disciples."—John IC.s.
The Figure « f the \ Me.- No object
was more familiar to the e \ t > of our
Saviour <»r Hi- disciples than were the
great spreading gru pe vines with their
immense cluster* of luscious fruit
hanging in purple glory uiuidst
the sheltering green of the vines’
foliage. The landscape of Palestine
was fringed with the fruitful plants.
Probably, many times after the work
of the day was over in the little car
penter shop at Nazareth. Jesus sat
under the cool retreat of the grape ar
bor an<l. with the Old Test a ment b<oks
in Ills hand, had become familiar w ith
the metaphor of the prophets. To
dwell under the vine and tig tree was
emblematic of domestic happiness and
peace; the rebellious people of Israel
were compared *o “wild grapes.” “an
empty vine.” “the degenerate plant
of a strange vine.” and in Isaiah’s par
able of the vineyard He saw a picture
of Israel and of (loti’s patient dealing
with them. With what interest lie
tiiu-1 have searched out each separate
reference as the light hr« ke in upon
His soul of the true meaning of every
symbol and parable. Is it any won
der that during 11 is miuist ry He should
make frequent use <>f the *v in hoi of the
vineyard and the vine to illustrate His
teachings? The most beautiful and
most profound of all His utterances
is the last final word with llis disci
ples before His crucifixion.
The passover supper had been eaten
and the new supper instituted which
was to commemorate llis sacrifice for
them. Ihe quiet sadness at 1 solemn
impressiveness of the evening gat her
irg in the upper room linger with
them as they go out into t he coolness
of the night and pass on their wav to
ihe garden «*f fletliseinane. for it i»
possible that the last portionof.b u*-'
talk with llis disciples was spoken
while on their wav t• • the garden, if
they were not actually within its bor
ders, with the suggestive grape vines
on every hand, outlining their leafv
foliage against the darker background
of the night. There was the strong
trunk of the vine, sending its spread
ing roots far down into the rook \ ert \
ices of the soil to draw nourishment
and life for the branches reaching out
from the parent stem in every direc
tion. There were the green verdure
of the leaf, and the clustering grapes
beneath, ripening and swelling under
the dews of the evening and the warm
ing rays of the son during the day.
“You see that splendid vine over
yonder. We have passed it and ad
mired it many many times fluring
the years we have been togetl er. Do
you remember that hot flay after the
weary travel when we rested here and
refreshed ourselves with the luscious
fruit? Well, what that great, strong
vine is to the branches and the fruit.
I am to you in the spiritual life You
remember as vve sat under the shade
of t hat olive tree there, w e w atchcd the
fairhfiM husbandman going over the
^ vine and caring for it. Hen the prun
ing knife was used, there the destroy
ing growth winch had attacked the
branch was removed and the branch
purged; a little farther along a dead
branch was still clinging to the vine
Tt had failed to put forth leaf and
fruit, with the return of the season
because its channels w c re choked a ml
the life-giving nourishment, of 1 he v ine
could not fb-w through it. 'This dead
branch the husbandman quickly sev
ered from the vine and cast it from
him. All the thought and hone •.f tl ..

