The soul is stored with ungrown seeds and chilled roots and
frozen sentiments, and they need only the light and warmth
of the love and truth of God to turn bareness into beauty,
ignorance into culture, sin into obedience and self-sacrifice.
Travelers tell us about the sand wastes in Idaho, that under the
soft touch of a stream of water they are turned into a garden,
waving with flowers and fruit. All this is a symbol of the
transformation of the soul. These far-off lands and darkened
peoples that are now deserts shall to-morrow become pools of
water, and oases, filled with palm-trees and fountains.--N.
