IB ST TOPIC
OF TALK T
Spiritual and Earthly Har
vests arc of One Princi- .
pie, Says Dr. Taylor
The First Methodist church will
obserre the annual H arrest Festi
rai at both rooming and erenlnc
hours of worship today and Dr.
Fred C. Taylor has chosen subjects
appropriate to the harrest spirit.
Dr. Taylor will preachy upon
"Happy Harvesters" at the morn
las hour. The text and a synopsis
of bis sermon follows:
Text, Psalm 126:3-5 "The Lord
hath done great things for its
whereof we are glad. They that
now in tears shall reap In Joy. He
that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing preeloes seed, shall doubt
less come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him."
A beautiful, happy, oriental pa
toral scene is suggested in this
text. It is harrest time and the
reapers are bringing in their
heaves of golden grain with
thanksgiving and rejoicing in the
goodness of the God of the harvest
and the bountiful fruitage that has
come from their labors.
The Bible provides many allu
- alons to the fields of grain and
the labors of the tiller of the soil.
Yhe first occupation of the human
xaee is described as dressing the
garden and tilling the soil with
the promise of the seedtime and
harvest The Master teacher-illustrated
the growth of his king
dom by the parable of the soils.
He spiritualized the work of th
fields and taught the truths of
his religion. "Lift up your eyes
and look on the -fields for they
(are white already to harvest. And
'he that reapeth receiveth wages
and gathereth fruit unto life eter
nal, that both he that soweth and
ha that reapeth may rejoice o
gether." The good seed is sown
fa the soil of the soul and human
life becomes the field of God that
ball bring forth a harvest of
righteousness and holiness in Ms
Heart of Harvester
First, we have suggested in this
text what might- be termed the
heart of the harvester. He sows
tbe seed with an earnestness of
spirit and a sacrifice of life. All
Christian work should command
a fervency of spirit and passion of
heart from the worker. Cold for
malism and lifeless indifference
should have no place in the relig
ions life. Tbe seed is too precious
and the soil too productive and
the harvest too potential to per
mit any half-hearted service.
The Master sower and harvester
gave his life In sacrifice and tread
th wine-nrpAH alnn as an mmnlp
for all to follow. There must be a
spirit of tenderness, earnestness
and consecration to our task and
In all of our work. "They that sow
In tears shall reap in joy." Pau!
witnessed that with tears he
preached, the gospel and minister
ed to his churches. "Give me back
my tears" was the prayer of Col.
George Clarke, the founder of the
Pacific Garden Mission in Chica
go when he found his heart hard
eaag and his earnestness waning.
It was the passion of heart for
ao4la that made Moody. Vaaaar,
Booth and Chapman the success
ful harvesters for God. i
Joy of Reaping
Second, we have suggested here
thji harvest that is reaped by the
hrrresters. They reap in Joy and
come with rejoicing bringing their;
heaves with them. As God pledg
ed seedtime and harrest to the Hil
ar of the soil so he promised a
harrest to the worker in his vine
yard. No faithful, earnest effort
ball fail.
"As the rain cometh down and
,-jmow from heaven and retarneft.
' hot hither but watereth the earth
ad maketh It to bring forth and
bad that it might give seed to tlx?
aower and bread to the eater, so
ball my word be, that procedetb
ut of my month. It shall not re
turn unto me veld but it shall
accomplish that which I please and
t shall prosper in the thing where
to I sent it."
A spiritual harvest la assured on
the same principle and authority
aa the earthly harvest. Paul wrote
"Lat us not weary la well doing
for we shall reap it we faint not.
It may require years of earnest
toll or effort but the day is prom
ised when we return bringing the
ab eaves with us. The harrest may
asean noble purposes, high ldealtt.
Christian character or the fruit
of the spirit In the life, but It be
forthcoming as the fruitage of tb
sowing of truth and prayer and
consecrated service.
Third, we hare the happiness ol
- the harvester. He reaps with Joy
and comes again with rejoicing
Harvest tune is joy time, it is a
time of thanksgiving and gladness
The Joy of labors rewarded, of
4boMen grain safely gathered, of
warlchlng other Urea, always comes
to the faithful harvester. As Ru
therford wrote of his pastorate al
An worth:
If one soul from An worth
Meets me at God's right hand
My heaven will be two heavens
In Immannel land."
