Subject for next Sunday morn
The Savior's parable of the
Barren Fig Tree, Luke 1869 was
the subject for meditation last
Sunday morning, and the practical
subject of
THE SIN OF UNrRUITFULNEsS
Was enforce from the suggestive
theme.
Having shown from the en-
phatic teaching of nature and the
Bible that the object for which man
was created is the glory of God it
was noted that the Savior tells us
the way that God designs it to be
done. Herein is My Father
glorifed that we bear much fruit. I"
Hence the great business and
purpose Of our existence on earth
is Christian fruitfulness. And If,
as we are told in Cor. 6:lo-20,
"Ye are not your own, for We are
bought with price. therefore
glorify God in your body and your
spirit which are Gods" il follows
that we are defrauding our Maker
out of his just dues when we live
for the service of self and the world
instead of the service Of God.
The Savior's story is Of a fig
tree planted in the fruitful soil Of
a vineyard, where II had the very
best opportunity to produce fruit.
The owner had perfect right to

sideration the advisability of
publishing all through this fall and
winter a twelve to sixteen page
paper each week, all home print,
and mostly all home news. We
have lately found eight pages con-
siderably crowded and believe that
conditions will demand at least
twelve pages. We know that they

now getting, but which should be

Timely Views and News
The Gift Of Song

I.
If / couldn't sing as | trudge along
To the goal through this earthly vi,
If / couldn't scatter the notes Of sono
AS flowers along the trail,
would want to hit up livelier gait
To quicken my laggard pace;
To hasten along to the joys that wait
Ahead at the stopping place.
There is Joy in song when you think i {.
With cheer on responding ears,
That it batters down the uprising walls
OF troubles and griefs and fears
That it smooths the path of fellow sOol
Who is bent meath heavy load,
And sweetens the bitterness of the bowl
AS he totters along the road.
A CHEEKY sonnet that strikes a chord
Responsive in other hearts,
That falls as soothing lotion poured
On the sting from misfortunes darts.
Is treasure greater than golden gain
To soul that is rent with care,
For gold cannot heal the smarting pain
OF wound that is ranking there.
So thank the Lord for the gift Of song,
For the beautiful boon of power
To scatter seeds as tramp along
That may rise into full-blown flower,
And I'll sing in my humble way until
The fingers that love to hold
The pen, in the grasp of death are still,
And the heart Of the singer is cold.

cut it down, why cumDeretn IL
the ground" A tree that fails in
what a tree was made for does not
deserve to live. 1t not only fails
of service but is a positive detri-
ment in the vineyard hindering
vines and numbering the ground.
Science calls it the survival of the
fittest, and nature exhibits, every
where, how she gets rid of useless
objects. And since the God OF the
natural world is the God OF the
spiritual world you naturally
expect that the useless soul will
share the same fate.
The original application of the
parable is of course to the Hebrew
nation which after all the adj
vantages God gave them failed to
fulfill the urpose for which God
called them and the barren fig tree
was cut down nation in the de-
struction of Jerusalem. But the
parable reaches out into a universal
application and teaches us in these
days of
THE SIN OF UNFRUITFULNESS
/. The great fault of the fig tree
was barrenness, failure shortcom-
ing. This was ALL but this was
enough to merit destruction. The
sin of omission in the perform
ance of duty to God and man is as
heinous as the sin of commission.
Omission Of obvious duty is as
culpable as overt acts of dis
obedience to an express command.
Archbishop Usher on his death
bed prayed, 20 Lord forgive me
especially for my sins of omission.
Want of conformity to the law Of
God is as much guilt as trans
gression Of the law. And the
judgment test of character as given
us by our Savior in Matt. rs
chapter is simply and only the sin
tOf omission. The goats" on the
left hand hear the word depart
FROM me ye cursed, not on ac-
count of overt sin, but failure to
minister to Christ in the person of
the hungry, the thirsty, the naked
the sick and the Prisoner. The
fig tree was to be cut down solely
because it was barren of fruit.
= AGGRAVATED uNFRUIrFULNEss
2. Its advantages unimproved
aggravated its fault. It's position
in the fruitful soil of the vineyard
and the oversight and care it re-
ceived gave it advantages over
other fig trees out in wild nature.
And so where much is given much
will be required. Better to have
been born in a heather land than
in this land of Christian light and
Christian influences and Christian
training, if we fail to improve our
advantages and responed to the
unusual privileges God has given
us. 1t aggravates our guilt If we
waste the advantages God has
given us.
CONTINUOUS UNFRUITFULNEss
5. There is point beyond
which patience ceases to be II
virtue. And SO after three
years of seeking fruit from the
useless boughs of that zig tree the
owner felt that he could wait no
longer and he gave orders for its
destruction.
We are told in Scripture MY |
Spirit shall not always strive with
man God only can know how
near to the end Of our probation
season some Of us may be. Surely
He has waited long enough to have
exhausted the patience of the hest1
