Show Flowers and Character That which surounds us forms our character If wo live In the midst of filth wo cannot keep It secret Tho world turns its knowing eye on us looks beneath the surface sees our Inner selves our degraded minds and our cold l cruel hearts If we live surrounded by the beau ties of life tho world knows too Our hearts grow kind and sympathetic and our thoughts high and pure Wo all know that this Is true Then 13 It not our plain duty to surround our little children with every lovable uplifting thing the world affords is It not our duty to ourselves to surround sur-round ourselves with everything which will refine our thoughts and help to form within us an admirable character We owe It to our children to ourselves and to society Probably tho purest and most beau tlful things on earth are flowers Can you not Imagine a character grown In the midst of a garden of flowers Montreal Herald |
