The Last Call for Reapers

By MRS. EDITH B. GOODRICH

MRS. EDITH B. GOODRICH
The last call for reapers is sounding to-day. Rise up! Like Elisha, leave plow, and away! Let those who are world-bound still stay by their stuff; The Master hath called thee, and that is enough.
Let nothing now hinder. Shake off every coil. Stand free, and go forth in the harvest to toil. See! see! the great fields are all waving and white; Go work while 'tis day, swiftly cometh the night.
All chains that have held thee must now be cast off; Let no one delay thee by frown or by scoff. Nor mother, nor father, nor loved one should stay That one who is called. Harvest hands — ho! away!
He calleth! He calleth! On far foreign shores The heathen are waiting with wide-open doors. Why stand ye here idle? Why longer delay? Rise up, O ye reapers, and hasten away.
