The Teachers.

Never a» sweet flower idly grows. Or scatters on the wind: (Jut of the ashes .of the rose Springs dreams that warm the mind. Never a cloud floats lightly by. Nor withers like a scroll, But flings a vision from the sky That Ungers In the pouL Never a linnet or a lark Breaks Sabbath with a song, But sends the ear at dawn or dark Some hymn with message strong. Never an Idle thing at all In heaven or the clod; For every beauty, great or small, Preaches the word of God. ►Edward Wilbur Mason in Ave Maris.
