" Take heed" !"Everyman's work shall be tried.

We are laborers together
In the harvest-field for God;
Some may plow and some may harrow,
All may sow the blessed Word;
'Tis the precious seed that springeth,
And a plenteous harvest bringeth,-
'Tis our only weapon:this the Spirit's Word.

He that planteth, he that watereth,
Work together, e'en as one;
The reward shall be according
To the work that each hath" done.
Let us labor till the reaping,
For the judgment's surely creeping
On poor souls that through' our efforts might be won.

Through the Spirit's noiseless labor
God is building living stones ;
Let us be His willing helpers,
For our work He gladly owns:
We may give out many a warning-,-
We can tell of that glad morning
When forever this poor world shall cease its groans.

Let us faint not, nor be weary,
The foundation well is laid,
And we've only to be careful
To build "precious things," He said.
Let us work, then, not for hire,
But with love-constrained desire,
That the Master's last command may be obeyed.

(Don't forget the closet, brethren,-
Here is where so many fail !
Need we wonder if we're heavy,
Or our hearts begin to quail ?)
Let us pray, then, without ceasing,-
Look to God for the increasing;
Thus, on Him depending, we can never fail.

Then, if courage seem to fail us
With the smallness of our gain,
Just remember, God works with us,-
This will soothe all needless pain,
And the glorious harvest-morning
Will reveal (His crown adorning,)
Souls of those we never thought to meet again.
