THE HARVEST CALL.

By Annie Teague

BY ANNIE TEAGUE.
Forth with the dayspring flies, Far o'er the wide plain's sweep, A swift-winged call that cries, “More laborers to reap!”
The yellow harvest stands; I see what great reward Awaits the willing hands That gather for their Lord.
And if I bring at length No garners running o'er, But, burdened as my strength, On me is laid no more,
What tho' the gift be small? Laid on that altar fair Where heavenly grace doth fall, Grows measureless and rare.
And so I heed the call, While yet the sunshine lies, Before the shadows fall 'Twixt me and paradise.
—Gospel Sickle.
