l^).s Angeles, Cal., April 23.—The
Cowers of the springtime furnish the
!heme of this sermon, and from them
the preacher draws a lesson of divine
encouragement for the human race.
’Hie text Is Matt, vl, 28, “Consider the
lilies of the field.”
• Lilies! ‘Consider the lilies of the
field!’ No one can understand what
that command means unless that per-
bon has attended an Easter service in
southern California, as I have done,”
raid a dear friend to me many years
igo. “Why, in Los Angeles and Pase-
:lena they do not grow the sp.-l V lilies
as hothouse plants, as they do In Chica
go or New York. They do not look
upon the pistil of a oalla Illy as though
it were a pencil of solid gold and charge
eight, or ten, or twelve, or even fifteen
dollars per dozen for their ascension
lilies. But there me lilies grow almost
as plentifully as do the thistles on
Scottish moors or the shamrocks on
Ireland's hills. There all the ministers
have to do to insure Easter decoration
for their churches is to ask the mem
bers of their congregations to bring In
their lilies the Saturday before Easter
Sunday. And what is the result? The
lilies are brought by the armful and
In carriage loads. The only way I
ran describe their abundance is to com
pare them to the goldenrods, and the
bluebells, and the daisies, and the dan
delions growing in eastern fields in the
• ummer time. The Easter pulpits are
crowded with them. The organ loft
are crowded with them. They hang
over the galleries. They entwine them
selves about the church columns. The
Sunday school rooms as well as the
main auditoriums are filled with them.
Lilies, lilies, lilies everywhere! Oh,
you ought to go to southern California
to see the churches decorated with
lilies on Easter Sunday! Nowhere Is
another sight like it!”
When my friend spoke thus I was
not a skeptic. I did not ridicule her
statements. I had never been in south
ern California at that time, but I had
traveled around the world, and I had
seen the almost limitless wealth of the
wild flora of the tropics. In Honolulu
we were welcomed by friends who
came down to greet us with thousands
upon thousands of flowers. They en
twined them in our horses' hair and
harness. They covered our carriages
with them. They placed them In gar
lands about our necks. They tossed
them under our feet in the streets.
But notwithstanding my experience In
the east 1 was unable to realize tin
beauty of an Easter Sunday in south
era California until I myself had par
ticipated in such a service. No man
can appreciate the beauty of a Los
Angelos church until he sees there a
church building literally covered with
pure white lilies. Not a red leaf there,
only the white leaf and the green leaf
side by side. The lilies seemed not to
be lilies, but great curtains and crosses
and columns of white. On my first
Easter service the people brought s.»
many lilies for decorating purposes
that the ladies could not use them all.
Great piles of these white lilies ban
been thrown away as useless. Why
did we not send some of these lilies to
other churches? That would have been
a foolish waste of time. All the other
churches had just as many lilies on
baud as we had.
Tin* Lily of Chrint's Time.
Beautiful and abundant as are the
lilies of southern California, appropri
ate as they are as symbols of Christ’s
resurrection, I would not limit our
thoughts to them on this Easter morn
ing. It was not of such flowers as these
alone that Christ referred to when he
bade us consider the lilies. The lily of
Christ’s time was not, as many sup
pose, like the lily of the western world.
It was not the calla lily, with its cor
nucopia leaf and long pistil of gold; not
the lily of the valley, which looks like
a string of bells, ready to ring out the
Easter chimes; not the Bermuda lily,
with Its clapper of white, nor the water
lily, lifting its head above the river
Nile to be decapitated and pounded into
flour as tlu? modern husbandman
makes his wheat. Nor was It the huleh
lily, which Dr. Thomson, the oriental
traveler, describes as of such velvety
softness that the finest silk could not
be softer. The New Testament lily was
a name given comprehensively to all
the wild flowers of Palestine, as the
name "sparrow" embraced all the small
birds that winged their way above the
Judean hills. Thus, as my Easter text,
‘•Consider the lilies,” embraces all wild
flowers, 1 shall not hem in and circum
scribe my subject by the beatutiful
lilies which we find decorating our
churches this Easter day. In the sym :
bol of the growth of the wild flower I
shall try to find some practical gospel
lesson appropriate for this glorious
service of Easter luoru.
The wild flowers of Palestine, in the
first place, teach us that man, insi:.'
nilicant though be is, is nurtured ami
