EARTH'S GARMENT OF GREEN 17 



the finer and more beautiful the mosses and sea 

 plants are. 



It is one of God's laws for the world that it should 

 be covered with growing things. Is it any wonder, 

 then, that nature wants to use the nice, rich soil that 

 you leave bare in your gardens? You like to have it 

 bare. It looks better to you that way and your 

 flowers will gi-ow better in carefully cultivated soil 

 not crowded by other plants. But nature does not 

 wish the earth left unused. She is fulfilling God's 

 law when she covers it up with growing plants. She 

 scatters broadcast every year millions of seeds just 

 so there shall be no waste spaces. 



Do not be impatient with the plants that you call 

 weeds. You must pull them up if you wish your 

 garden to grow nicely, but do not fret because it must 

 be done so often. Only remember that they are a 

 part of earth's garment, and that it is God's law for 

 the garment to reach out and cover the whole earth. 

 Remember, too, that nature is always very busy 

 obeying God's law.
