head a little shake to send the tears
flying.
Its $3.50 NICE" she answered,
reyerently. aren't you glad the lilies
tell about Jesus?"
The lady did not answer her in
words, and as she stopped nearer the
child, lifting the dimpled chin in her
palm, she said with passionate ten
derness: sPoor little girl! You are
cripple like my little boy; I am so
sorry for YOU"
"Oh, is he lame, and will he be here
to-day? He won't mind his lameness
when he sees the lilies.'
"He is not here; he is risen; and
am alone" answered the lady, her
voice sharp with pain.
do you mean that he has gone to
Jesus?" asked Blossom.
There was only an affirmative nod
for answer, and Blossom, whose child
ish idea of ministry meant loving,
put up her hand and stroked the face
of the stricken woman beside her, as
she did the tired mothers when the
hard days work was ended. ''Poor
lady," she said, softly, 81 expect God

Him to-day. Mamma thinks God has

be nice when we all go to Jesus for me
to tell your little boy that we talked
about him to-day down here?"
Mrs. Raymond was crying crying
as she could not cry when they carried
Donald's casket from the house; cry
ing as any oppressed heart will cry
when relief comes, and still Blossoms
voice went steadily and sweetly on:
Il guess you are lonesome without
your little boy and that makes you
cry, but some day when you go to see
God, your little boy will already be
there, and he'll run right up to you
without his crutches. Mamma says

morning.

then, dear, before the people go to
church, and you shall see the lilies
and then we will come home and
have a happy Easter by ourselves"
said her mother.
Blossom did not speak again to her
mother She felt as if she must have
died and gone to Heaven, for never in
her happiest flights of imagination
had she dreamed of anything SO beau
,tiful as that which she saw on enter
ing the church. They sat down under
the gallery and Blossoms mother,
white-faced and weary, leaned her
head against pillar and closed her
eyes. There was lump in the child's
throat; her pleasure gave her such
keen pain. The organist was playing
slow, sweet melody that throbbed
through the church like psalm of
rest, and Blossom, unable to control
her tears, stood up leaning heavily on
her crutch and wiping her eyes with
her little coarse handkerchief.
An early worshiper, lady whose
Grape draperies foated about her like
a sable cloud, moved down the aisle.
She caught sight of Blossom sobbing
among the shadows and went over to
her, laying one caressing hand on the
top of the crutch and the other on
Blossoms shining head. Blossom did
not start, for she had reached the
stage when nothing could surprise
her, but she looked up into the fair,
naughty face and smiled through her
tears.
''What is the matter, little grip" the
lady asked, in voice SO musical that
