or the house and sat by the sea side And great multitudes were gathered together unto him so that he went into a ship and sat and the whole multitude stood on the shore And he spake many things unto them in parables saying Behold a sower went forth to sow And when he sowed some seeds fell by the way side and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up they were scorched and because they had not root they withered away And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprung up and choked them: But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some a hundredfold some sixtyfold some thirtyfold Who hath ears to hear let him hear Hear ye therefore the parable oi the sower When any one heareth the wora of the kingdom and understandeth it not then cometh the wicked one and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart This is he which received seed by tha way side But he that received the seed into stony places the same is he that heareth the word and anon with joy receieveth It Yet hath he not root in himself but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word by and by he is offended He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hearest the word and the care of this world and the deoeitlulness of riches choke the word and he becometh unfruitful But he that received seed into tne good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it which also beareth fruit and bring-eth forth some a hundredfold soipc sixty some thirty LOSES BATTLE TO KEEP GIFT Norfolk Insurance Man Sees $30000 Slip from Grasp NOT HE SHORT There may ilw happening at the of the Nebraska teg-month than the in-of Gov
