The Beauty of Humility

By R.

THE sunflower can be seen a great way off; it is large and showy and pretentious. But if I wished to adorn a table, or possibly wear a button-hole bouquet, I would much prefer the violet. The sunflower may do for the back fence, but when it comes right down to personal associations, we want something less pretentious, more beautiful with the beauty of humility, and fragrant as the breezes from the land of Beulah. This is nature’s lesson to us on heart adorning, where the perfume of the life and not its pretentions, is admirable, yea, priceless. R.
