      There is plenty of light and heat in the desert. The occasional oases that cheer the traveler show that the soul is rich enough to grow vegetation. Water is the one thing it needs to make it a fertile garden. Sometimes a few feet beneath the surface there flows a river. If the parched and fainting pilgrim would pause and dig deep enough he might find the cool, clear water that would quench his thirst and help to save his life.

      So many a man is content to live on the surface of life and suffer thirst of soul, whereas, if he would "let down his bucket for a draught," the deeps of better inspiration--a true water of life--might always be reached.
