For God is a God of truth, and no liar shall stand in his sight, let him be never so religious; he requires truth in the inward parts, and truth he will have; and whom he loves he will chasten, as he chastened Jacob of old, till he has made him understand that honesty is the best policy; and that whatever false prophets may tell you, there is not one law for the believer and another for the unbeliever; but whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap, and receive the due reward of the deeds done in the body, whether they be good or evil.
At the word "true" he paused a moment, and touched with his finger an old black volume on one of the book-shelves. "'Stern, true, whether Euripides says 'cubit for cubit, or Moses 'an eye for an eye, or Solomon that 'he that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind. Stern, true; for surely that which a man sows he shall also reap." After a while he went up-stairs and talked with Mrs.
Every farmer and poultry-grower knows that some hens are better with chickens than others more motherly, more careful and rear a greater number of their brood. The same is true of sows with pigs. Some sows will eat their pigs, and wild animals in cages often destroy their young. Some ewes will not own their lambs, and occasionally a cow will not own her calf.
The men were obliging and tried to find scrub-women, but the poor things are afraid of the plague." "Such rumors grow like wire-grass," cried the doctor. "Nobody sows it, yet who can uproot it when it is once here?" "Neither you nor I," replied the priest. "The young lady must be brought into this room at once; but it looked neglected, so I've just set it to rights.
Nature never asks any questions nor makes any allowances. To her mind, sin is sin! Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. Whether he yield to evil voluntarily or be driven into it by resistless force; whether he sin because of a self-originating propensity or because his father sinned before him, is all one to those resistless executors of Nature's law, sickness, sorrow, disaster, death!
Then the one in the center chooses "one in," and returns herself to the circle. The game goes on as before. Oats, peas, beans and barley grows, Oats, peas, beans and barley grows, Nor you nor I nor nobody knows, How oats, peas, beans and barley grows, Thus the farmer sows his seed, Thus he stands and takes his ease, Stamps his foot and clasps his hands, And turn around to view his lands.
They who perished that Italy might be born again, dreamt of other things than old savagery clanging in new weapons. In our day there is but one Italian patriot; he who tills the soil, and sows, and reaps, ignorant or careless of all beyond his furrowed field. Whilst I was still thinking of that memorial tablet, I found myself in front of the Cathedral.
The country which seeks to purchase temporary security by yielding to unjust pretensions, buys present ease at the expense of permanent honour and safety. It sows the wind to reap the whirlwind. I have said elsewhere what I repeat here, that it is better to fight for the first inch of national territory than for the last.
In his own unpleasant way Fred Gregory had made a case for his sister that tied their hands, and the crux of the matter had lain in his final gibe: "As a man sows, Clark, so shall he reap." The moral issue was there. "I suppose the Hines story goes by the board, eh?" he commented after a pause. "Yes. Except that I wish I'd known about him when I could have done something.
Can you not see that whatsoever a man sowest, that shall he reap; and that he will reap in the field where he sows, and not in some other; and that God is dealing fairly, justly, tenderly, truly, with you in giving you the results at which you aim, and not the results at which you do not aim?
