The Parable of the Sewer
And when a great crowd was
/ assembling, and was receiving
additions from one town after another,
He spoke a parable to them.
THE sower,' He said, goes out
to sow his seed; and as he sows, some
of the seed falls by the way-side, and
is trodden upon. or the birds of the
air come and peck it up. Another
part drops upon the rock. and after
growing up it withers away for want
the thorns, and the thorns grow up
with it and stifle it. But some or
the seed falls into good ground, and
grows up and yields a return of a
hundred for one"
While thus speaking, He cried aloud
and said, -
Listen. every one who has ears to
! listen with"
Tho Story explained
The disciples proceeded to ask Him
what this parable meant.
ITO you" He replied, sit is granted
to know the secrets of the Kingdom of
God; but all others are taught by
parallels, in order that they may see
and yet not see, and may hear and yet
not understand. The meaning of the
parable is as follows. The seed is
Gods Message. Those by the way
side are those who have heard. and
then the Devil comes and carries
away the Message from their hearts
lest they should believe and be saved
Those on the rock are the people who
on hearing the Message receive it Joy
fully; but they have no root: for
time they believe, but when trial
comes they fall away That which
fell among the thorns means those
who have heard. but, as they go on
their way, the Message is stifled by the
anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time,
and they yield nothing in perfection
But as for that in the good ground il
the Message with open minds and in
a right spirit. hold it fast and
patiently yield return.
Lamps are for giving Light
when any one lights a lamp. he
does not cover it with a vessel or hide
it under couch: he putt it on
lampstand, that people who enter the
room may see the light. There is
nothing hidden, which shall not be
openly seen; nor anything secret
which shall not be known and come
into the light of day. Be careful
therefore, how you hear; for whoever
has anything, to him more shall be
given, and whoever has nothing, even
that which he thinks he has shall
BE taken away from him"
Christ's Relatives try to speak
to Him
Then came to Him His mother and
His brothers. but could not get near
Him for the crowd. But He was told
Your mother and brothers are
standing on the edge of the crowd,
and want 10 see you
MY mother and my brothers. He
replied. ARE these who hear Gods
Message and obey it"
A Storm subdued
One day He went on board a boat
both He and His disciples; and He
said to them
LET US cross over to the other side
of the Lake"
So they set sail. During the
passage He <fell asleep, and there
came down a squalI of wind on the
Lake. so tIat the beat began to fill
and they were in deadly peril. So
they came and woke Him, saying.
rabbi, Rabbi, We are drowning"
Then He reused Himself and
rebuked the wind and the surging of

allowed no one to go in with Him but
Peter and John and James and the
girls father and mother. The people
were all weeping, aloud and beating
their breasts for her; but He said,
Leave off wailing; for she is not
dead, but asleep
And they jeered at Him. knowing
that she was dead. He, however,
took her by the hand and called aloud.
Child, awake!"
And her spirit returned. and
instantly she stood up; and He
directed them to give her some food.
Her parents were astounded; but He
forbad them to mention the matter to
any one.
Then calling the Twelve together
He conferred on them power and
authority over all the demons and to
cure diseases; and sent them out to
proclaim the Kingdom of God and to
cure the sick And He commanded
them,
Take nothing for your journey;
neither stick Tor bag nor bread nor
money; and do not have an extra
under garment. Whatever house you
enter, make that your home, and from
it start afresh. Wherever they refuse
to receive you, as you leave that
town shake off the very dust from
your feet as a protest against them"
So they departed and visited village
after village, spreading the Good

Now Herod the Tetrarch heard OF
all that was going on; and he was
bewildered because of its being SAID
by some that John had come back to
life, by others that Elijah had
appeared. and by others that some
one of the ancient Prophets had come
back to life. And Herod said,
John I have beheaded; but who Is

related to Jesus all they had done.
Then He took them and withdrew to
a quiet retreat, TO a town called
aware of this, followed Him; and
receiving them kindly He proceeded to
speak to them of the Kingdom of God,
and those who needed to be restored
to health. He cured.
Now when the day began to decline,
the Twelve came to Him and said
Send the people away, that they
may go to the villages and farms
round about and find lodging and a
supply of food: because here we are
in an uninhabited district
you yourselves" He said, must
give them food"
I'VE have nothing" they replied,
but five loaves and couple of fish,
unless indeed we were to go and buy
provisions for all this host of people"
s(For>there were about 5000 adult
menu But He said to His disciples,
MAKE them sit down in parties of
about fifty each"
They did so, making them all,
without exception, sit down Then
He took the five loaveS and the two
fish. and looking up to Heaven He
blessed them and broke them into
portions which He gave to the
disciples to distribute to the people
So they ate and were fully satisfied,
all of them; and what they had
remaining over was gathered up
twelve baskets of fragments.

PRICE ADVANCE

(By the Consolidated Pres.)

Chicago, Sept. Wheat exhib-
tied . better tone. There was .
little broader outside interest on
the buying side. Locals were In
clined to oppose the advance but
whenever they tried to cover they
discovered little wheat for sale.
The strength in the northwest
markets due to unsettled weather
in the Canadian provinces and the
advance in corn tended to make
shorts uneasy. A cable from Dun
dee. Scotland, told Of an order for
5000, 900 bags received there FOR
expectation Of Russian grain. This,
however, had little effect on the
market. The cash wheat market
followed the advance In futures in
the local as we'll as the spring
wheat terminals. Movement OF
wheat continues heavy in the
northwest but arrivals at winter
wheat markets continue moderate.
Export demand for wheat is fairly
good, largely for Manitoba and
100000 bushels was reported
worked by a local house.
Corn showed strength. There
was buying by commission houses
early following by short coverings.
Realizing sales slowed up the adj
vance. There was letup in the
heat wave in the more northerly
sections of the belt but the plains
states continued to suffer from
excessive heat and drought. De-
', mand for cash corn was good.
In oats, the feature was the COW
ering by September shorts. This
lent strength to the entire market
Cash demand was slow.
Higher hogs and grain induced

the conclusion that sabotage on the
railroads had to cease and that the
injunction process would stop it.
The reports received since the in
junction was issued-namely, a
quieting down of the situation gen.
erally-are pointed to as justinca-
ton of the step taken. the gov
eminent wants coal moved-it could
not permit interference. 1t will
now insist on performance by the
railroads. The injunctions are ex-
pected to prevent striking shopmen
from preventing willing workers
from repairing railroad equipment.
If with the protection Of the courts,
workers cannot be secured and
equipment continues bad, the next
step will be restraining orders
against the railways and if they
find they cannot operate trains be-
cause of the governments injunc-
ton against the use of defective
equipment, seizure Of the coal car
rying roads is contemplated.
That's the situation as rumors of
/ peace talk fill the air. Traced to
their point OF origin, it is found
that numerous adjustments be-
| tween individual roads and strik-
ing shipment are being negotiated
Whether these adjustments will be
sufficient to give the country ade-
Quate transportation for its fuel
nobody in the government knows
but the inclination is to believe
that the Idle hards" in the railway
executive group will not permit q
settlement until they have forced
their victory clear to the hilt.

The volume of trading, however,

The raw silk market continued

New York, Sept. THE railway
list took the lead in the bond mar
ket today. High grade mortgages

lative members of the group were
generally stronger. The feature in
railway bonds was the upturn N

These are convertible at any time
before maturity into common stock
of the Norfolk and Western rail
way, at par. Their rise, coincident
with the advance in the common
stock was based on the assumption
tht the road might easily pay an
extra dividend again and also IN
the theory that the way is now
open for the segregation of Nor
