This is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and was introduced in 1802. It is 

 a greenhouse plant, of easy culture, in- 

 creased without difficulty by cutting, which 

 should be planted in sandy loam. This 

 beautiful *,poc ies flowers in June and July, 

 in great profusion, but no art can do 

 justice to the brilliancy of its colour. 



Thus does God surround us on every side 

 by the most unequivocal proofs of His 

 kindness, and provide countless objects for 

 our pleasure and delight. If we try to 

 consider His wonderful goodness, we are 

 lost in the contemplation of its immensity. 

 It is He who formed us by His wisdom and 

 His power. He sustains us by His bene- 

 ficence : above all, He has favoured us with 

 the Holy Scriptures,— those divine oracles, 

 in which our Lord Himself gracbmdy 



that He sent His only begotten Son, that 

 whosoever believeth on Him should not 

 perish, but have everlasting life ! ! !
