WORK FOR ALL.

By Mrs. E. E. S. B.

“Why stand ye here all the day idle?” Matt. 20:6.

In the market place why stand ye, Idling all the golden day, While the Master's vineyard needs thee, Pruning withered boughs away?

Haste ye to the field of labor, Where the Master shall approve; And the rubbish that encumbers, Nerved with quickened zeal, remove.

Teach the erring child the waymarks God has left us in his word, All his holy, pure commandments, All the ways of life to heed.

Sow the seeds of truth unsparing, All the precepts of his word; Ask his guidance and his blessing, That no error may intrude;

Ever at his footstool kneeling, Seeking grace from day to day, That the Holy Spirit, guiding, May direct thee in the way.

And a blessing on thy labor Shall attend each earnest prayer, That the vineyard of the Master Bloom for fruitage everywhere.

MRS. E. E. S. B.
