"Sowing and Reaping “One soweth, and another reapeth.” [ John 4:37 .] The Saviour spoke these words in anticipation of the ordination and sending forth of His disciples. Throughout Judea, Christ had been sowing the seeds of truth. Clearly and distinctly He had outlined the plan of salvation; for the truth never languished on His lips. The earthly work of the great Teacher was soon to close. The disciples were to follow after, reaping where He had sown, that both the Sower and the reapers might rejoice together. GW 409"

"Today in His great harvest-field God has need of sowers and of reapers.
