4 Beautiful story.

had heard that if he could secure but
single leaf from the tree of life, that
grew in the garden of God. the illness
could be healed. He set out to find the
garden, and implore the angel sentinel
to let him have one leaf. The angel
asked the boy if he could promise
that his sister should never be sick
any more, if his request were granted,
and that she should never be unhappy,
nor do wrong nor he cold or hungry,
nor bc treated harshly. Then the an
gel opened the gate little way, bid
ding the child to look into the garden
for a moment, to have one glimpse of
the garden. Then, if you still wish
it, - said the angel, will myself ask
the King for leaf from the tree of
life to heal your sister" The child
looked in, ard, after seeing all the
wondrous beauty and blessedness, he
said softly to the angel, Il will not
ask for the leaf now. There is no
place in all the world SO beautiful as
that There is no friend so kind as
the Angel of Death. | wish he would
