! will divide the subject In four divisions:
First, man expects to reap; second,
same kind of seed that he sowsi
third, reap more than he sows;

Man reaps more than he sows. It did
not take Jacob long to sow tares but it took
him 70 years to reap them. 1t takes good
while to build up character but not long
to tear il down. II took me 50 years 10
