Flowers and Character.

That which surrounds us forms oul
character. If we live in the midst OF
filth we cannot keep 1t secret. The
world turns it's knowing eye on U.S.
lokos beneath the surface, sees our
inner selves, our degraded minds and
our cold, cruel hearts.
II we live surrounded by the beau
ties of life, the world knows, too. Our
hearts grow kind and sympathetic and
our thoughts high and pure.
We all know that this Is true. Then
is it not our plain duty to surround
our little children with every lovable,
uplifting thing the world affords? Is
it not onr duty to ourselves to sur
round ourselves with everything
which will refine our thoughts and
help to form within us an admirable
character? We owe it to our children,
to ourselves and to society.
Probably the purest and most beau
tiful. things on earth are flowers. Can
you not imagine character grown
in the midst of a garden Of flowers7
