The Gleaner Vol 3 January 1914 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 3: April, 1914 The earth robes herself with a vivid mantle of green, as if by the art of a wondrous magician. We livein an enchanted medium. The balmy breezes heal, amend and soften. Nature - the trees, the waters, the hills, the skies - awak en the soul and inspire the affec tions. Everything becomes per meated with the spirit of life, ac tion and enjoyment. Uncon sciously we become animated and gay. Unwittingly we submit to the charms of spring. The pulse quickens, blood circluates more freely, the heart dilates and accel erates Induracy it self_is' no proof against the mys terious influence of spring. A feel ing bordering close on' inspira tion finds its way even into the bosom of the sad and perverted. So powerful is the appeal of spring, so strong and gripping its influence, so vital and illimitable its interest that it cannotfail to strike a sensitive chord in the hu man breast. It spares neither the arrogant leaders nor-the submis sive h'erd. The atmosphere itself seems to be laden with the great universal secret - life.
