The Vine and the Branch.

In the Scripture selection for this week,
the 18th and adjoining chapters Of John,
we have a fuller revelation Of the mind
and heart Of Christ than Is given In any
other portion OF the Bible. Here we find
pictured the highest ideal Of Christian
life
Il am the vine, We are the branches;
he that abideth In me and In him. the
same beareth much fruit, for apart from
me We can do nothing"
The student OF horticulture learns that
the vine is not single plant. or individu-
ality, but is body corporate. "a collec-
ton OF living, growing, but distinct,
plants; each season new shoots spring
from the buds which crown the old ones,
and these are Its only living parts. So
with the union between Christ and His
people. Each member has his own per-
sonality, his own individual existence.
yet is he regarded as scion OF one COM
mon stock"
The parable sets forth with great clear
ness and force the product. process and
power Of the Christian life. We are to
produce. not little. but much fruit. :"