vine. Fruit was what lie was after,

In the presence of such ltivi-h giving

41)t ifrbon "f Fruit bearing? ".My Fa*
' ther is the Husbandman.” He bat.
placed you in this world for a purpose,
the bearing of fruit. He has a right
to exjHCt fruit. And as the husband
man cuts out and easts away the tin
fruitful branches, so will Hod do with
you. O soul! if you fail to bear fruit
to 11 is honor and glory. No matfer
1 ow beautiful a leaf nud foliage you
arc growing in your life, if the fruit
is lacking you have missed the su
preme purpose of Hod in you. and are
cast out to be burned as a useless and
dry branch. With what impatience
would you go ye or after year to the
fruit tree in your orchard that failed
to bear the fruit which you have a
right to expect, and for which the
tree was given room in your garden!
At Inst the « vein mation would burst
from your lips: "Cut it down, for
why cumbcreth it the ground?” Ami
can you. <> soul! knowing that this
is so. he inditTert nt to your barreuless
life? Can yon right fully demand more
of your fruit tree than Hod has a right
to demand of you? Can your belly be
satisfied with the good things which
Nature gi\ts in eloquent tcsliimmy of
the necessity <*f I'ruit Bearing, and
your soul not recognize its obligation
to Hod to bear fruit in its turn?
Conditions of Fruit Bearing. You
arc to bear fruit, but not the fruit
which is grown apart from the Vim
in the life of the unregenerate man.
"As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine; n«>
more can ye. except ye abide in Me."
Here is the secret of Fruit Bearing:
the kind of Fruit Bearing which is able
to satisfy Hod. Apart from the True
\ ine you may he able to grow fruits
of character and life which will de
! ceive t he w orld. but you cannot decen e
Hod. and the false fruit will be cast
, "'it with the severed branch which
1 trave it birth and both will be burned.
If yon would bear fruit you must
I abide in the Vine.
I.lit how to become part of the Yin>
is of first importance. No one bv Na
ture is part of the True Vine, but we
may be grafted therein. The proees.
is realized at conversion. Faith in
Jesus ( lirist as the only begotten Son
of Hod and the Saviour of the world
brings ns into the vital relationship
to the True Vine which enables in
to bear fruit to the satisfying, or. ns
our text puts it. to the glorifying, of
Hod. The figure of the vine and the
branch shows how close and vital is
t he relat ionship which is sustained be
tween ( lirist and those who have been
tleansed in His precious blood and
have been horn new creatures in Him.
In fact, as NIr. Moody used to sav ;
“Hod has made no provision in the
Hible for isolation. Scripture expres
sions all show a contrary state of
things: We are ‘branches* in the vine,
‘members’ in the body, ‘stones’ in the
temple, ‘brothers and sisters’ in the
family, hearing a close relat ion to each
other. We have first to look up and
realize our relation to (Jod; and then
to learn the various relationships we
have to our neigh hors. All are in their
different niches, tilling the place Hod
has given them; and we must desire,
not only to serve Hod, but by love to
serve one another.”
The condition of vital importance to
Fruit Hearing is abiding in the Vine
The bearing of fruit follows as a mos:
inevitable result. If the life of ( lirist.
the Vine, is flowing through us. the
branches, it will be as natural for us to
bear fruit as for the rain to fall from
the overshadowing cloud upon the
earth. As the sap responds to the
wooing of springtime, and comes
coursing through the channels and
din ts of the parent trunk and send
the throb of awakening life to the
outermost branches, so the life of
Christ, the True Vine, flows to the
branches which abide in Him. and they
feel t he elect rie thrill of t hat life which
is unending. The sap in the natural
vine serves a three fold purpose, even
as does the life of Jesiis ( lirist as it
flows through the believer: First, it
keeps the branch in a healthy condi
tion; second, it helps it to grow, and
third, it compels Fruit Hearing.
A 'i mi I thy h ranch must he fed by
t!ie lif«* of the vine. |f anything oc
<nrs to disturb the normal condition
<«f the vine, and restrict the flow of
sap to the branch, an enfeebled con
diiion ensues, growth is stopped,
and Fruit Hearing made impossible.
Make a ligature around the branch
of a v.ne. cutting otT a part or the
life-giving, growth-feeding sap. and
c,. how long your branch will rc
main healthy. The fresh green of
the foliage will disappear, the hark
will drv and shrivel, and it will take
but a glance t * * see that the branch
is in an unhealthy and dying condi
tion. Is there something pressing
upon your life which is cutting otT
from you tin flow of the vital life of
< hri-i * Are the “cares of tlii- world
and tie* deceit full ess of riche-,” the
de-ire tor -e|fi-h pleasure, the yield
Ing to ‘lie fie hly appetite, and lusts,
the cherishing of -orne hidden -in,
» liokiii**’ the channel of your life, and
preventing the ( hrisf life reaching
van? Kaeh succeeding day which
passe while such a condition e\i- -
brings more deadne-s Jo the Itrut h.
and make- it harder to recover a
healthy stat< again. The branch to
I l»e healthy must have unrestricted
flow of sap from the vine; and you,
dear dhrislian friend, nr.i-t have no
> Uiet tires in your life which would
cut olT the life-giving pre.-ence of
•k‘ " t r, t if \ o*i de ire to remain
n a In lit h > spiritual condition.
Hut u - i c In althy condition of the
branch i- not the ultimate aim of
the vine In sending to it the life-giv
ing sap. Kvery pulsation of the flow
ing sap*> ing a song of grow t h. vvhi< h
enlarges ihc branch's pos-ihilitles for
Fruit Hearing. How beautiful it i
ycar ;.y year to note the enlarging
and farther reaching branch of the
vine. !t carries its silent message of