protected by a divine Father’s care, no
matter where he may be. They teach
us that if God takes the trouble to
plant and develop a little wild flower
God Is certainly willing to care for nod
dooi care for us. One day the gr< it
“wizard of Abbotsford” was found in
a Scottish ravine, down on his kne s.
with paper and pencil, drawing tl •
construction of the leaf of a wd -
flvwer. Some one said to him. “S ■
Walter, why are you spending re
time thus?” "Ah.” answered Sir . .
ter Scott, “I am studying the love of
my Maker for me In his care for this
little wild flower. If Gob is willing to
take the time to color this little leaf
and place It. In veins and arteries a-
perfect In construction as arc the veins
of my own body, If he Is at pains to
warm this leaf Into life and feed It and
give It drink, surely God Is willing tn
care and does can* for me, whom he
has made in bis own divine Image.''
Was not Walter Scott’s answer right?
Can we not find the love of God f »r
man demonstrated In God's care for
the wild flower of Palestine, which
Christ called lilies? Indeed on tids day
1 go further than this. I assert that no
man can fully realize the love and ten
derness of God unless he has seen them
plctorlallzed on the leaves of the wild
flowers. The poet preacher, Henry
Ward Beecher, said: “I do not believe
that any one can fully read the natural
world who does not read the Bible, and
1 am satisfied that no one can read tin*
Bible to the best advantage who does
not read the natural world a great
deal. These things are very much to
each other—what blossom is to fruit
and what germ is to blossom. One It'
not the cause of the other helps to pro
duce It. And so these two revelation",
the external and the internal, work to
gether and both work for the same
purpose.”
SymbolN of God’n Care.
Can you uot see God's love and care
for you in the looms which weave to
gether a rose leaf, in the strength of
the honeysuckle, which lifts itself
above the ground, clambering over tin*
sides of a wall or porch in order to
reach the light of the sun? Can you
not find God’s protection hovering over
you in the bristling thorns of the bush,
which guard the wild flower from the
reckless touch of an approaching foe?
Can you not fathom God's care lor you
by studying the roots that suck up the
strength out of the ground and tin* mar
velous chemistry which cau gather ou
of the same black soil the red for tlu
azalea, the "purple for the daffodil, the
blue for the heliotrope, the lavender
for the hyacinth, the pink for the car
nation and the while for the Illy?
Though there are millions and millions
of wild flowers every spring and sum
mer, though the fields may be covered
with dandelions and daisies tynd sun
flowers and goldenrod, yet each indi
vidual flower shows Go !‘s tender care,
whether It be the trailing arbutus hid
ing in the mountains or the sweet mi
gnonette and the bluebells and the for-
getmenots and all the frailer floral
beauties which are grown In the green
houses of the horticulturists. If Go!
cares for the inanimate things of this
world, for the many weeds like the
thistle, which the farmer tries to de
stroy; if God cares for the daisies,
which cannot speak; for the moon-
flowers, which only bloom at night; for
the sensitive plants, so sensitive that at
the least rough shaking of the winds
their petals will fly shut; for the pollen,
which is tossed in the air by the sum
mer breezes, that rose may be married
to rose, aster to aster, mignonette to
mignonette, clematis to clematis—sure
ly God does care for Immortal man, for
whom Christ was born and Christ died
and Christ was resurrected on Easter
day. Yes, God does care for you,
though you have been an invalid for
the last twenty years. He does care
for you, though a widow, and seeming
ly facing a life of financial struggle,
with a large brood ; f little ones at
your back. He cares for you, though
you seem at this moment not to have a
friend in all the wide, wide world. He
cares for you, I know it. This Easter
day Christ says: “Consider the wild
flowers of the fields. As I have cared
for the lilies, so I am caring for you.
oh, ye of little faith!”
Go<l Loves the Flowers.
Christ loves the Easter lilies. There
fore he - respects the work which those
Easter lilies are doing. As he comes
out of the tomb today he does not bend
over a little daisy or a fargetmenot
and say, “Oh, insignificant flower, why
are you not a chrysanthemum among
the flowers or a cedar of Lebanon
among the trees? Then the birds of the
air could come and build their nests
among your great branches. Then the
great beams of my cross could have
been cut out of the trunk of your tree.
Then a house could have been erected
from your wood near to my carpenter
shop in Nazareth.” Oh. no. Christ
would uot speak thus ou this Easter
