Is like the Lord's Kingdom
For quickly both spreads

Go to this site to read interesting facts about the mustard seed!
“The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
“Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.”
The Restored Church Is Branching Forth
“This figure [the mustard seed] is given to represent the Church as it shall come forth in the last days. …
“Let us take the Book of Mormon … ; let us behold it coming forth out of the ground, which is indeed accounted the least of all seeds, but behold it branching forth, yea, even towering with lofty branches and God-like majesty, until it, like the mustard seed, becomes the greatest of all herbs. And it is truth, … and God is sending down His powers, gifts, and angels to lodge in the branches thereof.”
The Prophet Joseph Smith, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2007), 301.
