cluster of lilies, and read:
Everybody forgives everybody

A great desire to cry out with

him, but he got up quietly and
slipped into the vestry. taking
the flowers with him.

vaguely wondered which car.
ried sincerity with it and which
meant to deceive.
There had been an order for
roses, heliotrope and palms
that had quite upset her nerves.
1t was a wedding and, some
how, before she knew it, great
tears were shining on the beau
teous blossoms. Such Il start
as it gave her, to be sure; but
the bride would never know.
Toward evening she had two
orders for church decorations,
and one of these made her home.
sick. 1t was for Joy Memorials
chancel rail.
1t was now quite dark, and
Bernice was nodding in the
little chair over by the window.
Joyce Carroll cut the inventory
squarely across by opening her
eyes and beginning again where
she had left off.
Nothing but leaves; nothing
but rubbish" she said, taking
up Il whisk and turning on the
light.
Bernice reused up from her
nap, rubbed her sleepy eyes
with her pink palms and came
over to where the meditative
florist was putting things to
right" Mamma" she yawned,
'I'm awfully tired cause every
body hurried so to-day. What's
everybody's going to do with
so many tlowers?"
They want them for to.mor-
row, the glad Eastertime, dear. "

the mother could speak the
little chatterer answered her
own question. 20, l know;
Auntie Farnham said everybody

sus rose"
Joyce Carol stopped short in
her efforts to tie up a refractory
vine. Was this a message from
the father, or only childish pratt
tie? Forgive? Of course she
would, that minute, with heart
and soul; but-would be? Mer-
ciful Heaven! if she might but

over again that day before
Easter two years ago. He was
running over solo for the
Easter service; she remembered
stanza yet:
"Christ is risen; Christ is risen;
We, His own, now glad, forgiven:
Shall rise because He rose"
Then Came the quarrel, and.
Well, the fragrant lilies she
had knotted together with white
ribbon to carry to the service
that lovely Easter morning
withered on the top of the piano.
She did not go; the solo was
never sung and Cyril-spent the
day in his room; and at even

But tonight an inspiration
seized her. In a moment it
flashed over her. The pretty,
regular features lost their sor-

other
Why! mamma, has somebody
or dered more lilies:
Yes, Bernice," answered the
mother, they are to so to Joy
Memorial right away. We are
to take them down in a few
minutes, dear"
A heavenly smile transform
ed her features as she knelt and
kissed the wondering child.
Joyce knew the church would
be open, tor the choir practiced
at this hour, and, doubtless,
the decorating committee were
there yet.
whats that you put in
among the blossoms, mamma; a
letter."
Yes, dear, a little mite of a
letter"
What does it say, mamna?'
persisted the child, curiously.
1T says everybody forgives
everybody at Eastertime;' isn't
that right, dearest?"
Eyes, mamma" and the child
waltzed about the room in an
ecstacy of expectation of once
more beholding the loved place
CT worship. She remembered
where they used to sit when
papa stood up to sing. She was
taller some now, but she was
sure that when he came back he
would still know her.
when will papa come, NAM
MAJ" she asked crossing her
white arms on the counter where
her mother was writing some
thing, and looking up with a
great longing in her face.
What ails the child, tonight
of all nights?" whispered the
hungry hearted wife with quiv-
ering lips. "She stabs me to
the hearts center; will she keep
on until shall not be able to
work to my purpose?' No, she
would find the way, somehow.
Cyril would not know, of course,
but God would see and send
him back to them!
"Bernice," she said, slowly,
Papa will come as soon as he
can, I think. Now, please ask
me no more questions, dear;
mamma is very, very tired"
And by something in her
mothers look and tone, Bernice
sought the familiar chair and
fell to wondering at the things
she could not understand.
Not until her mother said:
"Get your wraps, dear" did she
resume the gladstone spirit of
childhood. Then in a great
furry she indicted herself into
cloak and cap, and stood wait
ing.
Not in all the ten years OF her
life had Bernice Carol looked
so much like her father. Joyce
turned away and put her hands
over her eyes; memories Hooded
up SO!
"Are you afraid of me NAM
MAJ" queried the child, coming
round the big heliotrope and
brushing it's fragrant blossoms
as she passed, in order to see
the dear mother face.
my child, didn't mamma say
don't ask questions?'" She
took the perturbed face between
her cold palms and kissed away
the shadow.

shed it's glory over all.

The light through the stained
glass gave ruddy look to the
face of Joyce as she helped Ber-
nice up the steps. A blessed
welcome fairly beamed upon
them, even in the vestibule.
The organ was throbbing out a
glad, praiseful prelude, and she
felt as if Heavens gates were
truly open about her. The jan.
itor followed her aside. 1.-THE
new soloist has come" he ex-
claimed, 1.-THE one you wrote
to-" thinking she was one of the
music committee.
1.-THE new soloist." How
ev erybody combated her pur-
pose. Where was the old SOLO
list? She leaned against the
wall a moment to regain her
composure.
Haven't had such a tenor
since Carol went away" the
janitor continued; just hear him
sing"
YES" answered Joyce, lit is
fine;" but she heard nothing,
there was such a buzzing in her
ears.
lawfully grand it is going to
be- he went on; ''lillies and
lilies, impressive programme,
new tenor, and ALL"
Joyce looked around. Where
was Bernice? It seemed an age
since they came into the church.
The child had not waited, but
had gone on into the auditori.
UNI.
When the soft light fell ronnd
her and the decorations burst
on her admiring gaze, great
sigh of satisfaction escaped her
lips.
There stood the big pipe or
gan in it's old place, and she
knew the organ boy was behind
that screen. She remembered
how she used to admire his
short flaXen curls and blue tie,
and wonder if he didn't work
harder in his part of the service
than the minister did in his.
She wandered down the fra.
grant isle as one in a lovely
dream, not conscious that she,
herself, was the most beautiful
thing in this Eastertide picture.
But the new soloist who had
retired to the right, giving
place to quartette, saw her.
He shut his book on his finger
and felt strangely moved. Her
white cap, like a big snowflake
resting on the wealth of dark
hair, and the luXuriaut curls
straying down over the feecy
white wrap suggested the glory
OF woman in Holy Writ.
And Bernice wondered why
mamma did not come in. What
would she do with the offering?
o, yes; there was the man over
there where papa used to sit;
he was the committeeman, sure
ly,.as he was not singing. She
went up the altar steps and
handed him the box.
"This is our Easter Offering"
she said. He took the package.
Her voice, her face. He drew
his handkerchief across his be-
wildered vision and read the
name on the wrapper. Looking
after the child he gasped out:
Little one" But she had gone
around to see Teddy work the
