INTRODUCTION. The Sc-rlptuie assigned by
the lesson lominlltco is not sntnclont to prrsent
the suhjcit In Its proper light. Wo have tlnre
foic added a fev; Verses. The word parable lller
al'y aiguilles, to put one thing before or lies no
another. This mode ol teaching was held In blgli
fiver umong the ancients, because It was a form
of lllustiatlon that exrltccl thought, awakened
pleasui.ib'o emotion, and helped tha memory.
It was alike agrocahlc and profitable to tlia
liMiiied and unlearned. There Is a harmony be
tween the natmal and the spiritual worlds, the
fuiuirr being a witness to the luttcr. All loicis
of tiuth toadlly rccognle theo haimonies and
the tone of aigutnenls derived therefrom. To
them tho things on earth arc copies of things In
heaven. Clnlst moved In the midst of what
seemed a wornout woild, but He maelc It tell out
the sccnets of man's being, lie made It ansarcr
with strange and marvelous correspondence to
another invisible woild, to help to the birth
great thoughts of the heart, long struggling to be
born. The pirablc9 of Jesus display Ills ac
quaintance with the sensuous and the- super
sensuous realm and enable men to pass moio
readily from one to the other.
SOWING. In Ills tint parable (veiscs 1-2.1)
Jesus had made His teaching turn upon the char
acter of the noil. A man had gone forth with
good seed, but the product sarled with the liar.
lest, according to the ground upon which it fell.
In the paiablc befoie us lie presents tho same
man faithfully desposltlng good seed, picsumably
In good soil. His work was well done, and be
repaired to Ids heme to lest, ejecting that in
due course of time he would reap (verse 21).
Hut when the night came on, while he slum
bered, his enemy tame stealthily Into tho field.
Having sown tales in the same ground where the
wheat had been cast he went away (veisc 25).
The act was wholly unknown. It was clone out of
pure mischief. There could be no benefit or pleas
ure to Win who did It, except tho plensuie de
lived from the reflection that an iniurv bad
been done. It is a strange condition of human
niturc when a man takes delight in annojing an
other. The spirit is evil in the extreme.
GROWING Roth the wheat and Hie tines ger
inlnated. being Influenced by the same moisture
and. the same sunlight and nurtured in the same
soil (verse 2(1). IVr a considerable time no one
tculd have distinguished the one from the other.
Lven the pucliccd eje of the farmer was de
ceived. Looking over the field lie must have
thought that the giain was unusually thick,
thrlftv nnd promising, and he miy have con
gralulated himself on the nbunilint jield. Put
allenvliile, lien the- grain beads out, the tares
are known Hateful anil noiious w reels they
were. Volney, writing of the darnel, whHi
probably our Saviour had In mind, sa.-s he experi
enced ill effects from eating Its cU (I Travl.
IhOtU). The inmates of the Sheffield woikhouse
were attacked some jean ago with serious sjnip
toms, supposed to be pioduecd by their oat
meal having been ndultentcd with lodium, which
is very much the sime as tho c'arnel of trabli.
CKng. Cicl). It was, therefore, a cry great ells
appointment to the owner of the field to ells
cover this weed umong his giain, nnd bis serv
ants expressed their surprise, knowing tint good
seed had been cast into the ground xene 37).
PROPOSING. The explanation was not far to
seek. The quantity ami rxtent of this ugly
growth negatived the snposltlon of an accident.
The linu'cholder, then fore, Intel red that an runny
bad clone the mischief. S'omc evil intelligence
He, back of every well planned wrong, Hut
what shall be clone? Is there any icmedyf It
was piouused that the tuns should be gathcrcel
(verse IS), a method generally followed when the
number of wccels Is les. Thomson in his "Lend
and Hook" say that women and chlldien en
gage In that work In the Orlone, as in this
country they pull weeds In Hie garden. Hut the
nun In the parable saw that this was Imprac
ticable. The tares were so numeiniis; thev gicw
In such close relation v.ltli the wheat, that to
pull up ene would destroy the other, "Let both
grow together." Two crops in the same field,
tli one valuable, the oilier pernicious, the' latter
spared for the sake of the other. This was the
wisest policy under the circumstances.
IIARVKSTING. The t'me will come, however,
when the wheat and the laics will be separated,
They grow together, but for distinctly opposite
purposes, When the harvest Is gatlieied the foi
mcr is alone valuable and is sloied carefully In
barns for ue (Matt, illil ). That wheat may be
converted into Hour, and of tint bread may be
made tor the support of mankind. See what mul
titudes live upon the milllcns of bushels of grain
raised in tho western stales of this country. It
was for the wheit that the farmer sowed his held.
Hut the tares arc useless, and woisc than woilfi
less. They are an Injury as well as an incum.
liiance. They must, therefore, be burned (verse
30). So the farmer instructed his servants, who

