Sowing and Reaping.
[By Sidney II. Hatch. ]

by OluI6y II. 1aLSh.
He who would gather the golden grain
In lie's great harvest field,
Must pause not to listen to pleasures
refrain,
To sloth must never yield;
With faith, and courage that knows nc
fear,
His steadfast course must keep,
For he, who heedeth the winds and clouds,
Shall neither SOW nor reap.
If tempests assail him on every hand,
And clouds obscure the sun,
If these unmoved he will boldly stand,
The conflict will be won,
For victory always cometh to those
Who faith and courage keep;
But he who heedeth the winds and clouds
Shall neither sow nor reap.
Then scatter each day with the seeds Of
Truth
The heavenly grain of Love,
And a sure return for faithful toll
Will a rich harvest prove;
God giveth to all a hundred fold
Who His commands will keep;
But he who hs edeth the winds and clouds
Will neither SOW nor reap.
