Harvest of One Grain

The following account of a grain of wheat was taken from a reliable magazine several years ago, the substance of which is here given. Minnesota is a great wheat State. It all came from one grain of “Fife wheat” planted by a Scotchman. In 1881 he sowed one grain of wheat, which yielded twenty-two stalks, having five hundred and sixty grains. In 1882 he sowed the five hundred and sixty grains, and had a harvest of one-fifth of a bushel. In 1883 he sowed one-fifth of a bushel, which produced seventeen bushels. In turn this was sown in 1884, reaping a harvest of seventeen acres of the finest wheat. In 1885 he sowed one hundred bushels, reaping two thousand eight hundred bushels or four car-loads of fine wheat. See the growth! In four years one grain has increased to two thousand eight hundred bushels filling four cars, the wheat in turn made into bread to feed thousands of hungry people.
Think of it, dear friends, one grain in four years has multiplied so that thousands of hungry people can be fed.
One Testament or Bible sent out in the name of the Lord Jesus may prove the Bread of tile to thousands.
