And Ma looked on with a puzzled smile as Lydia and Billy burst into sudden shrieks of laughter. "Abiding love! Those humans who know it, become an essential part of nature's scheme." The Murmuring Pine. Lydia returned to her college work the Monday after the Junior Prom, a little thinner, and her color not quite so bright as usual, but in a most cheerful frame of mind.
Cardinal d'Ossat was doubtless more prudent than a madman in Bedlam; but is it not clear that the organs of d'Ossat the sage were made otherwise than those of the scatter-brain? just as a fox's organs are different from a stork's and a lark's. Your doctor saved your aunt; but assuredly he did not in that contradict nature's order; he followed it.
"Not while life is here and eternity beyond," he said, reassuringly. "What if a soul lies dormant and will not arouse?" she asked. "There are souls that have no motive low enough for earth, but only high enough for heaven," he said, with evident intention, looking almost directly at her.

Now the same principle is to be recognized in dealing with things spiritual.
There 'twas his good fortune to find a pretty shepherdess feeding her bleating sheep and harmless lambkins on the brow of a neighbouring mountain, in the shade of an adjacent grove; near her, some frisking kids tripped it over a green carpet of nature's own spreading, and, to complete the landscape, there stood an ass.
The colour of these hills was the colour of Nature's eyes. There was silence too such wonderful silence, one could hear one's own heart beating. Such a morning was indeed what Richter calls a "still-creation-day," that still silence of the heart that prefaces new revelation, as the brooding of the dove on the waters the creation of a world.
