thrill of spirit that had refreshed
Him and prepared Him for the going
among men again with an attempt
to approach Jerusalem from the side
of province popularity. His vision
was lifted again to the fields in which
there were race differences but there
was the showing of possible harvest
that would surprise those who were
willing to attempt the task "You
shall be reapers," was the promise to
these followers. The high Joy of the
harvest festival was to be theirs. The
promise does hint at the drudgery of
sowing but it is submerged in the joy
Of seeing the return in great sheaves
of gathered grain. And it is true
that for every worker with life, the
return far outbalances the labor, JOY

has been kept across all centuries
since.
