J'miMe a JteUUou story, true to nature, touching a spiritual truth. The IwMdem of JUuiyh: the aew order ot things which Christ came te establish, ruled by the1 principles ot Heaven. 6Wd . Christians, the children of the Kingdom, so-called because they bring forth good fruit, and are the means of makiug others good. The Gowl .SW -God' children are seed, not more grains of send, for (1) they are living; () they aro the means of increasing the ileciplos; (3) through them the whole work! is to Imj rillwl with the fruit of the Spirit, and the children of the Kingdom. Notk (1) That every Christina should remember that lie is, a Htd sown by the Son of man. He ia not to live alone, a selfish lira, but is to lead many others to be Christians. (3) He is, therefore to be very careful to be yewl K0od,sueh ae bears fruit, and such an bears good fruit. For every seed produces fruit ufler id klml. Imperfectt'hristians tend to multiply Imperfect Christians. Every error or fault of ours in doubly evil; it injures ourselves.and it injures others. InhlejM: the rich U the world, as. H'AW in the right ; perhaps when Christians are careless and ignorance prevails. Ill enemy: tho wicked one, Satan. 7r; a species of graft which looks when growing very much like wheat, but whose seeds are poisonous. The tares are the children of the wicked one, having hi nature and deeds; hyiKK-rite. Sn. Then eipfared the Urn: when the fruit came it was easy to distinguish between the tares aad the wheat, for the grains are very different, though the young luants are alike. Fruit, not proffessions, proves who are good. 90. 1 y rest Hp almttht wA'al . the wheat and the tares at first look so much alike that they would be sure to make many mistakes and injure the harvat. Moreover, the roots of the two were often intertwined. SO. The hanmt is the end of the worki, or rather age, dispensation, which ends at the judgment. lh i fn are the angels. 7'r, re swra them: Are expressos the intensity of the punishment nd that there is no escape. And this for two reasons: (1) This is all they are fit for. It is the just end and right punishment of the wkked. (2.) Punishment is intended to keep wickedness from spreading anil ticatroying a'the good, just a weeds are burned to keep them from multiplying and destroying the good grain. Fire is frequently employed in the Mule as a metaphor for the, punishment of the ungodly (lea. S; !M; 10: 16, 1"; Mai. 4: 1; Matt. : 10; 7: 1; Ilea, : 8; W: 87). The fire U represented, not as something external to the sinner, but aa consisting of his sins and proceeding from himself (Ise. N: 18, If; sail, 12) . The vhat M my tern; the good Into the kingdom of Heaven, where they shall shine forth aa the sun, glorious ami Itappy in themselves, and giving light and life and cheer to all around. Then, when the dark, hindering element is removed, Bhall this element of light come forth te all its full brightness (Col. 8: 4; Rom. 8: 18;. Pro v. 85; 4, ft), A glory shall be revealed in the saints; it shall not merely be brought to them, and added from without, but rather a glory which they before had, but which did not before evidently appear, shall 1 Hirst forth and show itself openly, as did the Lord's hidden glory once in the duys of His gosh, at the moment of His transfiguration. ArrucATiotf. Our Saviour teaches u here: (1) That hypocrites ami deceived per- ; sons must be expected in the church. i That this is the woric or the enemy or i man. They are not the work af Christianity any more than traitors are of patriotism, or counterfeiters are of the proper effect of 'legislating about money. (8) That all hoie of removing them entirely would e in vain. "Because if men should make the separations, weak Christians woukl be counted no Christians, and those who have a grain of grace under a load of imperfections would tu rwMintml rpnrnhates." Mt That anv at tempt to remove them altogetlter woukl in- ' jure real Christianity, by causing excitej mente, discord aad hard feelings, even I among Christians. (5) That He will Himself serate them at the proper time, TWniano doubt that it is the duty of the church to attempt to keep itsck iUre, and to . m ... ...i u..:ruuf nettnW M Cor. Ull L im aj;rwKi mu aHuiunv vn 5:4, 8). He refers to those who so successfully imitate Christians as to innke ltdinlcult or impossible for man to dlstinguwlt them. W Such a work of rooting out with such an unqualified determination is perilous in itself, and often suspicious in the spirit of it. (7) It is better, so long as Christians are Imperfect, that they slwuhl be as leaven in an evil world. Lnseox f a err. -Our master had been teaching the multitudes, who gathered around various truth about the spiritual kingdom which He came to set up in this earth, In our lesson He draws out th truth, that te the kingdom or church of Christ here below, good and evil art mingled. There are genuine Christiaut and counterfeit Christians. The church of Christ is, in this respect, like a heM in which good grain ami evil weeds grow t tke same time. But this will not always be the oase. For when God send bta angels, they will gather all true disci ik into the Urtnti kinmlom of God. All those WlK t have been only professing, and not rem Christians, will be cast into everlasting punishment, where there will be weepiH and gnashing of teeth. rKACTJCAt. RUGOKSTIOXS. 1.
