Page 36 - I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away ; and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Page 35 - The pil'd-up stacks of corn ; And send the fancy wandering o'er All pleasant harvest-fields of yore. I feel the day — I see the field, The quivering of the leaves, And good old Jacob and his house Binding the yellow sheaves ; And at this very hour I seem To be with Joseph in his dream. I see the fields of Bethlehem And reapers many a one, Bending unto their sickles' stroke, And Boaz looking on ; And Ruth, the Moabite so fair, Among the gleaners stooping there.

Page 24 - I know, it might be so. For to church it never went. What with excise, and such device, The kingdom doth begin To think you'll leave them ne'er a cross. Without doors nor within.
Page 36 - WE bent to-day o'er a coffined form, And our tears fell softly down; We looked our last on the aged face, With its look of peace, its patient grace, And hair like a silver crown. We touched our own to the clay-cold hands. From life's long labor at rest; And among the blossoms white and sweet, We noted a bunch of golden wheat.
