Page 89 - O, mind the secret sprigs and tender plants. Now you are called to dress the garden. Let not the weeds and wild plants remain.

Page 89 - But the spring comes first. 0, how beautiful is the spring in a barren field, where barrenness and deadness fly away. As the spring comes on, the winter casts her coat and the summer is nigh. O, wait to see and read these things within. You that have been as barren and dead and dry, without sap ; unto you the Sun of righteousness is risen with healing in his wings and begins to shine in your coasts.
