him to gain his living through an ocCu-
patton which was instinctively repulsive
to him.
In the foreground of the wonderful pic
ture is the father. II for a moment we
are surprised at his consent to give this
man the substance he asked for. knowing
the purpose for which he demanded it.
il is because we forget that in the econ
omy OF Gods dealings with men. and
therefore in the true economy of the deal
ing of any father with his children. every
son must be allowed to work out what is
in him. While not stated in many
words. the pictur. most clearly reveals
the father as loving and suffering
throughout the whole time of the wan
dering of his son. At last in the far
country came the day when the son re-
membered his father. and the home. and
returned. IL is at this point that all the
glory and grace of the heart of the faith
er is revealed. He saw the son while yet
a great way off. and ran to meet him.
He received him without reproach, seeing
that his face was now turned back again.
He heard and cut short his confession, re-
storing him in abundance of love. and
with overfiowing bounty, to the privileges
of his sonship.
To this picture. so full of beauty. the
Lord added words most evidently intend
ed for the rebuke of men out Of SYM
pathy with this attitude of God as He
described the demeanor of the elder son.
As We have said. this part of the par
able was certainly rebuke, but It was
very tender, and therein is a yet further
revelation of the grace of the heart of
God. To this elder son. hard and cold
and unsympathetic. the father neverthe-
less came out, and entreated him. II there
is a revelation of tenderness. however,
the words Of the father leave no doubt
upon the mind that the only condition of
continued fellowship with Him on the
part of such a man is that of His willing
ness to receive his brother.

this is Christ's one great word-picture of

that is possible to us. all the suffering

that the One Who uttered the parable

credit on His name: and secondly in that
He was in such fun sympathy with his

The Golden Text.
The Golden Text fittingly fastens our
final thought upon the true attitude OF
those who. having gone to the far coun-
try, return to the Father and to His
home It is that of determined going
back and confession of sin. Nothing
more Is required. In this connection II Is
full of interest to observe that the prayer
which the son prepared in the far coun-
try was never fully offered. The grace
of the fathers heart, acting Immediately
toward him, prevented him ever saying.
Make me as one of thy hired servants.
He did say. Il am no more worthy TO be
called thy SON. but in the Golden Text
as chosen. even these words are omitted.
and the omission is in harmony with ths
action of the father in giving him the
privileges Of sonship.
