whole recommended. the passage of the bill,
with certain amendments The amend
ments were agreed to in bulk. Sayers
moved to re-commit the bill with instruc-
sions to strike out the provision for the
battleshps This motion was lost, % TO
1919, and the bill was passed without dlvl-
sion.
I McCrcary reported the result OF the con-
terence upon the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill-an agreement upon all
he items save the appropriation Tor the
Hawaiian cable. The report was agreed
20. and McCreary moved that the House
instist upon its disagreement to the Ha-
yaiian cable amendment McCreny SAID
if the government was to construct this
able. it must build cables to Samoa,
Japan and China and other places, and If
if built submarine cables then it must
)uild railroads and operate them such
1 policy could never meet his approval.
McCreary said that our relations With
Hawaii had already been expensive. Inc
reciprocity treaty of 1876, giving Hawaiian
sugar and rice free entry into the United
States, cost us sos, 600, 900. I'VE have the
commerce of the islands, " he said, what
10 we need of this cable?" Heis in favor
If the cable, but he wanted it built by
private enterprise. A company OF wealthy
gentlemen stool ready to lay the cable,
not only to Hawaii, but 80 China, as soon
As Congress would incorporate them.
There was no emergency for the proposed
able and there was no commerce de-
handing it.
Boutelle called attention to the fact that
40 port in the world had entered and
cleared in the past year so much Amerl-
can tonnage as Honolulu.
HIT moved that the House concur in
the Senate amendment. He said the
question was not a political one. The
amendment was put in the bill by the joint
,ction of patriotic men of all parties in
mother part of the Legislature. 1t had
been recommended by the President of the
United States, a Democrat.
Hit said there would be no profit in
cable between the United States and
Hawaii and if it was to be constructed it
would have to be constructed by the gov
srnment. If the United States did not
act, Hawaii would be compelled to ask
england to do so. He read from the an
nual messages of President Cleveland of
1856 and 1888, in both of which the Chlef
Executive said the Importance of securing
Geographic communication with Hawaii
by Congressional action, was not to be
overlooked.
Hit spoke at length of the political
necessity of having control of the cable to
Hawaii and quoted largely from English
md colonial officials to show how they
viewed the matter. Without disposing OF
the question the House adjourned.

and pink. rare ana common, hothouse
and wild flowers were massed together.
They were all love offerings, and this is
the reason that simple bunch of blue
wild violets found place in ono corner
Of the altar almost hidden by splendid
display of roses. Only one person saw
them, except the young women of the
Altar guild, who, laboring for love, ar
range the flowers for Easter and other
feast days.
She sat in one of the front pews, and
she was dressed in plain black, very
plain and common black, such as other
washerwomen wear when their children
die. She saw the violets, and her one
wish was that the little girl who had
brought them to town from the old stone
bridge and had cared for them all year
for this very Easter altar were only
alive to see them too.
1t was great congregation befitting
great church and a still greater feast
day. From the doors to the chancel rail

SHE FOUND THE Wv

courtyard. Long before midsummer
came they had seen more of life than
they and all the other violets along the
Rye road could ever have dreamed of,
giving violets imaginations equal even
to their fragrance.
They saw Blind Flaherty, the beggar
man, beat his lame boy over by the sink
until the police came in, and after them
an ambulance. One awful afternoon
they saw the wife of Micky Donovan,
the prizefghter, jump from the fifth
story window of her room and fall on
the pavement in sprawling heap
white, black and red-and she did not
even moan when she was picked up.
They also saw Paddy McKeever, him
that drives the bakers cart meet Sally
just outside the gate in the shadow the
night before they ran away and were
married. They liked this, and they also
liked the hand organ man who some
times played in the street outside the
court while the children danced to its
strains. These things reminded them of
the country road, and they were better
for seeing and hearing them. 1t is
great mistake to think that wild flowers
forget their country homes when they
are planted in town pots. If you do not
believe this, just take your spring flow
ers back to the brook meadows and see
how quickly they will revive at one
Whit of the fresh, soft air.
In stormy weather she took them in
side the room, and when the weather
grew cold they stood on shelf facing
the window beside the stove, where it
was always warm.
That is the way the violets lived from
early in May or late in June until the
winter had gone and Easter had almost
come.
tn town there is great church. 1t
IS rich and beautiful. The sunlight that
streams through tho stained windows is
purple, blue and golden, and sometimes
tho figure of q saint wondrously col
ored is cast across the chancel floor.
The little girl who picked the violets
used to go to this great church. and she
was welcomed here because it is great
church.
Good Friday, with its seven services,
had passed, and tho Lenten trappings of
gloom were being taken away to make
place for the Easter flowers. There were
lilies, roses, orchids, violets, palms and
Towering shrubs. There were great
wreaths of greens hung from tho pulpit,
and the baptismal fount was all white

