The Easter of a Century Aoo.


II is not altogether the effect OF dis

more OF the Easter spirit in the OBJ

ladies and gentlemen who attended the
service at old ST. Paul's came from
nearby homes which had their own
lawns and gardens just turning green.
Their carriages passed under trees
whose buds were swelling with the
vernal impulse. and one may fancy
that the children who tiocked through
the church doors carried in their lists
the first tulips from the gardens and
the first stray dandelions from the
wayside. The Easter season In that
overgrown village. the Gotham Of n
