And when the lad was grown, it fell on a day that he went out to his father, to the harvest time.

Wherefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest."

And he said unto them, "The harvest is great: but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into his harvest.

And the enemy that soweth them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers be the angels.
