In these the all -embracing eharacter of the kiegdom, which (Jesus eame to set up among men, Was exhibited in a variety of lights, thue impressing the truths he wanted to express. These parables or pictures of the kingdom embody the his- tory of the church in all ages, from the first preaching of the gospel to the last general judgmett, tracing the different steps of its advaneement, both external- ly and. internally, from its commence- ment to its eonsummation. Lesson two presente the sower and. the variety of soil, illustrating the preaching of the goepel by the apostles, preparing for a continuous sowing of the good, seed. Les- son three contains three parables. The first, the growth between the seed time aud the harveet, is beautifully illuetra- tive of the certain development of Chrie- tian life when once trely begotten in the soul. The eare end development which God reserves until himself ie every child of grace goes beyond the work of the minietry of men end' cannot be explained. away or credited to heman power, From this indwelling power of growth the fruit of godlinese burst forth into ripe Christian experienee.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW. Montreal -Generally speaking business is increasing in activity. Most fall orders to wholesale houses have been in for some time, and sorting trade is occupying their attention. A. strong feeling has de- veloped In the stock market. Provisions are higher, and the live stock market is fairly active for home needs. Wheat has been slowly declining to new crop -basis. The realty market ahs been active, some large sales having been made. Toronto business situation continues sat- isfactory. Wholesale houses are doing an active sorting trade. They are turn- ing their attention to the spring trade al- ready, Shoe manufacturers and the re- tail shops are drawing heavily on whole- sale houses. Demand on the hide mar- ket far outreaches home supplies. There is plenty of money and. collections are good. Tightness in money mancet is somewhat curtailing speculation in real estate. Winnipeg -A successful harvest -is draw- ing to a. close in the far west, An abund- ant crop of high grade wheat is assured. Vancouver --Recent briskness in busienss is well maintained. While supplies of produce were fairly large, keen demand existed for most classes. Hamilton -The business situation here wears a nencouraging aspect. Industrial concerns show a good year.
