There is a beautiful legend of Fra Ber-
nardo. The monastery had vowed to set
carved altar to the Christ at Christmas
| tide Every monk was to do his own part
All the other monks had finished their
work. Christmas eve Fra Bernardo knelt
and told his Lord Of his failure. He had
| tried with his poor skill to carve some
| thing for the altar, for Christ's dear sake,
but somehow he could not make anything
| worthy. So he prayed that his fingers
might have skill. and that he might be
able that very night to carve the dream
! of beauty that was in his heart In the
morning the monks sought Bernardo's
cell and found him there
Dead. smiling still, and PROSTATE a. in prayer;
a face Of Christ snbilnely tender. sweet
The work Of Fra Bernardo was complete.
So 1t will be with those who seem to
| fail. but who continue striving faithfully
doing their lowly work as well as they
that what to them seemed failure was
beautiful with the beauty of Christ God
| finishes the work after his lowly ones
try to do for nina Heart Garden.
