STUDIES IN
 THE PARABLES

The subject treated by Rev. Cart'r in his sermon last evening was "St1"- ies in the Parables of Jesus" The parables mentioned were concernnS the lost coin, the lost sheep and the lost boy, or the prodical son. It 'S claimed by one who was born and grew to young manhood in Syria, that teaching in parables is a distincty Oriental characteristic; that par able is a word picture whose purp"S" is not to construct a definition or to establish a doctrine, but to convey an impression; that parabolic speech IS dear to the Oriental heart, is pOetical, mystical, sociable. The same Syrian writer states that he has often held the little hand lamp while his mothc: has searched ever nook and corner of the dark room for the coin that chanc ed to be lost. The straw mats, cush' ions. and sheepskins which cover tn" floor are turned over, and the earthcn floor swept.
 "The impression sought to be con- veyed," said Rev. Carter, "is infinite value which the Father places upan the human soul. The writer of the eighth psalm says: When consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? The context clearly shows that God considers man not as insignificant, for the writer of the psalm says: Thou has made hnn but little lower than God, or the h1~ gels.
 "Each of the parablcs mentioned convey the same thought, and show that when a man who is not fulfilling the mission for which he was sent in- to the world, has been drawn or st cy ed from the right course, and has been found and set on the right way again, there is great rejoicing, not only among his friends upon earth, tut ev- on among the angels of heaven.
 "The question for each of us to ask ourselves is, Am l measuring up to the standard of the high calling sot before man, the greatest of Gods creatures here upon earth ?"
