The Garden.

The Garden.
I wondered. as an idle boy,
Why flowers that SO freely grew
Should be so great a source Of joy
Unto the patient mother, who
Had books and pictures and SO much
Beside to claim her gentle care.
Why should she trim with tender
touch
The flowers, that grow everywhere?
I see the children at their play
Each mother loves her own the best.
In my small garden day by day
I linger for an hour to rest,
And some small plant that seems to
fade
cherish with gentle hand
And learn its mood for sun or shade
And I begin to understand.

MOTOR CAR SERMON
ATTRACTS INTEREST

How a minister. unconsciously stressed
the capability of a certain make of au-
tomobile to such an extent in one of
his sermons. at Mystic. Conn, near
Hartford. that 1t aroused more interest
than any previous sermon in long
time is related in a report received at
the factory from the HARTFORD Hupmo-
bile dealer.
The report goes on to explain that
the minister who drives a small light
car is a regular customer at the deal
er'S garage.
Between New London and Mystic is
a hill known as Fort Hill, ard the deal
er states that every time the minister's
car would climb that hill in high gear
"it was a good car" but often it failed
and then '.it was poor mechanical work
in the garage which was responsible.
One day the dealer. more or less eX-
asperated over the minister's reference
to poor garage work, said to the clergy
man: How would you like to ride in
a car that will climb Fort Hill; one that
will start at the bottom in high and go
over the top at forty miles an hour"
On the following Sunday, the min
lister preached:
There is an automobile dealer in our
certain car; among his statements was
one to the effect that it would climb
Fort Hill from standing start and go
over the top at forty miles an hour in
high gear. I, as result of past expe-
rience could not refrain from disbeliev-
Ing that statement. But | was taken up
the hill in the car and made to believe.
! now believe in the man and in the
car" Then he continued to point out
that a demonstration of fact is convinc-
ing in all things. AS a result Of his
sermon he was besieged with inquiries
as to the make of the car.
ut all goes to show the tremendous
interest of the public in anything per-
tanning to automobile performance" he
