WORK FOR THE MASTER.

By P. Alderman

OH! why do we toil so late and so early? Toil for the mammon that worldlings have won— Toil for the things that will perish with using— And leave all the work for the Master undone?
Go to the sorrowing; heal the heart-broken; Love has a thousand sweet words of relief; Pity the erring ones. Did not our Saviour; Die for the sinner—even of sinners the chief?
Could we not lift from the careworn some burden? A smile for the weary may lighten his woe; If in the steps of the Master we follow, Errands of mercy we'll do as we go.
The field of his harvest is whitening around us, Lo! he is calling for laborers true. Watches he for us; the Lord of the vineyard Is watching and waiting for me and for you.
Shall we not heed him? His hand is bestowing Richest reward for the labor we give. Fain would he lead us up out of the desert, Stands he inviting us, Labor and live.
P. ALDERMAN. Windsor Mills, Ohio.
