A sunset can be very Lrorgeous, especially in the dust laden a ir of the desert. There 18 ill a sunset over a cialm sea, wbnderful beauty and a certain attraction drawing us westward along the red track, in the waters, which may have something, to do with the fact th a t man's migrations have usually been in th a t direction. And, as wo Who live in this province of B ritish Columbia know, the high mountain ranges have a m ajesty unsurptfesed by even the most violent of tropical storm s on th e ocean. But in a garden is peace. ■ ■■ ̂ ■ " That is why civilized man has a ll .down the , ages en­ deavored to make his. gardens beautiful. Uisually also, in order that the peace within may not be disturbed, he has fre­ quently surrounded them with high walls or placed them in ' a iiatural am phitheatre of high ground. Even the birds recognize th a t a garden provides an asylum for them from , th e ir enemies, and so they come and build their nests there, in order th a t they may raise their young undisturbed by. the animals and other birds which prey on them in th e world outside. ; ! We live in a world th a t , has gone mad. A modern Ghengis Khan but w ithout that, leader's greatness is oiit to conquer and destroy civilization and everything th a t civilization s ta n d s^ for. And he is backed by a, host of followers equally as crueP and ferocious as the T a rta r hordes which swept across Europe in that testing tim e centuries ago. To-day there is little bu t disturbing news in the news­ papers and over the radio.
