SAID GHANDI.

‘‘The more I empty myself the more I <-;hi discover God,” said Gliandi in a recent conversation with Dr E. StnnleyJones. “ Tlie world is a well-ordered machine; and we may discover God in obeying its laws; hut no miracles are to lie expected, and it may take ages.’ And (lien (says I)r Jones), he piloted Sliankra, who said: ' lie who would find God must have as much patience as the man who would sit on the ocean beach and take up a drop ol water oil a straw and put it aside and thus empty the ocean 'by carrying away one drop of water at a time.’ As I sat there and pondered Gliandi’s words I remembered (says the interviewer), he had said that lie had not found as yet. hut when I glanced up and looked at his face I knew that lie was determined to continue this search, though it took as much patience as Sliankra had indicated, and though it might take ages of time in many births; And he would strive to empty himself to the utmost. Hut as I walk slowly hack to my little room off the weaving-shed, those words went through my mind over and over: ‘ No miracles are to be expected, and it may take ages.' And they have haunted my mind ever since.”
