" q me summer Of 1858 young teach
Boston passing to and from her
chD0l noticed the abundance of
flowers Ia the gardens of the rich.
! She Thought Of the ragged begger
ehildren Of the city streets and fell in
ia. the habit of carrying basket Of
flowers with her on her daily trips to
the city. These were distributed
I, among the little waits who were filled
With delight If perchance one flower
from the kind lady fell to their lot.
"a simple act simply done; yet it was
the beginning of a work that is broad
ening with each successive season of
bloom.
The story of the teacher aud her
flowers given to the city waits became
known, and was published in New
York paper. This paper found its
way to Jennie Casseday's quiet, sick
room.
s She was q bright, happy girl wholov-
ed the flowers as Gods messengers.
To gather and care for them was her
delight. Then in the brightness Of
/ youth came q dreadful accident. Her
i friends might we'll have looked upon
it as q cruel calamity. that her bright
spirit must be bound for life to a
crippled deformed body. Manyin her
place would have longed to die. How
hard 1t must have been to know that
each day meant for her suffering and
pain, shut In, in her own room, a pris-
oner from all the world. What her
life might have been we know not,
\ but we do know that in her weakness
she accomplished greater work than
many have in health and strength.
Soon she began to look upon her af-
Fiction as q blessing. Self was forgot
ten and she thought of the many who
4 were shut in, in less comfortable
homes. and without kind friends.
Doubly dear were the flowers now.
] She says:
They that can wander at will,
Where the works of the Lord are re-
yealed,
Little guess what Joy can be found
From cowslip out of the field.
I Flowers to these spirits imprisoned,
Are all they can know Of the spring;
They brighten and sweeten the world
Like the watt of an angles wing"
Reading of the Boston teacher she
thought and planned how flowers
might be distributed throughout
Louisville. That stck-room became
the center of hope and brightness for
many souls. Others came to her as
sistance and brought many boquets of
something bright, something white
and something sweet" Her rules for
making boquets Of flowers were sent
throughout the city. Soon the Flower
Mission became an organization.
Into this home came the w. CT. q.
Chieftan, Francis e. Willard, with her
quick discrimination and ability to re-
cognize talent. saw a broader field for
this quiet worker. The organization
Of the National Flower Mission fol-
lowed with Jennie Casseday as its
superintendent.
