ALL SPEAK OF RESURRECTION
Awakening Of Buds and Blossoms 4
New Life Confirms Mankind's
Belief In Immortality.

Poets and philosophers had mourned
pathetically over the inequality of na'
ture in this. that while other things
had another life in store. yet man, who
appeared like the lord Of creation him.
self, seemed to have no resurrection.
But now, after Christ had been indeed
found to have risen from the grave, to
them who obtained for the first time
any glimpse Of the truth. 1t must in
deed have been like new creation, "
"Old things passed away, and all
things become new" e..
It is the spring of the year.
"Rise up. and come away. For, 10
the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; the flowers appear on the earth
the time of singing is come" And
what is spring after winter but nature
speaking of the resurrection of her
Lord? It is the season when day Is
lengthening and mastering the night ;
light is overcoming darkness, and life
springing out of apparent death; as
In the returning presence of him who
Is very life and very light. and maketh
all things new. And all this is as the
earnest of that great morning where
in it is said. I'VE shall be like him"

tered 1t, the leaves we're brushed every
day with q very soft feather duster,
and each new leaf watched with the
greatest interest.
In the early days Of March she grew
little anxious; the stalk seemed swol-
len. She called her mothers atten-
ton to it.
1--WE can only watch it and see what
comes Of it," said her mother, knowing
well what 1t was.
Anna did watch it every half hour
In the day. Finally, one morning about
the middle of March, she found a point
ed bud beginning to peep out. When
her mother told her what it was, she
fairly danced for Joy. Day by day the
bud unrolled and whitened and grew
waxlike. At last it's golden heart be-
gan to show. Its beauty grew more
and more, and her mother told her she
could send it to the church on Easter
Sunday to stand right by the side of
the pulpit; the ladies were always glad
to have lilies to decorate with at
Easter.
Anna thought how proud she should
be to have her lily so honored.
Friday before Easter came, and the
tadies were busy putting up evergreens
in the church and arranging designs
for flowers, and the singers practicing
their anthems, and Anna, living just

In the beautiful preparations as they.
But Aunt Anna, whose linguistic taste
was always In demand. had brought
Lille to stay with her, and that was
better still.
"Oh, mamma she said, when they
were called in to tea, II was most
tempted to give her my lily. She put
up her hands and said, so cunning:

Easter"
"she would spoil It dear. But here's
her mother coming for her. Bring
her things"
She was wrapped up and taken
home, but the treacherous April air
was too much for her. BY bedtime
Group had set in, and at midnight her
throat was closed. In little while
she was dead.
Anna thought no more of the church
and Easter till someone spoke of send

"No, mamma" she said. "1t's for
Lille. 1t was the last thing she asked
me for, and now she won't be here
after Easter. want to put it in her
little hand to take with her."
When they told Aunt Anna, she said:
"Yes, just that, and nothing else. The
other flowers the dear friends sent
can be laid over her at the cemetery"
And so it was. She was dressed in
the little hemstitched dress as white
and as soft as summer cloud. and

resurrection day returns year by year,
you will also think of this lovely flow-
er given back, and growing fur more
beautiful in the garden Of God. And
it will be yours to keep forever"
Anna treasured these precious
thoughts, and when she went to kiss
her mother good night, with her cheek
laid gently against hers, she said, soft
ly: always when see the Easter
lilies I shall think of our Lille so
beautiful in the garden Of God. And
