WORK FOR THE MASTER.

By Mrs. P. Alderman

BY MRS. P. ALDERMAN.
No time have we for idle dreams, This world with busy labor teems; The Master's work so far behind— The good from evil to unbind, And let the oppressed go free.
Dear sister, brother, can we wait, And share the slothful sinner's fate? In stupor, like the Saviour found,— Disciples sleeping on the ground, In cold Gethsemane!
It should be joy to work for Him Who saves us from the curse of sin,— Now in the harvest time to stand With willing heart and ready hand, To do his blessed will.
Who would not bear some noble part, And work with consecrated heart, Bringing in the precious grain? Though cares may wound us while we glean, For courage let us pray.
The curse of sin is everywhere, No spot on earth like Eden fair,— The Eden of the olden time, The earnest of that blissful clime All glorious and rare.
