Excerpt from A Practical Directory for Young Christian Females: Being a Series of Letters From a Brother to a Younger Sister The Scriptures represent the grace Of God in the heart as a growing principle. It is compared to a mustard-seed, which is the least of all seeds. But, when it springs up, it rises and spreads its branches till it becomes the greatest of all herbs. The beauty and appropriateness Of this figure will not be appreciated unless we take into considera tion 'the luxuriant growth Of plants in Eastern countries. The Jews have a 'fable of a mustard tree whose branches were so extensive as to cover a tent. There are two things that no one would expect to see, in the growth of such a plant: 1. To spring up at once into full maturity, 2. To become stationary in its growth, before it arrives at maturity. If it ceases to grow, it must wither away and die.
