THE INVITATION.

Come ye to the marriage supper; Come, O come, the feast is spread! Come ye to the living Water; Come, and taste the living Bread. But those bidden to the supper One and all made quick excuse; Houses, lands, and lowing cattle Seemed to them of greater use. Then the Master, filled with anguish, Lest the feast untasted go, Quickly through the lanes and byways Sent His servants to and fro, Searching out the poor and needy, Faint and weary, lone and lost, Bidding to His waiting supper, Without money, without cost. —Anon.
