WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on July 12, 1964.]

Husbandman (John 15:1)

(huz'band-man—u as in up, both a's as in account). In English, its basic meaning is "one that plows and cultivates land; fanner." In the present context Pltummer considers that the reference is to "the Owner of the soil Who tends His Vine and the branches." The Riverside New Testament suggests the translation, "Vine-grower."

Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it (John 15:2)
