The stony-ground hearers had fallen off; yet fifty adults were present at the preaching, and gave close attention. Of women a larger number than usual were present, and seemed to be waking up to the idea, that religion was a thing for them. From twelve to fifteen women attended a daily afternoon prayermeeting.
Rufus Anderson - History Of The Missions Of The American Board Of Commissioners For Foreign Missions To The Oriental Churches, Volume I.

He had been a "stony-ground" hearer, receiving the truth with gladness, but having no root in himself. He had been as the ground choked with thorns, suffering the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches to choke and hinder the growth of heavenly life.
T. S. (Timothy Shay) Arthur - All's for the Best
