QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man VIII
Be Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride Of
fullness or regret of bitter poverty;
what is ours-we who also have had
our year? As the old phrase has it
What fruits have we brought FORTH
Man is not bound to the seasons as
titled land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul in when autumn comes,
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more of patience,
humility and courage; to see to 1t that
evil loses and that good is strength
ened in the unending conflict Of those
forces. For the souls harvest home
1t is either tares Of wheat; there Is no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
Of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest is infinity and
eternally more important than that
which he wrests from the fleld.-COl
