Excerpt from Gospel Workers: Or, a Plan for Doing Good, for Everybody The Son of God, while on earth in our na ture, taught the most important truths by par ables, always using something with which his hearers were well acquainted. Palestine was a land of vineyards, and thousands earned their daily bread by laboring in them. Moun tain-sides were generally chosen as the place 'to locate the vineyard, and as most of the mountains were stony, it required much labor to prepare the ground and plant the vines and prune them. Some one was appointed to oversee the work, and pay the laborers for their services. The pay was in proportion to the work done. As a matter of justice, those who loitered away their time in idle ness received little or nothing when night came. Christ introduced this parable of the vineyard, and the labor in cultivating it, to show how mcral evil was to be removed from this sin-cursed world.
