ow that there
was a good reason why it should be so. Eline taught them, too, how by
all working together for the welfare and progress of all, there is no
task we may not overcome.

"We know it," said the children, remembering the waste of rocks in the
plain where now the garden stood and the temple.

"Each by himself can do much, but all working together can move the
world," she said. "Now I will tell you a strange thing, which is yet
true. For we are not at all separate from any other thing in the world,
but the same nature is in us as in them--in the rocks and the flowers, in

they came to such dwellings as those where the beauty and harmony of the
building showed beauty and harmony within. And when they left the house,
always there seemed to remain a memory of their presence as a ray of