every pew was filled, and there were
chairs in the aisles. These were filled,
too, and back of them all men and wo-
men stood, The front pews in this
church are given up ON Easter day to
the poor Of the parish. The children
from the orphanage and the capped and
bonneted women from the Aged Ones
home filled several rows on the right,
and on the left were the men and wom-
en- and children who OH ordinary Sun
days sit far back under the gallery over
the vestibule. They teach that Gods
Son rose from the dead Oh Easter day
for rich and poor alike in this great
church.
The chimes in the belfry had finished
their song, the big A bell had given the
last of its three taps, and the suborgan-
ist in the choirroom had taken his note
from it.
Coward, Christian Soldiers" was
the hymn, and the great congregation
outside heard it sung behind closed
doors. Then came the Amen" louder
than the melody, richer and fuller.
The choirroom doors opened, and the
choristers, robed in white and black,
marched out. The great organ in the
ohanoel caught up the air and led the
singers. First came the trebles, sweet
and high. Then the altos, they came
next, and made second in the harmony.
After them came the tenors, and last of
all the bassos. Then the harmony was
complete:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to
war,
With the cross Of Jesus going on before.
That is the refrain. That is what the
whole choir sang as they faced each 9th
er from the opposite sides Of the chan
Gel, and it's mighty strains rang through
the church like the strain of q band
marching at the head Of an army into
battle.
After the service came the sermon.
The preacher was an old man, with
white, silken hair. You have seen skein
of silk Oh a cold day. The threads stand
out, one apart from the other. That is
the way his fine white hair stood out
from his head. It was like nimbus
frosted His voice was low and soft and
sweet. He had sung as treble in that
choir 80 years before. Then he was
tenor, and now for more than 80 years
he had been the rector.
Il am going to say something to you
today that have said to you every Eas-
ter day for 30 long years.
That is the way the sermon began.
Christ, my children, rose from the
dead ON Easter day, but before he rose
he died. Some day we may rise and

AN EASTER FLOWER.
By BENJAMIN NoRTHRUP.
lCopyright, 1895, by American Press Associs

tCopyright, 1895, by American Press Associa-
Just out Of tho city there is a long
winding road which takes you over the
low hills to tho sands on tho beach.
A bracliish stream of tide water crosses
the road, which is spanned by a stone
bridge No one now living was born
when this bridge was built. 1t is crack
ed with age, stained and moss covered,
and III the crevices grass, flowers and
tiny shrubs grow. On some of the stones
wandering missionary has painted
signs praising God and calling upon the
wicked to repent before it is too late.
Over the widest crevice this is painted:
blessed arc the pure in heart, for
they shall see God"
Under this in little grotto some blue
violets had grown, snugly sheltered
from the sun and storm.
1t was late in May or early in June
when she came over the cracked stone
bridge ON her way to the beach. She
had never been in the country before.
She had been in the park once, but that
was when she was very small child,
and she had forgotten almost how it
looked.
Under the shades of the old bridge
the children of the Fresh Air fund stop
ped for luncheon, and she and the other
little girls took Off their shoes and stock
ings and padded in the creek. After the
sandwiches and apples, doughnuts and
cakes, she found the violets and dug
them out She had never seen anything
so beautiful before. They were prettier
than all the Easter flowers in the east
side shop windows, and they smelled
sweeter Besides that, she herself had
found them, and they were her own.
All afternoon, while the other chill
dren played in the sands, she played
with her violets, picking the soft black
earth rrom their roots to see how small
and pink they were, and opening and
closing the half blown buds to see the
fresh blue hid under the green shells
If some older girl who knew all about
the country and wild flowers this being
her second summer in the Fund, if this
experienced girl had not told her that
violets cannot stand such prying treat
ment, they never would have lived to
reach the town.
1t is not far from down Rye way at
the stone bridge to down Battery way
at the sea wall. Two hours. That is all
if you take fast train, and violets will
live long time when you bury their
roots in moistened earth and let the BIOS
SONS alone Therefore, when she reach
ed her home in Battle Court, the flowers
were as almost fresh and sweet as they
were in their grotto in the bridge.
A cracked stone pitcher became their
new home. and on pleasant days they
stood outside on the kitchen window sill
and looked down OH the stone tagged
