6th Day THE CLEANSING EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE CLEANSETH IT, THAT IT MAY BEAR MORE FRUIT.— Ver. U. There are two remarkable things about the vine. There is not a plant of which the fruit has so much spirit in it, of which spirit can be so abundantly distilled as the vine. And there is not a plant which so soon runs into wild wood, that hinders its fruit, and therefore needs the most merciless pruning. I look out of my window here on large vineyards: the chief care You of the vine-dresser is the pruning. may have a trellis vine rooting so deep in good soil, that it needs neither digging, nor manuring, nor watering 3G

And so our Lord tells us, here at the very outset of the parable, that the one work the Father does to the branch that bears fruit is : He cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. Consider a moment what this pruning or cleansing is. It is not the removal of weeds or thorns, or anything from without that may hinder the growth. No ; it is the cutting off of the long shoots of the previous year, the removal of something that comes from within, that has been produced by the life of the vine itself. It is the removal of something that is a proof of the vigor of its life ; the more vigorous the growth has been, the greater the need of the pruning. It is the honest, healthy wood of the vine that has to be cut away. And why ? Because it would consume
