What kind of people today have a dead, selfish, hard religion such as this ruler of the synagogue had," "Ile said therefore, Unto, what is the kingdom of God like, and where- unto shall I liken jt?2-The parable of the mustard seed is found in both the other synoptic Gospels (Matt, 13:31, 32; Mark 4 30, 32). Christ would seem to ask the .question as to what the kingdom of God is like at this point, because many of his hearers probably lad incorrect ideas of what the king- dom of God réally should be. CUTE is like unto-a-grain-of mustad seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and,it grew, and be- "camd a tree; and the birds of the hea- ven lodged in the branches thereof." The grain of mustard seed developing intg a great tree is not the sign of the progress of Christianity, but that of an abnormal growth, so that" there is roont for birds to lodge in the branches. The birds are symbolic of evil things. ) "And agaln he said, Whereunto shan 1 liken the kingdonr of God? It is like unto leaven, "which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was' all leavened." We must not interpret this parable, as many do, as the teaching of Christ that the leaven is -the gospel, the meal ig the world, and that the whole world is ultimately to be converted 39 | of salvation is past. to the gospel. Leaven; when referred to symbolically or typically is always mentioned in the Old Testal in an evil sense (Gen. 19:3; Ex. 12:8, 15-20, 34, 39; 13, 3-7; 23:15, 18; 29:2, "93; 34 18, 25; Lev. 2:4, 5, 11; 6:16, 17; "7:12 13; 8:2, 26; 10:12; 23:6-17; Num. 6: 15, 17, 19; 9:11; 28:17; Deut, 16:3, 4, 8,16; Amos 4:5). The use of the word in the New Testament explains its' symboli¢ meaning. It is malice and wickedness as constrasted with sin- cerity and truth (1 Cor 5:6-8). ~ "And he went on his way through cities and villages , teaching and journeying on unto Jerusalem." The definite. time of this journey is not stated. We are possibly pointed back to 9:51. This is Christ's last journey to Jerusalem, ending in hig death. "And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved?" This quest- jon may have arisen in the mind of the speaker because of the preceding teachings of Christ. More probably, however, it was a superficial inquiry concerning a matter frequently * dis- cussed by. Jews, of that time, Many Christians. today can ask. silly--quest: ions, which, even if the answer were known would not' be of any defiinte profit, as, Whom did Cain marry? the answer to whioh, of course, is that he married his sister, but, when. peo- ple who ask these questions are an- swered, they simply go on to another group and continue to ask the same questions. "And he said unto them," "Buive to enter in by - the narrow door." Christ did not answer the ques. tion of the man at all. It is as if he had said, the number of the saved is no concern of yours. That is a matter for Almighty God. "For many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in and shall not be able." Jesus does not say that there are. many who strive in vain to enter but that there will be many who will' seek in vain to enter, after the, time Tose who con- tinue to strive now succeed, ; to wi Tanya ¢ Cubitt, seeking "0 advance We cause of nudism. in order n title as Queen of nudists, bathes in orange filled tub in,_hotel in New York while trying to convert cameraman into a nature lover.
