But one day the flower faded, nor could the south wind, with warm kisses, re- vive its drooping head. Then came the gardner, who, seeing the dying flower, plucked it from the stem and buried the golden heart deep in the black earth. ¥* kk “Cruel, cruel man,” the south wind cried. The winter was long and cold. Snow lay deep upon the heart of the flower and over the grave the south wind sobbed its rage at the pitiless gardner. Then came spring and the song birds, and the flower arose, more beautiful than ever. And the south wind, understanding, kissed the cheek of the gardner, in joyous peni- tence. ¥* 3k Xk Wondrous kind is the gardner of the Universe, though foolish, fickle man understands Him not. When His hand, gentler than the south wind’s softest caress, ‘touches one of our loved ones, we think He is cruel- ly unkind; we do not know He is shielding a tender flower from the winds of winter, nor do we seem to learn the lesson of the lily. Yet we have His majestic promise: ‘Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east and gather thee from the west, and I will say to the north, ‘Give up,” and to the south, ‘Keep not back; bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth.” ” We should learn the lessons nature with her changing seasons and bud- ding life would teach us. We should look beyond the grave to the resur- rection and the immortality that is promised. Let us read again Cato on immortality, as Addison so beau- tifully interpreted the promise of a future unending: “The soul, secure in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its ~ point— The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years; But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the war of elements, The wreck of matter and the crush of worlds.” i * 0 ge ENROLLMENT AT A.
