Let us join with the reapers in glad jubilee,-- _Refrain._ Harvest home! (_double rep._) Let us chant His praise who has crowned our days With bounty of the harvest home. Who hath ripened the fruits into golden and red? Who hath grown in the valleys our treasures of bread, That the owner might heap, and the stranger might glean For the days when the cold of the winter is keen? Harvest home!

Tune, "Dort"--Lowell Mason. _MORNING._ "STILL, STILL WITH THEE." These stanzas of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, with their poetic beauty and grateful religious spirit, have furnished an orison worthy of a place in all the hymn books. In feeling and in faith the hymn is a matin song for the world, supplying words and thoughts to any and every heart that worships. Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. Alone with
