In the course of his remarks he referred to the fact that oranges could be pick'd from trees in Beaufort, Hampton and other counties, to illustrate that most anything desired can be grown in the Edisto-Savannah rivers section, but the world needs to be told of it.

William^AVestonr ^.^TTof 7 Colum bia, paijd a tribute to the Edisto- Savannah Development association when he said, ‘‘I believe this organiza tion is going to do more for the devel opment of South Carolina than any other organization in the State to day.” He referred to the deficiencies in food, which deficiencies can be sup plied by the products of the soil of / \ 4 lower South Carolina and when once the country realizes this, South Caro lina cannot supply the demand. Ttower Craven, president of the Beaufoit County chamber, sounded a note of optimism and urged that the organization go forward! ‘‘Where else in the.United States will you^ find a State with such potentialities,, with pineapples to chestnuts in less than 12 hours?” He told of a tourist spending the winter in Beaufort,—& w’oman from the North, who became so interested in the possibilities of the section that she offered to take $10,000 stock in a cannery.

The place—the seaside—(v. 1). He was..obliged to enter a boat to escape the pressure^ the crowd. — 2. Why He taught in parables (vv. 0-12), A It was jiqt until the rulers had set their hearts against Him that He em ployed the parabolic method. 3. The parable of ^ the four kinds of ground (vv, 3-8:13-20). Observe that the seed and the sower are the’ same In all thqse instances, but the results are entirely different, determined by tbe condition of the soil. fl) The Wayside (vv. 14, 15J. The wayside njeans the track* beat en by tho hoofs of animals and the feet of men. Because the soli was un broken and uncultivated the seed could nor get beneath the surface, therefore was devoured by fowls, which represent the agents of Satan (v. 15). (2) The sftony ground (vv. 5. 6, 16, IT). . ,' - - Stony ground means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such conditions the seed springs up quickly and is soon scorched because It has not much depth. (3) The thorny ground (vv. 7, 18. 19). In this case the ground Is good, but has thorns In It. It is mellow and has depth, hut has not been cleaned of the ■ thorns. The thorny ground hearers of this age are: (a) Those \ylia_4ire so immersed in worldliness, business and anxious care that the good seed cannot mature; (b) those who are rich. The effect of-riches Is Often to blinds the spiritual percep tions; fc) those who are running after the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word. - — 4. The good ground (W. 8, 20).. This grpuncK differs from rill ’’the rest. It fs soft and mellow, deep and moist, therefore is capable of bring ing forth fruit In varying degrees of abundance. Ml. Jetut Pictures the Growth of the Kingdom (Mark 4:21-34). 1. The parable of the candle (vv. 21-25). \- The bushel stands for the cares and material things of life, and the bed for ease and comfort. 2. . The parable of the growing grain (vv. 26-29). (1) The attitude of mind of the gospel preacher (yv. ^6, 27). He should with the utmost fidelity cast seed Into the ground, preach the Word, and leave results to God. (2) .. T,he processes of the spiritual life are gradual (v. 28). It is “first the blade, then, the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” ' (3) The consummation of the spir itual process (v. 29). Despite the difficulty under which sowing Is done, we can be assured of a harvest time. 3. —The ’parable of the mustard seed (vv. 30-34). ^ (1) The unimportant beginning (v. 31). 2) Its vigorous growth (v. 32). ■/The greatest power on earth today Is that which had Its inception in the preaching of the gospel. (3) Its lodging capacity (v. 32). The birds which lodge in "the branches represent the children of the evil one who find protection and food In that which was inaugurated by I Jesus Christ.
