To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Thus saitli tlie Lord, Break up your fallow grouud, and sow not among thorns. " Last Sunday I spoke to you of the first part of this text, and tried to urge upon you as its message that you should, with all your hearts and all your souls set yourselves to the fresh duties which now, at the begin- ning of another term, devolve upon you here. The second half of the text seems appropriate for to-day; it dwells, not on the need for labour, but on a danger which, if neglected, would render that to...il unfruitful. It warns you that it is not enough to break up your fallow ground, nor even to sow good seed ; but that the ground must be a clean fallow — that it must be free from pre-occupations — that there must be room for the good seed to grow. The metaphor must be clear to the youngest boy. The field is the human heart ; the seed is the word and the will of God; the harvest is your sanctification. When the heart is simple, and innocent, and free from wrong, there are no thorns there ; it is as Paradise before Adam fell ; nothing grows in that heavenly garden but the golden fruits'of the Spirit and the fair flowers of grace.
