The Forest Fire of Evil.

For wickedness burneth as the
fire; it devoureth the briars and
thorns; yea, it kind1eth the thickets
of the forest, and they roll upward
in u colump of smoke.-Isaiah 9.1S.
saw this sight once in Newfound-
land when our encampment fed from
a great couflaGration in the woods.
The fire crcpt along the ground
eating its way through the moss and
dry leaves secretly. breaking sud
denly into flame.
1t leaped and ran upon the under
brush with a cracking sound like
crazy laughter.
1t seized upon the tall trees, flaring
swiftly into flame-pillars, roaring
through the night.
1t was terribly beautiful; but be-
hind it was desolation,
tiousness, an epidemic of evil among
n people. is like that.
The hidden progress of false and
wicked ways among the lowly and
the little folk; the noisy progress of
popular vice and violence in the
crowd; the glaring outbreaks of
wickedness among the high and lofty,
visible from far-then exhaustion and
ruin.
Such forest fires the world Of man
has seen-in the days of Sodom and
tiomorrah. i'll the decline of the Ro-
man empire, in the years before the
French revolution, and now.
Nothing can repair the destruction
but human faith, and hope, and love,
and work. in harmony with the con-
tinuous creative power of God. who
makes the waste land to bloom
again.

Your Home and
You
The Garden Bench.
HY HELEN KENDALL,

At the great flower show held in
New York city last March, one Of the
most effective exhibits showed a
stretch of velvety turf in living green,
with formal beds of brilliant bloom
on either side, and at the end an ivory
white bench against a background Of
closely massed evergreens. Its gleam-
ing whiteness against the dark green
Of the foliage made every onlooker
outside the ropes want to walk up the
graveled path and seat herself there
to look out over the beauty of the
garden.
Garden furniture has become almost
as essential a factor in the suburban
or country home as the appropriate
furnishing and decorating of the
house itself. A convenient seat upon
which to drop down and rest after a
tour of the flower lanes Is to make an
extra inviting room for the family
and its guests.
The great danger to most beginning
gardeners is to overdo this matter Of
garden furnishings. Last summer I
was SO crowded with decorative" ar
ticles that there was almost no place
left for the flowers! The entlfusi-
astfc woman who presided over 1t
recklessly ordered sun dials, bird
baths, pottery vases, stone benches,
iron cranes and frogs and had indulg-
ed in arbors, trellises and bird sticks
until the whole small inclosure re-
sembled nothing so much as an out
door selling place for garden equip
ment.
Garden furniture is effective only
when it is subordinated completely to
the trees and the flowers themselves
II 1t intrudes itself upon the atten-
ton. it is in poor taste no matter
how beautiful the individual article
may be. The beautiful seat, placed in
distant secluded spot or amidst a
splendid massing of greenery: bird
bath hidden in some quiet spot where
the birds may enjoy it without alarm
a sun dial in the midst of a very SIM
pie formal garden--these are beauti-
full and tasteful; but beware the use
of artificial water birds, imitation
birds on sticks and ornate stone vases
placed among the blossoms. The SIM
pier the man-made setting, the bet
ter will the flowers show up-and,
after all, they're the real beauty of
the garden.
