with Easter day? Let us
think awhile Life and death;
the battle between life and death;
life conquered by death; and
conquered again by life. Those
were the mysteries over which the
men of old time thought, often till
their hearts were sad. And because
our forefathers were sad and earn
st folk; because they lived In sad
and dreary climate, where winter was
far longer and more bitter than it is,
thank God, now; therefore all their
thoughts about winter and spring
were sad; and they grew to despair,
at last, Of life ever conquering death,
or light conquering darkness.
All living things would die. The
very gods would die, fighting to the
last against the powers of evil, till the
sun should sink forever and the world
strangely does Gods gift of hope
linger in the hearts of men-they saw
beyond all that dim dream of a
new heaven and a new earth, in which
should dwell righteousness; and Of a
new sun, more beautiful than ours i;
of woman called Life" hid safe,
while all the world around her was
destroyed, fed on the morning dew,
preserved to be the mother Of a new
and happier race of men. And so to
them, heathens as they were, God
whispered that Christ should some
day bring life and immortality to
light.
$50 it pleased the Father" says St.
Paul, "to gather together u Christ
all things, whether in heaven or in
earth"
In him were fulfilled, and more
than fulfilled, the dim longings, the
! childlike dreams, of heather poets
and sages, and of our own ancestors
from whom we spring. He is the de.
sire Of all nations, for whom all were
longing, though they knew it not And
now we may see, it seems to me, what
the text has to do with Easter day
Be not anxious, says our Lord, fol
your life. Is not the life more than
meat? There is an eternal life which
depends not on earthly food, but on
the will and word of God your Father;
and that life in you will conquer
death. Consider the lilies in the field
All the winter they are dead, insight
ly roots, hidden in the earth. What
can come of them? But no sooner
does the sun Of spring shine on their
graves than they rise into sudden life
and beauty as it pleases God, and
every seed takes it's own peculiar
body. Even so is the resurrection oi
the dead-Charles Kingsley.

Thomas Grimshaw seemed to be
strangely affected. He got his hand
kerchief out of his pocket and blew
his nose very vigorously.
They talked about Easter and about
lilies and about little girls and little
boys. At last Mr.. Grimshaw asked:
What do you want me to do?"

After Thomas Grimshaw had in
formed Henry Colthorpe that he would
be paid for the time he had been ill
and that as soon as he was we'll
enough to work again he could have
his old place at an increased salary he
started away.
The Easter Lily went out into the
dark, narrow hall with him to show
him the way down stairs. When he
had reached the first landing he
turned and looked up and held out his
arms toward her. She ran down and
kissed him good-by.
Out in the street he stopped for a
moment and looked up at the little
fiat. He held his lily in his hand, and
when Lillian appeared at one of the
dimly-lighted windows, he waved it at
her.
Then he started on again, mutter-
ing;
God bless mel What fine evening
it is."

Idea that the universe was built

such CHASTITY mockery is unthinkable
in a world Of order and Of love.
That there is a subtle influence of
some sort pervading the earth and

hypothesis which is rather confirmed
than discredited by such wonders as
wireless telegraphy, the energy of
radium and the multitude of psychic
phenomena which coincidence seems
inadequate to explain. Out of the vast

The Great Beyond.

The return of Easter is one of our
Lords ways of letting down a ladder
to us that we may climb to the stars
and see little Of the great beyond.
Toilers Of the plains below, we often
miss the flashing lights thrown across
the battlements for our relief. En-
riched in soul we shall descend to-

path of duty. But there will be a

heart, for We have dwelt a little in the

any credit for the success of his busi-
ness he would have regarded the
statement as preposterous. His idea
was that his obligations to his en-,
ployes ceased when he paid them
their wages, which were always as
small as he could make them without
bringing on trouble.
Mr.. Grimshaw noticed that Henry
Colthorpe Jagged at his work. Henry
COlthorpe had for years been faith
full and useful employe, but that did
not give him an excuse for being slow
or for making mistakes now.
The Easter Lily had begun to recov-
er and Mary Colthorpe was regaining
her spirits ard her strength when
Christmas came. On st. Valentines
day Henry Colthorpe carried two pret-
ty cards to his wife and daughter He
had gone without his lunch that day,
so that he could afford to buy the
cards, but neither Mary nor the Easter
Lily knew that.
In the evening, when the Easter Lily
had said her prayers and kissed her
mother good night, she called her ia
ther to her bedside. She put her arms
around his neck and drew his face
down beside her own upon the pillow.
"Dear, good papa" she said. Are
you glad that got well?"
"Of course / am, darling"

