affair.
But it happened that a meadow lark.
pouring out a glad and rippling song,
as the story is told, alightcd on thu
window sill OF the room in which the
new born baby lay, and so the child
grew up with the birds song in its n
heart.
And. after g. while, the stirring OF :
the song drove the child out from it's
home In search of what the song SYM
bolized-7Beauty and Truth. The search
was carried far and wide without
avail, until the child lost heart Then
in the midst of grief and disappoint-
ment, came sound like the singing
of the lark, the first music that had
fallen on the chtld's ears; now 1t came
from the lips of a blacksmith, who.
seeing the child in trouble, paused to
ask the cause and to offer comfort.
Thou Art Blind, Say.
And when the story of the fruitless
quest for Truth and Beauty had been
told and heard, the burly smith laid
his hand on the child's arm gently and
rcassurlngly:
See" he cried, pointing to littlo
white flower that grew from the dirt
and decaying wood under log, hers
lis bit of Goodness Truth and Beau
ty, at thy feet, and thou dldst not see
1T. Thou nrt blind, / say. Now lis
ten that thine eyes may BIO opened.
This little flower is pure, white and
perfect See how beautifully alike and
yet unlike are It's five snowy petals
The flower grows from the common
earth beneath the shadow of a rotting
log, yet 1t is a part of Gods plan ana
a product OF His craftsmanship am
n skilled workman, but / could not
make a thing OF beauty like that. All
about thee are the Good, the True ana
the Beautiful--in sea and wood and
Sky, and in the hearts OF thyseit ana
thy fellows.
