But being a creature of appetite, and knowing that it is good for food, why does he not eat it as the horse would? Being an ob- serving creature, and seeing that the seed in the furrow will dissolve and dis- 50 PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM appear, why does he commit it to such a fate? Or if, being also "a creature of large discourse, looking before and after," he perceives that seeming disso- lution is not real, but the wa}^ to a new and increased life, he must also see that there are formidable dif...ficulties in the way. Beyond his hand, it is beyond his reach. It must be left to the mercy of mechanical and incalculable forces, with grave uncertainty as to result. Why, then, should he exchange the se- cure for the problematic? Or, again, he knows that the seed must have fit soil, for he "goes forth" to find it. He knows that in sowing some must be scattered on the wayside, some on rocky ground, and some among thorns. Why, then, does he not di^op it pa- tiently, seed by seed, in fruitful fur- 51 / SOME PARABLES OF NATURE rows, rather than entail foreseen and reckless waste by sowing broadcast?
