He then spreads a. three-inch layer of the rice in a wooden tub and places about 100 eggs thereon ; another layer of rice, this second and subsequent, layers being but two inchés in thickness, is spread over the eggs.

The point of the parable for us is the fact of common experience which it emphasizes. that he who has once experienced the goodness and mercy of God in the forgiveness of sin and thereafter permits the old habits to again take possession of his life is sure to sink steadily to lower and lower levels. The hui- guaze throughout is figurative and the details of the parable must not be forced in their application. 33:26.

OUR REMNANT RELIGION Largely Made Up of the Scraps of T ime, Shreds of Energy and Odds and Ends of Devotion It is a striking portmyal which Isaiah gives us, in the pause from which our text is taken, of the an- cient process of idoluwskintr. He pictures a. man going out into the forest and mixing down a great ce- dar and bringing the fallen tree to his home. Mom, of the wood is speedily chopped up and used in the fire. but a small residue is put aside, to be fashioned into an idol and set up and worshipped. The man "burned! a part, in the fire," says the prophet: "with a part he caved: Beals, he roamteth mm1_qnd is "vtitsfied; yea. he warmth him- self and saith, Aha, I am wsrm. And the remnant thereof he maketh a god, even hie gnwn image." Human Nature Remus use". It is obvious trorh this statement of the prophet that the people of primitive times took religion about as seriously and gave to it about as much of their lives as the poo le of our day. Human nature, and1 not merely hisurry, repeats itself. The deity of the idol-maker was a, rem- mutt god. He was fashioned only inner the tree had vielded all the 1rimbrr that, was desirable for oook- ling food and warming the house--- {and probably, in a. good proportion of cases, cut of wood that would not burn very well, anvhow!
