Analyses of sing lie phenomena, the
concentration Of the mind on Individual
productions OF nature, each at time
may lead to materialism, just as brood
ing on certain principles of spiritual
life may promote pessimism or skeptic-
ism. The conception of the whole as it
presents itself cannot fail to produce a
belief in an omnipotent wisdom which
embraces all, rules and maintains all
that is; it cannot fail to awaken con-
seriousness of the harmony which cheers
and sweetens life, which elevates man
above the human, the individual, and
brings him nigh unto Him, by whose all
embracing wisdom he exists.

THOUGHTS and FANCIES
CHAPTER III. (COntinned.)

The flower by itself has no joyousness

OH the disposition and sentiments Of the
person looking at it, on the recollections
or the association Of ideas which the
sight Of the flower awakens in his mind,
whether it 5c motor of cheerful or of
sad thoughts whether it provoke JOY
or sorrow. The same IS the case with
everything which has become associated
with the thoughts of a human being. [
once knew an old tailor to whom the sight
of an old pair Of shears was the cause of
arouslne thoughts He had vast ex-
pericnce in life and had travelled much
Although quite untutored-he could
not even read or write his brain was
active and he was fond Of making re-
Elections on subjects which were beyond
MS immediate connections. liked to
nave chat with him or rather to hear him
chat for there was an originality, pc
cuhar vim in his remarks which no
book reading can give. And ali the
stories he could tell and the ideas he
would connect with them, would in
variably be related to something of
which the sight of shears reminded him.
His instrument was. so to say his bible
from which he drew the texts for the
expression of his thoughts on any sub
iect. It is no wonder then that preach
ers who have devoted their best
thoughts on the bible, that unparalleled
book of humanitys spiritual cravings,
should find therein suggestions for the
best morals and ethics they can teach.
1t is less wonderful that person en-
dowed with poetical inspiration should
find in natural phenomena like flowers
subjects Of thought and reflection. Be-
side this, flowers though soulless. speak
TO the human heart language which
everyone eau understand; they are, as
it were, the inscription of the universal
mind which has shaped the destinies Of
man in every corner OF the earth, in
every walk of life. The snow-lily which
refreshes the eye Of the dweller in
the frigid zone, and the blazing sun
flower which dazzles the Beduin in the
torrid equatorial regions, they both speak
one and the same language, the language

True love he has betrayed;
Pure love he could not value;
There is for him no love;
He has no hope forever"

This poem was written by one of my
best friends, Of whose poetical gifts |
thought very much once upon time
but at whose head | would throw some
thing if he we're so attempt publish
ing such poetry again.
Only in one instance the Bible refers
to the fragrance of a flower (the Narcis)
and then even in sort of a roundabout
way. The fragrance Of the field" or
the fragrance Of the garden is more
general term of the Bible. Hebrew is
a natural language and is not adaptable
to fine individual disquisitions. Indeed
the peculiar oder Of certain flowers is
not appreciated by every one alike. The
fragrance of roses causes headache to
some, the smell OF honeysuckles and
violets causes nausea to others. 1t is, so
to say, the har nony otthe various odors
of several kinds of flowers blending to-
gether in the free air which makes the
field and the garden so agreeable to the
smell Not only the smell Of flowers but
also that of weeds, fruits and perhaps
also that Of odiftrous insects and ami
mails must blend together Thus like
the harmonious blending Of colors and
forms which charms Che eye, like the
harmonious blending Of sounds which
charms the ear, there must be a har-
monious blending of odors to charm
the sense of smell The man is to be
pitied, indeed, who cannot see that
there is harmony, Il oneness in nature.
And if it be the soul Of man in which all
the various phenomena concentrate and
produce the harmony, there is the
heavenly oneness in that soul, which
points to the One, breath of whose
spirit the soul is.
