ALONG AZALEA ROW

By RUTH B. SM ITH
“F a th er of all G ardeners, we th a n k Thee that in the long long ago
Thou didst begin the world in a garden.
We thank Thge for the m orning and the singing of the birds. >
W e thank Thee for the quiet and the peace of evenlide and the
blessing of sleep which comes with the night.
As we rise in the m orning to work in our gardens grant, that the
toil of our bodies may bring tranquility to our m inds:
That the grow th of our plantings be exemplified in the growth of
our souls;
'— ■
—--.7—------■ 1 '■ r;1".
That the fruit of our lives as the fruit of our trees be the perfect
attainm ent, the crowning glory of a life dedicated to Thee.
Encourage us to lend a helping hand to the needy.
To speak words of sym pathy to h earts that mourn,
To bear the burdens of the weak.
To m ake the w aste places of hum an need to blossom as the rose.
E x term in ate the weeds of doubt, sensitize the roots which nourish
our inner beings th at these roots may drink from the still w aters
by which Thou dost lead us.
F o r the gift of Thy Son Who suffered in a garden, we thank Thee
And in His name we m ake this prayer. Amen.’’
—E dith S. Craddock, The Garden Club of Alabanui.
