Parables were often used by our Lord, particularly when He had truth to reveal which was not for unbelieving hearts that had hard ened themselves against it (see Matt. 13:10-18). , The method is that of telling an earthly story, true to life (hence, not a fable), which is placed alongside of the spiritual truth it is designed to teadi. It thus differs from an allegory, which gives the meaning with the story (see John 13:1-6). Jesus used parables in our lesson to teach tiie truth that the good seed of the Word of God will be received in various ways and will bring forth widely differing results. He—the Lord—was the Sower, and the field was the world (Matt. 13:37, 38). We note first tha\ in that field there, were and are— I. Four Kinds of Soil (Mark 4:1-9). The reception of the seed is de termined by the condition of the soil. The great field was essentially of one kind of soil, but H had become wide ly different in Hs ability to take in the seed and bear fruit. The interpretation of this parable is given by our Lord in the verses immediately following (w. 3-20). It has striking application to our day. A road, or beaten pathway, was a comnion thing in the fields of Pales tine. On such hard soil a seed found no place to grow, and the birds car ried it away. Such is the conditiem of a man permit thb'Heavy and sinful traffic of this world to harden his heart against spiritual truth. If our heart has reached that stage we should ask God to break it up. The birds (always a symbol of evil in the Bible) are Satan and his emissaries. They are always busy about carrying away the Word of God when it is truly prej^hed. The rocky soil was a thin layer of good soil on a rocky ledge. At first this caused rapid, growth, but with out deep roots it could not siu^ive the heat of summer. This is the one who enthusiastically responds to the gospel appeal, but being without real conviction and repentance, he has no stability when persecution comes. The,, thorny ground—where the growing grain was choked by weeds —typifies the professed believer who lives in worldliness. The friend of the world is God's enemy (James 4:4). Note the things which destroy spiritual life <v. 19), and shun them. In the good ground—open to receive and ready to yield itself -for^-the- growth of the seed—there is abun dant harvest. Even here there is a difference in the amount of fruit. Why not be a "hundredfold” be-, liever? Changing the picture a little our Lord now speaks of*— II. Normal Growth and a Ckiod Harvest (4:26-29).

The Woman’s Christian Temper^ WILLIAM A. BOYKIN, SPORTSMAN- CITIZEN, IS CALLED BY DEATH (Continued from first page) not to exileci Uie nuivest uiuntrdi- ately after the time of sowing. There is a period of patient waiting while God is producing the growth (and only He can do itl)—then the joy of harvest. There are many lessons to learn here.' We who serve the Lord in teaching or preaching the Word are too impatient, too eager to be able to announce results, (kid is always willing that things should mature naturally and in due season. Let us wait for Him and be at rest in our spirits (v. 27). Then let us be glad as the seed begins to show signs of maturing, but let us not be slow to gather the harvest when it is ready.

We should also be encouraged by Sunday school at 11 o'clock every ' Sunday. this parable to continue sowing the seed, knowing that it will find place in the hearts of some and bring forth fruit unto eternal life. Next we are warned to be on our guard against accepting or approv ing— m. Abnormal Growth and an Evil Harvest (4:30-32). The mustard is an herb, not a tree; hence this parable gave warn ing that there would be an over grown religious system calling itself Christian. The birds are (as in the parable of the kinds of soil) evil men, or "isms','* or organizations eager to take shelter in a religious system without spiritual power. The church had such an abnormal growth when Constantine espoused Christianity as a political move, mixed it with paganism, and ele vated it to a position of worldly — All this was and stiff is contrary to God’s plan for the church. He wanted a spiritual body distinguished by lowliness, meekness and service Tbese are the things that mark the t'lrue Christian spirit.. The marks of true Christianity are always those of likeness to Him who said; ‘T am meek and lowly in heart,” who came "not to be ministered unto but to minister.” Boy War Bomb aad Stan^M happy personality was In evidence at all equestrian events of the Camden winter season.
