Witnessing With Tracts

It's only a tract! You may tear it,    And crumple it up in your hand; The wind, as it passes, may bear it    And scatter it over the land. It's only a tract! You may spurn it,    And deem it unworthy a thought; May ridicule, trample, and burn it,    Despise it, and set it at naught. It's only a tract! But it telleth    Of holiness, happiness, heaven; Where God in eternity dwelleth    With sinners His love has forgiven. It speaks of a future in glory,    Of present enjoyment and bliss; And will you neglect such a story,    So loving, so...

Drop a pebble in the water,   Just a splash and then it's gone,But there's half a hundred ripples   Circling on and on and on.Spreading, spreading from the center   Flowing on out to the sea;And there's no way of telling   Where the end is going to be.

What was accomplished yesterday?   What are you doing now?Do you not see how great the need?   Get busy with the plow! Turn up the soil and sow the seed,   Water it with much prayer;You'll be surprised how much 'twill yield,   Good ground will richly bear. There are vast fields in this great land   That waste and idle lie;Abundant fruit they could bring forth—   But time is going by. And friend, while souls are perishing,   Are you not fast asleep?Or with the world so much engrossed,   You do not care...
