grow and ripen so do trlbula tlon and persecution when the word is well rooted in halfhearted hearers 7 8 the third class of hearers are like rich promising but preoccupied soil there nre already thorns implanted there and the need falls upon theu they grow up in rank luxuriant profusion the good tired is choked and the early promur romra to nothing in this instance there has been some rral
