Dearest Girls: I wonder if you can find my message to you in this allegory? There was once a garden in a fertile valley, bordered by rugged, majestic mountains. The garden was a lovesome thing in its atmosphere of alluring peace and quiet. No sense of discord, of envyings and striv- ings, seemed to pervade its calm precincts. So well was it laid out, so glowing in its color, so sweet in its scented air, that all who entered it felt in their inmost souls the influence of its impelling, uplifting beauty. They often asked wherein lay the entrancing charm of this garden more than in others. The flowers were the familiar ones of all the gardens they knew, nothing flaunting, nothing exotic — just roses and lilies and pansies, all the dear old-fashioned homely flowers that everyone loves. One visitor insisted that the fine results must come from the foun- tains of sparkling water that gushed forth from the fern-covered cliffs at the north of the garden. Another, that it must be caused by the frequent and refreshing showers that fell in this particular part of the country. Still another that it must be that the so il was rich in all those mysterious forces that give color and form to whatever grows therefrom. But another, more thoughtful than the others, said in a voice that hushed all speculations, I have met the gardener in the rosy flush of dawn, under the burning zenith of the noon, in the cool of the dewy evening. I have noted how benignly he looks upon his flowers, how tenderly and patiently he pulls the weeds, how lovingly he lifts the droop- ing vines or raises the languid blossoms or coaxes and encourages the unfolding leaves and buds. And then I knew that a garden needs some- thing more than gushing springs, refreshing showers, rich soil. It needs a gardener who loves the flowers, whose life-giving spirit so infuses them with hope and courage and abounding life that they cannot help being the best flower of their kind in all the gardens of the world.” What is the name of the wonderful gardener?” they all asked breathlessly. We would fain see him too, learn of his ways, and draw of his power.” And the speaker answered, shortly but reverently, His name is God.” With deepest affection, always yours,
