The intelligence of flowers, the obedience

 blinded, shell-torn men responded with "I can 

 smell, it — it's a flower." 



Oh, the innocence of it! The glad incre- 

 dulity of these heroes! Is it not beautiful and 

 comforting for us to know that thousands of 

 men at St. Dunstan's believe "They are nearer 

 to God in a garden than anywhere else on 

 earth?"
