ProdigaD Sons Legal Status

parable did, and it must have been a
proceeding we'll understood by those
TO whom Jesus "a speaking. But
this young man proved a poor or in
experienced business man, or perhaps
he only had a good time while his
money lasted. But after his money
was gone, and he mad found it hard
to get along on his own resources, he
got homesick. He knew he could not
be received as an heir or even as a
son-he had received his portion and
had renoa,nced his kinship. All that
vas possible for him at home was
work as a hired laborer; he had no
right to expect anything better. But
he was so near the end OF his re-
sources that he preferred that to the
dreary prospect ahead.
This legal condition takes the curse
off the conduct of the elder brother.
He did not know what his father
wished him to do, SO to relieve his
suspense the father told him that all
that he had belonged to him; they
would receive the returned wanderer
not as an heir, but as a son and
brother. The parable in this light
makes still clearer the divine plan of
salvation. BY his waywardness the
Prodigal Son has forfeited all legal
claims to his fathers considerations;
only through paternal love can he be
readmitted and reinstated in the brok-
en- family circle.-Minneapolis Trib-
