THE KINGDOM GROWING.
"And He said, So is the kingdom of
God." The kingdom of God is illus-
trated and explained by the follow-
ing analogy v from common life.
Vast and complicated and infinitely
momentous as it. is, the purpose and
plan of God is just like the purpose.
and plan of the farmer who sows
seed in the field. "As if e : man.
should i cast . seed upon the earth."
This brief parable, which is a com-
parison, rather than a story, is the
only parable -found in Mark alone.
It is ,a, most suggestive picture of
the Infinite Seed; Sower. It represents
God as the Creator, scattering every-
where the germs of life.
"And should sleep and rise night and
day." As is often said, no parable can
be made to move on all fours, and
this point of the parable is thrown
in for the sake of verisimilitude, and
not because we .are to think of the
and we feel sure she will endeavor Divine, Seed-Sowr as sleeping and
to make good. Her many friends rising in some heavenly .night and
join in wishing her every success. day. "And the seed should spring up
and grow, he knoweth not how." Here
again the point is not the farmer's ig-
norance of the process, for we can not
suppose that the Heavenly Seed -Sow-
er fails to understand an follow ev-

cause: but the point is growth of the
seed in hidden and mysterious ways.
, "The earth beareth fruit of her-
self." The seed has life. in itself, insp-
ired in it by the Creator.' Godhas en-
trusted to man manywonderful'
secrets, but not the secret of life.
So it is also with spiritual life,
eternal life, the life which is at the
heart of the kingdom of God. Christ
alone has life in Himself. "First the
blade then the ear, then the full
grain in the ear." The . farmer does
not expect the wheat stalk to spring
up from the ground complete in a
day, but looks first. for a ,tiny spot
of green ,then for the extension of
the stalk so gradual that he cannot
measure it 'from day to day.
"But when the fruit is ripe,
straightway He putteth forth the
sickle." Note "straightway"; the farm-
er had been very deliberate, very _pat-
ient, but when the harvest is ripe he
is all energy and activity. "Because
the harvest is come." This parable is
one that all Christian, -workers should,

not to think of it as a tree. "So that
the birds of the heaven can lodge und-
er the shadow thereof." Birds are very
fond of mustard seeds, and were often
found beneath the branches or upon
them, devouring the seed.
"And with many such parables
spake He the word tinto them." One
of these parables was that of the
leaven, recorded by Luke, and many
others, doubtless, were never set
down at all. "As they were able to
hear it." Our Lord, like a wise teach-
er, graded His instruction, adapting
it to the disciples'. progress in spirit-

A large and enthusiastic company
Was in attendance at the annual meet-
ing of Chalmers' Presbyterian Church
Whitechurch, on Monday Jan. 29th;
the lecture room being completely
'filled, The success in the reports indi-
cated a very healthy condition. Prog-
ress all along the line has been made,
each department having had a very
successful year. The Sabbath School
Guild,. Mission Band and W. M. S.
all reported a good year. The fin-
ance standing is eminently satisfact
ory. The total income was $3,623. 53.
Of this amount 5722.75 was given to
rniesions. The membership is steadily
increasing and the attendance at the
abbath services and Communion is
very large. Many improvements have
been 'made to the manse during the
year. All departments of the church
have a good balance on hand.
A marked feature of the year','s
work was the designation of Mr.
Angus McKay as a missionary of
the Presbyterian Church in Canada
and his subsequent departure for
India, where he is laboring in the
Gwalior. Mission.
