Gorgeous Oriental Poppy

I like Oriental Poppies—even the “old fashioned red.’”’ A clump of any of them will make the other flowers in the garden “stand out” in a way to be talked about. They bloom freely and do well in any sunny spot in the garden. An established clump will bear a dozen or more flowers, of gigantic size and gorgeous coloring, varying from crushed raspberry to old rose, from deep red to orange, from mulberry to white and from salmon to pink.

The Oriental Poppies bloom with the Irises in happy association, forming a striking and lovely garden picture.

We Are Immortal

The most profound thought that can enter the mind is the idea of a

spirit-life beyond the grave, continuous in eternity.

The charm of the beautiful things of life and nature are a preface to the sublime features of the eventful beyond. May we all look more and more for the beautiful, ever-present in humanity and in the smallest particle of substance to the largest object in our marvelous universe.

Through the procession of the seasons, in the spirit-soul, following our separate inclination, we will be with the gorgeous iris, the appealing rose, the nodding poppy, the stately chrysanthemum. We will be with the multi- tude of other flowers, in their fascinating fragrances and colors and with each seed with its urge to reproduce, that succeeding plants may grow and bloom. In autumn, when the maturing leaves take on their lovely tints, there we will be with each Nature-painted leaf.

We will be with the curve of the rainbow with its hues of promise, with the rose-tints of the morning and with the resplendent sunset with its deep purples, its iridescent greens, its reds, its gold and its cerulean blue.

We will be with the balmy breeze, the refreshing water, the invigorating air, the impressive mountain, the pleasant valley, the picturesque landscape, the fruitful soil, the tasteful, nourishing foods, the boundless sea, the bril- liant evolving light of the sun, the quiet light of the moon and with the countless stars sparkling in endless space—there we will be to appreciate and wonder.

We will be with the cheerful song of birds, with hearty laughter and with the musical harmony of all melodious sounds.

We will be with the art of the mind and the artistry of the hand, with the glad greeting of friends, the responsive touch of personality, the pro- vocative flash of eyes, the ecstatic kiss of lovers, the smiles of children, the bouyancy of youth, the comforting caress of mothers and with the under- standing fellowship of fathers.

We will be in the happiness of conversation, the inspiration of encour- aging words, the performance of neighborly deeds—wherever there is will- ing help, steadfast RANE confiding faith, thoughtful kindness and the thrill of joy.

Being awakened ys the grandeur of Nature, the good in people and the reality of Diety, is Heaven on earth.

When we go hence the chemical elements of our natural body will merge into the earth-dust from whence they came. This change will carry on for our mortal being, the cycle of the progress of physical growth which marks the ever changing development of combined organic and inorganic matter activated by the life-creative mystery-energy.

God is a Spirit and His spirit vibrant-impulses radiate from His spirit- soul and permeate to the uttermost parts of everywhere and find a pulsating response in everything. The vibrant-impulses of our spirit-soul—our con- sciousness—infiltrate and attune to God’s vibrant-impulses and we are par- takers of His Divine presence. Where God’s spirit-soul is, our individual, ever-living spirit-soul will be also.

And thus, in passing from our earth-life, we explore, each in our differ- ing, quickened comprehension, the unknown mystical future, continuing and advancing our soul spirit-life, sharing with all mankind, the splendors and satisfactions of eternal bliss. This is Heaven of the spirit.

For the Life of Yesterday goes on Today and throughout all Time.

Let us meditate on these things each morning and each evening.
