Whatever it is—let each one of us do what we can to tell others of God's love in giving us a Saviour; and if we do, surely—yes, surely—God will say to us, "Well done, good and faithful servants, enter into the joy of your Lord!"

[XXXIII. Hid in Three Measures of Meal]

One day the Lord Jesus gave a very short Parable to His disciples of only one verse, but He would not have told it to us, if He had not intended us to learn a lesson from it.

I will copy the verse for you, because it is so very short, and then I will explain it afterwards.

THE LEAVEN IN THE MEAL.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

Leaven is what we now call yeast.

In the dictionary, leaven, or yeast, is described as something "which pervades a mass, and changes its nature."

And so we will think of it in that light, and try to draw out from it something which may help us every day.
