"precious thoughts" to us. * * * 



Is it not wonderful that this artist of the everlasting beauty will comedown and work 

 with you and second all your efforts? You plant the seeds and bulbs and wield the hoe, 

 and that simple instrument is a wand in the hands of a king. You touch the earth and 

 miracles of beautv spring up. Then the unseen brushes begin their work. In the sweety 

 still, dewey morning, in the calmness of the night and in the heat of the noonday; He 

 works with you. Plant the Rose, the Peony and the Columbine, and care for them and 

 lo, the silent partner comes without heralding, and the blessed work goes on. Soon a 

 thrill comes to you; you feel the honor of it, the glory of it— this partnership with Him 

 who paints the splendors of the sun. All unconsciously, you feel an eagerness as though 

 some unknown pressure were brought to bear upon you; and you are mightily moved with 

 the fact that it is the yen ruing of God to reveal Himself through your brain and hand and 

 hoe. C. S. Harrison.
