Niagara Falls with all their grandeur and power is only s bagatelle in camper ison with the tremendous amount of energy which is being exercised in the growth of the trees and flowers and vegetation of the summer time. No scientist has yet been daring enough to try to estimate how much power the summer time develops in the trees' silent growth. See how kindly nature has cover-sa up those long bare branches of the trees in our streets! What an infinite vsriety of shade and lhape we have in our joy at the" retui\ of the leaves that the kindness of nature. is only in the summer time, and yet that is not true. Some' one hawwrit- ten a pretty little piece of poetry about the Trees' Lovers. ' It goes in this way:- Wbo loves the trees best? “I," said the srpring. “Their lea-vcs so beautiful To them I bring." Who loves the trees best? "I," the Summer said, - “I give them blossoms, "White, yellow and red." e Who loves the trees best? "I," said the Fall; "I give luscious fruits, Bring tints to all,” Who loves the trees best? "I love them best," Harsh winter answered; “I give them rest." In spite of all the harshness of na- t`ure she does have sympathy for all her creation. III. THE PRAISE OF GOD IN NATURE. Our texts make the trees enthusias- now in the beautiful leaves.

One of the common things in the Bible is this personlflcation of na- ture. That 'is the tendency to praise God is so great that the Bible writ- ers make nature speak out in the fullest terms. Oh, but somebody says, nature does not praise God. » This is all iinaginar non. it is eu in the mind -ei nie poet. Well suppose we admit that it is in the mind of the poet( does it not speak well for the poet. -His own soul is so much in communion with God that he thinks inanimate nature is the same. You may not take these words of our text literally, as you cannot take a great many of the best truths in the world literally. But they have a meaning and they do refer to worshipping and praising God. They do acknowledge the pres- ence of God in nature and make the workings of nature more than mere F-"""€"'* in _ .
