Chapter 243:
All Types Labor in the Harvest
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. My beloved, be advised: I tell you that death stalketh for those
who do linger by the wayside whilst the fields are heavy with
the harvest of abundance.
2. Arise and be about your Father’s business. Bind up the
broken heart, do good unto those who do unto you an injury.
3. Take up your crosses and bear them nobly; reach high
into the heavens, take ye down an ensign; bear it nobly; wave
it loftily.
4. Be ye of good cheer, for presently I come among you to do
unto you a service.
5. My brethren, be advised: the enemy stalketh, he croucheth
as a lion, verily he teareth the throats of the soft ones; he
roareth, he blasphemeth;
6. I tell you that he doth you no injury whilst ye are about your
Father's business.
7. Only in that ye labor not, but verily fall into wayside
mischiefs, doth the evil beast tear you; for he perceiveth your
goings and your comings; he saith to himself:
8. Behold I cannot outwit those who go in a straight line;
for those who tarry I have a thorn, behold I have a claw that
is evil; I tear them down for their courses are wayward; thus
they fall in my pathway.
9. Behold I do no evil unto those who walk uprightly for lo, do
I fear them; they have an errand, they observe a purpose, they
make no pausings to consult on their coursings;
10. They perceive a lean land and presently they fill it; they call
up water from cooling depths; they give it unto those whose
throats have a thirstiness.
11. Behold and are not these the Anointed of old? are not
these the princes, that they minister unto paupers? what have
I of them, for in the craft of their princely offices mayhap they
have barbs with which to sting me;
12. I will go my way and leave them in peace lest they do
a witchery unto me for which I have no armor.
13. My beloved, taunt not, boast not, give neither aid nor
comfort unto the enemy by exclaiming at his prowess, for lo, he
hath no prowess except an evil mind which beareth him far
away from the huskings, that taketh him afar off from the
gathering into barns.
14. Hear my words and be wise: Too long have I labored in
the vineyard of the world not to know its laborers. I say they
are blessed.
15. Too long have I gone hither and yon among men not to
know the true ones, not to hear their cries for the blessedness
of self-assurance in that which they would perform unto mine
honor, yea unto my glory.
16. Yet I bid you to be wise with the gentleness of doves.
17. The enemy soareth now, yea even as the eagle. He
teareth with his talons, he hooketh with his beak; I say he
teareth the throats of those who would flee before his downward
flight.
18. I say that he cometh unto you and yet he lingereth not.
He maketh a foul pestilence to glisten in the noonday heat and
attract the vultures of his kind.
19. But what attracteth he, beloved, that is of the fruits of
a righteous harvest? what gaineth he but that which is
rancid? what performeth he but the vultures' spread of carrion,
that hath an evil aspect so that men do turn from it or cover it
as offal?
20. In the heat of noon harvest there are those who labor
nobly, there are those who work for farthings, there are those
who say, Lord, take the labors of my hands because I have an
affection and a drawing toward Thy mission.
21. There are those who work for pence; there are those who
work for love; there are those who work for glory when the
harvesters gather in.
22. Treat with them as brethren; have compassion on their
weakness; do them no harm that they work in a blindness;
forswear them no endeavors when they raise their eyes to a
greater harvest-field and say, Mayhap, my brethren, I belong
over yonder for the harvest is greener and my scythe moweth
cleaner.
23. All sorts and conditions of men are represented in any
harvest-field, beloved: some garner for glory, some take their
pittance and seek out the quaff-cup.
24. I say that it behooveth you to know your labors, but it
behooveth you more to say: Those who come unto me are sent
for a price, I will make of them laborers no matter what it cost
me, for we labor together and the end is Benediction.
25. Be cautious, beloved. Treat ye with no man merely in that
he saith, I am here and would labor. Say unto him, And what
wouldst thou labor at, that the harvest may be gathered?
26. Hear him tell his tale and then say unto him: It is meet that
we be about our Father's business; pick up your sickle and
proceed unto the cutting.
27. It pleaseth me, beloved, that there are those who labor,
even at their prices, for after all the harvest ennobleth.
28. Man cometh and goeth on the eternal threshing-floor of
Love; he proceedeth to his high calling that hath the vision of
the eagle. He climbeth up and falleth not. He maketh himself a
vineyard in the midst of plenty and sojourneth there with those
who are dear to him.
29. So be it ever. Come and go as I tell you. When the battle
groweth hot, recall that I too fought it, yea did I go the whole
way before you and naught which ye encounter is unknown to
my wisdom.
30. Proceed and be brave, be doughty, be determined. Call
not upon the enemy for succor but give him of your arm
presented in a contest. Lo, the laborers gather in and the
harvest pileth richly.
31. My blessing upon you for being great in your visioning; my
peace be upon you for taking of small things and computing
them to great; the leaven of the morrow is the yeast of noble
effort put into the cake which ye do knead hourly.
