Swiss flowers are said to be in dan

craze of tourists for collecting them.
Women tourists especially are always

HANDLING THE TOMATO CROP
Most Important Part of the Work l?
DlcUnn Rnr+lnfl and Pack
Ing?Some Good Hints.
(By W. H. UNDERWOOD.)
The most Important part of thk
handling of a tomato crop Is the pick*
ing, sorting and packing. If wisely
and carefully done the results will be
very satisfactory.
In handling my tomato crop I first
go through the field searching closely
for all smooth, sound tomatoes just in
the turning stage?that la, with a
Blight shade of redness In color, yet
green and firm.
I never pick any cracked or disfig
ured tomatoes to ship to market
I place only smooth, uniform specl
mpns In the crate baskets on their
sides, with the blossom ends up, so as
to show to the best advantage.
I do not crate anything but No. li
in a No. 1 package and No. 2 quality
in a No. 2 package. Anything inferior
to No. 2 will not pay to crate. By ob
serving this rule I am saved the cost
of many crates, also the transportation
charges on them, as well as the labor
of putting them up and obtaining bet
ter prices for what I ship.
When picking for the market I aim
to pick only No. 1 fruit, then when
packing there is not much No. 2 fruit
to pack.
By not picking the cracked or disflg
urea iruu green, uui ieiuug u remaiii
on the vines to ripen to the right
stage for the canning factory, more
money can usually be realized from It
than if packed to ship.

insects in the field and garden than
they do harm in the orchard, except

SUNWSOKE
Lesson
(Qy E. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve
ning Department, The Moody Bible
Institute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR AUGUST 4.
THE WORTH OF THE KINGDOM. .
LESSON TEXT-Matthew 13, 44-53.
GOLDEN TEXT?"Seek ye first his
kingdom, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33.
We have studied some of the prin
ciples that are to obtain in the es
tablishing and the working out of this
new kingdom Jesus came to found,
and the question naturally arises, "Is
it of sufficient value for mt> to con
aider or seek to ent9r it, or to possess
it?" In our lesson today there is set
before us four parables (Jesus' favorite
way of teaching) which he gave priv
ately to his disciples and not to the
multitude, that ought to answer any
such questioning in our hearts.
The first two have to do with the
great value of the kingdom, the sec
ond its mixed character and final sepa
ration, and the last, the great respon
sibility of those who possess its
truths. In this entire group of par
ables found In the thirteenth chapter
of Matthew are four that are for men
who are careful to observe the out
ward development, and four others
that are for those men of faith who
see beneath the surface the hidden
things of the kingdom. Those men
who view the kingdom in each par
ticular age as God sees rather than
as man observes.
Today's lesson sets fortfi the pur
chase of things of great value, the ac
quisition and disposition of thingb of
a mixed value, and lastly, the use ci j
tbeso values after coming into tbe pos
session of them.
I. The hidden treasure, v. 44. Per
haps more properly this should he
termed the parable of the bought field.
We need* to remember that In all of
these parables the Master himself Is
the important peisonage. He Is the
one who sows the seed, etc. Hence
we understand that he Is the one
who discovers this great treasure hid
den In the field. He has already told
us that "the field 1b the world" (Matt
13:38).
Symbolism of Pearls.
II. The pearl of great price, vs. 45,
4fl This rmrahlfl is verv much the
same as the foregoing, yet it adds great
strength and force to this study in
values. We ought to be very clear in
our study and application. The pearl
of great price may perhaps be taken
as a symbol of our salvation, but if
so for us to interpret the merchant
man as the commonality of man would
be for the sinner to purchase his own
salvation, a thing as far as possible
for the New Testament teaching.
Why does Jesus speak of pearls to
tne Hebrews who did not esteem them
at all? What is the symbolism of a
pearl? The pearl is the one precious
stone that 'is the result of a living
organism; it is the result of an injury
done to the life of the oyster. It has
always stood for purity and for in
Tinronrfi Ts it then illoeical for US to
assume that Christ is the merchant
man who gave all to redeem (e. g.,
buy back) the lost souls of mankind?
Let us turn to Paul's words, remem
bering the washing process, the pain
ful process of developing pearls and
the ultimate beauty and value of this
the pearl of great price. "Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself
for It; that he might sanctify It, hav
ing cleansed It by the washing of
water with the Word, that he might
present the church to himself a -glo
rious church. Not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing: but that
it should be holy and without blem
ish." (Eph. 5:25-27.)
III. The drag net, vs. 47-50. This
parable Is another that deals with the
mixed character of the kingdom here
upon the earth and of the final separa
tion incident thereto. It is noticeable
that this is collective, not individual,
fishing. There will be many move
ments that will ostensibly be for the
gathering of men Into this kingdom,
nriiiMnln lnld rlown is
UUl kUO J? _ -
that one considered In the lesson of
the wheat and the tares, viz., that ul
timately there shall be cast out all
things that do offend. In the finality
of all things the kingdom shall be
without spot or blemish. Hence we
do not read into this parable empha
sis upon any phase of evangelism.
Search the Scriptures.
IV. The householder, vs. 51-53. In
the first of these parables we had the
Word as the seed of this new kingdom,
in this the eighth of the kingdom par
ables we revert as it were to the mat
ter of the Word. Jesus asks his
disciples if they understand the Word
he has spoken to them. Their re
sponse is, "Yes, we do." Then Jesus
shows them what a burden of respon
sibility due to possession rests upon
them. Jesus refers to the Scribes
whose work under the Jewish econ
omy was to transcribe and to interpret
and tells the disciples that they in a
like manner are to interpret the king
dom to all men. They are to "bring
forth" hidden treasures. We must re
* xU-i. +o 11 rrVi + f r> r\n T*Q
memuer uai, jcouo iau6i.?? .
that "hearing they might not hear,"
etc.,' hence we are to search the
Scriptures and bring forth these hid
den treasures of truth as we go about
doing our part in the ushering of the
kingdom.
There are two ways of our entering
this kingdom, a right one and a wrong
one. We may think we have entered
by doing something, e. g., by our
works, only to find that when the con
tents of the drag net are examined we i
shall be cast forth. Or we may gain j
the pearl of great price, even Christ
himself by faith, and find in him all
that fulness for which men are starv
ing. Find in him the sum of all val
ues. When we enter this kingdom
through him who is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, we will discover
it was a profitable bargain to part
with all, for what will a man give in
exchange for his soul?
