IV. The parable tells us nothing about the comparative acreage of the path and the rocky and thorny soils on the one hand, and of the fertile soil on the other. It is not meant to teach the proportion of success to failure, but to exhibit the fact that the reception of the word depends on men's dispositions. The good soil has none of the faults of the rest of the field.
Both varieties of the black rhinoceros are extremely fierce and dangerous, and rush headlong and unprovoked at any object which attracts their attention. They never attain much fat, and their flesh is tough, and not much esteemed by the Bechuanas. Their food consists almost entirely of the thorny branches of the wait-a-bit thorns.
And champagne, if you please, all as bold as life! And all dressed up, Susan, I wish you could have seen her! Well. I couldn't see who she was with " "A party?" "A party no! One man." "Oh, Thorny " Susan began to be doubtful, slowly shook her head. "But I tell you I SAW her, Sue! And listen, that's not all. We sat there and sat there, an hour I guess, and she was there all that time.
They soon reached a spot where a high hedge of thorny shrubs parted the old man's plot from that of Susannah. Rufinus here pricked up his ears and then angrily exclaimed: "As sure as I long to be quit of this lumber, they are cutting my hedge again! Only last evening I caught one of the slaves just as he was going to work on the branches; but how could I get at the black rascal through the thorns?
If existence has been to him hitherto rather hard and thorny than otherwise, he finds the voyage out a pleasant interval of rest and refreshment; and, in any case, it recruits and prepares him to better commence the new life in the colony, with good spirits and high hopes, with invigorated strength, and renewed health in both mind and body.
"Indeed I know it, old boy," said Vibbard, heartily. He rose, came to his old college-mate and took hold of his disengaged arm with both hands, affectionately. "Look here," he added; "there's been something queer and dismal about seeing each other, after such a long interval, something awkward about this settlement between us. If I've done anything to hurt your feelings, Thorny, I'm sorry.
When the dry weather destroys this supply of food in one district, they migrate to another part of the country. They come forth to feed about 4 P.M., and they invariably, retire to the thickest and most thorny jungle in the neighbourhood of their feeding-place by 7 A.M. In these impenetrable haunts they consider themselves secure from aggression.
But that excellent matron had had two of her children ill with some infantine disease, and had in consequence not a thought to spare for any one out of her own household. The name of Harper never crossed her lips until Agatha, using a safe plural, boldly asked the question, "Had Emma seen anything of them?" Mrs. Thorny croft could not remember. Yes, she fancied some one had called Mr.
The dry volcanic soil and arid climate seem favourable to the production of such stunted and thorny vegetation, for the natives assured me that this was nothing to the thorns and prickles of Sumbawa whose surface still bears the covering of volcanic ashes thrown out forty years ago by the terrible eruption of Tomboro.
Let me expand this question for you. 'We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God' 'believest thou this? 'We must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ' 'believest thou this? 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish' 'believest thou this? 'The Son of Man came... to give His life a ransom for many' 'believest thou this? 'Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ' 'believest thou this? 'Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept' 'believest thou this? 'I go to prepare a place for you' 'believest thou this? 'Where I am there shall also My servant be' 'believest thou this? 'So shall we ever be with the Lord' 'believest thou this? That is Christianity; and not theories about inspiration, and priesthood, and sacramental efficacy, or any of the other thorny questions which have, in the course of ages, started up.
