MMMMi IMHMi MMMMM MM In this thirteenth chapter of Mat thew the '‘mysteries" of the kingdom are unfolded. By '‘mystery" in the Scriptures Is meant truth undiscover- able by human reason, made known by revelation. The seven parables of this chapter set forth to a most graphic manner the admixture of moral and spiritual affairs In the world between Christ’s ascension and return to the earth. I. Th« Sower (v. 3). The sower is not named in this par- n able. In the parable of the wheat I and tares, the sower Is the &on of | Man (v. 37). It is evident that the sower In this case Is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the centuries He has been sowing the se€jd of divine truth by means of prophets, apostles and ministers. II. The Kind of Soil (vv. 4-8; 19- 23). v The soil is the human heart (v. 19). The seed sown is the Word of God (v. 19). The difference of results lies In the condition of the soil, which In turn Is the state of the human heart. Notwithstanding the faithfulness of the sower and the purity of the seed, the results of preaching God's Word depend upon the condition of the hu- msn heart. This parable reveals four kinds of soil or hearers. 1. \The. wayside, «or hard-hearted hearer (v. 4. cf. v. 19). The wayside means the track beat en down by the hoofs’of Animals and the feet of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the «<ced could not get beneath the Hurfa<*e. therefore was devoured by the fowls. The great truth taught Is that the heart unbroken and hard is not favor able soil for the gospel. 2. The stony places, or superficial hearers (vv. 3. 0, cf. vv. *20, in). This means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such condi tions the seed springs up quickly, hut likewise scorches quickly. Hearts su- perficlnlly Impressed receive God’s Word with Joy, but when persecution and trials come they' are not able to endure. 3. The thorny ground, or pre-occu plod hearer* (v. 7. cf. v. 22). In this case the ground Is good, mel low enough and of sufficient depth. \ hut has thorns in It. Such really hear the Word of God. but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things, entering In choke the Word and It be comes unfruitful (Mark 4:19). Many are the "thorny ground” hearers of this age. The good seed cannot mature because (l) of world liness. Men and women are complete ly absorbed In the things of business and are burdened with care. (2) The deceitfulness of riches. Anxious care in business brings riches to many. The effect of riches is to blunt the spiritual perception of men. (3) Lusts of other things entering in. This means the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word of God. Many of the enjoyments of the world may be Inno cent In themaelvea. hut they attract so much attention and consume so much energy and time that one has no time .for.BJble. reading, meditation and prayer. 4. The goo<J ground, or fruitful hear-' era (v. 8. c#f v. 23). "But other fell Into good ground and brought forth fruit." This ground dif fered from all the rest. If was mellow, deep and moist, therefore it was capa ble of bringing forth fruit, a hundred, some alxty and some thirty fold. In the measure that the heart is kept free from world! ness, riches and pleasures, the good seed matures. III. The Purpoit of Teaching In Parables (vv. 19-17). There Is much m 1 sapprehension con cernlng teaching In parables. The para bolic method of teaching makes clear the truth to those that love It, but con ceals it from those who have a dis taste for it Jesus did not teach by parables till the rulers had set their hearts against Him. When In the light of His miracles and wonderful works they turned against him and atttih ured His works to the devil. He de nounced them In the most scathing terms and began to teach In parables, tp fulfillment of the prophecy of Isai ah (Matt 13:14, 15; cf. Isa. 6:9, IQ). ■ . . • ic . Poor Soils Mean Low ' . \ J ' ' ■ . A Low Yields Mean LESS Money for Farmers, Merchants and Bankers The average yield of cotton for Barnwell County is about 140 pounds of lint cotton per acre. The ^average yield of corn is about 14 bushels per acre. > *' - - , — Fanners in Barnwell County who are building up their soils with legume crops, such as peas and beans as summer crops, and vetch and Austrian peas as winter crops, and are using plenty of the right kind of fertilizer, are making nearly a bale of cotton per acre and above thirty bushels of com per acre. to use enough of the right kind of PAUSE economy. It is equivalent to FAILURE. Your Experiment Station and good farmers all over the State find it profitable to plant peas and beans in every row of corn. Ask your county agent about the Experiment Station recommendations relative to soil building crops and fer tilizer.

Making the Demand Equal the Supply Csd Ever Ready to Prelect v God often strikes sway our props to bring ns down upon his mighty arms. What strength and pence It gives ns to feel them underneath ub! Far ns we may sink, we cannot go farther down tlmn those stretched arms.—Doctor Cuyler. Love Whet Love h is urn simple desire for the good of another or of rthers, and Is the nspretsloa of s spirit « IN olden days the mer chant, who oftentimes was also a manufacturer, went from house to house ped dling his wares. Then times changed, and meth ods changed, and the itinerant merchant disap peared. IN his place came the merchant of today-^the merchant who is a pur chasing agent for his community. AS a purchasing agent the mer chant buys as he believes the people , _ m in his community will buy fiom’hirri. Sometimes his sales are many, at other times they are few. Always, however, his supply is equal to the demand. But the demand, unhap pily, all too often falls very, very far below the suppljf. Which means poor business. TAKE your own case. You have, let us say, enough of the goods yod handle to supply a goodly number of the people in BARNWELL who re quire these goods. Do They demand these goods in such great quantities as to make your supply inadequate? THIS newspaper has joined small town newspapers all over the country in a nation-wide Cam paign to convince national adver tisers that they can beat assist small town merchants by advertis ing in the local, hom£ town news papers of the small town mer chants. The odds are they don’t. S'" STILL, you can’t do as the merchant of old did and create a demand for your goods by peddl ing them from house to house. So you take ad vantage of the very best means available and ad- vertese in your local home newspaper. Valuable as this is there’s still an other selling force—and that is the adveitising of the manufacturers whose goods you want to sell to BARNWELL’S buyers—which should also appear in your local, home newspaper. AND you can go far in getting this aid by talking about BARNWELL to the salesmen, through whom you buy your merchandse — by inoculating them with the thought that local de mand can be created and directed chiefly through your local, home news paper—by making them see how necessary it rs to your business wel fare to have the advertising of their companies in your home newspaper. o You Mad tha advertising aid of the manufacturers phase goods you stock—urge their salesmen to rocammend your local home paper.
