Whenever You Heed a General Tonio
JESU TEACHING FIVE PARABLES
FOUR KINDS OF GROUND.
LESSON TEXT Mark 4:1-20.
GOLDEN TEXT Take heed therefore
how ye hear. Luke 8:18.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR
TEACHERS Matt. 13:1-30; 36-43.
PRIMARY TOPIC Jesus telling a story
about sowing need.
PRIMARY MEMORY VERSE Be ye
doers of the word. James 1:22.
Jesus tells us plainly why he tnught
so much by means of parables ( Matt.
13 :10-13). The truth had to be taught ;
hence the parable, that those to whom
It was given to know the messages of
the kingdom, those who sought it,
might know and understand, and that
to the others It might be hidden (Mark
4:11, 12). Like all his parables, Jesus
draws his pictures from the common
experiences of life the field, the homo,
etc. Paul draws his illustrations chief
ly from the city, the army, the market.
In studying this lesson we must turn
to the parallel account as given by
Luke and Matthew to get the full and
complete picture.
What is the seed? Luke says that
Jesus told his disciples that the seed
was the Word of God .(Luke 18:11).
We get the same thought in verse four
teen of the lesson. A great deal is be
ing made today of seed selection. Some
wonderful results have been obtained.
How much more important for those of
us who deal with immortal souls that
we select the best seed, i. e., the Word
of God.
j The second consideration is the
' sower (v. 4). Notice he went forth not
, to "soar," not is it recorded that he
was "sore" because the people did not
! all receive the seed alike. He did not
have a grouch ; he did not enter into
j his work that he might receive the
adulation of men (Matt. G:2). It is,
however, the "soil" that seems to be
most emphasized in both the direct
teaching and also the explanation of
the parable. There are four kinds of
soil. The manner by which the seed
came into contact with each kind of
soil is significant. Some fell "by" the
wayside ; the path was well trodden ;
the ground was preoccupied ; e. g., it
was used for other purposes than to
yield a harvest; it was hard to be
broken, and hence it was an easy mat
ter for the birds of the air (v. 15) to
come and pluck it away. - We need to
remember that if men receive with
meekness the Implanted word, there
will, of course, be no such opportunity
for the evil one. The trouble in this
case was that the Word was not im
planted. Thus it is that one-fourth of
the seed is lost. The result is a deplor
able one as we see from Heb. 2:1-4.
Is the soil of our life so hard that God
must drive the plowshare clean
through It ere there is a chance for the
seed to take root? (Ps. 129:3).
The next fell "on" the rocky ground.
The first is a picture of the hardened,
and this is a picture of the superficial
hearer. For a time they did run well.
They even received the Word with
gladness (v. 1G), but they had no sta
bility because they had no root. They
were superficial. There was no chance
for the seed to get a real grip on their
lives. The earth yields its. increase
though we do not understand. So God
will add his 05 per cent to our 5 per
cent. The oak tree comes from small
seed.
In the third place Jesus speaks of
the seed that fell "among" the thorns.
Here is the worldly soil. It is not so
much the character of the soil, it is
the character of that which already oc
cupied the soil ere the sower sowed
the seed. The cares of this world, the
dcccitfulness of riches and "other
things" had so entered in tlrat the
good seed never had a chance in the
soil of the human heart. It was choked
and yielded no fruit. There was no
real grip of the will, no whole-hearted
surrender. The cares of life that keep
the housewife or the business man;
the deceltfulness of riches that snare
men and choke the word which at one
time gave such promise in their lives;
the lusts and other things which the
evil one knows so well how to use keep
us from the Word, for Satan knows
that by it we are to be saved (Luke
1S:12). Are we impulsive? Do we
make vows soon forgotten, ties that
soon fade away or fall beneath the
temptations for lack of root? May
God blast and turn up the subsoil of
our hearts by strong convictions of sin,
and so occupy the soil that there is no
opportunity for other things.
We have thus seen three-fourths of
the seed lost. Of the remaining
fourth, that which fell "into" (It. V.)
the good soil, not all yielded the same
return. It all brought forth (v. 7) ; it
all yielded ; it all sprang up, but not all
in the same ratio.
There are three distinguishing fea
tures of this last kind of hearers: (1)
They hear the Word. These are the
ones who appreciate its value end give
good heed to Its precepts. (2) They ac
cept it e. g. they understand its teach
ings. They take it into good and hou
est hearts. (3) They hold it fas.i
(Lake 8:15 K. V.) These are the
ones of which martyrs are made.
Jesus was a great open-air preachei
(vv. 1 2) and like all others he bar
various kinds of hearers the hilf
hearted hearer the shallow-hearte
hearer. The way to reach the masse,
s to go where the masses are.

Tonight! Take Dodson's Liver Tone!
Better Than Calomel For Liver
Calomel sickens! If bilious, constipated and head
achy read my guarantee.
Listen to me ! Take no more sicken
ing, salivating calomel when biliou.i or
constipated. Don't lose a day's work!
Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, break
ing it up. This is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are sluggish and "all knocked out' if
your liver Is torpid and bowels consti
pated or you have headache, dizziness,
coated tongue, if breath is bad or
stomach sour, just take a spoonful of
harmless Dodson's Liver Tone.
nere's my guarantee Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful tonight, and If It doesn't
straighten you right up and make you
feel fine and vigorous by morning, I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be
cause it is real liver medicine ; entire
ly vegetable, therefore it can not sali
vate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam
ily feeling fine for inonths. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn't
gripe and they like Its pleasant taste.
