AN EASTER THOUGHT
Long, long before the continent
we call America was discovered,
mighty river was pouring its waters
through our western country. Abori
ginal man gazed upon it in awe, and
-wild animals craept to its banks to
quench their thirst. The same river
is sweeping through those regions
today, as it will be doing in ages to
come.
On its broad bosom vessels of all
descriptions transport cargoes of
things useful and necessary to the
existence of man and beast. Its wat
ers irrigate vast regions devoted to
the productions of foodstuffs, of fab
rics for clothing, and of materials
r.eeded in the construction of homes,
and churches, and schools, and mills,
and all other structures essential to
the welfare of mankind. For the wat
er course along which this river flows
is about 2,550 miles in length.
To trace this mighty river to its
source one must begin at the Gulf of
Mexico, into which it empties, and
proceed northward. At certain inter
vals tributaries are encountered,
there being about 100,000 such
streams, large and small. Northward,
ever northward, the source seeker
Decker was read at a recent meeting
of the Woman's Club and greatly en
joyed by all present.:
“Begfin the art of finding peace,
Beloved: it is art no less.
Sometimes we find it hid beiTeath
Sometimes one finds it in oak woods;
The orchards in their springtime
dress;
Sometimes in dazzling mountain
snows;
In books sometimes. But pray begin
By finding it within a rose.”
So sang Vachel Lindsay, and poets
without number before her, as my
riads since have found inspiration in
the rose. They have set it in their
verses like gems are set in valuable
metals.
The rose wears its tit^ of Queen
by absolute right: for twenty centu
ries ago in Athens it was ceremoni
ously crowned “Queen of the Flow
ers” and its reign has never been dis
puted. When or where the rose was
first observed for its beauty and fra
grance is beyond the knowledge of
man. From mythology we learn it
was sacred to Cupid and Venus and
was accounted the emblem of joy and
love, innocence and purity. Not so
many years ago,' as time is counted,
the famous War of the Roses was
waged in England, when the royal
houses of Lancaster and York fought
for the crown for seven years. White
roses were the emblem of Lancaster
and red roses that of York.
No country can claim they produc
ed the first rose, as can China the
first tea plant, or Japan the camphor
plant, for roses are natives of all
temperate countries. Even the cold
er regrions like Lapland and Hudson
Bay have their roses. We can have
roses from the arctic circle to the
Isthmus of Panama and beyond that
if we wish.
Ampng the roses best known to the
Ancients was the Hundred Leaved
Rose. It is a native of the Causasus.

Perhaps something about soil and
location would be in place. Roses de
mand an open situation, exposure to
sun two-thirds of the day and protec
tion, if possible, from hard winds.
Do not plant near trees or shrubs, as
the plants will be influenced by their
roots. Any good soil will be all right,
as rose roots do not travel far in
hunting for food. It should be en
riched and kept free from weeds. It
should be well drained, as roses will
not thrive with “wet feet”. To enrich
them, a tro^ell of bone meal to each
plant will fornish food for half a sea
son.
The quickest results are obtained
from planting two-year plants, al
though one-year old plants make tt if ^

sage of love and hope and faith. Its
tributaries must be reckoned by mil
lions, for they flow from every ham
let and village and city in the world.
To trace this mighty river of love
to its source one must go back
through the history of the human
race. Back through modern eras,
hack through ancient times, back
through the ruins of forgotten civil
izations; back, and on back nearly
2,000 years, and then the seeker of
the source of this wonderful river
finds it in an empty tomb in the land
of Palestine. For there, and not in
the manger at Bethlehem, the migh
ty stream of Christianity had its be
ginning in the Resurrection.
And thus it comes about that at
Eastertide the thought of the world
turns to that empty tomb and its
meaning: “Death is swallowed up in
victory. O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?”
WHEN CHARACTER IS BUILT
Charlotte News.
Dr. Henry Louis Smith, soon to be
retired as head of Washington and
Lee University after a long and bril
liantly useful service as a leader in
higher education in the South, has
made the Eminently sane observation
that “character is built or destroyed
during youth’s leisure hours. Dr.
Smith belongs to the old school of
educators who still cling to the belief
that “the highest and most fruitful
of all ends of educaticffi” is character
building.
It is well to have that note struck
ever and anon in these times when,
unless we have something to stabilize
■us differently, we will fall into the
error of concluding that education
is designed for other ends.
You can hardly tell that its chief
function is character-building as we
look around us today and visualize
its results and its fruitages. In fact,
in many of the institutions that great
purpose in education seems to be
submerged. We are turning out tech
nicians in increasingly large droves,

Much experimenting has been
done to produce better roses. In 1867
the French began the hybridization
of roses, but not until some years lat
er did other countries undertake it.
America has taken its fashion from
abroad for many generations and un

When selecting roses for planting
there are several things to take into
consideration: adaptability to loca
tion; hardiness to climate, resistance
to mildew and balling which causes
buds to blight so they do nol open.
The following are considered the fa
vorite dozen for this location: Radi-
ence, Red Radielice, Hadley, Etoile
de Francie, Lady Hillingdon, Orphe-
lia, Los ^Angeles, Madame Butterfly,
Columbia, Paul Neyron, American
Beauty, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.
This list is taken from an article
“Roses for the. South.” Of course
there are many more that will do
well here. Three varieties of much
value are the Cochet roses, red,
white, and pink. In the South the
White Maman Cochet is considered
the best light colored rose we have.
Radience is counted the best all
round pink rose in the world. Mrs.
Charles Bell is a sport of Radience
and Red Radience. These three are
wonderful roses and they do well ev
en if neglected. The introducer of
these roses is John Clark of Balti-
inore, who celebrated his 95th birth
day in November, 1928.
Yellow roses are not very satisfac
tory. They are liable to be like the
little girl with a curl, either very,
very good, or very, very bad. One
rose grower when asked what was
the best yellow rose, replied: “I must
answer that there is no best so far.”
