"Well,"  said  Blancombe,  "there  is  one  consolatory  result
firom  all  that  has  been  said  hitherto,  however  much  the  three
doctrines  which  we  have  heard  expounded  may  differ,  they
agree  in  a  confession  that  there  is  something  immortal  in  man,
for  the  future  happiness  of  which  it  is  at  least  part  of  our  busi-
ness upon  earth  to  provide.  For  although  the  Miini  seemed  to
make  his  tree  of  eternal  intelligence  have  its  root  in  earth  or
nature,  while  the  A'ch^a  rather  conceives  of  his  soul-tree  as
fast  rooted  in  the  heavens  with  its  faces  in  all  directions,  yet
the  first  conceives  of  what  is  rooted  in  earth  as  branching  up
into  the  illimitable  expanse  of  immortality,  and  the  second
makes  his  heavenly  outgrowth  drop  its  pendant  boughs  along
all  the  worlds,  so  that,  like  a  venerable  banyan-tree,  it  becomes
rooted  firequently,  and  all  living  things  grow,  as  it  were,  in  its
growth.  Then  again,  although  our  wise  friend  Saddnanda  might
seem  to  have  departed  much  from  all  others,  in  that  he  removes
{Sarther  from  our  visible  world  any  need  for  a  presiding  and
controlling  intelligence,  yet  he  too  is  warned  either  by  nature,
or  by  some  monitor  either  inward  or  external,  of  the  necessary
existence  of  something,  which  must  survive  eveiy  possible  dis-
location of  our  earthly  frame,  and  which  should  disengage  itself
therefore,  in  time,  from  whatever  may  disqualify  it  for  entering
