''All thoughts, rill passions, all delights

These are the songs of birds hi live
trees?the flowers by the waysidt that j
comtort us in the jcwrwy of life. Song
birds *nd flowers! There iB nothing iu
the wide world that given such eraphneis
to the love of (iod for His creatures.
We need food and raiment and. of
course, the human family would perish
' without them. But bird* and flowers
the extra gifts to minister to our senses.
our emotions. How fortunate for
us that as we grow older we love them
better. When 1 was a very busy inaa
and had ambition to rise in the world
and advance my wife and children I
rarcd little for birds or flowers, but
now they are my especial pleasure.
Now I understand the meaning of that
beautiful verse, "Consider the lilies
how they grow. They toil not. neither ,
do they spin, yet Solomon in all Ins j
- glory waa not arrayed like one of !
these." -lie who providelh food for ravens
and takes notice of every sparrow
that falls to the ground will suiely
take care of us if we trust Him. 1 believe
there are hut two kinds of flowers
named in the Bible?the rose of Sharon
and the lily of thh valley?and
these two stand preeminent today for
beauty and fragrance. Of late I have
. been watching the rosebuds as they
unfold their leaves and open into beau

upon the little cone nnd every layer is
waiting for its time and turn to come
forth and breath the air and take on
colors from Clod's sunlight. No human
Angers could refold them and make a
hud nirnln. The birth of a beautiful rose
is a miracle. It- passes comprehension
and excites our wonder only. Just so is
the feather of a bird. Toe microscope
shows tho most Wonderful mechanism
in its delicately woven fabric?its
strength nnd Its gossamer lightness.
Then look carefully at the frame work
of the seed pods that shoot rip from the
dandelion. Human fingers cannot approach
them In s'ructure. They arc exquisite
and must come from the hand
of (rod. There is a limit to the perfec:
tlorv of everything that Is made by
m/in. but there Is none to the works of
nature." The finest cambric needle looks
like a blunt pointed Alo under the microscope,
but the point of a bee's sting
Is Invisible. 1 wish that the young
folks would sometimes stop and think
and study nature. It would refine them

reverence for their Creator. How beautifully
the great poets wrote ah nit I
flowers. Ons says, "The humbli st flower
that blooms sometimes gives thought
too deep for tears." "And 'tis my faith
that every flower enjoys tin? air it
breaths.' Some flowers seem vain and
sonic are modest. From my window 1
see the rainbow cannas and the proud
and lofty dahlias struttintg to the
moming sun and not far away are the
humble violets half hiding from the
light. Tennyson says. "Any nose can
ravage the scent of a flower, hut only
the oure in heart have a right to." I
am an early riser and every bright
morning I visit the garden and inspect
the flowers that the night has oprne I
