LESSONS OF THE FLOWERS.
They Are the Great Teachers and Speak
Universal Language.

They Are the Great Teachers and Speak p
Universal Language.
"Nothing teaches us so much in this
world as flowers If we will only watch
them, understand the messages they ex-
hale and profit by thom," writes Edward
w. Box in The Ladies Home journal.
81 wish everybody OH this earth might
love flowers. Flowers can do so much for
man or woman. No one can raise
flowers, live among thom love them and
not bo better for their influence. BY their
birth they show us how, out of things
hard, out of disappointment and failure,
by the overcoming Of obstacles and the
bending to difficult tasks, creep forth the
most beautiful results. BY their cultiya-
tion they show how different natures need
different treatments. BY the manner in
which they refuse to thrive near weeds
they teach the cloarest lesson of human
association, and show that sin is an intru-
sion in this world We learn the great les
son that while the most gorgeous flowers
appeal to our admiration we love the
fragrant ones the best. Every lesson, ev-
cry pleasure, we can learn and derive from
these silent messengers Of tho earth. The
flowers speak a universal language They
adapt themselves to grave or gay. A flow
er is never misunderstood. We associate
flowers with all the joyous seasons of our
lives as well. Flowers often speak to us
when our own words seem powerless to
express what we really mean. They are
the daintiest bits Of Gods handiwork.
They call to us to caro- for them, to love
them, rowarding us with prodigality when
we respond to their beokoning. Their
message is divine. Like an April day,
shadow and sunshine is life. But so the
flowers grow, and we come to June by the
way of March. 4"
