The Heedless Fire-Starter.
Someone dropped a m atch, or a
cig arette, or some careless or mis-
chievious or vicious play w ith fire
set off a flam e th a t destroyed 25,000
acres of w in ter range betw een W est-
land and Boardm an some weeks ago,
and endangered the W est E xtension
canal system from sand blows th a t
may cost m any thousands of dollars.
W ho did it, o r w here or how it
happened is unknow n, b u t th e fact
rem ains th a t a careless a c t caused a
fire in dry grass and sagebrush th a t
burn s like tin d e r box In the sum m er
tim e in our g rea t out of doors. It
m ay be years before the protection
of th e sagebrush w ill retu rn . It may
also be several seasons before the
grass is restored by n a tu re o r hum
an effort. It is likely th a t through
an u n u su ally w indy season perp et
ual sand blows may be developed
th a t w ill pile up buttes, and knolls
and spread desert w astes, all be
cause the flam e dropped from the
hand of someone crim inally careless.

A lthough the, various dogwoods
are som etim es so s m a ll th a t they
seem h a rd ly m ore than a good-sized
shrub, they have been know n fo r
centuries and th e ir legendary his
to ry reaches into Greek m ythology,
to the Rom an e m p ire at the tim e of
C h rist and to the fo lk lo re o f e a rly
A m e rica n In d ia n trib e s. T h e ir slen
der, tw isted branches and unusual
four-petaled flov • s have seemed to
ca ll fo r explanation and the legends
have trie d to account fo r them ,
w rite s P aul D avey, tree e xp e rt, in
the W ashington S tar.
One of the legends is to the effect
that the dogwood, because of the
hardness of its wood, was chosen
fo r use in the cross at the c ru c ifix
ion. The te ch n ica l nam e o f the tree
is Cornus, fro m the L a tin corna, a
horn, and re fe rs to the ch a ra c te r of
the wood. The legend runs th a t the
dogwood was m uch distressed at be
ing chosen fo r such a te rrib le p u r
pose and th a t , the S avior, sensing
this feeling, m ade to the tree th is
pro m ise :
“ N ever again sh a ll the dogwood
tree grow la rg e enough to be used
fo r a cross. H enceforth i t sh a ll be
slender and bent and tw iste d and its
blossom sh a ll be in the fo rm o f a
cross—tw o long and tw o sh o rt petals
and in the center o f the o uter edge
of each petal there sh a ll be n a il
prin ts, brow n w ith ru s t and stained
w ith blood, and the ce n te r of the
flow er w ill be a crow n of thorns.
“ A ll those who see it w ill re
m em ber it was on the dogwood
th a t I was cru cifie d and th is tree
shall not be m u tila te d or destroyed,
but cherished and protected as a
re m in d e r of m y agony and -death
upon the cross.”
I t is a b e a u tifu l way o f e xp la in
ing the p e cu lia ritie s o f the dogwood.
H is to ry does not bear out the leg
endary assum ption th a t the cross
was m ade fro m the wood of the
dogwood, but th a t does not take
aw ay fro m the beauty of the legend.

<< fflHRIST Jesus” was the subject
((_. of the Lesson-Sermon In all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, August 28.
The Golden Text was, "Thou
Ucth - lehem F p h ra tah , th o u g h
thou be little am ong the thousands
of Judah, yet out of thee shall he
come forth unto me th a t Is’to be
ru ler In Israel; whose goings forth
have been from of old, from ever
lasting” (Micah 5 :2 ).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “ And
the angel said unto her. F ear not,
Mary: for thou hast found favour
with God. And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and sh alt call his
name Jesus. He shall be great, and
shall be called the Son of the
H ighest: and tFe Lord God shall
give unto him th e throne of his
fath er David” (Luke 1:30,31,32).
The Lesson-Sermon also Includ
ed the following correlative pass
ages from the C hristian Science
textbook, “ S c ie n c e and H ealth
with Key to the Scriptures," by
Mary B aker Eddy: “ He was ap
pointed to speak God's word and
to appear to m ortals in such a
form of hum anity as they could
understand as well as perceive.
Mary’s conception of him was spir
itual, for only purity could reflect
T ruth and Love, w h ic h were
plainly incarnate In th e good and
pure Christ Jesu s” (p.332).
