There were some beautiful flowers at the Methodist Church on Sunday, , and nothing could be more appropri ate than using them to adorn the house set apart for the worship of the Creator. They are the work of his hands, and the contemplation of their purity and beauty brings us nearer to the source of ail good, and lifts up the heart in adoration of Him who not only created the flow ers for our enjoyment, bnt whose - fiat of omnipotence called countless worlds into •existence. Ami what a lesson do they teach, from the hum ble violet that blooms beneath our feet to the queenly rose and stately lily, they all have their mission, and, though silent, as truly speak the praise of God, as the feathered songs ter whose joyous notes fill the air with melody. Flowers can be truly said to be the universal coin of love and kindness, and they bear sweet messages of remembrance to those we love. They are appropriate at all times and under all circumstances; in the time of rejoicing or of mourn ing. We adorn our homes with them, we use them at the wedding feast, we adorn the Temple of the Most High with flowers, we send them as messengers of forgiveness to our ene mies, we pluck the choicest blossoms for our friends, and when those we • love are called away, when pain and sorrow cease, with tender and rever ent hands we place flowers on the heart that has ceased to beat, and with an unspoken prayer our hearts are lifted up to God, that the eyes, now closed on earthly scenes, may be opened amid the flowers of Paradise.
