SOWING AND REAPING
EVERY one is sowing,
both by word and deed;
All mankind are growing,
either wheat or weed;
Thoughtless ones are throwing
any sort of seed.
Serious ones are seeking
seed already sown
Many eyes are weeping,
now the crop is grown;
Think upon the reaping,
each one reaps his own.
Surely as the sowing
shall the harvest be,
See what you are throwing
over hill or lea,
Words and deeds are growing
for eternity.
There is One all-knowing,
looking on alway,
Fruit to him is flowing,
feeling for the day
Will your heart be glowing,
in the grand array?
Ye that would be bringing
sheaves of golden grain,
Mind what you are flinging,
both from hand and brain,
Then 'mid glad songs singing,
you shall glean great gain. —
The Advance.
