the abbot to grant him admission to bring him up as lay brother. The monk complied with the request, and made every effort to teach the boy religion and instruct him in the ways of the monastery, but in vain. There were but three lines of all his lessons that were ever impressed upon his mind. When he had finished his daily tasks, he would always seek the quiet of the church, where he would remain for hours on his knees, repeating, over and over, the words: 'I believe in God, I trust in God, love God"
 One day his tasks were neglected, and the lad was missed from his routine of duty. He was not even to be found in the church with his eyes fixed on the tabernacle, as was his custom. The abbot finally sought him in his little cell. Helay dead before the crucifx, his hands olasped and an expression of inefable sweetness on his childish face. After burial the abbot caused the boys fa- vorite lines to be engraved upon the cross. No sooner was the cross erected than pure white lily was seen blooming at the side of the grave The news spread rapidly, and when the abbot heard it he returned and caused the grave to be opened, and there, to the astonishment of the monks, tn of the lily was found to be imbedded in the heart of the child

HER HISTORY.

It Wasn't Just What the Clerks Ex- pected. It was 5 o'clock, and in the big tea house the office force was very busy indeed. The typewriter clicked rapid ly, and the heavy pens scratched over the thick leaves.
 In the height of the rush a woman entered the office. She carried a fox huff, and a graceful automobile reach ed to her feet.
 "A stunner!' breathed several of the office force, and then the young man nearest left his stool and said:
 ''What can do for you, miss?"
 She seemed bit confused.
 tI have great secret" she whisper ed, but somehow every clerk heard.
 They surrounded her.
 s'Yes,'' she continued; "I am woman with history
 After this you could not have paid those clerks to return to their stools.
 '.Are you interested?' she asked.

 "And you will not discourage me?''
 NeVer! DO not fear to tell us all. Now for your history
 She drew fiat volume from the folds of her automobile.
 "Here it is; complete history of the Boer war to date; 2,oOo pages, 5o0"-
 In confusion the office force retreat ed.
 "Run, woman, run!' shouted the clerk.
 What is ?'' she gasped.

 With a long shriek she rushed down to the street.

before the dawn in the garden. And, of course, as that is the greatest event in the records; of the Bible or outside of them, 1t is in 1t that we see most clearly how true are the words of dear friend: '1Thank God, when it is so dark it can be no darker, for then the next thing must be daybreak." Three years of labor; only two women and one man at His cross Thousands fed; no one but an enemy to raise the sponge to His lips when he cried 'I thirst" Multitudes heard Him preach; even His disciples could not watch with Him one hour. One of the I2 is dead committed suicide after betray ing his best friend. Another, with an oath, declares he never knew Him. Not friend to carry His cross, not Jew, not convert, only mere camp follower, one of Gods poor, who, having long felt the weight of the burden that galled His shoulder and made Him ache, said: "This man has too much to bear"-the poor suffering with and suffering for the poor, as only the poor khow how to do. Such were the days just before the first Easter. As though even the world did not wish to see how lonely and friend less and forsaken and miserable and tor tured He was, 1t drew black veil over it's face, and the earth was dark. So the lesson comes to us to-day that we ought not to com plain if, sometime in our personal experi- ence, history repeats itself. The higher and
 
 alone perhaps, and called impracticable and visionary The more you love the truth, the more opposition you can expect from men who love darkness. Excellence, to begin with, always speaks to small audiences. Truth has for it's first disciples the despised fishermen. The splendid spires of Christen- dom are an imitation of the masts of the ships owned by Andrew and Simon Peter. These are the darkest hours again, just be- fore the Easter dawn, when we are learning that the plainest woman is sometimes the most beautiful; the steady man is the most solid; those who are frank make the best friends. Patient, plodding, self-forgetful, aivinely-loving Jesus, against the midnight blackness of the ninth hour; how much more beautiful appears the light of the first day of the week when it was said: "He is risenl"
 And so, let us all take heart this glad Easter day. It may all be, as Tennyson sings:
 SSo runs my dream, but what am IT
 An infant crying in the night,
 An infant crying for the light,
 And with no language but cry"

A GREAT PITY.
Had Cyrus Lived, He Would Have
 Been a Champion.

