A TRAD1rioN OF THE ARABS king
Nimrod one day commanded his three
sons to enter his presence, and he
caused to be pladed before them by his
slaves three sealed urns. One of the
urns was of gold, the second of amber,
and the last of clay. The king desir-
ed his eldest son to choose among them
that which appeared to contiin the
treasure of greatest price. The eldest
chose the vase Of gold, on which was
written Empire He opened it and
found it full of blood. The second
chose the amber vase, on which was
written Glory He opened it and
found It filled with the ashes of men
who ha! been famous on earth. The
third took the remaining vase-that of
clay He opened it and found 1t emp
ty; but in the bottom Of the vase the
potter had written one of the names of
God. (Which Of these vases weighs
most'' demanded the king of his court.
The ambitious replied, the vase ofgold ;
the oonquerors, the vase of amber; the
sages answered and said, sThe mpty
vase, because a single lotter in the
name of God weighs more than the en-
tire globe
