The time of our lesson is the close of Jesus

Sea of Galilee, probably Capernaum; it in
the autumn of a. d. 2S. There had been steadily
growing opposition to him. the part of the Phar
This opposition accounts in part for his new
method of teaching by parallels. He could set forth
facts about his kingdom and its relation to the Jew
ish and Roman government which would have arous-
ed intense opposition if taught directly.
A parable is analogy; it assumes likeness be-
tween higher and lower things; and may be drawn
out into story, description, in most of Jesus
parallels Matthew records parallels, and Mark
more; Alexander Macaren says of them: "ThcY
a great whole, setting forth the mystery of the
kingdom in its method of establishment, its corrup
ton, its outward and inward growth, the conditions
of entrance into it, and its final publication" The
first of this series of parallels is present lesson
and is generally called the Parable of the Sewer But
the subject of it is rather the soils than the Sewer.
And he began again to teach by the seaside. We
have full record of what is probably specimen day
in Christs busy life; he had healed the blind and
dumb demoniac, and had discussion with

the will of his Father his kin: and now
find him at the seashOre surrounded by multi
tude that he enters into ship and teaches from
that.
Behold there went out sower to SOW Christ
is the great sower, who has come forth from the
Father He has made co-workers with himself.
The seed fell by the wayside on stony ground among
thorns, and good ground The fowls of the air
devoured it; it sprang up in thin soil and the
scorched it it grew among thorns and choked;
but it also fell in good ground and brought forth
abundantly.
Now the seed sown is the word; there is no fault
in the seed it is absolutely perfect it shows its
vitality by hourshing under the most adverse cir
cumsances. And when it does fall into good ground
it brings forth hundred fold. With such
seed to sow. how undiscouragedly should scatter
it; how lavishly that in face of waste and poor
returns there will still be an abundant harvest.
"And when he alone. they that were about
him with the twelve asked of him the parallels " And
he said unto them Unto you is given to know the
mystery of the kingdom of God" Mystery is not
something uHkHo,cabie but something that has to be
rere1Ied. And he interpreted his parallels to them

Oakland this week has three times
the population It ever had before.
Oakland escaped With less damage
than any Of the cities Immediately
around San Francisco.
A dozen little ones have been born in
the parks and camps Of the homeless
people Of the Stricken City since the
earthquake.
Some inhuman monster, at the begin
ming Of the catastrophe, charged the
hungry sufferers 81 per loaf for bread;
scores of grocerymen, knowing the town
was doomed. threw their doors wide
open and invited the crowd to help
themselves.
Over in Idora Park, in Oakland on
Friday last where 1900 people we're be-
ing cared for and fed, Of which 700 were
men, the park overseer announced that
work at good wages would be provided
for every man who would apply to the
Oakland Chamber Of Commerce. Not
man of the 700 in that park started
for work, and they were then ordered
out leaving 900 women and children to
be cared for.
At the lst Congregational church in
San Francisco. scores of women are this
week making garments for the needy,
hundreds are fed there every day. and
at night the building is full Of sleepers.
One restaurant that escaped destruction
has printed on its bill Of fare-"On ac'
count of the great calamity this retau'
rant has reduced the prices Of meals
for refugees"
Since the morning of the 18th there
has been an incessant heartrendinl
search for lost ones; hundreds hav'
been found, but there ace many hun

The Brown Realty Company proposes
TO open model farm of FIVE hundred
acres a short distance east Of Deming,
and have pledged 5000 to this object.
The people Of Deming have shown
their interest in the enterprise by sub
scribing SS, 900 in addition to the Realty
Co.'S pledge. Thirteen thousand dollars
are now available and the farm work
will proceed without unnecessary delay.
The necessity Of farm Of this kind has
been felt by our citizens for years, but
for the lack Of united effort the matter
has been delayed until row. Under prop

we'd systems of land culture in this local
lty, the Deming model farm will soon
become our best advertisement Of the
soil capabilities of Luna County.

For one pulled this way, one pulled that,
Each with a stubborn viii;
And al the others did the same
On varying lines, until
The net result was always that
The old town stood stock still.
Now thls would all be changed, they said,
And all would pull in line;
And things would move and thing would
hum
And croakers cease 10 whine,
When everybody pulled his best
And all should pull in line.
Now what we needed, only was
Some enterprising man
To take the lead and show the rest
Some practical plan
son which all parties could agree
Before the work began.
Then up spake one, and he was sure
He knew the very scheme;
1t was new railroad. he said,
The boomers favorite theme.
The others all sat down on him;
-"It was AN idle dream"
Another spoke Of water-wOrks,
With elOquence and power;
Another Of big hote!
For tourists on the tour;
One thought it might be well to try
One sanitarium or more.
Each speaker had his own idea
And argued it with vim;
The others Couldn't see il"
And thought its promise dim;
As each in turn rose up and spoke
The Others went for him.
And the old town stands stock still.
