NE ARE SOWING.

Everyone will receive their own
reward according to their own
lpbor, according to the use made
of their talents and opportunities;
not according to the harvest that

gifts they may make; not accord
ing to worldly applause they may
receive; not according to the
great riches they may gain; not
according to the high station
they may fill, but according to
the seed they have sown. The

reap" This will apply to all,
the rich as well as the poor, the

Are you sowing SO that you will
be satisfied when the harvest
comes1 Let us examine at the
close Of each day what we have
sown. Sow love Of country, SOW

SOW love in your home, SOW love