day to a daisy. For if he did, the daisy
would look up and say: “Oh, risen
Lord, why art thou rebuking me? If
thou didst want me to do the work of
a cedar of Lebanon, why didst thou not
make it possible for me to grow into a
great tree?” Is a tortoise to be con
demned because it has to crawl and
has not the wings of a dove? Shall the
blind fish of the Mammoth cave of
Kentucky be upbraided because thou
; hast put out their eyes with centuries
: upon centuries of darkness? Shall the
bat bo slain because it has no ears with
\ which to hear or a trout be excommu
nicated from thy love and care becam e
It has no feet with which to climb thi*
river bank and walk dryshod upon the
land?
No, no. Christ honors the wild flown-
because it is willing to do the work of
a wild flower, as we should be willing
to do the work for which we were ere
atetl ami not for our attempting to do
the work which it is impossible for ns
to do. And yet as 1 wander in and om
among these Easter lilies how often do
I find men trying to win the divine
commendation, “Well done, thou good
and faithful servant,” when they have
neglected the work which God has
given them to do and have been trylnc.
ten, twenty, thirty years to do some
work for which they were never fit c l.
They are uot willing to do simple
work like that of the wild flowers—the
simple, beautifully colored, swee,
scented wild Cowers. They are always
trying for some position they cannot
attain. They are always dissatisfied
with what they nr*. Here, for Instance,
<s a young woman. She has a good,
ordinary, everyday brain. She is a
wife and a mother. But Instead 01'
Itaylng at home and looking after tin*
children and sharing her husband's
sorrows and cares she feels she must
be a Joan of Are or a Frances E. Wll
lard or a Jenny Lind. She Is persuade !
she has talents. She has had visions i’i
reference to her “true c areer.” No or
can dissuade* her from this Idea. S' <
she* runs around hither and thither an 1
absolutely fritters away her life In try
ing to be it cedar of Lebanon when :
God wanted bc*r to Is* a wild flower.
Here is a man who Is a good, ordi
nary, everyday simple preacher. If lie
would only be satisfied In the* position
God bad assigned him he would be
mightily blessed. But be* wants to be*
a cedar of Lebanon. He wants to be i
a Savonarola, a Thomas Chalmers or
a John Knox, or he hears some of the
great evangelists of the world, and Im
mediately he decides on going over In
to Macedonia to help the English, or
the Scotch, or tin* Welsh, or the Aus !
traliaus. And what Is the result? lie
mins his life for good because be Is
not willing to be a simple wild flower ;
In God's service.
Never lieMitise ilumltle PomIUmii.
Never despise your humble position
In life, because you are like the sim
ple wild flowers. When the second
advent comes and Jesus, as the Divine
Bridegroom, goes down among the
Easter lilies or the wild flowers the
Lord will not say unto the multitude
of his children: “Did you occupy a
great position In life? Were j*ou a
noted general, or king, or statesman?
Like Hannah More, did you wield a
brilliant pen? Like Mmcv de Recamier.
did you have a salon tilled with the
loading thinkers of your land?” He
will say, however: “Did you nestle, as
a clover top, among the green grasses,
as I commanded you? Did you lighten
the sickroom of some invalid when, at
my command, the messenger pluckc* .
you? Did you breathe out your fra
grance upon the* coffin lid while the
minister uttered tin* committal, ‘Ashes
to ashes, dust to dust?’ Did you make
the marriage altar sweeter and hold .
when the young girl plucked you in tlu*
fields and with your bright faces dec
orated the village church on the wed
ding day? Did you carry the message
of love between the angry brothers and
sisters and friends who had quarreled?
I made you wild flowers. I loved you
because you were wild flowers. As
Easter lilies, did you love and honor
me?”
Another Easter lesson. After we
have done our best, then, like the wil l
flowers, let us trust God that he will
do what is best for us. After we have
done our best we have no more right to
worry about our future than the wild
flowers have to worry where they are
going to get a drink or from what
quarter their daily meals are to Conn
or where they are to find their sunshine
or their nights in which to sleep. I find
all the more justification in the use of
this figure because at times it seems to
me that flowers, after all, are not mere
Inanimate objects, but have a certain
Intelligence of their own. They seem
to me at times to be almost human in
their desires.
,SuppoNe Flower* Could Speak.
Let us imagine for a moment that
the wild flowers can speak. What
would you think of a rose which two or
three times in a night should wake up.

