"For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
"Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful grain to store
In His garner evermore."

THE PARABLE OF THE LEAVEN.[ToC]
Christ said that the kingdom of heaven could be likened unto leaven (or yeast), which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
