perior to others around it; it may
stir our souls with pride as we
contemplate it; but will it stand
when the Master inspects it? Will
it meet his approval when ne

Sow Well. The law and the
duty of sowing and reaping are
as old as the race and as familiar
as sun and shower. Yet we often
fail to apply this natural law in
the spiritual world. To sow well
we must SOW good seed in good
soil. Then may we hope to come
rejoicing at harvest time bringing
in the Sheaves. We note seven
imperatives:
On Sow the Gospel. That is
the message needed by men. 1t is
the good tidings Of a Saviour who
brings salvation to the lost world
1t is the truth as it is in Jesus
and 1.-THE truth shall make you
free" SO it unshackles men, frees
them from the power Of sin, re-
leases them into larger and bet
ter life. 1t brings life and inn
mortality to light. Broadcast the
gospel. Scatter it over the earth
let all men know the best news
that was ever flashed from
heaven to earth.
(2) Sow in Receptive Hearts
When the good seed is scattered
upon good ground and sinks into
sympathetic soil, it terminate:
and grows. Thus one is taught
in the word" This mind and
heart receive the implanted truth
As evidence of its productive pc
Sibilities, the pupil shares with
his teacher in all the good things
which he possesses. The sharing
is the result of the sowing. The
receptive heart animates the re
sponsive life.
(3) Sow unto the Spirit. Ever!
sowcr must SOW either to th'
flesh or to the Spirit. Sowing t
the flesh means so cultivating ant
gratifying fleshly appetites. aims
and ambitions as to put the whole
OF life under the sway Of the sin
full nature. Sowing to the Spiri
means such obedience. to him il
walk and work that life is com
pletely under. his dominant an,
directive influence. Between tn
two can any true soul hesitat
one moment?
Sow for the Harvest. The tim
of reaping is sure to come. T
his sorrow he who sows to tn
flesh must reap decay, with 1t
corruption unspeakable and it:
death undying. To his JOY he VIII
sows unto the Spirit will real
eternal life with its boundlesnes
and its fellowship forever.
(5) Sow Good Deeds with Pat
fence. II is not enough to do we
now and then, on occasion or q
convenience; the well-doer mus
do well continually. 1t is no
enough to plan only one row 0
to scatter one handful of seed
every row must be planted, al
the seed must be broadcast, tn
entire field must be cultivated
As often said, one may get tire
in the Lords work but should
never get tired Of it. Therefore
keep on doing good; be patient
