a writer says:-There is an
eastern story, of a boy having
challenged his teacher to prove
to him the existence of a God,
by working a miracle. Tho
teacher procured a large vessel
filled with earth, in which he de-
posted kernel, in the boys
presence, and babe him pay at
tention. In the place where the
kernel was put, a green shoot
seen appeared, the shoot became
a stem, the stem put forth leaves
and branches. which soon spread
over the whole apartment. 1t
then budded with blossoms,
which, dropping of, left golden
fruits in their place, and in the
short space of an hour there ap-
peared a noble tree in the place
Of the little seed. The youth,
overcome with amazement, ex-
claimed: "Now | know there is
a God, for | have seen his pow
er!" The teacher smiled at him
and said, ''SimpIe child, do you
only now believe? Does not
what you have just seen take
place in innumerable instances,
year after year, only by a slower
process But is it the less mar
yeIlous on that account2"
