Levi H. Dowling

“ He called the weary toiler and he said, My brother, know you not that just below the surface of your barren field rich treasures lie concealed?
17. You plough and sow and reap in scanty way, and day by day you tread upon a mine of gold and precious stones. ”

“ Behold, a master comes, and tells them of a hidden wealth; that underneath the rocky soil of carnal things are treasures that no man can count;
23. That in the heart the richest gems abound; that he who wills may open the door and find them all.
24. And then the people said, Make known to us the way that we may find the wealth that lays within the heart.
25. And Jesus opened up the way; the toilers saw another side of life, and toil became a joy. ”

“ Toil should not make a person sad; men should be happiest when they toil. When hope and love are back of toil, then all of life is filled with joy and peace, and this is heaven. Do you not know that such a heaven is for you? ”
