WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT?
  A farmer had an only son whose conversion was the subject of daily thought and prayer. The time of an evangelical camp meeting came before it was possible to finish the seeding. When the opening day came the farmer hitched up the wagon and invited the family to go to the meeting. "But Dad," said the boy, "you aren't going to leave the field by the lane unseeded? It will never be in as good form again this season." "The field will have to take its chances," replied the father. "The meeting has first place." The son was soundly converted. Less than a year later he lay dying, and as the father bent over him the boy's arms went around his neck, and with shining face, he drew him close. "Oh, Dad,” he whispered, "I'm so glad you let the field wait!"
