“CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS.”

By Mrs. L. D. Avery Stuttle

Patiently wait, my brother, Banish thy doubts and fears, Though in the dark be hidden Seed that was sown in tears. Cast thy bread on the waters deep, By-and-by thou shalt surely reap.

Cast thy bread on the waters, Cheerfully give thy mite, What though the misty shadows Cover the sun from sight? Thy reward shall be sure at last, If on the waters thy bread be cast.

Turn not away from the needy, Give to the hungry bread, Comfort the saddened spirit, Lift ye the drooping head; For thy bread on the waters cast Thou shalt find, when the day is past.

Why dost thou idly loiter? Up, there is work to do! Work in the Master's vineyard, Work for the good and true. Sweet shall be thy reward at last, If on the waters thy bread be cast.

MRS. L. D. AVERY STUTTLE.
