BIG MEETING AT
ROSE HILL GRANGE
Lecturer Martin E. Smith
Spoke on the Subject Of
Flowers

Rose Hin Grange held large and
interested meeting last evening. Lee
turer Martin r. Smith in opening the
debate on flowers said:
"The subject for discussion tonight
is flowers, and II will be discussed by
the flowers of humanity.
Flowers are emblematic of love
and purity. We love them not only
for the fragrance Of their bloom, but
because of what they now stand for
and have stood for in all ages Of the
worlds history They stand for the
acme Of perfection and purity.
I'VE will do we'll, If we heed the
teaching OF flowers, for they speak TO
us in language all their own. They
tell us OF hope that has eliminated
i'm a bright reality; they tell us of
love- the great motive force that
moves the world and which Is the
central idea OF heaven itself
"Then let our words and our deeds
blossom out Of love. AS the rad
lance and the fragrance OF flowers ex-
cite our pleasurable emotions, so let
our words and our deeeds contribute
10 the sum Of human happiness and
TO the betterment of mankind.
ANY flower that we have to give,
let us give It today, any kindness that
we can show, let US show It today ana
any good that we can do. let us do It
while we can, because costly blooms
laid upon a casket brings no frag-
rance to the dead and kind words fall
on deaf ears.
"If we have a suffering or distress
ed friend let us visit and assist him
today, If there be need OF kind and
encouraging word let us speak IL to-
day and let us do our good deeds in
the living present; lest before we
have a future opportunity death shall
lay its quiet hand upon the longing
heart OF our friend still forever its
fret and pain and power Of glad re-
sponse.
I'VE pass through this world but
once. and we are but a feeting shad-
ow any good therefore that we can
do or any kindness that we can show,
Let us do it now. for we shall not
pass this way. again.
