Flowers.
(Contributed)

Flowers are signs of innocent purity
which God put here to purify and beauti-
fly this world of ours. Just think! how
would this world look ifitwere complete
ly destitute of flowers? The first man
who was put in the world was put in
garden among beautiful flowers. God
put beautiful flowers in the world and
intended for man to live among. to culti-
vate and to love them! Flowers do not
only beautify a place, they purify the
very atmosphere around them. They
make their habitation cheerful and bright.
They turn away all the clouds and blue
days, and make person know that he
is alive and has something to live for;
and (that something) is to look on the
beauties of nature, which must, indeed,
inspire his soul to the very depths, and
cause him to come more in contact with
all surrounding creation of nature which
God has given to help him to keep the
world agoing.
A person, whose home is surrounded
with beautiful flowers is most sure to
live purer and nobler life, by their
presence, for, when he looks on them he
readily forgets his troubles and wrath;
while he is gazing on his beautiful flower
garden he positively cannot think of his
misfortunes or any ill-feeling towards his
fellow men. For the flowers, with their
beauty and sweet-smell, carry his mind
to higher, richer and purer thoughts. l
is great inspiration to nature lovers
soul to look upon huge garden, of a
unity of beautiful flowers. They denote
innocence, purity, love and sincerely,
four of the greatest characteristics that
go to make true and perfect life. A
bunch of sweet modest flowers is appre-
ciated as much as any thing that can be
given.
Flowers beautify the field, the yard.
the home and the person. There is moth
ing that so corresponds with, and so
beauties the features of a person, as
a sweet little bunch of modest flowers.
If all our church and school grounds
were ornamented with beautiful life
growing flowers, we could learn our les
sons better and could do our work in a
better way; besides the inspiration we
could obtain from them; their beautiful
presence would rest us from our work
and we would feel and look more cheer.
full when the time come to do our tasks
Where home is adorned with flowers
there abides more pleasure and happiness
than there does in home that is without
flowers. For, believe, the presence Of
beautiful flowers is one thing that makes
home seem like heaven itself. Flowers
think is one thing that we see here that
we will also see in heaven.
