SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
TEACHING IN PARABLES
International Sunday School Lesson
for January 23, 1944.
GOLDEN TEXT: "If any man
hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Mark 4:23..
(Lesson Text: Mark 4:1-8; 26-34).
As the hostility of the synagogue
leaders became more pronounced
against Jesus he changed his method
of teaching.
Until now he had spok- j
en plainly and proclaimed great
truths so that all might understand
but, with the Pharisees seeking to
entrap him, Jesus began to speak in
parables.
"Parables are scenes or short
stories, taken from nature or from
tummou me, says nasungs DiDie
Dictionary, "which present in a pic-
turesque and vivid way some thought
or principle which is capable of be-1

it fell on four kinds of soil, on the j

underlain with rock in the midst of'

his explanation of the parable he
likened each kind of soil to a kind of

by him.

many who receive truth, give it con
sideration and acceptance, but allow
worldly interests to choke out any
genuine religion. Notice that Jesus
mentioned three weeds in human life
namely, deceitfulness of riches,
cares of the world, and lust of other
things.
Happily for the sower, some seed
falls on the ground, takes root,
grows into maturity and yields a rich
harvest. So with the life of those

The Parable of the Seed Growing!

gospel. Man has made much marvel-;
ous progress towards solving the'
processes of nature and science but j
he has not yet found the secret of I
life. This is still locked into the j
divine mind. Jesus said that his
kingdom was as a man who planted
seed in the ground and then went
about his ordinary affairs. The mar
velous process of life caused the seed
to sprout, to grow and finally bear I
fruit. So, those who are interested
in the advancement of his kingdom,
can do their best and trust in the'

"With the present high prices for
feed, it is especially desirable to re
move from the flock all thin, under

an ap-

On the other hand, the comb, face
and wattles of the non-laying hen
are shrunken, dry and pale. The en
tire head appears long and beefy,
and the eyes not clear and bright.
The low producer is also compara
tively inactive and of a wild dispo

Brown says that the principal things
to watch are health, present laying

future possibilities as layers or
