DECEMBER BY LAND AND SEA 19 



Rhode Island looked as lovely and 

 peaceful as ever, although its fields were 

 sere, its woodlands brown ; the junipers 

 and the bay gave it its striking colors. 

 Nature never offends the eye, we never 

 fault or dislike the coloring of a sunset, 

 criticise a landscape, or any child of 

 Nature. Perfect, with all its variety, it 

 comes from the hand of Him who made it.
