Moses places the creation of vegetables on the .4hird day of creation, after the pro duction of light and atmosphere and after the waters receded, from the land. . The arrangement of the solar system came afterward. . The plants and seeds began the operations of germinating in the darkness and moisture and slight heat of the ground at times wherein they found a living principle of vegetation, though in their growth ,and flower they required the beams of the sun. ( One writer has said, "There must be internal force and external stimu lus. Neither is enough in itself." A rose will not flower in the dark, and a fern will not flower anywhere." Spain is said to have nothing, barren in it or not in some way useful. This is. possible to our lives and our work, whatever it be. hwA Signed' March IT, 1019.
