EMBRYO KINGDON* PARABLES Mark iv. 26-32, Matthew pjlllj 33. July 21. "7%\t Kinrfiom <<omt.

Now we see the real Import of IBS Great Teacher's utterances 08 IBM sub Ject As He taught us to nray. "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, even us It Is doue ln heaven." He meant that we should have ln mind God's glorious promise that eventually, through Messiah's Kingdom, Ignorance, sin and death will be overthrown, and the obedient of snktud will be re leased from these until "every knee shall bow und every tongue coufess" to the glory of God, Today's study seta before us n nttm her of Jesus' parables respecting the Kingdom. Tbe ma Jorltr of these refer to the Kingdom data of tbe present time rather than to the Kingdom ln Its folly developed state. All of God's consecrated people since Pentecost con? stitute the Kingdom in embryo. Some of these embryo mem- "A engt for rterf bars may yet fall to aWaBsM bird." make their calling and election sure, may fall to bear the "well done," The Kingdom Development Slow. Tbe flrst Illustration of our lesson is that God's 'vlngdom ln Its etnbryotic condltlon Is of slow development, cov ?ring tbe entire period of this Gospel Age. It Is like seed cast into the ground, whhh brings Its matutity when It Is harvested. Jesus and the Apostles did the seed sowing, not only for their own day but for the whole "wheat" class The gathering for the * heavenly garner will be accomplished by the First Kesurreetioo. The different parables do not view the embyro Kingdom from the same standpoint The parable of the BUM tard seed appears to represent the Kingdom from the view|>oiut of the work). From that little seed we have a great Institution today with many denominational branches. Hut alas! its thrifty development has Invited Into its branches the fowls of the air, which the Lord elsewhere describes as representinu* the *V|< ked One and Ms angels who could have no place In the Church If It were to proclaim only the true CkMptl Indeed. It i Hi" ggfjlgd to preach this Goapel of the "narrow way" tint has brought auch prosperity to nominal Christianity and made It a desirable place for the low Is of the air"-Satan and his dtlt ibsl opes. This seems to he the picture whl< h the tri.Ml Teach r?r gives us in Revelation \Aiii, 2: "She hath bee.e the ho d of e\ cry foul spirit and the cage of gs/gfy unclem and hateful hud The word "cage" seems to imply that these "birds" arc considered very de slrable, and arc held ou to by nominal Christianity-probably because regard ? ed as beta;; amongst their l>est paying members Parable of tha Laavan. Throughout the Scriptures /rates Is need as the symbol of sin. Thus when Jesus in His purity was to be s\ ui bollzed as the "brend from heaven," the Jews were directed to use union v , cned bread \gnlu, at their unnual I'issoNer son-M.ii. the .lews were di? rected to cleanse their houses of leav? en. HL Paul, commenting on this, writes to the Church. "Purge out, therefore, the old leaven" (sin, malice, hatred, strife. etc.J. that you may be, with Christ, tbe one unleavened Loaf. It Is true that ln one of the otnctsl sacrifices bread wns to bo baked with leaven; but this, we believe, was for the very BBffBM of symbolizing tho fact that we. tt?? Church, were by na , .,. m| ture sinners, "chil? dren of wrath, even as others."

Claims it Violates Trent) und Tliui Free PuM*uge r??r American Ship* Would Im' Discriminator) ami in jtlSt. Washington, July 11.?The line* were drawn tonight for a great dip lomatic struggle between the United' States and Great Brltlan over the qu< ition of whether this country may discriminate in favor '<f American ves vela In the administration of the Pan ama canal. The wordy war may terminate In the submission ol the question to The Hague tribunal. Tha series ol diplomatic and le^i> lative conferences today developed the fact that the forces In the Amer? ican government which favor allow? ing American a hip? free passage through the anal are in control. These forces take the position that there is nothing In the Hay-Paunce fote treaty, under which the canal waa built, to prevent this concession. The diplomatic struggle, precipitat? ed by the note received today from Mitchell innes, charge of the British ; embassy, will he fought along the following lines: j Great Britain Will take the position that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty pro \ -ion, which forbids discrimination in : <>r of the interests of any nation. lj tin- Conduct of the canal, would ? rate against the provisions of the | Panama bill now under consideration In the Senat?-. This position will he J supported by a lengthy argument now in its way from London by mail, which will be presented to the state depart? ment and transmitted t<> congress im? mediately apon its arrival. I The United States will hold that so long as the ships of all foreign na? tions are accorded the Bame treatment in tim use of the ' anal, the United States may pass American ships free. <-r rebate the toils charged them. This position was t; ken by the house when it reversed the report of the house Interstate ami foreign commerce ? om mit tee, which would have prevented free passage to American -hips, and passed the pn sent bill. The ultimate passage of the meas? ure now before the senate seems as? sured. Tin- men behind the bill in the senate said today that the British ... not?' would not prevent consideration of the measure whenever it could be reached in the ordinary course of bus? iness. But the position of Great Brit? ain will strengthen tin- opposite n to the pr<>\ Islon. I After a conference with President Taft, Representative SuUser ol New Yotk. chairman of the house com? mittee on foreign affairs, made a pi t< men! supporting the hill !le sa i?l i "If course, I am surprised that the British government now objects to the United States government regu? lating the tolls ol its own ships through the Panama canal. However, nothing serious will com:.- of the ob? jection, The treaty is plain and clear t?? all. The British government should not and can not complain of it if no toll discrimination is made against British ships In favor of the ships of other nations. ??That Is the real meaning of tic treaty and we shall carry out its pro? visions In good faith, We have th< riuht under the treaty t.. charge or not to charge tolls for our own ships. Doubtless congress will proceed with tin- Panama)canal legislation regard? less o'' the criticism of our friends a?r..ss tin- water. Besides, second thought will put them right and show conclusively their position la unten? able." it is generally understood thai this position i-: supported by President Taft and Secretary Stlmson of the war department in charge of the Panama administration. While the British not.- caused some comment on tin- unusual Inci? dent of n foreign nation Interfering w ith legislation* In i formative stage, it waa pointed out that this was tin only course by which <ir.-at Britain could oppose the measure, .lust as soon a- tim hill becomes a law under supreme court decisions, it super? sedes all treaties bearing on the same subject matter, and would thus leave Great Britain no ground for objec? tion nfter it had I.n written "ti the statute I.ks.

Although the text was withheld II was Bald it the state department the British government fell that to allow \merl an vessels lo pass through tin canal without payment of toll would ! ? to violate the Hay-Pauncefotsj ti eaty, A h to the coastwise traffic, the Brit ;>h government felt it would be dim cult to frame a provision that would not be unjust t-? its interests. h was requested that congress hold the pending bill until the em bassy had an opportunity to transmit to the state department a supplemen? tary statement from the British gov? ernment now on the wgy rum I.on don by mail.
