Nature has many poets who never

beauty of form and coloring, proclaim
constantly the truth that under all,
over all and in all is an omnipotent
and loving Creator. Joyce Kilmer in
his matchless tribute tells us that
never was poem lovely as tree"
Trees are poems and trees are also
poets because they fulfill the poets

up our hearts unto the Lord.

especially true OF Gods handiwork.

accrue IL more money were given to
thus beautifying insignificant streets.
A tree has a refining influence, offers
ever a silent rebuke to unloveliness
and uncleanliness. II a city street is
clean and tree-shaded even rows of
cheap box-like houses are redeemed
from ugliness and take on them the
look of home: while. on the other
hand, a treeless avenue for all its

to look unfinished and common. Such
is the triumph of Gods poet-trees.

what will give America largest divi-

tree planting, so that more and more
her ordinary folks may live In the
glorious company of trees. We believe
that the tired wife and mother. who
is able to look from her doorway many
times day at green leaves will be
happier and better woman; We believe
that the father who looks at these
beautiful works of God as he rests on
his porch or step in the cool of the
evening will be more likely to keep
his soul clean. his heart unhardened IN
the world of toll and strife. Early
surroundings do much to form charac-

MY TREE.
Some love the city's stir and stress,
The noise. the lights. the crowds that
press.
But not here abide from choice;
My heart eer hears the country's s
voice.
The whispering wood. the quiet glade.
To walk therein my soul was made.
Since here a while I'm forced to dwell
The God who doeth all things well.
Though from my paradise I'm far)
Has left for me one gate ajar:
For from my window I can see
My neishbor's hne old maple tree.
Within my neishbors grounds !,
stands.
Yet all It's joys my soul commands.
] watch in spring tho leaves unfold,
Its autumn hues of red and gold:
And peace divine o'ercometh pain
When on my tree 1 hear the rain.
In winter through its branches bare
They chant the spirits of the air,
And tell me OF tho coming spring,
When buds will ope' and robins sing,
My gracious Father comforts me;
1t seems to bring Him near. my tree.

To each other, bright with rapturous

And the hills sing together. like our

OF summer leaf silences are as water
Smooth for the sail and shining to

When all the fields had seemed silver floor,
Ny heart has learned very quiet way
And shall not be troubled any more.

And I have made of these thing to keep
