A A'cRlccted Vineyard.
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. Thus did your count and to plant new vineyards.

and dig their ditches and fight away been carefully cultivated by our Cbris-
the little foxes of evil and the quail tian ancestors. But is that any reason
of temptations which would come to to neglect new fields of gospel labor?

his deep blue eye-; he looked up into
your face as he said. “Pupa, will you

prayer meeting, aud most devoutly does

But do not neglect your own vineyards.
When your children grow up let them
not have to say, “My father was never
at home; he did not do anything for my
religious training.” May you never
