j I The True Vine He could enter death and the grave. Ho could trust God to raise Him up. All' that Christ is and has, He has, not in Himself, but from the Father. My Father is the Husbandman. That is as blessedly true for us as for Christ. Christ is about to teach His disciples about their being Branches. Before He ever uses the word, or speaks at all of abiding in Him or bearing fruit, He turns their eyes heavenward to the Father watching over them, and working all in them. At the very root of all Christian life lies the thought that God is to do all, that our one work is to give and leave ourselves in His hands, in the confession of utter helplessness and dependence, in the assured confidence that He gives all we need.

Our Father is our Husbandman, the Surety for our growth and fruit. Blessed Father ! we are Thy husbandry. Oh ! ;hat Thou mayest have honor of the work of Thy lands. O my Father ! I desire to open my leart to the joy of this wondrous truth : My 19
