GOOD OLD SPRING TINE

Could Paradise be farer? Perhaps the
long and tedious winter through which
we have just passed, has frightened our
appreciation of this season of bud and
blossom, for we enjoy all things by con-
tract, and perhaps this passing from the
snow and cold Of winter to the warmth
and verdure of spring at single bound, is
unprecedented in the memory of the''oi
est inhabitant" and produces and un-
wonted thrill of pleasure. At any rate
you may talk of the purple haze of Italy,
the vine-clad hills of France, the sea
queen tints of the Emerald Isle, the quiet
lanes of England fragrent with their bios
soming hedgerows; but who ever will rise
with the sun these mornings can enjoy
the essence of them all and not leave
their own door yards.
No sea girt isle can boast a fresher
green than our grass and foliage. The
air is vocal with the songs of birds and
odorous from the blossoming trees. Flow
ers of every hue are springing from their
retreats and bearing to our hearts bright
promises for the morrow.
All Nature seems instinct with
life and hope. Come then, ye sick
and sorrowful to this feast of good things.
Don't spend these precious mornings toss
ing on your couch, hoping the doctor
will find pauacea for your ills, or that
something will turn up TO dissipate your
gloom.
Go out to meet these healing, inspir.
ing influences which Nature is providing
for your relief, OF en- your lungs and hearts
to her sweet breath and words OF cheer,
and balm more potent than any ever
patented by man. A God given panaeea
for the ills of humanity, shall be given
you. You will be glad you are alive and
in this state and that it is a beautiful
spring morning.