ing: “Oh, it is so dark! I cannot see. I
wonder if I will ever have the sun
beams again kiss my cheek and make
me blush?” Oh, no. That is not the
rose's way. The rose says to herself
when she hears the angelus tolling in
the village: “Now It Is time for me to
say good night and go to sleep. I have
done a useful day’s work. I have made
honey for a dozen bees. I have made
the tired, sick mother, riding by in her
carriage, clap her hands for joy and
say, ‘Oh, what a beautiful rose!’ T

Paul de Longpre. 1 have well earned
my rest. God will awake me in the
morning. He will send to me the sun
shine In his own good time. I will now
say my prayers and go to sleep and
trust him.”
What would you think if all the wild
flowers on the Jerusalem hills on the
morning of the blackest of all Black
Fridays In the world’s history began
to weep and to cry and to beg. Sup
posing that we should hear them begin
to moan: “What is the matter? What
is the matter? Why is that great
crowd surging forth from yonder g itos
to crush us and trample our petals in
the dust? Why is this darkness over
the whole earth? It is not yet night.

Kaiser William Thinks Wealthy Amer

Now York, April 2ti.—A Naples ca

Wilhelm quitted the steamship Ham

company if the suite which had been
specially fitted up for his use on the
voyage was to be left as It was.
He was told that the suite would he
immediately dismantled.
The kaiser, according to the Frank

great pity, and will result In a con

DO YOU GET UP
WITH A LAME BACK ?
Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
1 Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
f the great kidney, liver
l
and bladder remedy.
- It is the great medi-
cal triumph of the nine-
jjH teenth century; dis-
P!l covered after years of
scientific research by
£Y=\i*i Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
lust the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
trusted as timepieces than the ancient j sample bottlesent freebymaii’aiso ahock
wooden clocks of the quaint farm
houses. These flowers die a short time
after the sun has set. Nearly all wil l

But, though man's life, like the lilie;. |
may be very short, his heavenly life, i
the resurrection life, is very long. I
Christ was only thirty-three years of j
age when he was crucified. But Christ ;
is today dwelling in heaven with our#
dear ones who have gone beyond. '
Mother, by the grave of your little
baby. I declare It. Husband, by the
grave of your dead wife, believe it.
Child, by the casket of your father and
mother, welcome this resurrection
truth. Our dear ones’ earthly live-
may have ended, but their heavenly
lives have Just begun. Oh, on this gin
rious Easter morn will you accept this
truth? By placing your hope In Christ,
who bids you trust him, as do the liliei
of the field, will* you not grasp tin*
promise of a heavenly resurrection?
Could we have a more beautiful sym
bol of the resurrection with which to
close this Easter service than the wild
flowers of the east? “Men often make
a thing ugly tirst and then cover it u >
with paint or paste or gilding to make
it beautiful,” once wrote an unknown
writer. “God never does so. You will
find no sham on his works. The shape
he gives to each creature Is Just that
which is fitted for it, and the color
with which he adorns it will never
wash off. In his great workshop trutl*
and beauty go together.” May the
beauty of the truth of the trusting
short lived Easter lilies be to us the
