I "As if a luan should cast seed into the ground and the seed should spring and grow up, he kiiowetli not how." 1 The old miracle of seed time and harvest is being again performed before our open eyes. We see the transformation of bare hillsides into verdure clad billows of beauty, Bare seeds arc sown, and we watch the breaking graves of ( eoH heaved with mysterious life beneath until the blade, the bloom, the fruit ' appear. We watch the whole process as , we liave watched it all the years past with keen eyed wonder and bated breath. Yet we have never been able to discover tho power that works in all the process nor to detect the hidden worker who produces tho open wonder before our sight. Last night in a prayer meeting a young lady arose?shall we call her girl or woman? She was on that boundary line so fascinating between the two? girlhood merging into sweeter, deeper mysteries of womanhood, eyes kindling witli new visions, lips parted with new speech, cars alert for new music, heart beating with expectancy, feet pressing new thresholds of opportunity. She arose without invitation and said simply. modestly, bravely, "I wish to do all I possibly can for Jesus the coming year." That was all. But how lunch it meant! The seed of years gone by, watered with prayerful tears by father and mother, watched with heart longing unutterable for long months, bad sprung to life. The springtime had come. In that* life there had been no lapse into sinful dissipation and agonizing repentance, no.special altar service with importunity, hesitancy and final yielding of will. All these are good in cases which need them.. In her case there was no such need. In babyhood she was di>die:ifpil to (4iu1 in linntioii mill rloilv prayed over, and from earliest infancy ; the spirit life eared for as tenderly, patiently, skillfully, as the little body was nourished and noised. From physical , weakness she had been developed to robust, young, healthy womanhood. In j spirit she had been as carefully reared. ] The Bible was to her God's truth, to bo < known, believed and practiced. Jesns was her Saviour. She belonged to Him, ( was an object of His constant care and assured of His protection, love and direction. Iler duty and privilege were to 1/Vo. trust and help Him. All this had been germinating, growing with her expanding intellect and increasing pow- 1 ers of body and soul, untii now it burst ' the husl: nnd showed the blade of a new existence in upper air and sunshine. So grows the kingdom of God in the human soul. Plant with patience, water and cultivate with diligence, trust -JiCfid-iu.-'iX-tid -SnnJ soil, time into blade and ear and harvest. unseen, the Life Giver still invisible, bnt (lie growth reveals Him near, and the old miracle of life continues with unabated attractiveness in the lives of His people. Blossoms must bloom of themselves. To force open the calyx and hasten the flowering is to ruin all. If it blooms at all, it must be by inner impulse and not from outward force. Pick open tho bud. and you spoil the rose. A dozen seeds share the same home in a handful of veil, and spring into leaf under tho same sun rays and breezes. The same tiewdrops and showers water them, yet r,o two are alike in leaf or root or flower. What mysterionsnesa lies here! Who dreamed that each of these brown seeds held such power of thought and will and feeling as to set lect from soil and sun and air and moisj tare just the elements adapted to develop its own plan? What wisdom in y planning nnd executing the design! ,1 Surely a seed is a wonderful thinker r and a most skillful worker. Do seeds think and feel and choose? ?? How seeds grow, who can tell? How 11 souls grow each cno can know eome: what if his own soul grows nnd ho ! watches its development. What can a lily know of tho thoughts nnd feelings I' of a rose except as it watches itself nnd supposes the other to bolikoit? Seeds have impulses; so have souls. Roots ;1" meet stones they cannot penetrate and , lind also soil with elements they car na take and in tlieir inner structure cu<iuH< (r.? from mineral to vegetable.

( Tho i. ture of spiritual growth is rep- ; esented in the topical reference by two , iambics of Christ concerning tho growth of seed cast into the ground. < Che soil is the human heart; the seed , s the word of God; the growth is spirtnal development ; the fruit is Chris;iau character; tho harvest is the end s if the world, when God distributes His eWards and punishments. The one bought emphasized by the topic and s ilso by these two parables is the nature .. if spiritual growth, or the growth of he kingdom of God in the heart and 1 ife of men. Several characteristics of i piritual growth are pointed out. 1. Spiritual growth is constant. The eed grows continually. The man rises 1 light and day, and the seed springs up ' ind grows.

Die seed should spring up and grow, he iiioweth not how, fur the earth bring tb forth fruit of herself. How mysteri- 1 )us is growth I Who can explain it or 1 inderstand it.? The fact we know; the ') ihilosophy is unknown. How charac- l eristic of spiritual growth ! Spiritual lirtl) is mysterious. "The wind bloweth vhere it listeth, * * * hut thou canst not 1 ell whence it conieth or whither it 1 ;oeth. So is every one who is horn of ?' he Spirit." Mystery is the nature of ipiritual growth. Who can explain low the word of God can take hold of he human heart and change it and 1 ransfonn the human life? We know t he fact, a blessed knowledge, but the i diilosopliy of it is unfathomable. It is t ?f God and mysterious, incoinpreliensiile. 3. Spiritual growth is gradual and 1 irogressive. "First the blade, then the 1 ar; after that the full corn in the ear." < step by step the process continues. The h irder is always the same; it is never eversed. God is orderly in all that lie loes. The fact should warn us against oo high expectations. Wo cannot be- c ome saints in a day. Saints are not ' Kirn, but developed. It should act as an t ucouragemeut and inspiration.

Christians have new motives for missionary activity in these days. The old theory that whoever does not accept Christ in this life is lost, whether he has ever heard the gospel or not, is seldom broached now by the more intelligent classes of people. But present motives are, or should be, no less strong than those of former days in encouraging missionary activities. To bring light into darkened souls; to encourage tlie weary and heavy laden, sinking under life's burdens; to uplift the fallen; to give strength to ovcrconio tho demons of lust and selfishness; to show tho despairing mourner that the grave is ' but the open portal to heaven?these are the true motives to missionary effort.