For year things had been
steadily going against Colthorpe. In
May his wife had suffered a nervous
breakdown. The doctors said at first
that complete rest of a month or two

her to health and strength. So she

In the little fiat with the Easter Lily.
They called her the Easter Lily be-
pause she had been born on Easter
day and because her real name was
Lillian. The Easter Lily was nine
years old.
But the doctors were mistaken, as
doctors often are. 1t was November
before Mrs. Colthorpe was we'll
enough to return home. Even then she
was pale, thin and SO weak that the
work in the little fiat would have been
too much for her if the Easter Lily
had not been there to help. All that
they had been able to save was gone.
The doctors bills and the charges at
the institution had been heavy. Henry
Colthorpe was in debt for the first
time in his life, but he remained
hopeful.
Never mind. Well soon be on our
feet again. Everything will turn out
all right If you'll just keep from wor-
rying and get we'll as fast as you can"
Mary Colthorpe smiled YEARLY, but
hopefully, and promised to do her
best.
The Easter Lily, who had been wait

rushed down the stairs to meet them.

"Oh, mother, I'm so glad. Now ii

A week after Mary's return the Eas,

Henry Colthorpe began sometimes
while she was lowering between life
and death, to wonder whether there
was really an All-Wise Father who
watched over people. He tried to dc
his work faithfully, but his heart was
full of trouble and his mind was Otter
clouded. He made mistakes that exas
perated his employer. His face be

marvellous that he had been able to
keep up as he did.
One day when he was able to sit up
in bed again the doctor said:
well sirl Well soon have you
well again. You notice 'we.' Your
wife deserves more credit than I do
for pulling you through. It was her
nursing, more than my medicine, that
did it,"
Sometimes during the days of his
convalescence Henry Colthorpe was
inclined to be sorry they had not let
him die. If 1t had not been for the
Easter Lilly he would have had no
wish to live.
One day she overheard her mother
and father talking about their mis-
fortunes 1t was the day before East
er. She listened while Henry explain
ed how he had been discharged by
Grimshaw and for the first time she
was able to understand the serious
ness Of their situation.
She put on the best things she had
and went out.
Around the corner there was a
florists shop. The window was full Of
Easter lilies. She stopped to look at
them and while she was looking and
wishing that some of them could be
hers young man came out. He no.
ticed her pitiful look.
Fortunately the young man was in
love. When young man is in love
he is generous and likely to be actu-
ated by kindly impulses.
The young man turned back into the
shop and moment later he came out
again, with an Easter lily in his hand.

to Lillian. Tomorrow is Easter. l
hope you will be happy"
She took the flower and turned
away. When she reached Thomas
Grimshaw's Office he was seated alone
at his desk.

Lillian. "Who let you in here?"

Religion No Longer Terrible.

1t is glorious thing to remember
that men are turning more and more
to god and to religion because a more
humane theology has stripped both
God and religion of their former ter
rors. From a myriad of Christian pull
pits the nobler message will go forth
that Jesus died and rose again, not to
reconcile an angry God to his wander
ing children, but to reconcile and draw
those wayward ones to the Fathers
love and care. From the thunders of
Sinai and the avenging wrath the the
ology of today is turning to the gospel
of the prodigal son, the woman taken
in adultery, the lost sheep, the Sermon
on the Mount. How passing strange
that the Redeemer who was all gentle.
ness and forgiveness should have been
made into a monster of tyrannous
bigotry from which men and women
and children have shrunk in terror for
1000 years!
