GLEANINGS

They gleaned in poverty their meager store,
Until their efforts yielded more and more.
And while they gleaned their scant supply of food,
They gleaned from God the stamina that stood
Against the elements and sterile soil
And nerved them in their never-ending toil,
So we today glean from their lives and deeds,
Inspiring thoughts to help our future needs.
-- C. N. LUND.
