Editor of the Congregationalist
Our lesson deals with one of the
most important ritual observances in
the history of mankind. One need
only think of the part that the
Jewish people have played in his
tory, and of the central place in
the life Of that people Of the Feast
of the Passover. to realize that this
is true.
The establishment of the passover
and the deep place that it came to
have in the life Of the people would
seem to be the strongest evidence
of the historic backgrounds of our
lesson. There had been in the life
of the Jewish people a great tragedy
and a great deliverance.
Tradition and Fact
All except those who take an en-
tirely credulous and uncritical atti-
tude toward Ill things historical and
religious will realize that in the
records of the early life and history
of every people there is a place
where tradition blends with fact
It is so in the life of every people
and nation today, not excepting our
own country, the newest and largest
OF modern developments. American
historians today are constantly pro-
ducing evidence of the extent to
which in our own national life ira
dition blends with fact.
There is no reason why we should
assume that any ancient people was

an exception in this regard. The
records of Israel's national life that
have come down to us were appar
emily written. in many instances,
long after the events recorded.
So emphasize this fact of the blend
ing of tradition and fact in the early
records of a people because it seems
to me important in it's suggestion
that the interest and the great spir.
ituaI teachings of Scripture depend
not upon a multiplicity of detail but
upon the essence Of the narrative
the great important facts concern
ing spiritual life and development.
Those of us especially who have
not been brought up under Jewish
teaching and tradition will find it
difficult to appreciate the teachings
to be derived from the story of the
passover if we approach it in any
other way.
Very; Necessary
1t is especially necessary that we
should interpret the inner meaning
oKsthe passover in the light of Chris
tian ideas. We need only read the
records concerning the passover in
the New Testament, and especially
the story Of the closing events in the
life of our Lord. to realize the deep
significance of the passover in rela.
ton to Christianity.
What was this significance? It
was the effort to express in form and
ceremony the worshir-ef the people
that related to the sense Of Gods
care and Providence. Al such there

CHAPTER Xiv
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Mary Rose threw an old cashmere
shawl of her mothers around her
shoulders and went out on to the
front porch.
The night was cold and there was
a high wind blowing-a wind that
sent the clouds scuttling across the
white moon and tossed the dead
leaves in the cutters Of New York
St.
The girl shivered as she thought of
Flossie out on a night like this
dressed in a wisp of chiffon and an
unlined satin Cape.
Inside the house, the clock struck
two slowly and solemnly. AS the
sound of 1t died away, an automobile
turned the corner Of the street and
came toward the Middleton's little
house.
IT suppose that's Sam coming
back" thought Mary Rose, leaning
over the porch railing.
But she was wrong.
The car stopped few yards from
the house, and in the light from
lamp post. she could make out the
familiar lines of Hilary Dexter's big
special Eight.
How long she stood there, with
anxious eyes fastened on 1t, she
didn't know. but she was stiff and
cold by the time she saw Flossie's
slim little figure emerge from it
and run toward the house.
She came slowly, her feet dragging
as she came. The Tilt that made
F'lossie always seem to dance when
she walked was gone.
And as she came up the steps and
into the glare from the light in the
vestibule Mary Rose could see that
she had been crying. Her eyes were
wet and, red -rimmed. Mascara from
her lashes streaked her soft cheeks
with black. The hat she wore was
tipped rakishly over one ear. And
in her hand she carried her gold
slippers
"Flossie, where under the sun have
you been?" Mary Rose asked in a
frightened whisper.
Under the moon, you mean, don't
your" Flossie asked; glancing up at
1t tearfully. She shifted and wiped
her eyes with a small damp ball of
handkerchief. Then suddenly she
kissed Mary Rose unhappily on the
cheek.
AS they opened the door to go in,
the great Dexter Eight began to
move slowly and majestically down
the street, it's polished sides gleam-
ing in the moonlight.
Flossie looked after it, with fury
blazing in her eyes.
you hot sketch, you" she sobbed
after the, unseen person who was
driving away in it. There was a
world of hatred in her little voice.
She went straight upstairs in her
stocking feet. and Mary Rose fol-
lowed as soon as she had put out
the light and locked the front door.
She found the little sister, sitting
on the edge of her bed, her face sunk
in her grimy hands, sobbing loudly
like child that had been punished.
She sank down on her knees beside
her, and put both arms around her
quivering little figure.
Don't cry. Floss. Don't cry like
thisr' she pleaded, and there were
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-07-24

Flossie repeated. ''Why, I did. of
course! 1 tweaked his nose good for
him when he got acting smart with
Pmev'
She went on more calmly in a
minute. I'D like to see any man in
the world kiss me. when I don't
want him to-" she said pridefully.
And I'd like to see one stop himself
when l do want him tor
She gave herself a last look of adj
fniration in the glass and turned out
the light.
Mary Rose had almost dropped off
to sleep when she was drawn back
to wakefulness by the sound of
smothered sobbing.
She leaned across the space be-
tween the two small white beds and
patted her sisters heaving shout
ders. Don't cry, Floss" she whis.
pered. after all, you never really
liked Dexter. And there's plenty of
good jobs besides the one you had
at his place"
I'm not crying about him, or his
darned old job, either" Flossie
sobbed. "I'm-I'm crying because
Sam wouldn't say good night to mei'

a drastic step, but read tOmorrow's
