BLOSSOMING THOUGHTS.—

The sunlight makes the violet blossom. No surgeon's instruments can make the flowers blossom, and no hammer can drive them forth. But the sweet, persuading sun can call them out. A seed is planted. The sun looks, and kisses the place again, and a green plant appears above the ground! It looks once more, and kisses the place once more, and a beautiful white blossom unfolds itself!
And thus it is with the soul. No logic can pry out these devout aspirations. No philosophy can drive them forth. But let God's sweet, persuading soul rest upon ours awhile, and they come up and blossom. The soul is the garden of the Lord.—H. W. Beecher.
