At the morning se^v-fce in St. P?ter's
Episcopal church yesterday.
Rev. Nathaniel Handing took aa his
text, "He spake by a parable: a aqwjef
went out to bow his seed,'1 which
Ik ftar^of the fourth and gfth verses
of the eighth chap^ifcof. L.uke.
I * Only one kind of soil, nald the rectorris
described In the parable as
thoroughly good. Those In between
represent the great mediocre mass of
people, who are undecided,/giving
forth some fruit, yet bringing no fruit
to perfectiyu. Th?? lesson to bo learned
Is slfhply the reality Of God's gift
in itself, and Its realltytb- ub, accord4ng?to-our-eceptlon
-of-? it-. The parable
mirrored the'many future failures
and the few successes of the listning
disciples. To Christian; work|ers,
>it nays; J,'Do not be deceived by
appfarancos or deluded by apparent
failure, even though there be much
sowing and little reaping. The- minister
of the gosp"! who sows the word
must reckon with the inattention of
his hearers, the words of tru^i being
no sooner uttered than (hey are lo*t, j
carried away by the wind.
The privilege of hearing the gos-1
pel is something we should be thank- j
ful for.. It is a sad thing to be in the!
way. of salvation and yet be unsaved, j
The crfrca and pleasures of this world
are prone to absorb the energy which
should go to maintain the spiritual j
life. Yet. let us take one of the
commonest and most universal'vanl-'
ties, that of clothea: God rebukes
this vanity by reminding u? that an'
Eastern monarch, hia vestment gorg-!
eruis with Jewels aThtcnagniflcent with '
embroidery, Is not^lothed like a HUyJ
of- the -field.? Clothing undoubted!} i
exerts a moral Influence, but wc must j
o'e upon our guard againbt estimating,
the worth of ourselves and others by
the richness of our dress. The lillyj
of the field should teach us depend-1
ence; Christ .says that o?w Heavouly]
FatherMcnoweth that we have need,
of these things, and they shall he add-'
