Once within st. Peters, however,
conflicting memories fall away, lost,
as is all sense of minor faults in the
building itself, in the impression of
vastness, of an all-enfolding and all
reconciling hospitality. That hospital
ity is taxed by the crowds which
gather for the services Of Holy Week.
Palm Sunday initiates the series of
elaborate ceremonies with it's beauti.
full rite of blessing the palms. A mot
ley throng it is which streams up the
wide steps and gathers about the altar
above which glows in golden halo
the holy dove. There are the foreign
sight-seers, of course, made evident
by their camp-stools and red guide
books but there are also soldiers in
picturesque variety of uniform, priests
wearing their black draperies in the
classic folds which recall the toga,
shepherds from the Campagna, beard
ed and wild-eyed in their sheepskins;
pilgrims from far countries with the
fixed visionary gaze of those who look
on their sacred places after long de.
sire.
Sacred indeed is the spot to those
who hold the faith of Rome. In front
of the high altar with it's baldacchino
the twisted bronze columns tower
ing up superbly, yet dwarfed by the
armament Of the dome above-burn
the golden, never-dying lamps which
mark the resting place, so tradition
says, of the apostle.
But on Palm Sunday the attention
is fixed on the altar in the Cappella
Giulia, and the pressure Of the eager
people increases cruelty as the bas-
kets of palms are set down by the

altar. stairs and the canons SLOWLY
move to their places. The priests art
in violet, the Lenten color. The deel
hue frightened by wonderful inter
weaving of gold and silver, and the
crucifx on the altar is also violet
yelled. There is no organ music, and
the deep notes of the chanting swell
with strange solemnity through the
echoing vaults
At last the solemn final word and
gesture of blessing have been given,
and one by one the priests lift and
bear away the palm branches. Then
the olive, which is given in their
stead to the people, is brought for
ward in great sheaves, and a priest In
gold-embroidered violet robe holds out
the silvery branches to the hands
all the nearest of the throng have re-
ceived their portion and pass on twigs
to those behind. Peace and blessing
is that olive to bring to those who
reverenly receive the cleaning leaves.
The distribution completed, the cardi.
nal and canons with their attendant
train move in stately procession down
the church. out into the portico, and
so back to the altar. They bear aloft,
with the tall tapers and the shrouded
crucifix, the golden palm branches;
not simple boughs such as were cast
before Christ by the people Of Jerusa-
lem. These are Enthusiastically dipped
and twisted till they look more liks

in that church which is SO ready to
turn the martyr symbol into the con.

uIled her heart. Lacking
them, 1t was empty, and 1t ached with
strange perplexed grief, a confused
question as to the purpose of her life,
which now seemed to her a shrunk
and withered thing.
She went to church on Easter morn
Ing because her beautiful house was
fntolerable to her, rather than because
she expected to find comfort. The
masses of white flowers, with the sug-
gestiveness of their heavy fragrance,
carried her back to the funerals of the
last year. The familiar words of the
service sounded like mockery to her.
Let us keep the FEAST" Even so
in Christ shall all be made alive;;"
Set your affection on things above, not
on things on earth" )One by one she
caught at the phrases, only to find
each was powerless to help her.
The hymn was no better:
The strife is DER, the battle done:
The victory of life is won!
For her strife was just beginning,
and defeat instead of victory seemed
her fate. She could not lift herself
out of her personal woe far enough
to apply the words to anything but
herself.
She left the church, avoiding speech
with any one, and, with her heart like
ice in her bosom, she took an electric
car toward her desolate home.
A half block before her house was
reached the car stopped with a sud-
denness which startled the passengers.
Mrs. Farnham got off, thinking that
she would walk the few remaining
sfsPsi but she saw the motorman with
white face raising small boy in
his arms from under the fender of the
car The little fellow was unconscious,
and there was an ugly bruise on his
temple and deep cut on his neck. Be-
fore Mrs. Farnham realized what she
was doing the child was carried into
her house, and she was enlisted with
the doctors in a fight for his life.
For a week the issue was doubtful.
Consciousness fickered and wavered,
Mrs. Farnham had learned that the
boy was nobody's child. He had sold
papers since he was hardly more than
baby. He had lived wherever he
could find shelter and had eaten
whatever he could get. The fact of
home was something he had never ex-
perienced. The grieving woman for
got her grief in her devotion to the
waif who had been cast at her door
by the strange decree of what we call
accident.
The day came when the boys heavy
eyelids lifted and his childish curiosity
at his surroundings unloosed his
tongue. To open to him the doors Of
new life was the most wonderful of
joys for his foster-mother. After his
long silence it was as If he had come
back from the dead That he could
talk and laugh and eat and love
seemed like a proof of the power of
life over death. Somehow Mrs Farm
ham came to believe that it was such
proof, and that it was sent to her
in her desolation.
Out of the boys almost fatal acct
dent there was wrought for him the
miracle of home and love, and the op-
portunity for an educated and useful
manhood, and for the grieving woman
the springtime brought new hope as
the lonely winter passed. By Gods
way, which is not our way, Easter
spoke it's old message of new life
