All doctors know the value of
the laxative whose dose can be
measured, and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too. is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have now learned that a properly
prepared liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement without dis
comfort at the time, or after. Or.

mothers and babies, and his re-

Weekly Sunday School Lesson Parables of the Kingdom

The advantage of teaching by parables is that those who listen are more likely to retain what they hear, and they always are looking for some deeper and fuller meaning than they have appre- kended at first.
 We study parable or a story told to express or illustrate truth, to discover some meaning that we had not grasped at first, whereas some truth expressed in a plain and matter of fact statement would be taken more likely for it's matter of f-factness, without concern about it's deeper meanings and im- plications.
 We have seen the statement made that the parables of Jesus were understood by everybody. That is not true. Jesus himself complained that his hearers did not grasp his meaning. and he re- proached even the disciples with being dull of hearing. Neverthe- less, the truth probably sank in more deeply and was more ca pable of being unedrstood because of the simple story form in which Jesus presented it.
 Here, in our lesson, we have six parables, all intended to illustrate the nature of the Kingdom of God, it's growth among men and it's is- sues. The first parable is that Of the grain of mustard seed, illus trating how the kingdom of heaven grows from small beginnings, and reminding us that truth and good ness are not to be judged in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality and life.
 Somewhat the same truth is il- 1ustratcd in the parable of the leaven-a small lump that works slowly and effectually in the many measures of meal until the whole is leavencd.
 The parable of the treasure hid- den in the field represents, rather, the attitude of the individual to- ward the kingdom and the means of his entrance into it: and the parable of the merchant seeking goodly pearls has the same em- phasis upon the fact that only those wko are willing to give everything for the possession of lIlc hlHSuOli iShi'y ~heSA !H|N ~S and find it's fullness.
 The parable of the net c2st into the sea illustrates the progress of the kingdom in the world and the sitting process that it inevitably occasions as it challenges men for good or for evil. And, finally, the iikening of the disciple of the kingdom of heaven to a household CT emphasizes the richness of the treasures of the kingdom from which the disciple brings forth things new and old.
 Here, in twelve verses, we have 8 marvelously rich and suggestive portrayal of the Kingdom Nothing less than lifetime suffice to con sider such teaching and %press it in actual living.
