GIMME A FLOWER -

Out of the ferry house that receives
the boats bringing the suburban pas
senyers TO IA great city comes a stream
of men and women. They hurry off in
nil directions intent on reaching their
days work in time.
Some OF them carry bouquets of flow
ers plucked in country byways to
brighten city streets. One of the hur-
rying men has u dozen roses wrapped
ia paper the beautiful blooms smiling
and noeid:.g at the city folks as their
bearer t,lrlics along the street.
! His way leads him through mean
streets AS he passes there spring UP
lin his path city children. to whom flow
ers are rare treasures. The cry goes
up:
| Mister, gimme flower"
| Mister" wanted his flowers to adorn
his own desk and those of his Office
friends. But he cannot resist the ap-
peal of the children. Who can?
Before he reaches his desk the roses
are gone. In their stead he carries in
his heart the memory of children's S
faces made happy. He has won by the
exchange.

city cry:
Mister, gimme flower
True. we may have no garden where
in to grow flowers We may be our
selves poor city dwellers and in our
courts and alleys grow no roses.
But there are other flowers.
/ There are blossoms of the heart to
be pucked afresh daily and bestowed
on the little ones There are the
smiles. the kind words which grow in
the garden OF the Lord. They are not
costly. They may be cultivated by
whosoever will do so. He need not
be an expert gardener. He needs but
TO water the plants from the spring
of love which lies in the breast OF
each Of US waiting to be touched.

SO much the better.

load yourself down with roses and

FOR A BLIND CHILD'S SAKE.

In Il. G. Blumhart. a farmer Of Ore
ron dwels the love Of children and
sll living things which makes him
kinSman to all the mothers and fathers
nf the earth No one need travel to
Hlnmhurts farm to learn that he is
good to his cows and chickens and 9th
ei live stock.
E;nmhart adopted q child recently.
When the thought of doing SO came to
him he did not ask himself. What can
a child do for me-:
Instead he said. What can do for
a chld:"
He did not seek a child to help in the
abors of his household and farm. He
did not search out one that should be 4
money maker for him when it should
become old enough. Too often have
such motives led to the adoption Of
children.
He sought child to whom he could
be good, to whom he could be a IA
ther
And he adopted little blind boy!
/ On the afflicted little fellow. three
years old, Blumhart is lavishing as
much love as-perhaps more than-the
baby's natural father could. He has
moved near the blind school SO that
the boy shall have the advantages of
modern instruction.
How many of you would be willing
to burden yourselves with blind
hid? Stand up and be counted!
/ How many would have the moral
courage to face the criticisms Of friends
aud relatives and neighbors and say
hoidly:
Yes. know the boy is handicapped
FOR life. know he may never be able
10 repay me for the care | am going
to give him | know that his training
will be long and difficult and perhaps
costly.
But to the best Of my ability shall
care for him. | shall not look for re-
ward or recompense. save as l shall
know that his hands, outstretched to-
ward me for aid, are confident in the
feeling that shall not fail him. He
shall be to me a son in all ways in
spite Of his affection
How proud will Blumhart be Of his
blind adopted son as the baby and
then the lad and then the young man
grows in wisdom and knowledge!
1t is pleasant to sit back and think
Of the two going hand in hand along
the road of life-the man. endowed
by nature with all his faculties. bear
ing cheerfully, willingly. lovingly, his
self assumed task Of rearing blind
boy: the other going trustingly hand
in hand with the man who has shown
thus his unquestionable love
Let all who read this join in saying:
May Blumhart be spared for many
years to cherish his sacred care! And
may bis blind adopted son well repay
him for it!
