istered to him at the darker moment
of Calvary. Then it was that the
voice of the plying turtle dove grew
so plaintive that never has it re-
gained its lost happy notes. Not only
did the swallow perch on the cross and
twitter tender words of consolation,
but also in its small, sweet way al
leviated the sufferers pain by pulling
out a spine from the crown of thorns.
And the stork flying o"er the cross
loitered on the wing to call down:
''Stryk!" "Stryk!" Strengthen!

In certain old English gardens, there
is little spotted-leafed plant with
deep blue flowers and red buds, called
Mary's Tears" for in the beginning
this grew on Calvary-its flower the
blue of the Mother Mary's eyes, the
buds red as her eyelids swollen from
weeping, and the leaves tear-stained

And in the old English garden, too,
is found the rosemary that puts forNi

Wonderful Passion Flower.
In the passion flower the reverent
imagination has discovered not a
cross alone, but also the pillar of
scourging. the nails, tn, crown of
thorns. and even spots to mark the
five wounds of the crucified body.
The Spaniard will tell you that the
aspen trembles because that was the
wood of the cross. However this may
be, there Is a delightful old legend
concerning the tree out of which the
cross was made.
Aged Adam, weary of toll and sin
and eager for death, sent to the angel
guarding the Tree of Life TO beg
boon. The messenger brought back
the welcome promise that Adam should
die in three days, and the added gift
of three small seeds which were mys

mans tongue before burial.

According to this legend, it was three

opened her grave and found it filled
with fragrant, spotless lilies. Since

Wood Of the Cross.
AS some claim the aspen was the
wood of the cross, others select the
weeping willow for the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is an old legend as sinister
as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that
claims that before the birth of Judas
his mother dreamed that her child
would murder his father and betray
his God for money. To prevent this
tragedy, the babe was put in a chest
and cast upon the sea, but was rescued
and adopted by king.
