It is the old, old miracle wrought anew every season, and none the less iriiracle in that we no longer see, save with the eye of faith, our Saviour "filled with com passion for the multitude," standing with his hand outstretched in bless ing that the food may be so increased that no one will go, hungry away. And aren't you glad that it is our privilege, yours and mine, to work, in that wonderful miracle of feeding the world? It is a high calling and the very . first, chosen by our Heavenly Fattier himself for man and the one out of which all others grew. "And the Lord took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." Surely if my Bible grew ;. a spray- of it banished melan-, cholia;'-while the ancient Greeks had such? implicit faith in its power t cure madness that they sent their fn- sane to Anticyra where it grew in . quantities. Its, other" name Christ mas rose, was given it because a lit tle - girl whohad followed her broth ers, : the shepherds, to Bethlehem, ' wept that she had no gift to offer the Babe lying in the manger. An angel told her to look on the ground,. and there " she saw the hellebore blos soms; she gathered and gave them to Mary, and since then among Chris tian people, the plant has borne the name of Christmas rose. Parsley is green, so I gathered a bunch of that, but though I look long and carefully, not a violet can be found. There were lots of them ten days ago but they have disap peared, and my disappointment is great for a bunch ig neededfor the dinner table and I didn't come to the garden to be disappointed. I camej to divert';rmy mind and forget-the old "pbniinecker" hen whose fluffy little biddies she and I with, infinite were to open of itself it would be at Pains have just brought to the frying (TO TEN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN AWARDS 7 THE BEST BY EVERY TEST m mm mmrw m mv a - mm AT TOUR, 25 ve siiipoHflPPRavfli.

Jthe chapters .telling of gardens, they are read so often. And is anything else, in the world so absorbingly interesting asthe growth of plants? A clump of pussy willows set out only one week ago,, is already beginning to blossom, and the hardy carnations, another gift from an unknown friend who loves her garden too, are grow ing and flourishing as if January were as propitious as May. Under the rosemary is a bran new flower that of itself repays me for the"peril ous voyage to' the- garden. The leaves of most plants '' are as familiar as size age. Two days ago, one came to an untimely end on the breakfast table and since then .the round" yel low eye of its mother has followed me so accusingly that J I feel like a ' cannibal. If she would only look with her two eyes, it wouldn't be so disconcerting, but she won't.
