THE YOUTH OF NAIN.
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain;
and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now
when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold there was a dead
man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow,
and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord
saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And he came and touched the bier, and they that bear him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise. And he
that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him
to his mother.-LUKE vii. 11-15.

He spake also this parable. A certain man had a fig-tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon and found
none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold these
three years I come, seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none;
cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground? And he, answering, said
Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung
it. And if it bear fruit, well; and if not, then after that thou shalt
cut it down.-LUKE xiii. 6-9.
