And then another writer. John Ray. 'wav back’.in *11'7(1]
made this enmurai’isig wisecrack about the weather "A
green winter, makes a fat ehni'ch-yard "
But there are more ,< n< oiirm’Jng tbj.iif hts'alioiit winter i
than there are th kind we m'imted a! ajjove. IAt m- I

“If ye walk in my statiiti . and ki er m\ commandm nt . ano .

Leviticus 2(».’1-1: "Sing nrai • upon the. ipirp. unto God who

After all let’s bo hanpv about the weather we can do
nothing about it anil, wouldn’t if wo vhtikl. Let’s think of
weather in the manner in.which the Hoosier poet. James
'Whitcomb Riley once voiced it:
"It hain't.no use to grumble and complain, .
„ It’s jest as easy to rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and
Sends the rain, . -*
Why rafh’s my choice.”
