We have enjoyed a week of delight
full weather. A clear sky, moist and
mellow earth, with vegetation growing
apace. The buds are bursting, and in a
little while the air will be freighted
with the fragrant atoms of the flowers
and filled with the melody of the birds.
Mother earth renews her youth, and
the world is ever young to the rising
generation. Let age renew its youthful
vigor and retain its Elasticity and elias
ticity by cheerful contentment, SYM
pathy with the young, an observance
of Physiological law and the gospel of
