brances placed each year for the mem
bers of the family, but the cheer has
reached out into dark spots about the

Every night take them out of the wa

"In the morning rinse the stalks IN

vase of fresh water snip off a tiny
portion Of the stalk with a pair OF scis-
sors. Always carefully trim away any
faded part.
Food for the day is supplied by

which should be added TO the water

flowers into some dark, cool place

for the flowers or for the household

O Master, at thy feet
! bow in rapture sweet!
Before me- as in darkening glass.
Some glorious outlines pass.
OF love and truth and holiness and power;
I own them thine, Christ, and bless
thee for his hour
0 full of truth and grace,
Smile of JehoVah's face,
o tenderest heart of love untold!
Who may tiny praise unfold?
Thee, Savior, Lord of lords and king OF
kings,
Well may adoring seraphs hymn with
yelling wings.
I have no words to bring
Worthy Of thee my king;
And yet one anthem in thy praise
I long, I long to raise;
The heart Is full. the eye entranced
But words sv all melt away in silent aw.
and love.
How can the lip be dumb,
The hand all still and numb.
When thee the heart doth see and
Her Lord and God alonee
Tune for myself the music of my days,
And open thou my lips that I may show
thy praise.
Yea let my whole life be
One anthem unto thee.
And let the praise of lip and life
Outring all sin and strife!
O Jesus, Master! be thy name supreme
For heaven and earth. the one. the
grand. the eternal theme!
