SIDE-LIGHTS.

What is a Parable.-A parable is a fictitious
narrative true to nature, yet undeceptive, yelling
spiritual truth under symbol, for the purpose of
conveying it to minds reluctant Indifferent. 1t
differs from the proverb in being narrative, from
the fable in being true to nature, from the myth in
being undeceptve, from the allegoy in that it wells
the spiritual truth.-Lyman A66ot.
The Philosophy Of Parab,es-There is close
analogy between the external and the spiritual
world. The same laws govern both spirit and mat
ter.
The Uses of the Parable.-The sacred parable
was wonderful vehicle of truth to serve three dis
tinct purposes, namely to reveal to conceal and to
perpetuate. 1t revealed the sacred truth by the
striking power of analogy and illustration. 1t con-
cealed the truth from him who had not by proper
sympathy previous instruction the true key to its
hidden meaning. To such one it was riddle or
tale. And so our Lord could give to his disciples
in this method the deepest secrets of his kingdom
for ages, while the caviler, who would abuse the
truth, heard without understanding. But the truth
thus embodied in narrative was as it were material
lied, and made fit for perpetuation. 1t had form
and body to It, by which it could be preserved in
tangible shape tor future ages.-IVhed0u.
The Gennessaret Plain as Seen and Described
by Dean Stanley.-There was the undulating corn
fields Gwheat or barley fields1 descending to the
waters edge. There was the trodden pathway rum
ming through the midst of it, with no fence hedge
to prevent the seed from falling here and there on
either side of it, upon it itself hard with constant
tramp of horse, mule, and human feet. There was
the good" rich SOIL which distinguishes the whole
of that plain and its neghborhood from the bare
hills, elsewhere descending into the lake, and which,
where there is no interruption, produces vast
mass of corn. There was the rocky ground of the
hillside protruding here and there through the
fields, as elsewhere through the grassy slopes.
There we're the large bushes of thorn,-the "Nabk,"
that kind of which tradition says that the Of
thorns was woven-springing up like the fruit trees
of the more inland parts of the waving wheat
Sinai and Palestine.
The Nurture Of Good Soil Which Brought
Forth Good Fruit.-On the stone in Westminster
Abbey covering the grave of Mr.. George Peabody
there inscribed this sentence, uttered by him in his
old age, and recorded by friend who heard it 81
have prayed my heavenly Father day by day that l
may be enabled before die to show my gratitude
for the blessings which he has bestowed upon by
doing some great good to my feow-men."

INTRODUCTION.

The most characteristic form of speech
Jesus made use of was the parable. 1t
used an incident, taken from common life
and rounded into gem-like picture, to set
forth some corresponding truth in the
higher and spiritual region. 1t was
favorite Jewish mode of putting truth but
Jesus impaired to it by far the richest and
most perfect development. About one
third of all his sayings which have been
preserved to US consists of parallels. This
shows how they stuck in the memory. In
the same way the hearers of the sermons
of any preacher will probably, after few
years, remember the illustrations they have
contained far better than anything else in
them. How these parallels have remained
in the memory of all generations since!
The Prodigal Son, the Sewer, the Ten
Virgins, the Good Samaritan,-thesea and
many others are pictures hung up in mil
lions of minds. What passages in the
greatest masters of expression,-in Homer,
in Virgil, in Dante, in Shakspeare,-have
secured for themselves so universal hold
on men, or been felt to be so fadelessly
fresh and true7 He never went far for his
illustrations. AS master of painting will
make you, with a morsel of chalk or
burnt stick, face at which you must
laugh, or weep, or wonder, so Jesus took
the commonest objects and incidents
around him,-the sewing of a piece of
cloth on an old garment, the bursting of
an old bottle, the children playing in the
market-place, at weddings and funerals, or
the tumbling of hut in storm,-to
change them into perfect pictures, and to
make them the vehicles for conveying to
the world immortal truth. No wonder the
crowds followed him! Even the simplest
could delight in such pictures and carry
away as lifelong possession the expression
at least of his ideas, though it may require
the thought of centuries to pierce thssr
crystalline depths. There was never any
speaking so simple yet SO profound, so
pictorial yet so absolutely true.-JAMEs

Obi CTs TO FEDERAL TROOPS

Cleveland knox" AItgeld Out In the First
Round.
WASHINGTON, July ION Thursday
Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois sent a telegram
to President Cleveland requesting him
to remove the federal troops from the
state. The president refused to comply
with the request in the following plain
language:
John +. Altgeld, Governor Of Illinois:
The federal troops we're cent to Chicago
in strict accordance with the constitu-
ton and laws OF the United States upon
the demand Of the p~ostofice department
that the obstruction OF mails should be
removed; and on the representa-.
tion Of the judicial officers OF
the United States that process OF the
federal courts could not be executed
through the ordinary means and upon
abundant proof that conspiracies exist
against commerce between states. To
meet these conditions, which are clearly
in the PROVENCE Of the federal authority,
the presence of federal troops in the city
Of Chicago was deemed not only proper,
but necessary, and there has been no in.
tention OF thereby interfering with the
duty Of the local authorities to preserve
the peace of the city.

GEN. MILES IN COMMAND.
Order Must Be Maintained Let 1t Cost
What 1t Will in Time, Blood,
and Money.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Ninety men of the
Fifteenth regiment, under Maj. Hartz
and Captains Chaplin and Mitchell, dis
persed 5000 men who we're blocking the
passage Of a meat train near the main
entrance Of the stock yards this morn
ing. A short distance from the scene of
the trouble the order TO move on the
double quick with fixed bayonets was
given. Through the crowd the soldiers
went without resistance and the strikers
and their sympathizers fled without re-
forming.
Gen. Miles said this forenoon that he
considered the strike situation more fav-
orable than was anticipated. The sol
diers from Fort Leavenworth he said
would arrive this afternoon. At l
o'clock the meat train had moved only
to the Fort Wayne crossing. At the
crossing the gates were closed and no
one would open them. Additions to the
mob were being received continually and
the crowd rapidly grew more excited.
Threats of violence we're loud, stones
we're thrown and the temper Of the
crowd was such that United States Mar
shall Donnelly remarked that a violent
encounter was probable. The stock
yards at Fifty-fourth street are full OF
strikers. Companies G and G Of the
Fifth infantry have arrived at Blue
Island to reinforce the troops already
there. Company G marched through
the yards at charged bayonets and the
mob disappeared before them.
AT the Forty seventh street crossing OF
the Rock Island an immense crowd was
gathered anticipating the arrival OF the
morning Rock Island passenger train
The troops cleared the track. There was
some stone throwing but the train pro
ceeded to the city.
Gen. Miles says that with the troops
now on the way the forces in Chicago
will number 1000 men. III that is no
enough to maintain order" said the gen
eral, "the government will furnish more.
Gen. Miles, when informed OF the chargv
of the mob at the stock yards, remarked
significantly, Somebody will get hur
down there"
