Five grains of wheat will be endued with heavenly blessing, whereas a
thousand tons of tares will yield no results or effect. One fruitful tree
will be conducive to the life of society, whereas a thousand forests of
wild trees offer no fruits. The plain is covered with pebbles, but
precious stones are rare. One pearl is better than a thousand wildernesses

divine blessing. Erelong thousands of other pearls will be born from it.
When that pearl associates and becomes the intimate of the pebbles, they
also all change into pearls.

Greenland and the home of the Eskimos.

must also forget entirely the defects of the world of nature. They must be
baptized with the water of life, the fire of the love of God and the
breaths of the Holy Spirit; be satisfied with little food, but take a
large portion from the heavenly table. They must disengage themselves from
temptation and covetousness, and be filled with the spirit. Through the
effect of their pure breath, they must change the stone into the brilliant
ruby and the shell into pearl. Like unto the cloud of vernal shower, they
must transform the black soil into the rose garden and orchard. They
