M1U SINGS OF iAMlNlsTEAR
S Recorded Weekly by ~
DR. rEDvvARDu kUHLr1ANN

The seeds are not at all prepos-
sessing. Some are tiny, brown or
black. and shiny. Others are rough
in texture and grey on tone. Shall
| throw them away? No. Put them
into the ground. Soon these little
seeds will take of their coats and
go to work. and in a few brief
weeks your garden will be frag-
rant with many blossoms. Oh, the
miracle that lies in a little packet
of seeds. Edgar Guest puts it into
this intriguing bit of verse:
Il paid dime for a package of
seeds
And the CLERK tossed them out
with a flip,
We've got them for every mans
need.
He said with a smile ON his lip.
'Pansies and poppies and asters
and peas
Ten cents package and pick as
you please.
Now seeds are just dime to the
man in the store
And the dimes are the things that
he needs;
And I've been to buy them in sea-
sons before,
But / thought of them. merely
as seeds.
Then it flashed through my mind
as l took them this time.
You have purchased a miracle
here for a dime.
You've a dimes worth of power
no man can create;
You've dimes worth of life in
your hand,
You've dimes worth Of mystery,
destiny, fate,
Which the wisest cannot under
stand,
In this bright little package-now
isn't it odd,
You've a dimes worth of some
thing known only to God"
And spring suggests another per-
tinent thought. / take it from the
lines of William Cullen Bryant. A
lover of the great outdoors, he was
intrigued, while sojourning in a
northern lake country, to note the
uncanny ability of wild geese to
journey southwark in November
and unerringly to find their way
back whenever warm spring
breezes began to blow again. In
his poem t'To a Waterfowl" he ex-
presses his wonderment at it all
and concludes that God has an in
innate part in it, that there is a
power whose care teaches thy way
along painless coast" How God
reaches these birds and guides
them to each journeys end no one
knows or understands. Some call
it instinct Bryant calls it God and
argues that il divine guidance is
available for the birds low in His
scale of creation, it is far more
available for man created in His
Own image. With this in mind
Bryant concludes his poem with
these words:
"He Who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundIess sky
thy certain fight,
In the long way that l must tread
alone,
Will lead my steps Alright"
All this is the miracle of spring.
Breathe its atmosphere thoughtful
ly, tune your thinking sensitively
to its beauty and meaning and God
and His greatness will become in
creasingly real to you.

AT CHURCH OF GOD-The Lee
College Touring Choir of Cleveland,
Tennessee, will sing at the Milford
Church of God on Easter Sunday
night, z o'clock. The choir is COM
posed of forty voices and will pre-
sent a program of sacred music
composed of anthems, and special
arrangements of hymns and gospel
songs.
The director of the Lee College
Choir is A. T. Humphries, Dean,
Lee College School of Music Each
year the choir makes two extensive
tours plus shorter weekend tours.
They are currently touring North
and South Carolina, Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, New York and
Pennsylvania. The choir is known
nationally through their tours and
recordings.
Mr.. Humphries has studied in
some of the leading universities and
Conservatives and has been teach
ing and organizing singing schools
Since the age of IA. His major work

servatory of Music, Detroit, Mich
igan, with a major in voice. Mr..

erica Back to God" radio and tele-

Pastor Tull of the Milford Church
of God extends an invitation to the
public to hear this choir on Easter
Sunday, z D. m.
Milford chronicle., 1960-04-08

As / look out of my window l
see two robins tripping lightly ov-
er my lawn seeking dry whisps of
grass and sundry other material to
build nest. The shrubs and trees
are turning delicately green, chill
dren across the street have brought
baseballs and bats from their win
ter Information to have game and
/ know that spring has come.
Observing all this, memory's mag
ic carpet carries me across years
of time and broad expanses of sea
and land to another springtime
spent in Palestine, the land of the
Saviour's birth. A small group of
us ride horseback out of Nazareth
where once the angel came to say
to Mary that she would mother
Gods only Son. A winding path
way rises here to ever higher
er ground until we come to the
summit of ridge called Karn Hat
tin. Ahead lies the sea of Galilee
and nesting close to its shore we
see the town Tiberias. The fields
across which we pass are blooming
with flowers and birds sing over
head, It was in this area that
Christ spent the most of His life.
Here growing things were very
close to Him, and as we view these
growing things now, they still make
us to think of Him, for it is true
that zone is nearer Gods heart in
garden than anywhere else on
EARTH" So go often to fields and
gardens these spring days and you
may find by your own experience
the truth of the poets words:
Il walk into my garden and my
tulips look at me
Perhaps the way they looked at
Him who lived in Galilee,
And possibly by mating birds the
self-same songs were sung
Around His father Joseph's shop
when Christ was very young.
''The smorning glories climb my
fence, their blossoms pink and
blue,
Perhaps they're very like the ones
that mother Mary grew,
And now and then when lilac
blooms spill perfume in the air
fancy that bush like mine
once knew her tender care.
"a robin nests beneath my caves,
who knows but long ago
She led Him to the window pane
that lovely sight to show.
For while the world of men must
change and customs rise and
wane
The joys a garden has to give un-
altered still remain"
And now a slightly different di-
rection of thoughts. If you make a
garden, perhaps you have stood in
some store before rack of flower
seeds of many kinds. AS you looked
at the envelopes displayed, with
their many jauntily gay colors,
no doubt they tempted, even chal-
lenged, you to buy. You take home
a liberal supply. You open each
packet and shake a part Of their
content into the palm of your hand.
You might say, l don't see any
flowers. What I see is not at all
prophetic of any future beauty.

To clasp his hand in the better land
Never to part again.
