1. Consider the grass for

(1)  its beauty;

(2)  its utility;

(3)  the characteristic virtues of the grass of the fields:

(a)  its humility;

(b)  its cheerfulness;

(c)  as an emblem of human life.

2. Consider it, particularly, in the places where your dead are lying. What Golgoth as would be our cemeteries did not the grass grow there more green and more abundant, if possible, than almost anywhere beside!

(Homiletic Review.)

WEB: God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth;" and it was so.