purpo e and progress. The hushnt d
tuan justly complains if it is other
wise. and marks the tmdcveloping
branch for the brush heap and the
consuming fire.
But growth does not mark the ulti
mate purpose of the vine in the
branch. Kverv event, every develop
! meat ;n the life of that branch has
l>een eagerly bending towards the
, one grand purpose of Fruit Bearing.
J If the swaying branch could speak
what a glad song of hope it would
sing of tlie coming days of fruitage,
which would be its glory. With the
1 returning life in the spring we would
hear it murmuring softly to itself, as
it felt tlie v itali/ing sap, svv elling in bud
and leaf, of the developing of its beau
tiful dress of green and its fragrant
blossom. Hut it would not rest con
tent there. As the leaf spread out in
its sheltering foliage and the blossom
unfolded to the warmth of the sunand
the cool refreshing of the soft falling
rain, again the ambitious branch
would be heard singing its song of
hope of the days just ahead when the
blossom would give plAce to tlvc form
ing fruit, and the leaf would shelter
from the heat and storm. Hut not even
then would the branch rest content.
l»nt it would cagerlv draw on the vine
for more life, more nourishment, so
that the swelling fruit might be
brought to perfection. And not until
the hi nom of the ripened fruit marked
it in beauty as ready for the harvest
would the branch be willing to rest in
its mission; not until then would it be
; heard to rejoice in the full conscious
ness ,,f ;i dt.st iny w rouglit out. of a pur
pose in life fultilled. So must it be with
the branches in ( hri*t. Abiding in the
\ ine. not that thev tnaj have life on 1} ,
but that they may grow and develop.
\biding in the Vine, not that thev may
grow and develop only, but that their
growth and development may be fol
lowed b.\ Fruit Hearing.
The Fruit Hearing 1*< riod. This is
marked by the blossom, the stage of
dev elpotnent and the ripened fruit.
It is not enough that the branch deek
herself with blossoms. If the bios
s<> ms ns t hey fade a ml drop away do n>t
leave behind them the forming fruit,
tow hat purpose w as t heir grow th and
unfolding. 1 hey have belied t h« ir pro
fession and have brought reproach
ttpon the nourishing vine. \re there
many fair Mohsoms *■ f promise spring
ing f t*om y on as y on dra w life a nd nour
ishment front the Vine? 1 ><i not let your
h« art rest content with the thought of
their beauty and fragrance, Kentom
bc i that they must quickly’giv e place to
th* forming fruit, or they abide alone
and a bnrrenlcss branch, stripped of
its lil oks out less beaut y. t> way s dcsola t e
v from the disappointed vine. Many
reach the blossoming stage, but the
frost of indifference and carelessness
nips the tender blossoms of promise,
and destroys the possibility of
fruit; or the mildew of worldly ambi
tions and pursuits blights the blossom
and smothers the fruit that might oth
erwise have been grown; or the vio
lent winds of adversity, or the hail
storms of persecution may have come
,j»t -1 at the critical blossom period and
forever blasted the hope of fruitage
and harvest. Oh, how many things
come to destroy the blossoms before
the fruit is formed. What, is it in
your lif** that is blighting your
blossoms and cutting * * tT the fruit
forming period?
And with the passing of the blos
soms eornes the fruit developing
stage. If the life of the vine is al
lowed to feed the branch, how
quickly the fruit responds and devel
ops day by day. Hut again, so many
blighting conditions arise to inter
fere with this important period in
Fruit Hearing that many who pas#
tli«* blossom stag** and see the form
ing fruit fail to bring it to full and
luscious ripeness. Oh, what a re
sponsibility! Not * fiougli to blos
som for Christ, not enough to form
fruit for Christ. Our responsibility
docs not end until th** harvest comes
and th** full ripened fruit is placed in
t he Master's hand.
The Pruning. And then the hus
bandman purgeth and pruneth the
branch that it may tirin'.' forth more
fruit; for it is the branch that has
shown fruit-bearing possibilities that
is pruned. The branch that bears
only promising blossoms is cut off
and cast away. The branch that
I* Tops hi preen mm our grape- is
little le tter. Imt is cut of! and cast
into the fire. If is the branch which
brings the little fruit to perfection
which i- lovingly pruned that it may
bring forth more fruit. The pruned
branches in the springtime arc riot
attractive. It is not pleasant to he
cut; to be seemingly deprived of
growth in this direction arid that,
but as the summer days lengthen
into the autumn and we -cp the
larger clusters of more luscious
grape on the pruned branches we
realize the wi dom of it all, and re
joice in the husbandman's skill and
faithfulness. So it N in the f hri finn
life. "No cha-fcnirig for the pres
ent 1 eemeth to he joyous, but griev
ous; neverthele- ■ afterward it ybdd
rtb th« peaceable fruit of righteous*
rit unto •lo rn which are cxerci ed
thereby." The pruning is for the
purpose of more Fruit Rearing "He
th.it a bideth in Me, and I in him. the
-a me bring'-fh forth much fruit."
Mr. Meyer ays;
"We are in ( hri>t. n< t Iucihsp we
Iiohl Him, hut because lie holds us;
therefore we rim f expect the Fa
ther'- p'- itii g N * do not dread the
knife, it i If is Word, wielded bv a

Word, uc shall e-c-ipe tire iron one
of sorrow."
"\nd lierein i- My Fatla r glori

of i:! tihrify lag the tio<| of Hrait-n
through Fruit Rearing in ( hrbt .Je*us.
Well may the angels of Heaven envy
the exalted privilege of Hod's chil
dren here in the world, for "in the
ages to come" we are "to show the
exceeding riches of Mis grace in His
kindness toward us through ( hrist
Jesus." How? Ry Fruit Rearing,
"For herein is My Father glorified,
that ye hear much fruit; no shall
ye he My disciples."
