When the Span ish missionaries, following In the steps of the Invaders of South America, discovered the gorgeous passion fower, they deemed it to be sent them as an aid In converting the natives to the Cristian religion. The flower Is dedicated to All Saint's day. At the request of Queen Victoria, a wreath of passion flowers was laid upon the grave of Abraham Lincoln. THE I NTERPRET T1 ( ) The Spanish missionaries thought It to be the most wonderful illustrat ion of the cross triumphant In tho nature world. The following sym bolic Interpretation wa sglven. The column rising from the center of the flower represents the beam of the cross, while the small stems above It represent the nails Abovo the column Is the corona which sym bolizes the crown of thorns, whllo the veil of fine hairs, amounting to 72. signifies the number of thorns. The seed vessel Is tho sponjrc filled with vinegar, which quenched thirst of the Savior, and the five, vivid red spots upon each of tho leaves aro His five wounds. Because "f this, the Spaniards call It the flower of tho flv e wounds. WHAT SEPALS REPRESENT The five sepals and the five petals ar the ten apostles. Judas, the be I trayer. and Peter, who denied tho : Savior, being omitted. Thc leaves, being singly on the stem, signify that there is but one Ood. but tesetlfy to the Trinity by being triplicates In form The bell shape which the flower takes when opening and fading was Interpreted as meaning that God doees not choose to reveal His power until such time as His wisdom deems best If tho plant is cut down. It grows again readily and this means that no one who bears In his heart tho love of Ood can bo harmed by the evil of tho world. on In the South African diamond mines the precious stones arc distri buted so evenly that 100 tons of tho bluish clay will ylold about 100 karats of diamonds.
