Lesson 137 



A PICTURE STUDY 



Tell what this man is doing, and how the ground has been 

 prepared for the seed. 



What in the picture shows you how and by whom this has 

 been done? 



How does the sower carry the seed, and how much does he 

 sow at a time ? 



What can you say of the time it will take to sow the whole 

 field ? How do you think this man feels about his work ? 



What tells you that he is able to do it ? 



For what do you think he hopes as he sows the seed ? 



What does this picture tell you about the kind of worker 

 this man is ? 



If he does his part and puts the seed into the ground, of 

 what help is he sure? 



Tell what you remember about the artist who painted the 

 picture of which this is a copy. 



THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER 



BEHOLD, a sower went forth to sow ; 

 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the 

 wayside, 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 no root, they withered away.
