SWAYING TREE TOPS 



points to the tree of knowledge and 

 says, " Its fruits shall open the eyes, 

 and thou shall know and see the city 

 beneath yonder smoky cloud on the 

 distant horizon." He rejects the fruit 

 of the tree that will reveal the city. 

 Other fruit there is, whose flavor is 

 times more delicate and whose satis- 

 faction more enduring. What cares 

 that man for the city he prefers the 

 freshness, and beauty, and spiritual 

 life of his country Eden. Blessed is 

 that man because of his common 

 sense. 



Some resident of the city some 

 devotee at its shrine, takes exception 

 to this. But let such one know that 

 cities are not productive of men. The 

 city takes the country's offering be- 

 cause it must have it to endure.
