(Audio for chapter 11 begins at 6:07)

Of the almost innumerable lessons taught in the varied processes of growth, some of the most precious are conveyed in the Savior's parable of the growing seed.
The seed has in itself a germinating principle, a principle that God Himself has implanted; yet if left to itself the seed would have no power to spring up.
Man has his part to act in promoting the growth of the grain; but there is a point beyond which he can accomplish nothing. He must depend upon One who has connected the sowing and the reaping by wonderful links of His own omnipotent power.  
There is life in the seed, there is power in the soil; but unless infinite power is exercised day and night, the seed will yield no return.
The showers of rain must refresh the thirsty fields;
the sun must impart warmth;
The life which the Creator has implanted, He alone can call forth.
Give, and it shall be given unto you. Luke 6:38, is the lesson written no less surely in nature than in the pages of Holy Writ.
