FOUR HEARERS.
The majority of the people did not
understand Jesus that day. He had to
interpret His meaning to His disciples
even and in doing so He gave us a
principle of Interpretation that we must
follow if we would understand other
parallels. He did not press the illus
tration too far; He intended it to teach
one thing.
Before Him were four kinds of hear
ers. There are just four kinds in every
congregation today. Look at them and
determine prayerfully in which pew
you have been sitting all these years.
The first are those on whose hearts the
seed rattles like peas on pan They
have been hardened by constant USE
If the seed might have remained on
the path until a rain came and soften-
ed it, they might have borne fruit. BUT
the birds got it before then, almost as
soon as it fell. Some hearts are so
hardened by constant use and refusal
of Gods mercy that when they hear
the word, the devil takes it away I'M
mediately before it has had time to
soak in, lest they should believe and
be saved. Are you that kind of hearer!
Are you so under the power OF the
devil as that? VIII you be Satan's
slave longer?
The second kind are the shallow ones.
Luke's record is very concise. THESE
have no root, which for while believe,
and in time of temptation fall away.
A rootless religion is risky. Are you
rooted and grounded in love; or are you
rootless? That man is rootless VINO
faff
is in him, who is confusing feeling for
faith. who is neglecting his Bible and
prayer. who's is taking noruishment
only once a week and then having 1t
fed to him by the pastor or Sunday
school teacher. Are you suchT
The third kind are preoccupied, anu
bring no fruit to perfection. TaSy
bear some fruit, but it is a poor yield.
II is not a profitable yield to the SOW
err. Every grain is stunted, because
the soil has been made to, do more
than it could. other plants have been
growing O.. it too. Thorns in the right
place are good, but they have no Place
here. Corn planted in a wheat field
will prevent the largest yield OF wheat
The wheat will not come to perfection
Is your heart preoccupied? is the
seed sown in your life yielding che
largest returns possible?
The fourth kind is refreshing. 1t
brings gladness to the farmers heart
to see the fields waving with the gold
/, en- grain, and yielding great returns TO
the acre for the labor and expense he
had put forth. Some soil was better
to start with than others. it hadn't
been overworked Some had been more
highly fortified; but this, that and the
other brought forth all of which it vas
capable. Each did its best Thank
God, some people who hear the word
with an honest and good heart, keep 1t
and bring worth fruit with patience,

such?

ALBANY TROOPS FIGHT
PROPOSED TRANSFER

ALBANY. Ga. July 10.-A determined
fight is being made against the transfer
of the Albany Guards from the Fourth
battalion. Georgia infantry, to the Sec
ond battalion, and the changing of its
designation from Company to Com
pany X.
The order for this change came several
days ago. from the war department,
and friends of old Company Z feel that
an injustice has been done the his
torical organization.
The company was first organized in
1861. and was the first of all troops
from other states to enter Virginia dur
ing the civil war. 1t has been known
as Company E. Fourth Georgia infantry,
from that historical beginning down to
the present time, and the disbanding of
the Fourth infantry and the change of
the company's designation from Com
the company's designation from oCm-
pany to Company X are therefore re-
scented as unjust to the splendid record
of the company.
