Excerpt from Jesus in the Cornfield: Sermons for Harvest and Flower Festivals It is good to live in the country, for there we seem nearer to God than in a noisy city.

Excerpt from Jesus in the Cornfield: Sermons for Harvest and Flower Festivals It is good to live in the country, for there we seem nearer to God than in a noisy city. Processes are natural rather than artificial; and what we see around us is not manufactured with fret and toil, but grows silently in the sunshine. Those who are country-born and country-bred have some advantages over those who struggle for an existence in a crowd. Jesus Himself was a Villager: born in a manger, cradled amid meek-eyed oxen, brought up in the hamlet of Nazareth, where flowers and corn grew on the hillside and birds sang in the trees, While the little hills rejoiced on every Side. There our Lord was trained. Thence He went to Tiberias or to Jerusalem, to rebuke vice, to live a clean and Simple life amid bad surroundings, and to make more wholesome a society which but for Him was pesti ferous. And still our cities largely owe their physical and moral health to the wholesome current Of life which is always flowing into them from the country. This will be true in proportion as Jesus, the world's Redeemer, is seen walking through the corn, ready to teach all who will listen.
