British And U. S.
Farmers Compared
A good harvest of comments
was reaped recently by British
newspaper men who interviewed
three American .farmers who had
travelled 5,000 miles in Britain.
Oscar Henline of Marcus, Iowa,
said: "The British' farmer is
fonder of work than we are. He
will walk behind a machine. We
won't."
Robert J. Howard of Sher-
burne, N.Y., said: "I take off
why hat to your land girls; they
are wondoutul."
Earl Robinson of Mondovi,

THE LESSON 1.N ITS SETTING
Time.—All of the discourses of
our lessonwere uttered. In the
autumn of AD. 28. `
Place.—The discourses were all,
delivered around the shores of
the sea of Galilee.
Parable of the Sower
"And again he began to teach
by the sea side. And there is
gathered unto him a very great
multitude, so that ho entered luto
a boat, and sat in the sea; and,
all the multitude were by the sea
on the land, And he taught them
many things in parables, and said
unto them in his teaching."
A parable is a short moral or
religious story of; which the moral
lesson is the substance. Parables
have always been popular in the
East. The rabbis. commonly began
to teach the young disciple in
parables. Our Lord reversed their
method, He began by the simple
words of the Sermon on the
Mount, then a change came, and
He spoke in parable when .He
foupd the hardheartedness of the
people.
The Sower and The Seed
"Hearken: Behold, the sower
went forth to sow." The 'seed, is,
as the account of this parable
indicates, nothing less than the
very Word of God. As we' -.shall
see later, the Word has life; as a
seed has life, and therefore it Is
able to produce something living
iu the hearts where it is implant-
ed.
By The Way Side
"And it came to pass. as he
sowed, some seed fell by the way
side, and the birds came and de-
voured it," The parable here pre-
sents nothing unusual. It is simp-
ly the picture of a man in Pales-
tine with a bag of seed over his
shoulder, casting the seed until
the field is sown. Some of
seed naturally will fall b.
way side, that is, on a beaten path
where ,the ground is hard, and
where the seed cannot grow. As
the seed is only safe from fowl
when buried in the soil, so is the
Word of life only safe against
tevil when. it has sunk deep down
into our hearts.
On Rocky Ground
"And another fell on the rocky
ground, where it had not much
earth; and straightway it sprang
up. because it had no deepness of
earth: and when the sun was ris-
en,. it was scorched; and because
it had no root, it withered away."
Nearness to the warm surface in-
duced rapid growth, but it also
led to the shortening of the young
plant's life. The, shallowness of
the soil did not permit the plant
to develop its roots. So with men,
the same shallowness of nature
which made them susceptible to
the gospel and quickly respons-
ive, snakes them susceptible to
pain, suffering, hardship, and
easily defeated, It so in all de-
partments of life.
Among The Thorns
"And others fell among the
thorns, and the thorns grew up,
and choked it, and it yielded no
fruit." These thorns our Lord lik-
ens to the, cares of the world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, and
the lusts of other things. The
idea here is that whoever lets
these worries fill his heart will
surely smother the word he has
heard, for this deals with higher
interests.
Into Good Ground
"And others fell into the good
ground, and .yielded fruit, grow-
ing up and increasing; and
brought forth, thirtyfeld, a n d
sixtyfolcl, and a hundredfold,"
V7hen life is done some show a
harvest. Some never let the word
in, some never let it root, some
never let it grow up. Like all the
Scripture revelations of man's sin-
ful state, this one too aims at the
conscience and repentance, thus
opening the soul for gospel. The
more it is opened the more fruit
will there be in the end,

The Warning
".And he said, Who hath ears
to hear, let him hear." This is
rather a call to attention than an
appeal to spiritual discernment,
axil yet suck an appeal is natural-
ly implied.
"And he said, So is the kingdom
of God, as if a man should cast
seed upon the earth; and should
sleep and rise night and day, and
the seed should spring up and
grow, he knoweth not how." The
earth is only the medium in which
the seed grows. It has no life and
can produce no life; all the life
is in the seed. The seed must be
brought to the earth by the will
of someone. So is the human heart.
The word must be cast into it by
another, must lodge there and
grow; then that heart has spirit-
ual life in it, the living Word.
The Harvest •
The earth beareth fruit of her-
self; first the blade, then the
ear, then the full grain in the ear.
But when the fruit is ripe,
straightway he putteth forth the
sickle, because the harvest is
come." This teaches that when
all that the Word of God is in-
tended to accomplish on earth in
this age has been accomplished,
the harvest time will come when
the Saints of God will be taken
home.
Christ's Kingdom
"And he said, How shall we
liken the kingdom of God? or in
what parable shall we set it
forth? It is like a grain of mus-
tard seed which, when is is sown
upon the earth, though it be less
than all the seeds that are npou
the earth, yet when it is sown,
groweth up, and becohneth greater
than all the herbs, and putteth
out great branches; so that •the
birds of the heaven can lodge
u n'd e r the shadow thereof."
Christ's kingdom shall attract
multitudes by the shelter and pro-
tection which it offers, shelter
from . worldly oppression and the
great power of the devil.
