righteous will, and each of us in his place, work out that high purpose of 

 God that put us in the place. 



Be pleased, Lord God, to help us all to remember that there is a 

 great vineyard, and that the call comes to every one, some good work in 

 the vineyard to do. Let each one of us be found faithfully responding to 

 that call, so that by and by, when we come to the harvest home, we shall 

 come bringing our sheaves with us to joy and re joice in the harvest feast, 

 and to receive the commendation of Him who is our Great Master and 

 our righteous Lord. 



We ask it all in the name of Christ, the Redeemer. Amen.

 Hoard of Wisconsin, who we always like to hear, but he wired: "Can't be 

 with you at Rockford," so you see the Committee has tried to supply the 

 work, but death and sickness is something to which we all must bow. 

 We have others with us who have been asked to substitute for the fore- 

 noon. 



The work is along the dairy lines especially this morning and also be-
