But the child didn't forget Her mind

Goldman who made blind folkses see.
There was unusual excitement at the
big stone church just round the corner.

were the little Simpsons. were in ten se1y

Grover Cleveland was her favorite. He
was nine years old and very long

So Easter Lily finally succeeded in
drawing him to a more secluded spot.
where she confided to him a little plan
of her own.

''We'se all right, nanny" Easter
Lily assured her. And glad to see the
child happy the mother let them alone.
Service was nearly over at the big
church round the corner. The choir of
white-robed boys was marching slow
~ down the aisle, singing in their sweet,
clear voices the hymn so full of inspira-
ton, especially to the confirmation
class: Onward, Christian Soldiers"
Then slowly the large congregation
passed out, and at last the church was
empty save the bishop aud the rector,
who were still kneeling at. the chancel.
Suddenly the sacred silence was
broken by the patter of four little feet

at least half an hour (Which the good
man never recalls without vivid rec
objection of mingled odors of bacon,
cabbage and soap suds), he appeared
accompanied by Mrs. Simpson and Eas-
ter Lily, the excitement reached pitch
which became almost panicky.
For days afterward Mrs. Simpson
found her popularity as hostess al
most equal to that of " 'ristocratic white
folks" and she never tired of telling
the wonderful story Of the bishops
visit, and how he took her and Easter
Lily to a great doctor who had cured
heaps of blind people, and who thought
he could cure little Easter Lily too.

But Easter Lily was too much in ear

only clutched the harder. and looking

Easter Lily.
Don't wait for me-" said the bishop
to the rector, who was absolutely
speechless. His voice trembled, and
there were tears in his eyes; those eyes
that never failed to look kindly upon all
who needed his help. Taking a seat he
lifted the little girl in his lap. and in
few simple words told her the story of
the Goldman as she had never heard it
before, and explained that he had no
power to restore her sight.
The children listened with intense
interest. Then. gently putting her
down, he told her brother to take her
home, asking their names and address.
Then a carriage came for him, and in a
few minutes he was gone.
The children stood there hand in
hand in dazed sort of way. till the
sexton made his appearance to turn out
the lights.

grief to Mrs. Simpson Her chief COM

somehow conferred certain distinc-

blind child. and she took particular
pride in leading Easter Lily up the aisle.

In woodland. vale and meadow
The birds glad carols ring,
And swelling buds and blossoms
Remind us of the spring.
The foaming, dashing river
Rejoicing to be free,
Goes madly leaping onward
To join the distant sea;
In natures heart the current
OF life hoods flowing strong,
The reign of death is ended,
The world is filed with song.
Old winters chains are broken.
The earth awakeS from sleep,
And joins with us in worship
This Easter day to keep.
While those with sorrow laden
Lift up in praise their voice,
The dreary night has vanished.
The nations ali rejoice.
Oh, glorious Easter morning,
The message that you brinF
Is dearer than the sunlight
Or fairest flowers of spring,
For all the bells are ringing,
And in one sweet accord
They tell the joyful story
Of Christ, the risen Lord.
The Easter lilies blooming.
With incense fill the air,
The rosy sunlight fingers
Within each chalice fair;
And carols sweet ascending
Are waited to the skies.
