PERHAPS someday in the name of economy or practicality the
materialists and efficiency experts will eliminate the flowers from
our gardens, and border our walks and terraces with cabbages,
carrots and peas.
Perhaps they will have taught the Widow Jones that the money
she spent for the red geranium that blooms on her window still
might better have gone for coal to take the chill from her bones;
and perhaps, who knows, they will have convinced the women of
the land that the expression of the color, rhythm and poetry of life
through the magic of their needlecraft is an unjustifiable waste of
time and energy.
But until the dawn of that remote and cheerless day we believe
the iris will flank the garden walk and the hollyhocks blaze from
the top of the wall; the geranium will give its warmth to the lonely
sou1, long after the Are has died unheeded on the hearth—and wo
men in hovel and palace will continue to weave their dreams and
the richness of their imagination into the patterns of their embroid
ery as a last, loving touch to the beauty and happiness of their
homes.
For the greatest hope of the human race is that there is a part
of us that food and clothing will not satisfy—an intangible, elusive
something that finds satisfaction in the color of a red geranium, in
the majestic splendor of a setting sun, or in the delicate symmetrical
beauty of embroidery and crochet—an upward, outward groping
toward something higher and finer which though the body perishes,
we may hope sometime to attain.
FAREWELL
Rev. Askerneese we bid you a fond adieu,
Five years you were Captain and We the Crew,
Many’s the change in those toilsome years,
Packed with joys and griefs, heartaches and tears.
Large sums have been raised and improvements made
Under the broiling sun, seldom in the shade,
You’ve blazed a trail, the Master at your side,
Our prayer is that His Spirit shall ever abide.
Precious Mother who shared in your labor of Love,
She too, will be rewarded we know from above,
Your leadership and council we surely shall miss,
In conclusion of the matter, t’is simply this.
It showes what God can do if we will only trust,
And for those who succeed this is a “Must”
Your record of achievement is a mighty fine story,
Now Mid-West sends you forth in a blaze of Glory.
By Rev. T. T. McWilliams, Sr.
