Work for All in God's Vineyard
Matthew 20:6
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why stand you here all the day idle?


A good minister, now in heaven, once preached to iris congregation a powerful sermon founded upon the words, "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" The sermon did good to many, among whom was a lady who went to the minister the next day, and said, "Doctor, I want a spade." We should be happy to put spades into the hands of all our idle friends. There are Sunday-school spades. Mission-room spades, Tract-distribution spades, Sick-visitation spades, etc.. etc. Who will apply for them?
