a child so. They both come out of the world- 

 ' old Mystery, and are parts of a plan that I 

 believe to be good. I think, too, that if we but 

 rightly discern, we will find that "all that lives 

 creates its own harmony." 



Yes, there are voices in the garden. Every- 

 thing that lives has its truth to teach, and 

 if our hearts are attuned to the meaning of 

 things, we too shall hear The Voice that the 

 first man and woman heard in that garden 

 which God planted in Eden so long ago. 



Many reverent souls tell us that they have 

 heard that Voice in the garden. Ruskin says, 

 "And so it is with external Nature; she has a 

 body and a soul like man, but her soul is the 

 Deity." 



O, see a world in a grain of sand, 

 And a heaven in a wild flower, 



sang the poet Blake, and Mrs. Browning wrote 



There's not a flower can grow upon the earth 

 Without a flower upon the spiritual side. 

 Earth is full of heaven 

 And every common bush afire with God.
