowing in graft.' In conclusion Felder testified that Governor Merely and Chief Constable Stothart shared ti monthly protec- tion tax leried on "blind tigers' in Charleston.
