THE GARDEN OF LIFE.
Life is a- garden of God-given soil, To be cultivated By mankind ; Trimmed and tilled with tireless toil JBy the heart and voice, and mind. Sow Sympathy, Love, and Truth as flowers ; ' ,^f»«* £[oxioizf aa x2*aaßocx2'.s root j Spray kindness around like summer showers, . And joy -grill be the fruit i Weed Life's soil with manly toil, Tend it with patient care; Lest weeds of sin grow and spoil The fruit -and flowers iair. Till your plot year by year, LskUgfa. if the seasons seem had; There's a summer sun in a face of chew That makes glad other gardeners sad. Dig deep and strong in the soil of life. Try to soften Sin's stubborn sod ; Flowers «xd fruit -will Toward keen strif» When Life's garden is tilled for God. — Attu> Rxros, Bunedin, August, 1906.
