When death, the great reconciler,
has come, it is never our tenderness
that we repent of, but our severity.
—George Eliot.

THE LILY OF LIFE
Once, in a sheltered garden, there
bloomed a beautiful flower, so sweet
and pure the south wind forsook all
else to sweep caressingly around it,
whispering soft words of love. 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.
Â¥* 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.

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

As far as we know, the only advan-

clock is in being seen, but not heard.
It has just about gotten so in cer-

Then there are some young men
