Taught hy parables -"A par- able is an allegorical relation or reme- ventation of ere:tenant; real in lifeeor nature, from whieh a moral is drawn tor inetruetion." Christ's parables are a comparisson of spiritual things with natural in order that the spiritual thing; way be better understood. In hie doe - trine -That is, bis teaching. 3. Behold a, sower -The animated introduc- tion gives plausibility to the view that our Lord pointed to sonte distant :Sower in tight eeattering his seed.-Whe,ton. 4. The way side -There are fonr kinds of ground mentioned. The first is the wienside where no plough has broken it up. "The ordinery roads or parts ie the east lead often along the edge of the fields, which are unenelosed,"-Ilack- att. 3. Stony ground -Luke says, "upon a rock." `The rocks of Palestine and Sy- ria are mostly limestones, with many flat stretchea, covered with an inch or so of soil." -Hall. This is the seemed kind of ground. Sprang up -"A thin surfaco of eoil above a shelf of rock is like a hot- bed; the stone keeps the heat and stim- ulates the growth." During the rainy set - son in Palestine the growth would be rapid. O. Withered away -Luke says "it lacked moisture." The hot sun dried up the moisture and scorched the grain. 7. Among thorns -The third kini of soil was goodand there was hope of a bar - rt, but the ground was filled with per- nicious seeds. Thorny shrubs and pleats, abound in Palestine. 8. Good ground - The fourth kind of soil was rich and welt prepared. Some an hundred -This repre- sents the highest degree of fruitfulness. Other seeds only bore sixty or thirtyfold. "The return of a. hundred for one is I tit unheard of in the east, though always mentioned as something extraordinary." H. Why Christ taught in parables tvs. 9-12). IL Hath eare, etc. -This %sunny fol- lows an important stratement, imbru- ing that he who has the discernment to understand will find the deeper meaning. -Seaff. 10. When..alonge-Either this explanation to the disciples was made later, or he withdrew a short distanee from the multitude *o as to be alone. Christ evidently spoke further to the people on this same day. With the twelve -There were other disciples with Him besides the twelve apostles. Asked of Hira-The question asked in Matthew "Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" and in Luke "What might this parable bet' Christ had introduced a new lona of teaching which the dis- ciples did not understand. Ile first pro- ceeds to give them a reason for thus teaching, and then explains this particle, la r parable. 11.Unto you -To you, disciples, wit° inquire, and seek to know the truth; to you who are "within" in contrast to those who are "without." To know the mystery -The true disciple has a know- ledge of the "mestere- of godliness" - the mystery of the atonement and the gre.at plan of salvation, includiug re - pentence, faith, conversion, etc., whieh was revealed by Christ (Rom. xvi. 25: Col. I. 26, 27). Kingdom of God -The spiritual kingdom Christ came to estab- lish That are without -Those outside of the kingdom, who are not disciples. in parables -Truths delivered in parables were covered by a. thin veil and were not immediately apprehended; thus, white instant rejection might be the re- sult of presentirg the naked truth, et- tention to the truth was secured by the intereeting tovering under which it o presented. -Ripley. 12. That seeing, etc. -See Isa. ri. 9. He did not speak in parables because he did not wish them to know the truth anti see Me light, but because they were in darkness and doge(' their eyes to the light. Not perceive, etc. -These nega- tive verbs "notpereeive" and "not under- stand"express intentional unintetegence, These men do not fell into passive ignor- ance, but they actively ignore. -Wo, Lest -This 'let" depends upon this ig- noring. They ignore "it" they should be converted. Ir. The parable of the sower explained (vs. 13-20.) 13. knew ye not, etc. - Jesus now proceerls to menver the see:me question (see note on v. 1(.)

It is incidentally though unavowedly a strong vindication of Lord Curzon's attitude in his controversy with the late Government. The correspondent, although writing ananymously, is known as an able publicist, who is intimately acquaint. (el with the politics of the Empire. The gist of his accusations is that Lord Kitchener, by his contemptuous treatment of the native army, is creat- ing in that body the same spirit of soreness and discontent, which was one rf the main causes of the Mutiny of 1857. After dwelling at length on the administrative steps and other measures which have led to this state of affairs, he continues: "Lord Kitchener's naasterfulness grows with increasing power, and orders he so often hastily issues be as hast- ily withdraws. He no longer shows de same industry or application to de- hillor the same devotion to economy which clutracterized his work in Egypt. He has no personal knowledge of the Indian character and his constitu- tional intolerance of all opposition un- fits bim to learn front those who have had the experiece be lacks." In conclusion, the writer touches on a matter tbat has been notorious in inner circles, but has hitherto not been commented upon in the press, namely, that the reconquest of the Soudan was nearly wrecked in a disaster due to the same disregard for the idiosyn- creeies of the native troops which re- sulted in an incipient mutiny. Lord Kitchener had then already started for South .Africa, but the conditions were aseribed as clue directly to his policy. It is pointed out that any trouble re- sulting in India may in the mane way he deferred until Lord Kitchener's term of office expires eighteen months herre. Naturally tbis letter has produced a defence from the Cemmander-in-Chief's apologists, but those which have hitherto appeared have been too per - meal in tone to earre- conviction. When Parliament reassembles after the Easter vacatien the matter will be merle subject cf questinns to the Govern- ment. rows CRY OF FIRE• CAUSED PANIC AT A CHICAGO EASTER SERVICE.
