In studying this lesson we must turn
{ to the parallel account as given b
| Luke and Matthew to get the full and
| complete picture.
| What is the seed? Luke says that
| Jesus told his disciples thut the seed
was the Word of God (f.uke 18:11).
We get the same thought in verse four
teen of the lesson. A great deal is be-
ing made today of seed sclection. Some
wonderful results have been obtained,
Iow much more important for those of
us who deal with immertal souls that
we sclect the best seed, i. e., the Word
of God.

his work that he might reccive the
adulation of men (Aatt. 6:2). It is,
however, the “soil” that seems to he
most emphasized in both
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

the ground was preoccupied; eo. g., it
was used for other purposes than to
yield a harvest; it was hard to be
ter for the birds of the air (v. 15) to
for the evil one. The trouble in this
«case was that the Word was not
planted. Thus it is that one-fourth of
ihe seed is lost. The result is a
able one as we see from Ileb. 2:1-4,
Is the soil of our life so hard that God
must drive the plowshare
iin-
seed to take root? (Ps. 129:3).
The first is a picture of the hardened,
and this is a picture of the superficial
hearer. For a time they did run well,

he threshed 16,000 bushels of wheat,
