health lost. once again restored. 1t
would be more than useless to at
tempt portrayed of the realism of
nature as it appears, so l am going
to make a rough sketch and a few re-
marks in passing.
Quite naturally 1T this season of
the year we apparently find the
streets of the larger cities deserted.
And why? Is it a question that needs
a reply when glance around US
would be sufficient to explain all?
Stretching forth from every point of
view one gazes upon the exquisite
handiwork of the Omnipotent all-per-
feet and all-good, whilst for each and
| everyone there is message, a won
derful condescension of love if we can
but attune ourselves to catch the vi
bration hidden away perhaps among a
whole lot of meaningless things, as
no doubt some would express it, but /
am sure, if we care to study this
poin t of view, Nature would unfold
and present the richest of treasures
undreamed of. Have you forgotten
in the days of old when you made
biblical history one of your studies
that quite frequetly the good and be-
loved Nazarine employed the simili-
tude in His speech, using the birds,
the trees, the bowers, to illustrate
deeper significance, then by express
ing the object itself, and so in this
manner it made much more of an in
delible impression upon the minds of
His hearers.
Dear readers, as it was then, so it
is today, figuratively speaking, one
may draw many beautiful and ennobl-
ing inspirations from the rudiments
that Nature so copiously supplies as
the food for our mental reflections.
Men in all walks of professional
life may advantageously derive innu-
merable benefits, if but a few mo-
ments of their daily leisure be sacri-
feed in ardent contemplation of the
Divine theories attributed by Natures
dextrous art.
