and also that will come true to kind.
If the seed will not produce the la -

opportunities are lost when tne seetiiand unieS6 Gne who has bten given
is not true to kind the harvest is not crejit mtets bis obligations. Lut
what is desired, the matter of seed. wllen aj tiQ the square thing then
wheat, rye, oats, barley and grasses, an can
are often foul with other seeds." Here is a bit of Maupin's logic put
Sometimes grasses cneai or tcub.
The parable of the wheat and the
tares is very aptly to tne point, ior
as the story goes. Matthew 13:20
T.O. "Another parable put he forth
unto mem saying, int.- hinuum i
heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field. But
while he slept the enomy came and
powed tares in the wheat and went
bm way. But when the blade was
sprung up and brought forth fruit
then oppared the tares also. So the
servants of the householder came and
paid unto him. Sir, didst thou not
sow coo'l eed in thy field, from
whenr" then bath it tares? He said j
unto them. An enemy hath done ;
tli is. The servants said unto him.
Wilt thou we go and gather them
up? Cut ho Eai'i. No! Lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also
the wheat with them. Let them
both prow together until the harvest
:.r:l in the time of the harvest I will
say unto the reapers. Gather ye first
the tares and bind them in bundles
r.nd burn them. But gather the
v.heat into my barns," which in ex
planation the Master paid. "He that
ov.eth the good seed is the Son of
Mrn (the very' Christ himself, the
Son of the most high God). The
field i? the world; the good seed is
the children cf the kingdom, but the
taxeE ?re the children of the wicked
one, the enemy that sowed them ia
the devil: the harvest is the end of
Vie world and the reapers are the
jnsels. As the tares are therefore
rathered and b'jried so therefore it
h-'il 1 -e at end of the world, the
on c Man send forth his An-
ce!s and they shall gather out of the
kingdom all things that offered and
tb"ui that do iniquity and shall cast
ibe-1 into the fire ard there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then
shall the righteous shine forth as
the -sn in the- kingdom of their
Father, who hath ears to hear, let
him hear.
It ir- the mission of the church,
f'.e Bible fccbool. of all good citizens,
cf the presp and all avenues of good
to sow the seed of the kingdom and
t.i ;:e to it that it has an opportun
ity to produce an abundant crop.
One occordinsr to Christ is to be lib-i-f
:cl from his sins and given the
liberty he .r-osnel. not bound with
rererr-oriie". ordinances that have
Jong been miled to the cross, for the
Maxtor sHd at the time when he call
ed -ith a loud voice "Lazarus come
forth" and be that was dead came
forth bc'tnd hand and foot. Then
.Tefcu5 said. Loose hi--i and let him
"o. So Paul tausrht thr.t one should
rot be bound by deal ordinances,
T. hi( h were not able to save but
should be given the liberty of the
rnsnpi which he came to bring. Thus
raid Paul does not mean a lesson to
fiiim tho lusts cf the flesh, but in
love rerve one another for the
v-ho1a law i'; fulfilled even in this
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself."
Treat all a"? brothers and sisters,
looking to their interest and welfare
as to give over for if you are treated
as under the law all would receive
ondep;natiOTi. We are saved thrn
ti: grace and by faith but good
v.-nrks are expected to follow under
this gospel: The fruit of the spirit
of God as taught by the Master and
exemplified by the gospel upon men
is iove. joy, peice. long suffering,
kindness. goodness, faithfulness,
loeknees. self control against which
there is no law. They that are of
rirrt have crucified the flesh with
the rassions and luttr: theroof.
