Sowing and Harvest

By C. B. Allen

HARVEST follows seed-sowing. What shall the harvest be? Why, in kind as the seed scattered, wheat from wheat, weeds from weeds. The law is the same also in spiritual agriculture. To harbor unholy thoughts, sinful desires, and to be dominated by evil passions, leads inevitably to death. To think fine thoughts, cherish holy desires, to receive God's Word, and to regulate life by it, will result in joy, strength, peace — life eternal. The harvest is sure. It may be scant because the seed, falling upon hearts trampled hard by a thousand worldly interests or thronged with the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches, can not grow. It will be abundant when the seed falls into receptive and responsive hearts.—C. B. Allen.
