A Bunch of Flowers.

Cast all your care upon Him for He careth for
you" 1 wonder who wrote those words? They
are neatly written in a feminine hand and at
tached to a bunch of liIacs. They came from the
w. C. T. U. and those words were written by the
white hand of a woman, little thinking they would
come to me, but knowing they would cheer some
lonely heart; perhaps awake some tender recol-
lection of a mother, wife sister. Have they
filled their mission? Yes, thousand fold and
while life lasts, though dark and rugged be my
path. no act of mine shall ever wrong a woman;
no kind word go unspoken Through all my life
thus far have ever seen her in the field of duty,
ever ready to cheer the sorrowing. ever ready to
comfort those in pain and lift up the fallen. l
have seen her on Bonded knees beseeching loved
| one to turn from evil; in the dirt and poisonous
| odors of the saloon praying for the degraded and
wretched; in pestilence, facing death to comfort
the suffering. She is the light of mankind, the
hope of our civilization Always patient and for
giving steadfast and loving brave and selfsacri-
fcng. The most sacred ties of life INSOFAR
ably linked with her love and honor. There is
nothing in life in death, in the hope of etern
ity, that can rend US from her.
The foregoing was handed us Sy one OF the in
mates, and is only Of many expressions of
gratitude we heard from the boys as we passed
of flowers sent in by Misses Matte Smith, Georgia
Meads, Geneva jerks. Grace jerks, Molie Rob-
ertson, Minnie Butts. and Miss Hathaway, mem
bers of the W.C.TU. of Saltwater. This is of
the missions of the w. C. T. T. and has its origin
in of those strange acts Of the afflicted.
brought to think of the unfortunate by their own
cherries surroundings lady, Miss Jennie
Cassidy. of Louisville, KY, lay upon her invalid
bed and thought of this means of casting a ray of
happiness into the lives of those who cannot go to
natures gardens for the fragrance and cheer of
flowers. In June of every year the committee
appointed for this purr ose, visits the prisons ails
and other places Of retention, and gives to each
inmate bunch of flowers. If they could have
heard the expressions of God bless them,' 81
love flowers" etc. and the grateful looks upon
the countenances of men who have little to make
life worth living, it would have amply rpeaid
them for the effort OF preparing the flowers.
This is the first time that Flower Mission Sun
day has been observed in this institution, but we
hope it will not be the last.
