CANADIAN WILD FLOWERS:
SELECTIONS FROM THE WRITINGS OF
MISS HELEN M. JOHNSON,
OF MAGOG, P.Q., CANADA
WITH A SKETCH OF HER LIFE
BY REV. J. M. ORROCK
Good thoughts spring from the human mind
Like flowers out the ground:
Attractive, fragrant, beautiful,--
To make our joys abound
PREFACE.
An observance of the hand of God in his providences, as well as of his
Spirit in the written Word and in the human heart, has led to the
publication of this book. Though more than twenty years hare passed
since Miss JOHNSON died, her name is like "an ointment poured forth."
Many who never knew her personally seem to know her well from her
poetic writings: for "as fragrance to the sense of smell, music to the
ear, or beauty to the eye, so is poetry to the sensibilities of the
heart,--it ministers to a want of our intellectual nature; this is the
secret of its power and the pledge of its perpetuity.
