Jesus Christ was a master story
teller. It was never hard for His
listeners to understand His teach
ings, for He used sights, sounds,
and objects familiar to all of them.
In the parable which begins with
the above words, Jesus taught a
lesson about how men receive the
Word of God, that covers every
case. His language is simple,
straightforward, and leaves no one
in doubt as to where he stands in j
relation to Jesus as the Son of God.
Four classes are mentioned by
Jesus, and all of us fit into one or
another of them. The first group
are those by the wayside, whose!
lives are so taken up with the j
pleasures and business of this life
that they could not understand
what Jesus was teaching about j
Eternal Life. This seed the birds
carried away; some new excite
ment or item of gossip would en- j
tirely blank out from their minds
what Jesus had said.
The second group “had not much
earth;” they were shallow in their
turning to Jesus, and it was soon
seen trat the hard heart of sin was
still there and the seed could not
take root. When someone came
along and criticized the person for
going “fanatical” over religion,'
the belief in Jesus soon withered ,
and died.
The third group, Jesus said, were i
“among thorns.” This group has
wonderful possibilities, like a fer
tile field ready for the grain. But
in with the seed of Jesus’ teach-!
ings grew the thorns of worldli
ness, and desire for riches. The two
could not live together, and soon
the better was choked to death by
the poorer.
At last Jesus tells of those who J
were as “good ground,” and pro
duced thirty or sixty or one hun
dred times as- much as was plant
ed. Those who make up this group
stand true to the teachings of Je
sus even though it means they
must confess their own shortcom- j
ings as they look at the sinless life
that Jesus lived. Having -thus hum
bled themselves they are ready to
produce a harvest, for they under-j
stand what Jesus meant when He
said, “He that findeth his life shall
lose it; but he that loseth his life
for My sake and the Gospel’s shall
find it.”
Reader, in which group do you
find yourself? “He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear.”

spot where Richardson had been
sighted. A doctor was included.
As Starbuck took off from the
isolated area, a terrific wind
caught his plane and carried it
backward, it crashed on its back,
breaking in two.
He escaped without injury,spent
the night in the plane wreckage
and mushed to the same “'Mile 27”
cabin in which Richardson had
taken refuge.
Both pilots were flown to Cor
dova yesterday in small planes.
Temperatures in the region have
sunk to 20 and 25 degrees below
zero in the past nights.
It was almost a miracle that
Richardson survived after such
near exhaustion but his condition
was reported as satisfactory.
Some members of a ground res
cue party, who were flown to a
spot several miles from where
Richardson’s plane crash-landed,
said conditions were as toad as
they ever have seen them in the
region.
The suto-zerp cold was made
more intense by strong winds. It
took them three hours to hike five
miles from the crash scene to the
cabin to which Richardson had
trekked.

Air Corps, has been spending the
past week visiting with his wife
who is a patient in the M-M-M
