“WELCOME, CHILDREN,” SHE SAID.“WELCOME TO YOUR COTTAGE”
David and Ruth looked into one another’s eyes. The song re-echoed in their hearts. The stranger and his friends had left them, and they were quite alone.
They looked about. The Bird sang again. The music drew them forward in the direction whence it came. Before them they saw a rose-covered cottage. The door opened, and the beautiful little old woman of the Mansion of Happiness stood before them, smiling.
“Welcome, children,” she said. “Welcome to your cottage.”
David and Ruth had reached the end of their long, long journey. Through it all they had been learning to love one another, so that they were worthy to become husband and wife.
They live in the little rose-covered cottage, within the shadow of the Temple ofWisdom. Many, many times they have entered the Temple and seen the wonderful Tree; and many, many times to come, they shall enter it again.
So we must think of them as living in their rose-covered home built within the Garden that lies in the midst of the Forest Beyond the Woodlands.
