dens, the loving Fathers gift to his
children-gardens of vegetables, to-
give us health and strength for our
daily tasks; flower gardens to cheer
US, and brighten the little place called
home. Then we have the gardens OF
the heart, in which we should plant
nothing that is unkind; then, when
alone, we wander in our memory gar
den, it will be a place of comfort,
peace and rest. In all our heart gar
dens, there must needs be some sad
eyed flowers, but they nearly always
have some bright petals, that will
comfort us. Even the make-believe
gardens are worth while. For, into
them, we may take the dreams of our
youth, and the hopes of the future,
and the tears that we may not shed
before the eyes of the world. We may
plant in them more than seeds and
shrubs and poisoning trees. We may
plant in them the lasting radiance of
faith that never dies"
Enter cur gardens as often as we
can, enter, rest and pray.
There is a certain garden place,
From all the world apart,
That holds a little of my youth,

New York, nominated for governor.
For some weeks past there has
been plenty of political talk that

Ii can be said, however, that the
