What the skilful planter in God's Way plants

Can never be uptorn;

What his skilful arms enfold,

From him can ne'er be borne.

Sons shall follow in lengthening line,

Remembering him in prayer to God.

The Way when nursed within one's self,

His vigour will make true;

And where the family it rules

What riches will accrue!

The neighbourhood where it prevails

In thriving will abound;

And when 'tis seen throughout the state,

Good fortune will be found.

Employ it the kingdom o'er,

And men thrive all around.

3 In this way the effect will be seen in the person, by the observation of different cases; in the family; in the neighbourhood; in the state; and in the kingdom.

4 How do I know that this effect is sure to hold thus all under the sky? By this (method of observation).