INQFIHINC. What does all this mean? It was
evident that Jesus would not relate an incident
like this merely to make known what might
occur many times In the history of Palestine. He
intended to teach, rather than to gossip," His
words were always so serious that all who heaid
know that they carried some important lesson,
lhc disciples most ol all knew this buty they
did not immediately ask Him to explain. Not un
til Jesus had sent the multitude .tvvuy, and Hu
hid gone with Ills followers Into the house, did
lliey approach Itfm (verse 3(5). There xvas much
xvisdom and dellcncy in their method, They
rlshtly assumed that He did not propose to un
fold mysteries in the presence of men who cared
for them (Matt. xi:2.'.i. They understood that
piivate intimacy and personal contact, as well as
lesultant affection between the teacher and the
pupil, are needeel in order to prepare for the re
ception of the higher truths (Psalm xr:ll). The
little group gathered 111 the home of Peter, re
quested, "Declare unto tin," xvith the emphasis
on the pronoun. An eager, select, retired class
of pupils may learn.
I'APL IN1NG. It must have been with much
satisfaction (John xvi:12) that the Great Teacher
explained Ills parable (verse 37-40), 'lhe sower
and the enemy represented the son of nun and
the devil, two persons, the latter as truly as the
Conner having a real existence, the one benov
olent,, the other malicious. The field was the
world which belonged to Christ (Col. 1:10) In
which Ho bad deposited the seed ot righteousness,
the truth spoken by lllm (l.uko xilltll) whl'h

APPLYING. Tie terminology having been thin
made plain Jesus proccdeel to apply llts teaching
(veies 41-4.1). He showed that the present mixed
condition of affairs In this woild, tho mingling
of the righteous snel the wicked, will be brought
to an end. A elef.nlto time has been fixed, un
known to me (Matt. xxlvsSC) nt j led the end cf
the world, frequently mentioned in the Scripture.
It will lie ushered In by a phenomena of a start

a better era, a better world, "The righteous shall

CONCLl'SION'. Our lesson suggests some dim-
cult questions. Whence came the evil that is in
the world? Why is this evil pcimltted to re
main? How long will It continue? These and
other inquiries of like Import havo engaged the
minds ot the thoughtful in all nges and lands.
Many xolumes have been written In the attempt
to answer, but nothing satisfactory has thus far
appeared, and men are left to speculate and won
der. Tbeie is aa much mystery heie as In the
realm o( physical science probably no mere. Rut
the teaching of Jesus sheds light on the subject,
nnd we do well to remember what Ile has said.
The evil is hero through the work of a malignant
spirit. It remains only by permission Cor tho
sake oC the good. Some day, in the time cf In
finite wisdom, and by Divine fiat and power, it
will be east out. A bright and glorious morn

