He stood still. waiting for her to leave
him and enter the church. But she did
not move. He must have been strangely
unobservant not to have noted the look
of tenderness that suddenly burst all re-
pressive bonds, instructive and conscious,
and glowed eloquently in her eyes, not to
have penetrated to the deliberate design
hidden under the surface of her next
speech.

"A lily that still stands in a Grecian

Somewhat faded?"
"Yes, poor flower"
"But, the old story being finished" she
said, speaking with increasing haste and
very low, ''and the hero still young, what's
to prevent beginning another story-with
another lily"
She held out the flower in her hand.
The man, surprised at her manner and
her action, and not Immediately awake
to their significance, did not move or
speak.
The girl, appalled, by his hesitation,
hastily drew back the proffered lily. Her
face became crimson, and she turned and
hurried confusedly from him, passing
with the throng up the steps and into the
church.
In the vast arched interior her senses
met subdued light after the sunshine, the
hum of discreet conversation, the soft
footballs of worshipers going to their
seats, the rustic of women's gowns, the
Odor of flowers, the colored rays that fell
obliquely from the stained glass window.
The man remained standing outside be-
wildered. After a few seconds the girls
meaning dawned upon him. Thereupon
he began to twirl his nustache rapidly,

~ UNLIGHT was in the sky, upon
the streets, over all things. The
~ sound of church bells rose above the
noise of voices and of footballs on the
sidewalk What light, charming cos
tunes the women wore, and the men
how carefully dressed and how expressive
of admiration and desire to be especially
amiable.
One tall man, who looked prematurely
grave for thirty years. walked alone Few
passers- by noticed his face. OF those few
some wondered that such melancholy was

this most radiant of Easter days.

she said, in greeting. You see, haven't

are" he replied, carelessly. as he started
forward by her side. "But why do you
bring your Shakespearean knowledge to

"Doleful! And on such a morning!
It's wicked to be sad in sunshine like

More glad Easter music rose to his ears.
The church seemed to thrill with the Te
Deum festival. He remained insensible
to the notes of the organ and the great
composite voice of the choir. Since he
must betake himself from the possibility
of meeting her again, where should he
go? Meditating upon this, he sat indiffer-

An Easter Thought.
Beneath the winters mounded snow
The frozen world insensate lay;
1t knew not of the winds that blow,
Of gathering night or dawning day.
The giant trees with branches bare,
Moved in the wind with moaning signs,
No bird-songs foated on the air,
And rose in triumph to the skies.
But see, what miracle is this?
Again the prisoned waters flow,
The green earth throbs with conscious
bliss,
Again the south winds softly blow.
From lands afar the birds come back
To woodland nook or sheltered grove,
Through fields of air without track,
Each to the nest it learned to love.
And He whose hand revives each flower,
Who hides the birds from Winters
breath,
Who gives to Spring, life as her dover,
Can He not save a soul from death?
o mark how leaf and blossom wave
Where lately all was bare and gray,
And doubt not, risen from the grave,
Our Lord and Saviour lives to-day.
Leisure Hours.

and ran up the steps without turning to
look at the speaker. He pushed his way
up the stairs and forward to a place on
the front row of seats in the gallery, q
feat difficult because of the Easter crowd,
but to him easy by reason of his abstrac-

On organ, pillar and archway-
On altar, chancel, and stair.
In the moment of holy silence,
When the opening hymn was DER,
A little rustling sound
Was heard from the open door.
There stood baby girl
She was not over four
And her apron was full of flowers,
So full it could hold no more,
She looked so sweet as she stood there,
The sunlight in each fair curl,
And blue sash trailing behind her,
Dear, brown-eyed little girl!
1--WE bring some flowers for Jesus"
The baby quietly said;
Then dropped them on the floor
And looked around in dread.
There were so many people
She had never seen before,
And she guessed-she-wa Mamma.
Sc she ran from the open door.
The sunlight kissed the flowers
Goods flowers the child had brought,
And they lay there and preached a sermon,
The text a genuine thought,
From the baby through all the people,
The spirit of giving spread,
And the gifts that day were large
BY the child's offering led.
