objection of mingled odors of bacon,
cabbage and soap suds), he appeared
accompanied by Mrs. Siiupson and Eas-

the wonderful story OF the bishops

Lily to a great doctor who had cured
heaps of blind people, and who thought
he could cure little Easter Lily too.

Soon from all the church towers of
Feldkirch the bells rang out joyously.
and the streets became thronged with
worshipers on the way to church.
Louder and more triumphantly pealed
