The sun energies us to accomplish
things that by night seemed Impossl-
BILE. The sun warns the heart, and
breeds the gentleness where love
springs. We cannot watch the energy
Of garden life and not share its vi
tally, neither can we watch the mir
acle that Is In the yearly resurrection
Of the seed without being quickened
to wonder and belief. Light shows up
all things in their true value, and we
sorely need this wisdom Of true val
ues. In these days Of mad rush for
money, position and power, the care
of mind, body and soul is given a sec
ondary place too often. The most vat
liable recreation Is getting In the i'm
mediate presence Of nature. II we
cannot have garden or a yard to
work In, just get out into Gods great
outdoors, where one can be baptized
with the glorious sunshine. It is the
sun that makes the children and the
little lambs frollc, the birds sing and
the flowers bloom.-Thrlft Magazine.

TABLED STATUES OF JAPAN
Interesting Legends That Are Told Of
Famous Wood Carver and the
Gods Of Nippon.

Unkei, the son of q fisherman, and
in his youth, an humble fisherman him
self, was responsible for one of the
most remarkable epochs In the history
Of japanese wood sculpture, writes FL
sic f. Well, in Asia. His name is
a household word to the Japanese.
The story is told, by those who are
supposed to know, that the king Of
the underworld was very much lrri-
tated that Unkei had never done him
Justice, although the sculptor had at
tempted to carve his image many
times. SO, when he died, the king
of dead Buddhist souls sent Unkei
back TO earth, that after having seen
the god, he might make a faithful por-
trait. The result may he seen today
In the temple Enno-ji at Kamakura,
where Unkei's statue of Emma, cruel
and savage in Its strength, strikes ter
ror into the hearts of all who fear to
meet the Judge Of Hell.
There are many delightful legends
about old statues Of the gods. In the
Hase temple at Kamakura, high on
the crest of hill overlooking the bay,
is a great gilded Kwannon Of camphor
wood-nn 11-faced image of the God
dess Of Mercy-whlch for centuries
has hardened to the prayers of the
fishermen. A long time ago, In that
dim past when dragons were abroad
In the land and gods condescended to
play with men, some fishermen saw n
great light shining out ut sea. They
sailed In their junks toward the light
and found the image of Kwannon float
ing on the water, They dedicated a
temple to the image and ever since
have worshlped at her shrine.
At the same time similar image
Of Kwannon, also made of camphor
wood, floated In at Yamato and was
placed In the Hnse-no-Kwannon, a
temple that was the favorite resort
Of cOurtlers in the Nara period. 1t
Is still today popular temple for pill
grlms, who come In the spring, when
the cherries are in full blossom and
all the lanterns are lighted, to trans
port themselves back to the days when
the gods were young.
