We shall be glad that is to find out how we may make our Harvest Thanksgiving a real rejoicing before god: how we may so thank Him as that He may accept our thanks: and how our joy and thanks giving for this earthly harvest may be carried on to that other, the Harvest Of earth, which we know draweth near, of which the end Of the world shall be the Harvest Home, and we ourselves the Fruit, and the angels Of god the Reapers.
