OUR CHILD Is GIVEN BACK.
came to the village where the bells
were ringing with gladness for Easter
morning, and the children were carry
ing flowers to church. Margaret en-
tered softly and took her old place in
the dim corner, facing the window pic
tured with the story Of Mary In the
garden. How good 1t seemed to be
there!
The altar cloth was glistening white.
the dim aisles were sweet with the
perfume of lilies that filled the chancel.
few silent worshipers knelt at their
prayers. and Margaret bowed her own
head with thoughts as pure and sweet
with gratitude rs the breath of the
1owers.

MARGARET'S
NEW LIFE.
AN EASTER STORY.

The old gray house was filled with
sounds of hurrying to and fro, of con-
fusion and sobs and moaning cries, but
Margaret knew nothing of it all. The
girl had slipped away from every care
and was out in the fields delighting in
the first faint flush of dawn and the
pure air on her cheek. It had been a
long while since Margaret had been
out of doors.
There was such joy in every step
that she could not stop with the fields,
but kept on down the road until she

Now as she knelt in the quiet of that
holy place, Margaret wondered to hear
with the Ginning bells, soft silvery
strains of music, such as were never
heard in the little church before, and
to feel the touch of gentle hand laid
on her hair. She looked up to see the
beams of the morning sunshine stream
window palpitating with glorious light
and color, but wonder!-as she looked
again the stained window was no long
er there at all; instead opening be-
fore her on every side was a lovely
garden sweet with flowers.
"This is too good to be true" she
cried, rising in kind of rapture as she
felt the soft balm of the garden air in
her face.
Nothing is too good to be true"
said voice at her side, but Margaret
could not discover any one.
MAY I enter this rich garden?"
Margaret asked of herself, thinking Of
her poor, shabby dress, so faded and
patched, which she was always glad
to hide in the dim corner of the aisle.
But as Margaret, doubling, asked this
question, the sun shining upon her
dress, showed it to be glistening white
as the altar cloth and the lilies in the
chancel. In her confusion the girl put
her hands to her eyes to see if she
were awake or dreaming, but every
moment the vision grew more radiant.
The broad stream of light now ap-
peared a pathway along which angel
children were passing to and fro, and
they smiled on Margaret and en-
braced her and drew her tenderly with
them, saying:
Margaret, dear little sister! We
are so glad you are here! Have you
come to stay with us?" and they made
music for her delight and showed her
beauties of the garden past words ito
express, then went their way to ap-
pointed tasks.
AS Margaret walked on in the gar
den, borne about by kind of winged
ecstasy rather than by any touch of
her feet, she came upon the Gardener
taking care of His garden, and He
turned and looked at the girl.
"Sir," entreated Margaret, falling
upon her knees, may stay with you?
May help you take care of this gar
den?"
Margaret" said the Gardener, TAX
ing her by the hand-and then Mar
garet knew it had been His hand on
her hair and His voice at her side.
"You may help me, Margaret, in an
other garden. You may work for me
in the garden of human hearts and
cultivate sweet and beautiful thoughts
and make them grow"
'But am SO tired of the old life-of
the pain, the poverty, the hardship of
it ALL" and Margaret began to weep
bitterly. II cannot go back to the old
life!'
my child, 1t is new life I give unto
you"
But I must leave you!"
II shall be with you always
But we must leave this heavenly
garden!"
Margaret, my child. the garden shall,
be where we are"
It was in the old gray house at sun
rise. on Easter morning. that the
father was saying with humble graft
tude:
Thank God, our child is given back
to u.s.
"The Lord is merciful.,' sobbed the
mother. blessed be His loving Kind
ness"
So Margaret was once more given
health and strength. and as she went
about her daily tasks the radiant Wis
ion OF Easter was always present With
her and these words were always sing
Ing themselves In her heart:
