Planting Hill by Hill.

By Guide to Holiness

"In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand."—Eccl. 11:6.
In God's furrowed fields around us, He has work for all who will; Those who may not scatter broadcast, Yet may plant it hill by hill. Yearning hearts are often near us, Conscious of their Spirit-need; These are hills prepared by Heaven To receive the precious seed. Shall we find these hills and plant them? Shall we scatter while we may? Or shall idle hands stand waiting Till the seed-time pass away? Glory waits the faithful workmen Who perform their Master's will; Then, O Christians! will ye weary Of this planting hill by hill? Soon life's spring-time will be over And its autumn days will come; Happy then will be those workmen Who have sheaves to carry home.
