STUDIES IN
THE PARABLES
Thu subject treated by Rev. Cart r
in his sermon last evening was
ies in the Parables of Jesus.” The
parables mentioned were concerning
the lost coin, the lost sheep and the
lost hoy, or the prodical son. It *s
claimed by one who was born and
grew to young manhood in Syria, that
teaching in parables is a distinct
Oriental characteristic; that a par
able is a word picture whose purpose
is not to construct a definition or to
establish a doctrine, but to convey an
impression; that parabolic speech is
dear to the Oriental heart, is poetical,
mystical, sociable. The same Syrian
writer states that he has often heM
the little hand lamp while his. mother
has searched ever nook and corner of
the dark room for the coin that chanc
ed to be lost. The straw mats, rush
ions, and sheepskins which cover tie*
floor are turned over, and the earthen
floor swept.
“The impression sought to be con
veyed.” said Rev. Carter, “is infinite
value which the Father places upon
the hitman soul. The writer of the
eiighth psalm says: When I consider
thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars, which thou
has ordained; what is man, that thou
art mindful of him? The content
clearly shows that God considers man
not as insignificant, for the writer of
the psalm says: Thou has made h»»n
hut little lower then God, or th<* A >
gels.
“Each of the parables mentioned
convey the same thought, and show
that when a man who is not fulfilling
the mission for which he was sent in
to the world, has been drawn or st :•>
ed from the right course, and has been
found and set on the right way again,
there is great rejoicing, not only
among his friends upon earth, but ev
en among the angels of heaven.
“The question for each of us to ask
ourselves is, Am I measuring up to
the standard of the high calling
before man, the greatest of God’s
creatures here upon earth?”
