RIPE WHEAT.

We bent to-day DER coiiincd form.
And our tear. fell softly down;
We looked our last on the aged face.
With its look Of peace, It's patient grace,
And hair like u silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-cold hands,
From lfe's long labor at rest
And among the blossoms white and sweet.
We noted bunch Of golden wheat,
Clasped close to the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered Of iidelc-s bloom.
OF land where fall no tears.
The ripe wheat told Of toll and care.
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer,
The garnered good Of the years.
We knew not what work her hands had founi
What rugged places her feet,
What cross WAS hers, what blackness If night
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white.
And the bunch Of ripened wheat
As each goes up from the field Of earth.
Bearing the treasures Of life,
God looks for some gathered grain Of gool
From the ripe harvest that shining stood,
But waiting the reapcr's knife.
Then labor well, that IN death you 90

Not bent with doubt, and burdencd with fears.

We can do but little, ut most; but we can
do that little constantly. Little by little does
God elevate us to Himself lie calls daily,

another, and we become rcprobatcs. A ma

just SO are saints built. God accommodates
himself to our condition by atlording us OPP
portunity and material us we need them.
