The Grewth of the Kingdonn-s-Mark
4: 20-32: MAU. 13: .33.
Commentarse----I. 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 multitudes
were not becoming hie followere, and
the pros:peels of a kingdom worthy of

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?

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

egused by the citrong campaign made by
Los Angeles and New York. That Wash-

evidenced by the fact that it was en-
dorsed by the delegates from the rival
cities. le is the eouvention's intention
to go to New York the followieg yeer
and, in 1915 meet in San Francisco.
For the first time a. Canadian has
seemed an important place on the of-
ficers' list for the aseoeiation. At the
election held in the morning Colonel

At the elections a new position was

and was the cause of considerable
discussion. In the 'opinion of maoy
the office was not required, but the

pers preeented to the convention it
was impossible to finish reading them

'of the morning's SeSfliOn. was devoted
to it. 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-

not hesitate to commit murder if they
thought by doing so they could evade

stated that he believed that in many
cases riots had been caused by in-

He said that his men only carried
