A DAY IN JUNE
Here are some joyous lines from
James Russell Lowell, one of our :
noblest poets
"What is so rare as a Day in June? |
Then, if ever, comes Perfect Days
The Heaven tries the Earth, if it be
in Tune
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look or whether we lis- 1
? ten'
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinet within it, that reaches !
^ and towers , I
? And groping blindly above it for light j
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers. !
The flush of life may well be seen, j
Thrilling back over hills and valleys,
The cowslip startles in meadows
green, . !
The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice, '
And there's never a leaf nor a blade
too mean !
To be some happy creature's palace.
The little bird sits at its door in the
sun, i
And lest his illuminated body o'er .
run |
With the deluge of summer it re- j
ceives ;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her
wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast
flutters and sings, i
He sings to the wide world, and she j
to her nest,
In the nice ear of Nature which song ?
is the best?"
"And what a Happy Month June ;
is! A poason of simple living with
the kindly sun and the blue sky,
days of keen delight in little things,
of joyous questioning after Beauty, ?
days for the making of friends by
being a true friend to others, days
when we may enlarge our little lives
by excursions to strange places, by I
friendly association, by the compan- '
ionship of Great Thoughts.
"Days that may teach us to live
nobly, work joyously, play harder, to
do all our labor better. So should
EACH JUNE bring us indeed a
GOLDEN SUMMER."
Beauty of the Hills
(By D. H. ORR)
It has been said that God is a lover
of beauty or He would not have made
the world so beautiful when there
was no one to look upon it but Him
self. The mountains, the cliffs, the
plants, the streams, the sunset, the ;
flowers are ,all masterpieces of God's ;
own creative hand. And then to crown !
it all He created human beings in his j
own images.
The person who does not appreci- j
ate beauty has but little of God.
The more of God we have in us ,
the more we are able to see the beau-j
tiful things that 'surround us ? not
only the beauties of nature but the |
beautiful things in the lives of other j
people. The more of God we have i
the more beauty others can see in us !
? in our souls and in our lives.
We can all have beauty! However;
homely our faces, we can have a beau- j
tiful soul that will shine out and
lighten the pathway of others.
The beautiful face will soon fade,
but the beautiful soul will grow more
beautiful with the passing years and
the beautiful life will live long after
we are gone.
Beauty! Look for it. It is all
around us and God is the Author of
it all.
? A PRAYER
I 0 God, in whom we live, and move,
'and have our being, teach us the True
Secret of Right Living, to radiate
[helpful influence, to be of thosejgho
are always radiating sucprts, through
health, through joy, trough uplift
ing helpfulness, to /scatter sunshfae
wherever we go. /
Enable us to se4 that these are the
helpers of the 'tyorld, the lighteners
of burdens, the , people who ease the
jolts of life, soothe the wounded and
give solace to the discouraged.
Help us to learn to radiate joy, not
stingily nor meanly, but generously,
to fling out our gladness without re
serve, shedding it in the home, on the
street, on the car, in the store, ev
erywhere, as the Rose sheds Beauty
and flings out its fragrance.
Let us never forget that when the
world learns that love thoughts heal,
that thoughts of harmony, of beauty,
of truth, always uplift, beautify and
ennoble, that the opposite carry
death, destruction and blight every
where, it will learn the True Secret
of Right Living, the joyous Secret of
Happiness.
God Grant that the world may
learn these gladsome and joyous
blessings through us, and unto Thee,
Father, Son and Spirit, shall be all
the praise and glory, both now and
ever. Amen.

FROM AN OREGON FRIEND
Editor The Brevard News:
I often think of North Carolina and ,
old friends, and also the beautiful .
Blue Ridge Mountains. My thoughts
often wander back to my boyhood j;
days. As it is hard for me to write
and express my gratitude in a letter'
to my friends, I woud like to send it I
through your paper. |.
The people in the Northwest are
getting along very well ? things are \
somewhat dull just now to what I j
have seen in the past, although there
is lots of work such as lumbering, j
farming and fishing, here on the Co- ',
lumbia River. We are having an ideal '
spring ? just enough rain now to
make the grass and gardens grow.
The climate here is wonderful.
I send my best regards to all my
friends and relatives in Transylvania,
also to the preachers that I met while
I was there. I am preaching and ,
working for the Lord all the time j
that I can spare from my labors. So,
I would like to see a letter or even a i
few words in the paper from anyone |
in good old N. C.
Mr. Editor, My subscription is i
nearly up. But please continue send
ing it right on, I don't want to miss ]
a single issue. Will send you some
money soon. j
Wishing you good luck and pros- 1
perity and expressing thanks, I am .
yours very truly,
REV. S. R. ROBINSON. !
