Vol. XIV AUGUST, 1912 No. 8 The Two Seas {A Parable of giving and hoxrding) There is a sea which, day by day, Receives the rippling rills,And streams that spring from wells of God Or fall from cedar hills;But what it thus receives, it gives With glad, unsparing hand,And a stream more wide with a deeper tide Pours out to a lower doth it lose by giving? Nay, Its shores and beauty seeThe life and health and fruitful wealth Of Galilee. There is a sea which, day by day, Receives a fuller tide,And all its store it keeps, nor gives To shore nor sea beside;What gains its grasping greed! Behold Barrenness round its fruit of lust but apples of dust, Rotten from rind to core;Its Jordan water turned to brine Lies heavy as molten lead,And its dreadful name doth ever proclaim That sea is—Dead! —Unidentified. ^m ^ f,0 H W48* SSSs ^ ^ M The Missionary Visitor A MONTHLY PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OP THE GENERAL CONFER-ENCE OF THE CHURCH OF THE BR
