enjoy the aroma Of the lilacs that tn,
gentle zephyrs watt from the other side
of the street. We have lilacs of our own
but. they are so located we cannot ger
their fragrance from the position we are
now occupying But we can sit on the
front porch and enjoy those of our neigh
bors, while we have no trouble with
them. Our neighbor pays the taxes on
the land that raise these flowers, and is
responsible for all the cost and trouble
of their cultivation. Surely, one man,
nor a syndicate of men can own every
thing, his neighbour or, his fellow man,
be he neighbor, or, stranger, can enjoy
the beauty of his possessions, while the
quasi owner has all the bills to pay Incl
dent to their production Truly, the
earth is the Lerd's aud the fullness
thereof; the world and they that dwell
therein. While we are ENJOYING the
beauty of other peoples possessions why
may we not say, all these are ours,
and we are Christ's, and Christ is God S.
