the man glanced from his seat at the
organ toward the Child, and always
the look brought encouragement with
it. At last came the offertory.
Softly and low the organ gave out
the prelude. Then a voice broke on
the hush of the vast church-a childs
voice, sweet and distinct:
20 Death. where is thy sting?
Grave! where is thy victory?"
Breathlessly the congregation listen

uplifted head. deathlike paleness on
his face, while one ray of sunlight
from the high yellow window illumined
his pure brow and beautiful hair.

"A certain pathos in the childish face

irritation of a long, tedious choir prac-

there was a touch of it in his voice
as he replied:
No, no! We're rushed to death

with a new boy. Anyhow, you're too
young"
Slowly, without a word the Child
turned away from the big organ AS
he went down the long aisle the choir
master noticed tnat he was slightly
crippled. His quick ear caught the
sound of smothered sob.

The Child came back, the hot blood
