What Shall the Harvest Be?
H
‘‘For whatsoever a man sowetb, that shall
/ i
also reap.”—Galations VI:7.
This is an unchanging law, just asunchangx
ing as the law of gravity.
If we sow wheat we reap wheat, if we bow
or plant corn we reap corn. A handful of wheat
would not.feed a family, but if sown and ferti-
9
lizod would yield a sufficient amount to feed a
large family several days.
The above is just as true with money as
anything else. We want to accumulate money
and the best way to do it is to plant it by, de-
/
positing it in a good safe, strong bank, like ours
where it will accnmulate and grow.
Let us help with your money crop.
