ahut out tho garden from tho common (axe of atraltly ordered garden with rowa where apicy clove plnka unfolded where aenitnol-Iika hollyhocka flaunted 1 their varicolored blossoms told a tala of aomo little mistress who watched their planting and their bur-geonlng on a happy day long gono by and etandlng amidst the glow of crlm-aon poppy flowers wondered why In tln4hriU of ao much brlghtneaa and

forever with the splendor of the smile of God The Garden's Symbol Tha garden la the abode of Life and the dial always holds on Its ancient face lines of wisdom for tho human jieart to ponder If existence la ahadow It passes as quickly Ita mo manta are precious Tha dancing lights jeome and go then flicker out In swift eclipse But If tha lesson of the dial has been fully learned faith can look behind the still dark barrier and Ibid light and leva tindlmmed and unwft- Bering In fullest resurrection "Boon 'tls night" says tha dial Where Is no tlmo to throw away In thoughtless squandering Each
