Beecher says, “Flowers are
the sweetest things God ever
made and forgot to put a sonl in”
But did be forget? Do they not
seem to breathe forth God’s spir-
it in a silent eloquence surpass-
ing speech? The rose speaks to
us of beauty, the violet of mod-
esty, the lily of purity, the daisy
of meekness. To him who takes
the flowers at God’s value they
speak a various language. To
the sick room they go like an an-
gel song bearing cheer and love
and sympathy to the sufferer.
To the bereaved and sorrowing

feelings, feelings we dare not

As the organization was con-
stituted the by-laws provide that
every subordinate and Rebekah
lodge in Dallas and Rockwall
counties shall have three dele-
gates to the district association.
Funds are to be raised by a per

sociation.
The next meeting is to be held
at Rockwall on the third Thurs-
day of July, 1912. For this con-
vention the association offers a

third degree to be put on by a
subordinate lodge and also a
prize for the best work of the
second degree.
