PAGE TWO
GLIMPSES
OF
TH E PAS T
\ By CAROLYN LLOYD
The same miracle happens every
year. Defiant of freezes, contemp
tuous of over abundant rain, the
flowers arrive to herald the ap
proach of Easter. Suddenly, the
drab browns of winter disappear
in a blaze of color: the gay yellow
of jonquils, the purple of hya
cinths, the red and pink of camel
lias. Each year nature re-enacts
the miracle of the Resurrection.
It is the season when even the
most cynical must agree with Walt
Whitman, who wrote:
"Why! Who makes much of a
miracle ? As to me, I know of
nothing else but miracles ... To
me, every hour of the light and
dark is a miracle ... To me the
sea is a continual miracle; the
fishes that swim—the rocks—the
motion of the waves —the ships
with men in them, What stranger
miracles are there?”
What stranger miracle indeed
than life itself. A baby is born and
begins his journey toward the
grave. That would be a depress
ing thought were it not for the
message of Easter. That baby will
at some time in his life meet dis
couragement, if not tragedy. He
will inevitably lose someone he
loves. Then will be the time to
remember that Good Friday comes
before Easter; that even the Son
of God suffered, but that His suf
fering was the prelude of the
world’s greatest miracle.
When Easter comes early, there
is always the possibility that the
weather will be cold or rainy,
bringing disappointment to those
who have new finery to wear. It
truly is a disappointment, regard
less of finery, because Easter
should be the most beautiful day
in the year. The sun should shine,
the birds should sing, and all na
ture should be proclaiming the
glory of God. If nature fails, how
ever, Christian men and women
(even in last year’s bonnets) can
still thrill to the cry, ‘‘The Lord
is risen!” On the first Easter that
cry had significance to only a few
people, and now it spreads over
all the world. The cross, which
was just a common means of exe
cution in Asia Minor, has become
the symbol of faith in all comers
of the earth. Black people, brown
people, white people—all will feel
a resurgence of life on the day
that brings reassurance that the
Cross is not the end of life.
Some people will die on this
Easter morning, and some babies
will be bom. What greater miracle
indeed? .

THE RED CROSS
Nursing the wounded and dying
All thru the night
Up to the front lines
In the thick of the fight.
No thought for self
Only service for others
Out in the jungles
Treating all men like brothers.
And here in the States
In disaster and loss,
It comes to the rescue,
America’s Red Cross.
It’s an Angel of Mercy
We all must admit
Let us serve mankind
By giving thru it.

GARDEN TIME
By M. E. GARDNER
This is one of a selection of g
poems by Albert L. Mason, from
“Song of an Orchardist,” publish- k
ed by American Fruit Grower c
Publishing Co., Willoughby, Ohio, r
1958. Hope you enjoy reading it: j
There’s one in every well-kept
home.
At least there ought to be. 1
I’m speaking, folks, of potted
plants; (
There’s usually two or three.
My wife especially goes for
them; '
She hangs them on the wall.
There’s one in every bedroom,
And a couple in the halt
Geraniums! Begonias!
A couple ferns to boot!
I laid my comb upon the shelf, !
And even that took root!
We use them for a centerpiece;
I cuss them when I dine; J
Around and ’round the gravy boat j
Their dainty tendrils twine. J
She’s got a new terrarium; ]
She put it in the den. ,
Somewhere in the underbrush
I’ve lost my fountain pen! (
We bought a “knife-o-tuffus”
plant
I swear that’s how it sounds!) '
She stuck it in a butter crock;
It grows by leaps and bounds! '
It acts like Jackie’s stalk of beans,
Or else some jungle vine.
It shot up to the ceiling, so
She’s tied it there with twine!
She has away with potted plants;
There is no doubt about it.
What others do with thiamin
She does with ease without it.
