(The flower thine eye beholdest to-day, Hath in God's spirit bloomed eternally.) Angelus Silesius, 1650. Flowers are thoughts of the Spirit of God, Their love is love of his grace, Their fragrance is breath of divinity. Their beauty, the light of his face. Let us begin by giving a few simple language lessons to find out what the children know and think about the com- mon plants. We may ask them first to describe and name the chief forms of plants that they know. They will prob- ably group them somewhat as indicated for the higher plants, in the table on the following page. To some of the lower groups their attention will have to be called by common specimens and descriptions. Next we may ask them to write the names of all the plants they know. After the lists are handed in, one of the pupils may be asked to write the following table on the black- board and all the children to copy it into their note- Fig. 42. Bloodroot.
