AN EASTER VISION

1t was Easter Sunday. The streets
were thronged with well-dresssed peo-
pie on their way to church. and the
spring air was full of the joyous
sound of bells.
What a hollow mockery," thought
one sad-faced woman as she stood
amid the worshipers in the crowded
transept.
The priest stretched out his hands
toward the kneeling flock and spoke
OF the butterfly and the chrysalis. the
marvel OF revivified and blossoming
earth. Yet his words were meaning
less. cold and empty in the ears of
the sad. black-robed woman who
sought in vain for consolation.
Were they indeed those mansions
OF God Of which the rector spoke?
Had these people found them? Why,
then. were they barred to her? All. in
her bitterness, she doubted II she
really cared for such joys. All she
yearned for was the one tender,
human smile which they told her was
forever banished. Her heart rose up
in spasm of rebellion. 1t could not
be true that anything SO good was
irrevocably gone.
Christ is risen-is risen from the
dead" sang the choir: but the sad
and lonely woman turned and left the
church.
That afternoon she walked along
country roads. through the delicious
doors OF the spring-filled air. As she
trod the brown meadows the sky was
aglow with the dulling gold Of the
sunshine and the wind bore to her the
scent Of fresh hyacinths.
Still she wandered on. unheeding,
absorbed in the bitterness of her own
heart, until she saw before her a
country churchyard. where a woman,
black-robed, like herself, bent sobbing
above new-made grave. Drawn by
some intangible chord of sympathy,
she walked over to where the other
hneeled at the tomb.
ut Is Easter said the second
woman, mechanically lifting her
heavy eyes, land he is dead" A
sudden comprehension came to her
glance: she reached out her hand
and touched the strangers gown.
You understand. she cried You
too
Yes. | understand" answered the
first woman, monotonously. Your
story is also mine. He is dead"
They are gone from US forever"
cried the woman at the grave. with
burst of wild weeping. "Ah. for
one sign of immorta...y. for one hope,
one dream tnat 1t is not forever-that
they but sleep to live again!"
And then for both these sorrowing
souls was wrought miracle! Life.

of death and revealed itself In its
serene majesty of reality. The sky
became more vivid and opaline; the
wind blew more freshly. bearing a
