There might have been some excuse for the siek man who owned this | neglected vineyard of which I have spoken to have neglected his vine yard, but there is no excuse for us ’ to neglect our spiritual vineyards, as tlie author of Canticles declares the church of God has been doing. Now, ; as we all, each fall, delight to eat the rich, luscious grapes which are placed upon our dining room tables I thought this morning I would draw my ser- monic illustrations from the vineyard Industries of the world. My compari son will not be found In the grape- vines which some of us raise in our country homes, where we build a little arbor in our back yards aud there allow a few vines to grow over It, under which we flee to escape the in- i tense heat of the midnoou sun. But I will draw my illustrations from the ' grape industries of southern Califor nia aud the Holy Land, where grape ! growing is a business upon an en larged scale, and where the vines, laid out in long rows 8 by 8 or 8 by 10, stretch themselves over hundreds and 1 sometimes thousands upon thousands j of acres, as the cornfields spread them selves over the prairies of Kansas or the wheatflelds grow in the Dakotas. Many of the oriental cities like Sa maria were nothing more or less than great centers for this graiie industry. kls family aboul him a:.d said, "t'ou.e, children, let us ask Cod to help is p;-'.:':-.* our vineyards of all sellishm ss el sin." Then, that good man was not satisfied with simply walking through his vineyard and sticking out au arm here and a hand there, a:.d with the pruning sin*, rs cutting off this bad vine and that dead wood, but be got right down on his knees in order to be able better to see Lis imperfections. As he cut and slashed at the evil nature of his own heart, did he not keep saying. “O Lord, help me to cut away all the evil tendrils of my sinful lifo?" \Vhon the springtime comes, thevk-h, green, tender shoots begin to grow, upon which the rabbits love to feast. To prevent this injury, the wise owner of tho vinoyards builds Ids wire fences clear around the vineyard to keep tlie four legged pests out. When the army worms marshal their hosts by the thousands and the millions and the bil lions and move forward to annihilate those vineyards, the owners of "the vineyards build their deep, wi le trenches about their precious fruits so that these worm destroyers cannot get in, as the cavalier of mediaeval times had his moats filled with water planted in a small aof the land which he owned." “Yes,” I reply. "While father lived the vineyard growers did not know as much about grape raising as we do now. Our forefathers did not have the system we have. Wire fences were not invented at that time. They did not know as much about pruning and cultivating. Besides that, this country was so sparsely settled fifty years ago that it would have been impossible to have gathered enough workmen at one time to have picked the grapes on the vines when they were ripe. That work has to Ik? done very quickly. Then, if my father had l>een able to pick all these grapes there were so few people living in southern California at that time that there would have been no markets for the grapes after they had ' een picked. Thus my father only planted a tenth part of his ranch Into vineyards.” Then you say: “But cou- ditious have changed. Why do you not change? Why do you coutinue to let all these fields lie idle because your father did? He had a reason for this fallow land. You have uoue. Do you uot realize that God holds you to ac count not only for taking care of your father's vineyards, but also for plant ing new vineyards of your own?” Ah, al)out his walled castle to keep the you are right. You are right. I am not enemies out. When the rich grapes only to be held accountable to God for come, the vineyard owner has his carrying on the good work which my armed men. as sentinels, continually Christian father and mother did, but mofriug in nnd out among the vines to I am also to be held accountable to drive away the quail that would eat him to do new work on my own ac- up the young grapes.

Y'ou quickly answered: “Char ley, you are not old enough. Wait a few years and then you can.” Then he looked up at you again. This time Us face looked more to you like year sainted mother’s tuau ever before, and he said: “But. papa, you are old enough. Why do you not join the church and pray as Harry’s father prays?” Then he said to you: "Papa. d > you suppose when I get to be a great big man like you are I won't want to go to church auy more th m you do?
