Gently. ever so gently, with footsteps
light. the days of Lent pass by. From the
red-aushed east they come bearing in
golden urus, their hours OF pain and glad
ness. And of these, each has his share
loared without the asking, loaned 10 be
nut TO the best account. and then returned
untarnished This is our Lenten mission.
High in the tree tops the young birds
ohirp; within deep woods the flowers BIOS
som. the lsaves awaken, the grasses raise
their he Timid at first and faltering
then. stronger grown with time and effort,
10! the birds chirp is become song, the
bud full-blown flower; the leaf no long
er tender. the grasses frm and tall. Each
has its trial. each sings its little song;
and ever, over all the breeze blows soft
" and the cloud-forms drift. The hours
are with us. and when twilight comes we
have grown to learn of the birds, aud the
flowers ana the grasses, of all small
things We find sermons in stones and
books in the running brooks" This is our
Lenten lesson.
Usually in our climate one wakes early
in April and finds it is summer, but this
season we are enjoying the delights Of a
real spring. The park, with its dogwood
trees beds Of pansies and hyacinths and
masses of pink azaleas, is at its lowell
est and everywhere is seen the beauu-
full purple wisteria. Easter Sunday will
find Savannah in accord with nature.
Mankind or more accurately speaking,
aDly ind will no a
glory of spring attire. A man generally
confines his Easter preparations to the
purchasing of a straw hat or new tie,
but there is no limit to a woman's wants,
and the shops are now a constant tempta-
ton Truly is ii said
'Man wants but little here below
And is not hard to please,
But every woman that we know
Wants everything she sees!"
