The Legend Of the LiIy.

Once, long ago, when the earth WIS
young, an angel was wandering
through its verdant fields searching for
q flower to make an offering to his
Heavenly Father. Rich was the color
and sweet the perfume of these earthly
stars. but how gaudy they were in his
mind!
"a pure white fower!" he murmured:
but though he searched long and dill,
gently he could not find one.
Disappointed and weary he sat
down on q stone and wept. The crys-
tai tears fell down his robe and sank
into the ground. Immediately a lily
sprang up SO pure and sweet that the
angel. with a joyous burst of song.
straightway gathered it and few on
high to the throne of God, and, kneel-
ing. laid the offering at His feet.
His Creator, beholding the graceful
white flower, said to His faithful SER
want:
.Because of thy zeal in my service.
