SPRINCTIME
BY u. G. PEATTIE.
The Aroids.

In the florists windows calla lilies
shine at you. white and gold. Try to
buy them. however, and you will
regret 1t. In Miami they will show
you their monstera deliciosa, another
of the aroid family; in Hawaii they
eat dasheens, the tubers Of an aroid,
and many a suburban garden boasts
somewhate heavy bank Of elephant
ear.
You may have them all-all the
sweet smelling callas and all the vile
smelling aroids Of the tropics. like
our little Northern ones best. What
jolly little, group of plants they are
the golden club, coming up now on
the tidal fats along the Potomac: the
jack-in- -the-pulpit, who breaches all
Spring long, but as he bows in silent
prayer l never weary OF him. And
then there is the mysterious dragon
tongue. with it's lOng-pointed cap leaf,
like the fang Of a mythical monster.
And arrOW-arum waves from the
marshes and, as for skunk cabbage,
| could even hold a brief for that
plant. bad smelling though It he.
People who are just beginning to
learn something about flowers. and
people who wish to learn, but fear II
may prove too hard, are troubled
greatly by the mysterious way thai
plants are grouped into families. 1t
is startling to learn that lily and iris
are In different families. while rose
and plum are in the same family. But
the aroids. first family of. Spring, are
always easy to recognize. They all
have their minute flowers crowded
on a spike, like the jack part of
jack.in-nulpit. and some sort of petal.
like leaf, like the pulpit part Of the
little woodland rower. Also, il you
have ever tasted the leao Of an aroid
you will never forget the smarting OF
your tongue.

headlines this morning specialize in
personalities. They always do. You
and / are interested in people.
Through people we learn about our
selves and our world.
That Is the reason we are interested
In reading the lives Of people. Biogra-
plies make interesting reading
whether it be the life of Napoleon or
Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow VIII
son. We like to get on the inside of
doors and see how people act there.
l have just been reading Beatrice
Webb's biography. my Apprentice
ship" 1t is fascinating to see how
this woman. born to wealth and social
position. came to be one of the intel.
lectual and political leaders of Eng
land.
1t was part of the genius Of Jesus
that He knew how to clothe every.
rarely used distractions. He had the
story telling habit and used 1t to ad-
vantage.
When He wished to talk about the
value Of childhood he did not write an
essay. He took one average child who
was playing in the street and used
that one child TO illustrate His words.
1T is better that a milestone
and His audience understood.
When he wished 10 talK ABOUT HSPo-
critics. He took the case Of one harlot
surrounded with a group of self right
eous young and old men and shot at
the mark, Let him that is without
sin amongst you cast the first stone. y
If you would discover the power of
Jesus here is the place to begin. When
He talked about the love Of God, He
illustrated 1t by living it. The word
was made flesh. People saw love per-
sonif1ed in this carpenter and they be,
lieved in the power of love. He did
not talk much about forgiveness. but
he lived 1t and people understood. He
taught the Fatherhood of God by act
ing as If it were true. He taught the
value of human life by treating sick
people, lepers, the blind. the crippled.
as though they were worth a great
deal He preached his sermons in
his actions. People listened to these
sermons. People always listen to
sermons which are lived. That Is
the reason Jesus can never be for
gotten no matter how mysteriously
the religionists wrap him up in pale
formulate and pious distractions.

ity, and the light is a trinity. Being
immaterial and homogeneous, and
thus essentially one in its nature, the
light includes a plurality or CONSUL
uents, or in other words Is essentially
three in its constitution, its constltu-
ent principles being the actinic, the
luminiferous and the calorific, yet in
glorious manifestation the light Is one,
and Is the created constituted ana
ordained emblem OF the tri-personal
God--of whom it is said that God Is
light, and in Him Is no darkness at
all" John, i.5). The actinic rays are
in themselves invisible: only as the
luminiferous manifest them are they
seen; only as the caloric accompany
them. are they felt.
So when the word was made flesh
it became possible for men to see and
to feel God. Notice. too. that the
word was made flesh" Jesus Christ
came by the divine miracle OF the in
carnation through the Virgin birth.
The promise to Mary was: 1.-THE Holy
Ghost shall come upon thee. and the
power OF the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore, also that holy thing
which shall be born OF thee snail be
called the Son of God. "-tLuke, 1859
What dignity and splendor the truth
OF the incarnation gives to our hui
mainly, This is infinitely greater than
pantheiSm with its idea that God
comes to self-consciousness only in
man. If 1t is true. then we have
nothing to worship except ourselves!
The truth OF the incarnation gives
dignity to man by teaching that God
made Himself one with man. and that
we may all become partakers or the
divine nature by repentance, Ialtn
and regeneration, This truth humbles
US and keeps US modest and sweet.
even while we glory in our inheri-
lance through Jesus Christ
