"Consider the lilies, how they I
pow." This divine Injunction means tl
iksi * .....
kiim we are not simpiy to look at a
them admiringly, but to look into fli
them, expend thought upon them and g
explore their spiritual meanings. tc
The lily in its beginning is a very
anpromising plant. It starts from an r<
ugly bulb, in size and shape like an si
onion. Treasured in its bulbs is a reserve
of nutriment. Its root is in it- ir
self. h
It can grow in hard places. So the cl
best people, who have the real stuff w
xnd stamina in them, will bloom on in si
the world though not act in an Eden
garden.
. The lilies of the field are not idle;
* they grow and grow in trustful grace.
They trustfully lay hold of the sun
and air. The nourishment of the soil
Bpreads about their roots and the
gentle night mist brought upon the
wings of God's winds wrap them with
t coolness and refreshment.
These lilies trustfully lay hold of
these things and grow and so fulfill
the meaning of their lives. The Mas
ter'B argument is thiB: What does
not belong to the lilies belongs to us.
The lily's mission is to stand still and
grow. To us it is given to fill our
lives with industry. There Is no comfort
for idleness here.
Babies, sick and infirm persons
may live as the lilies do and he cared
for as they are, but hearty people,
with active brains and strong hands,
will be poorly cared for if they live
the lily's way.
The lilies are satisfed with the
place in which God hai put them.
Though there are flowers out in the
middle of the garden, the lilies do
not fret at their lot. Though some
are larger, the lily is satisfied with
being a little plant that can grow in
the shade and, though the roses have
their marvelous red, the lily is satisfled
with the pure white. And so we

Don't worry.
He was a wise traveler, who, when his
horse died, said: "Well, I must
walk now," and trudged on cheer- 8
fully, ~et a great many people would ^
have sat down beside the dead horse b
and spent days in bemoaning their
loss. Sadness unfits us for duty.
Regret never restores what has been
taken away. James Whitcomb Riley
sweetly sings: A
Oh heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry bo. ?
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have, you know. T
? What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow's driving "rain, T
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known;
When our tenrs fell with the shower, n
All alone. g
Were not shine and Rhadow blent
As the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With llis own. b
Our worst misfortunes never befall r<
us. They exist only in a diseased im- tl
agination. It is easy to see through n;
one pane of glass, but through ten
pieces placed one on the other we bl
cannot see Thta h??>o -

We called upon to look through more b<
than one at a time. m
The lilies love to grow In retired gi
places?they stay in the background.
You will find tbnni all alone in the se- n
elusion ot their shady retreat. w
"When the lily grows it hangs its S3
head as though it wanted to hide it- m
self, and when its beautiful flowers h
have reached their full growth they
hang their heads as if ashamed of el
their beauty, and felt as though they m
haC nothing to be proud of ? as n<
though Ood had meant the form and 01
attitude of this flower to teach us hu- m

which all heavenly virtues shoot.
