? BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON f
October 19 4
By M. S. Briggs -.
Golden Text:
'The Sower Soweth
the Word."
The setting of this lesson is a most
pleasant one. The sea of Gallilee,
which is a most beautiful inland
lake some seven miles wide hy eleven
I ilrs In length, with the water coin
ing from the .now clad mountains
of Lebanon, were clear and abound
ed with fish. The hills and moun
tains surrounding the sea of Galli
lee made a most beautiful place. In
some places the mountains formed
high bluffs along the shore, in other
places the shore gradually receded
from the water and fields of grain
grew, beginning almost st the wa
ter's edge. There were no roads as
we have them now but as most of
the traffic was carried on camels and
donkeys. The roads were rather
trails or paths. Nature had been
generous in its distribution of hills
and streams and rocks rnd trees but
had made no well defined "roads. So
the" people had to make the best of
what they found in Nature and so
the roads and trails often meandered
over a man's farm and right thru
his wheat field and in many cases
trumping out the grain which had
just come up. This being the year
of popularity of the Master many
people flocked to hear and see him.
So mr.ch so that they crowded upon
him and he asked one of the fisher
men to row him a little way in the
hike, tin:: leaving the people on the
shore and as the land rose from the
water a natural amphitheater was
made, so all could see him as he sat
in t o boat and also hear him.
The Master must have loved the
sea. l;e shere and th? hills for he
often reposed hith-er. As lie sat in
the boat and locked at the people
He sow the fields of growing grain
waving or. the hills:de, he and they
could s'e the wheat growing some
-ood grain, some ou thin land very
poor wheat, so:vie scorched and dried
out. ether which had fallen on the
roads. The birds had carried the
see-'s away. Then there were the
pL.ths where the feet of men and ani
mals had tramped it out.
When all were attention He said:
"Hearken! Behold. The sower went
forth to sow and it cane to pass as
ho sowed some seed fell by the way
side and the birds came and de
voured it.
Other fill on the rocky ground,
where it had not much earth; and
straightway it sprung up. because it
i-i.d no: much earth and when the
sun came up it wrs scorched and
withered away. Others fell among
the thorns and the thorns grew up
r nd choked it and it yielded no fruit.
And ethers fell into the good ground
and yielded fruit, growing up and
i:ir-easing and brought forth thirty
fold and sixty-fold and a hundred
fold. And he said. "Who hath ears
to hear, let him hear." When he
had so said they observed all the
conditions in the fields as they
:proad out before them and how ap
preciable it illustrated the parable
which he was then giving them.
Some fell by the wayside and the
birds came and devoured it. That
is. the seed is the Word of God and
where it is source the devil comes
and snatches it away and no effect
is mnde on the person. The grain
which was sown on stony ground are
thv who received the word and
with Joy received it but had no depth
of character and endured but for a
little while and when persecution
came were not able to withstand the
scare and bore no fruit.
Aerain that that fell among thorns
r.re they that when they received the
word were overjoyed and because of
the over enveloping influence of bus
iness and deceitfulness of riches bore
no fruit. There came the grain that
fell on good ground, bringing forth
