WHILE" A little trouble and little
hardship in service. little smile of
scorn and "straigthway they Stun
ble."
Another group of people are beset
by 'the cares of the world and the
deceitfulness of riches and the lusts
of other things" A great variety of
"thorns" abound to throttle the truth
today. Men with divided wills do
not accomplish much. A mans
whole will must be devoted to God
and His service,
There is great host of people
whose hearts are like "the good
ground" They always hear the word
and accept it aud bear fruit" There
are three qualities of the good hearer:
Attention, sincerity. obedience. This
is the order in which hearing is made
effective. There is no obedience
where attention is not given. What
sort of soil of attention does your
church offer to your minister? What
sort does your own heart offer?
iii. Thirty, Sixty or One Hundred
Fold
How much fruit does your life
yield?? God is not satisfied with
small -harvests. Whatever He does
for YOU is based on love and desire TO
secure larger results in your life. Men
ought to be glad that God desires
them to bring forth "much fruit"
Somebody has suggested that new
product should be named 'Super-
Wheat Quality" A single quarter"
sown two years ago produced
fOrtythree quarters in the first
year; and these in their turn have
produced TO quarters. Something
like this might come of the extension
of Christ's kingdom among the hearts
of men. Think of the fruitfulness of
men like Livingston, Spurgeon and
Moody. In smaller degree according
to our ability we may turn men from
sin to God "Only the christian of
super wheat quality can bring forth
fruit in super wheat quantity. some
sixty, some an hundredfold. Is it not
true of many of us. that by the grace
of God we might BE much more
than we are?"
