“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”  Matt 13:24-26, 30 KJV

“Mortal belief (the material sense of life) and immortal Truth  (the spiritual sense) are the tares and the wheat, which are not united by progress, but separated.”  Mary Baker Eddy