Been a Champion. ..Gentlemen," said the man with the speckled cigar as we got seated in the smoking compartment, "you must ex- cuse me if I do not appear hilarious today. The fact is have just heard of the death of my brother Cyrus"
 "That's bad," replied the man with the George Washington chin in a sym pathetic voice. .sVery sudden death, was it?'
 "No, sir. On the contrary, it took him year to die. He was out west last winter and got caught in a snow avalanche and was buried 20 feet deep. He lived till a month ago and then gave up his life. When his body was found, his fingers were grasping a let ter addressed to me, a letter in which he said ahe had not tasted food for PIP days"
 ''But how did he liveT'
 t'On snow, I suppose.
 stAnd how could he write sou a letter if buried under the snow?"
 "He used a quill toothpick and blood from his arm.''
 The man with the George Washing ton chin leaned back and thought it oyer for awhile and then said:
 "It is an awful pity that your brother is dead"
 '.Yes, it was a great loss to the coun- try at large"
 Because he would have made such a champion liar in few years more"
 "Whatr' exclaimed the man with the speckled cigar as he rose up. Do you think my brother prevaricated about the ayalanche?"

DAYBREAK IN THE GARDEN
 By FRED'K E. HOPKINS. D. D., Pastor Pilgrim Congregational Church, Chicago
66m WILL open the blinds" said lit tie child one morning, "so that can see to learn my lesson to-day"

tie child one morning, ESQ that l
 can see to learn my lesson to-day" and she learned it without even stopping to think where the light came from that made the words so clear. And in that same spirit let us learn lesson in the light of the Easter Sabbath. We have an o1dfashioned proverb, that it is always darkest just be- fore the dawn; and that is proverb forti- fled by collection of proofs, as old as the world, and as sacred as the Bible.
 The darkest hour that the commercial in- terests of our country ever saw was the morning when Commodore Perry, young man only 28 years of age, sailed out of Put inlay, on Lake Erie, to fight squadron of the navy of Great Britain, which, up to that time, had never known defeat.
 The great Magma Charta, that charter which first boldly declared anything like human liberty and equal political rights be- tween man and man, was never in such jeopardy as on that morning when Cromwell found his army completely surrounded shut up like hand in a glove-but he prayed; and literally the clouds overhead broke, and the sunlight glistened on the spears, and he shouted: '"The Lord of Hosts is with us." And through the ranks of the enemy he made door of opportunity which has never been shut.
 This, by some strange literary classified ton, is called "profane history" but can we net see the hand of God in all of it? And these are some of the dark hours the na- tions have passed through. And 1t is all like the Divine revelation. Noah did not get discouraged during his dark hours; not in the fftieth year that he labored all alone, or in the one hundredth year that he la bored all alone, nor in the one hundred and tenth year that he labored all alone, and in the one hundred and twentieth year, per- haps just when he was giving up, he heard the rain falling on the roof of the ark, and said: "It Is the footstep of God coming to fulfill His promise" It frightened, and he said: sThat is Gods face" It thundered, and he said: 'SThat is His voice" Dark hours-the next, from the summit of Ara rat, he saw the bow in the clouds.
 How is 1t Jacob did not see the angel un- til, in addition to all his other trials, he broke his leg?
 At supper time there is grief all over the mansion. David cannot be comforted. At breakfast he walks in, looking like one that has had the rosy dreams of child. Why was this? He had seen through his tears the child he mourned and knew that he was safe with God; and so he oomforted oth- vision and the voice of Him who spoke in say to others: "He shall not come to me, but I will come to Him.
 How Is it that Daniel sleeps tonight in the lions den, and tomorrow in the palace of the greatest empire in the world?

Easter Sunday in seville.

There is no better place to see much that is picturesque in the celebration of Easter than the city of Seville, Spain, once the capital of the Roman province of Boetia, long the chief city of the Moors and for many years the royal city of the Spaniards. It abounds in magnificent churches Its grand cathedral of Santa Maria de la Sede is the largest in the world except St. Peters at Rome. On Easter morning it's high altar is a bower of floral beauty, and prostrate before it are many devout souls, the richly attired lady of fashion and the poorly clad woman of the people kneelirg side by side and mingling their tears of joy at the feet of their risen Lord.
