perhaps the oldest in the world. It

giant redwoods of California were
saplings, when the Windsor oak was
still an acorn 1t is the famous b.
tree of the Buddhists, a branch of the
very tree under which Prince Gaut-

but the Bo-tree still stands green
forever" as the ancient prophecy fore
told. Pilgrims to the shrine pass thru
ruined streets, between tumbling
palace walls, to worship at the foot
of the tree. Ancient, withered priests
still guard the holy spot.
In the broad branches tiny elf-like
monkeys swing and chatter to each
other. The aged guardians of the
place regard these small trespassers
with disfavor but their faith forbids
the shedding even a monkeys blood
in the sacred shadow of the tree, so
the tiny animals swing and chatter to
their hearts content as they have
done for centuries. They seem to be
tiny priests themselves, as withered
and as aged as the more dignified
brothers.
At the foot of the tree a figure OF
Buddha sits with folded arms and far
off gaze. The crumbling image seems
to mediate over the general ruin
about him. The heavy scent of the
! lotus drifts thru the forest like an
incense before a shrine.

It's pitiful to think that we could
all have in our garden of life the
things we want most if we'd only plant
them there instead of not planting
anything ct all, or planting a weed
and expecting it to come up a flower.
What the great majority of human
beings crave most is love Above all
other earthly blessings they desire the
affection and tenderness of those
about them, and especially the love
and tenderness of their children. and
no complaint is SO bitter as that of
fathers and mothers whose children

Yet ninety-nIne times out of hum

hibit no affection for them are merely

nothing to win their children's love
and confidence. They were tyran-
nical and hard, they fretted and scold-
ed and never took the trouble to try
to understand their children. They
never showed them any real sympathy
They depended upon what they call
natural affection. There is no nat
ural affection, except the animal at
lection of a mother for her young
while it is helpless. That feeling does
not animate the child. 1t would be
as much attached to anyone else who
was kind to it. A child's love for its
parents is based on the love. tender
ness and sympathy it has received

According to a western paper, Bro.

to an order, which will no doubt be

Now they are talking of uniforms
for farmers. Not a bad idea. The
farmers are serving their country.
How about hickory or blue denim
overalls with bib and straps over the
shoulder, cowhide boots and large
straw hat?
That is the. way farmers are sup
posed to dress, but no farmer in the
world ever dressed that way-off the
stage.
They really should have some sort
of Uniform to distinguish them from
the city folks. Nowadays the farm
ers and the city folks look much alike.
only the farmers are slightly better
dressed.