(Isa. xl:S). When they who live the Lord shall

NEW MARVEL IN SURGERY
Tumor Jlcmoved from Inside the
Spinnl Cord's Sheath, the "First
Cnso of tho Kind on Record.
From the N'cw York Sun of May 3.
An entirely new operation, as the
suigeons xvho participated In It be
lieve, xvns performed nt St, Luke's
Hospital on Tuesday on Ilachc Mc
Uvers Schmidt, a yountr broker. A
tumor was removed from Inside the
sheath of tho spinal cord. To get at tho
tumor It was necessary to cut Into six
vertebrae. Mr. Schmidt was kept un
der anaesthetics for more than thrca
hours. The operation xvas successfully
performed, and theie Is hope for Mr.
Schmidt's ultimate recovery. The op
eration xvas performed by Dr. Robert
Abbe, actinfr in consultation with Dr.
Chailes I.. Dana, and .E. V. Fowler,
Mr. Schmidt's family physician.
About sixteen months ago Mr.
Schmidt slipped on a rug and fell,
striking the back of his head with some
violence. Not long after that accident
he fell from a bicycle and the back of
his head was again struck violently.
He xvas unconscious for some time af
ter the fall from the bicycle. Just how
much these two falls had to do with his
subsequent illness none of tho phy
sicians concerned xvith the case Is able
or xvllllng to say. The guess of one of
them, at least. Is, however, that the
connection between the accidents and
the subsequent illness was direct and
unmistakable.
MISTAKEN FOR RHEUMATISM.
Dr. Fowler xvas not in tills country
xvlien Mr. Schmidt met xvith tho ac
cletents. The physician who xvas called
to attend the young man at the home
of the Schmidts, G4 East Seventy-Ilfth
stieet, thought that the trouble xas
rheumatism and shaped his treatment
accordingly. The surgeon who came
into tho case later say that the dlag-J
nosls of rheumatism xvas perfectly
leasonable, and they do not censure
the man who made it. The symptoms
did not yield to the treatment tor
ihcumatisni. There xvas considerable
lameness about the patient's legs and
back. Dr. Charles Iv. Dana xvas called
Into the case at about this stage of I.
He said that he could not see that there
was any rheumatism, but that ho xvas
quite sure that there xvti3 an Inllam
niatlon of the sheath of the spinal
cord among tho upper vertebrae. Dr.
Danu's view of the case xvas so much
more serious than that of the other
physicians who had been consulted that

Dr. Dan.) dropped out of the case
temporarily. A number of lermaii
specialists xvero engaged, buttheir ef

been the xvork ot the first physician
xvho had been summoned.
Dr. Fowler returned from Europe.
Ills examination of tho patient led him
to substantially the same conclusion
that had been i cached by elDr. Dana.
Before he had time to estnbllsh his

it man from Philadelphia saw Mr.
Schmidt and expressed tho opinion
that theie xvas nothing tho matter with
him further than "an impeded circu

enough for him to re-establish tho
young man's circulation. Dr. Fowler
ratlred. Tho family took the young
man to Philadelphia to bo under tins

was to icstorc the youiift man to health

moment of the time. Tho Schmidts
summoned Dr. Fowler again and told
lilm that they left the case entirely
in his hands and authorized him to
call In consultation whoever he might
desire.
Dr. Fowler sent for Dr. Abbe becaupe
of his experience in the Duryea case
and one or txvo similar cases, xvhlch
had called for tho closest possible study
of the vertebrae. Dr. Dana xvas asked
to make tho location for tho opeiatlon.
Mr. Schmidt's family xx-as told that
the surgeons in asking permission to
perfoim the operation made no prom
ises whatever. They simply felt that
there xvas hope for bettering tho pa
tient's condition without an operation.
Tlley desired the family to understand
fully that the patient might and very
likely would die on the operating table;
and furthermore that ex'en if ho sur
vived tho operation, it might turn out
that nothing had been accomplished by
It. Mr. Schmidt himself was very anx
ious to havo the operation go on as soon
as possible.
Tho location of the Inflammation as
established by Dr. Dana, xvas found to
bo correct to lthln half an inch a
either end of the tumor. The tumor
xx as found to extend through tho three
lower cervical vertebrae, and tho three
upper dorsal vertebrae. It xvas re
moved. It will be Impossible for the
physicians to tell for some time
whether tho spinal cord has been too
much lnjuted by tho tumor for recov
ery, but at any rate there has been a
great lessening of tho pain xvhlch the
young man has suffered and there has
been some relaxation of tho conti acted
muscles.
Dr. Abbe's operation on Walter
Duryea attracted xvldc attention. Mr.
Duryea. diving in shalloxv xvater.struclc
his head xvith such force on tho bottom
that his neck xvas broken. Dr. Abbe
removed the splintered vertebrae, and
so adjusted the spinal column that the
patient Is thought to bu well on the
xx ay to complete recovery. One ot tho
phvsician3 connected xvith tho case
said last night that if the Schmidt op
eiatlon resulted in the tveovery of the
patl?nt that it xvould be as remarkable
an operation as was tho lemoval of the
