And the angel hovered near like a faithful sentinel. Ever and anon men came with the Master to the forest, and sat with Him in the shade of the tree, and talked with Him of matters which the tree never could understand; only it heard that the talk was of love and charity and gentleness, and it saw that the Master was beloved and venerated by the others. AND THE ANGEL HOVERED NEAR LIKE A FAITHFUL SENTINEL EVER AND ANON MEN CAME WITH THE MASTER TO THE FOREST AND SAT WITH HIM IN THE SHADE OF THE TREE AND TALKED WITH HIM OF MATTERS WHICH THE TREE CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND ONLY IT HEARD THAT THE TALK WAS OF LOVE AND CHARITY AND GENTLENESS AND IT SAW THAT THE MASTER WAS BELOVED AND VENERATED BY THE OTHERS
nd glory of the forest. One day the tree heard some one coming through the forest. Hitherto the angel had hastened to its side when men approached; but now the angel strode away and stood under the cedars yonder. "Dear angel," cried the tree, "can you not hear the footsteps of some one approaching? Why do you leave me?" "Have no fear," said the angel; "for He who comes is the Master." The Master came to the tree and beheld it. He placed His hands upon its smooth trunk and branches, and the tree was thrilled with a strange and glorious delight. Then He stooped and kissed the tree, and then He turned and went away. Many times after that the Master came to the forest, and when He came it always was to where the tree stood. Many times He rested beneath the tree and enjoyed the shade of its foliage, and listened to the music of the wind as it swept through the rustling leaves. Many times He slept there, and the tree watched over Him, and the forest was still, and all its voices were hushed. GER A LITTLE TREE BUT THE PRIDE AND GLORY OF THE FOREST ONE DAY THE TREE HEARD SOME ONE COMING THROUGH THE FOREST HITHERTO THE ANGEL HAYAT HASTENED TO ITS SIDE WHEN MEN APPROACHED BUT NOW THE ANGEL STRODE AWAY AND STOOD UNDER THE CEDARS YONDER DEAR ANGEL CRIED THE TREE CAN YOU NOT HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS OF ONE APPROACHING WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME HAVE NO FEAR SAID THE ANGEL FOR HE WHO COMES IS THE MASTER THE MASTER CAME TO THE TREE AND BEHELD IT HE PLACED HIS HANDS UPON ITS SMOOTH TRUNK AND BRANCHES AND THE TREE WAS THRILLED WITH THE STRANGE AND GLORIOUS DELIGHT THEN HE STOOPED AND KISSED THE TREE AND THEN HE TURNED AND WENT AWAY MANY TIMES AFTER THAT THE MASTER CAME TO THE FOREST AND WHEN HE CAME IT ALWAYS WAS TO WHERE THE TREE STOOD MANY TIMES HE RESTED BENEATH THE TREE AND ENJOYED THE SHADE OF ITS FOLIAGE AND LISTENED TO THE MUSIC OF THE WIND AS IT SWEPT THROUGH THE RUSTLING LEAVES MANY TIMES HE SLEPT THERE AND THE TREE WATCHED OVER HIM AND THE FOREST WAS STILL AND ALL ITS VOICES WERE HUSHED
