Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Need of Revising Morals and Laws: A Lecture
Royal, Savoy, presided, and, after a brief address, introduced Lady Cook to the audience.
Lady cook, who was received with loud applause, began by quoting the words Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? And if any man defile the temple of God him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Lady Cook continued When our blessed Lord spoke to His disciples and to the multitude He spoke in parables. When He told them the parable of the sowing of the seed, He said Some fell by the wayside; some fell on stony ground and then withered away some fell among thorns and thistles and was choked, while some fell on good ground and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Then He gave unto His disciples another parable, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man which sowed seed in his field, but while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat. And when the multitude had gone away, His disciples said to Him, Master, tell us what you mean by the parable of the tares and the wheat.' He answered, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world.
The good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one.'
