suitable: nevertheless.
the intimation is that it is within the power of many to correct and offset the
unfavorable conditions in themselves. We are not loft to conjecture, for this
is one of the few parables which our Lord himself interpreted a fact which
many seem not to have noticed.
The "seed" is the message of the Kingdom. Many do not understand it.
On such ears the message is lost, for the Adversary is on the alert to take it
away, as symbolized by the birds devouring the exposed "seed by the way
Bide." Such "wayside" hearers constitute the most numerous class iu every
congregation of the nominal church. They are merely formalists.
"Stony" ground represents another class of hearers of the Kingdom mes
sage. To them it sounds good; they are interested, but they lack depth of
character. They make professions and for a time flourish extraordinarily, but
they lack the depth necessary to a character development suitable for the
Lord's use in the work of the Kingdom. -and when the trials and testings
come they stumble. They thought they might be carried to the Kingdom on
"flowery beds of ease, while others fight to win the prize and sail through
bloody seas." There is no easy road to the Kingdom. The Master declares
to all who woiild be of the elect "Bride," "Through much tribulation shall ye
enter the Kingdom."
The ground which will produce thorns is rich, and very suitable for the
production of proper Christian character, but it is infested with thorn seed,
and the soil cannot successfully produce both wheat and thorns: hence, as the
parable shows, the thorns choke out the wheat, so that a sufficient crop is not
produced. These thorns are not. as some have suggested, sensual vices and
criminal appetites. Hearts in which sensuality dominates have no ear what
ever for the Kingdom message, and are not mentioned in the parable, which
refers only to those who are no longer willing sinners, but who are walking
outwardly in the way of righteousness. The Master's word is, "lie that re
ceiveth the seed among thorns is he that heareth the word, and the cares of
this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke tiie word and he becometh un
fruitful." There are many coble people represented also by this portion of
the parable. There are many who. if freed from the spirit of the world, from
its ambitions and wealth and influence, its love of the goid things of this life,
would be very fruitful in righteousness. When we lock about us and see the
thrift and energy of many people of civilized lands, we say to ourselves, prop-

of these earthly encumbrances, what grand, noble characters they would make.
However, their strength, their energy, is absorbed hy worldly affairs and
cares, and they do not bring forth the fruitage demanded as the necessary
qualification for the higher honors of n place with Christ in his Kingdom.
The Master s message to such is. You cannot give your time and strength and
influence to worldly matters and at the same time make your "calling and
election sure" to a place with nie in my Kingdom. Whoever would be liry dis
ciple, let him take up his cross and follow me. Where I am there shall my
disciple be.
"Herein is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit." said our Master.
Id this parable the yood ground varies in its productiveness thirty, sixty and
an hundred loid. The larger the returns, the greater will be the Father's pleas
ure and the Savior's g';"ry. Nor is the statement an extreme one, as some
might suppose. The new "miracle wheat" some times produces more than
two hundred grains from one. This parable seems to imply that the respon
sibility for the fi-uitfulness of the heart and life and character depends very
greatly upon the individual and how he receives the message of the Kingdom.
Those in whom the fruits will be the most abundant will be such as grasp
the invitation most intelligently and earnestly. "lie that heareth the word and
tinder st andctfi it" and whose heart is in a condition ot loynty to God and who
frees himself from hindrances and worldly ambitions and aspirations and,
like the Apostle Paul, can say, "This one thing do," will surely gain the
Kingdom.
It is not sufficient that we hear t7?c messaae of the Kingdom: it is not suffi
cient that we have good hearts or good intentions in respect to it: it is addi
tionally necessary, as the Master says, that we shouid understand the Kingdom
message; hence the need of Bible study. Intelligent people consider it very
wise and proper that several years of study be devoted to preparation for the
few years of earthly life. How much study, then, should be considered proper
for our preparation for the eternal life and Kingdom blessings? The time and
effort thus consumed in character development for the Kingdom are wisely
spent, and the harvest of thirty, sixty or a hundred fold illustrates the degree
and intensity of our earnestness. The rewards in the Kingdom will also be
proportionate. "As star differeth from star in glory, so shall it be in the resur
rection of the dead." Varying degrees of glory in the Kingdom will be mani
fested, yet none will be acceptable to the Father who shall not have brought
forth fruitage in good, measure.
