TO us from the Far East--that a prophet
OF Bufdha was walking through his ma
tive wilds, dreaming of the goodness OF
The Great Creative Spirit in giving so
much beauty for the joy of mortals. when
from the fullness of his gratitude he ex-
claimed aloud, All things are beautiful
and love all things Therenpon from

the embodiment of hideousness, it said.

ourselves with the outward seemlng--but.
