THE PERPETUAL PROMISE.
All through the lib perfumed air
The bells of Easter chime
With pardon for our sin sick souls,
The seven and seventieth time.
Hasten while bells of promise peal.
While surplicerl cherubs sing,
Lay on the altars of our Lord
Contrition's offering.
The rare pale flowers of love, of faith,
O Christ, the crucified,
Will show 'twas not in vain for us
A loving Savior died.
If any earthly friend for us
In jeopardy had stood,
Ah, would we have to plead and beg
For our poor gratitude?
And must the King of Heaven sue—
Or suffered he in vain,
Upon sad Calvary's cruel cross,
With all a mortal's pain?
Oh, lay sin's heavy burden down;
He died that we might live,
He'll bear the cross and send a peace
The world can never give!

Margaret knew nothing of it'all. The

and was out in the fields delighting in
the first faint flush of dawn and the

out of doors.

OUR CHILD IS GIVEN BACK,
came to the village where the bells
were ringing with gladness-for Easter
morning, and the children were carry-
ing tlowers to church. Margaret en-
tered softly and took her old place in
the dim corner, facing the window pic-
tured with the story of Mary in the
garden. How good it seemed to be
there!
. hi altar cloth was glistening white,
the dim aisles were sweet with the
perfume of lilies that filled the chancel,
a few silent worshipers knelt at their
prayers, and Margaret bowed her own
head with thoughts ns pure and sweet
with gratitude as the breath of the
flowers.
Now as she knelt in the quiet of that
holy place, Margaret wondered to hear
with the chiming bells, soft silvery
strains of music, such as were never
heard in the little church before, and
to feel the toyqeh of a gentle hand laid
on her hafr.^ ^e .looked up to see the
beams of th#urcn!fi?T's'V^iine stream-
ing ('own uPn. her artP the stained
window palpitating withwlorious light
and cfil«r, but wonder!—as she looked
again the stained window was no long-
er there at all; instead opening be-
fore her on every side was a lovely
garden sweet with flowers.
"This is too good to be true," she
cried, rising in a kind of rapture as she
felt the soft balm of the garden air in
her face.
"Nothing is too good to be true,"
said a voice at her side, but Margaret
could not discover any one.
"May I enter this rich garden?"
Margaret asked of herself, thinking of
her poor, shabby dress, so faded and
patched, which she was always glad
to hide in the dim corner of the aisle.
But as Margaret, doubting, asked this
question, the sun shining upon her
dress, showed it to be glistening white
as the altar cloth and the lilies in the
chancel. In her confusion the girl put
her hands to her eyes to see if she
were awake or dreaming, but every
moment the vision grew more radiant.
The broad stream of light now ap-
peared a pathway along which angel
children were passing to and fro, and
they smiled on Margaret and em-
braced her and drew her tenderly with
them, saying:
"Margaret, dear little sister! We
are so glad you are here! Have you
come to stay with us?" and they made
music for her delight and showed her
beauties of the garden past words to
express, then went their way to ap-
pointed tasks.
As Margaret walked on in the gar-
den, borne about by a kind of winged
ecstasy rather than by any touch of
her feet, she came upon the Gardener
taking care of His garden, and lie
turned and looked at the girl.
• Sir," entreated Margaret, falling
upon her knees, "may I stay with you?
May I help you take care of this gar-
den?"
"Margaret," said the Gardener, tak-
ing her by the hand—and then Mar-
garet knew it had been His hand on
her hair and His voice at her side.
"You may help me, Margaret, in an-
other garden. You may work for me
in the garden of human hearts and
cultivate sweet and beautiful thoughts
and make them grow."
"But I am so tired of the old life—of
the pain, the poverty, the hardship of
It all!" and Margaret began to weep
bitterly. "I cannot go back to the old
life!"
"My child, it is a new life I give unto
you."
'But I must leave you!"
"1 shall be with you always."
we must leave this heavenly
garden!"
"Margaret, my child, the garden shall
be where we are."
It was in the old gray house at sun-
rise. on Easter morning, that the
father was saying with humble grati-
tude:
"Thank God, our child is given back
to us."
"The Lord is merciful." sobbed the
mother. "Blessed be His loving kind-
ness."
So Margaret was once more given
health and strength, and as she went
about her daily tasks the radiant vis-
ion of Easter was always present with
her and these words wt re always sing-
ing themselves in her heart:
"A new life I give unto you—I am
with you always—the garden shall b«
where we are."
EASTER DAY.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The penitential days are done,
Jehovah's joy bells ring;
And 'neath the glorious Easter sun
We hail the Lord, our King!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
On wings our spirits soar-
In earnest words, in hymnal rhyme,
In organ peal and belfry chime
We hear the story o'er!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Christ rises once again—
Perfection of creation's sum,
Grand miracle of martyrdom,
To free us from our pain!
To the Children.
On Easter morning the church doorB
are thrown wide open, and within the
air is sweet with the perfume of
thousand flowers. Violets, roses and
lilies twine about pillar and railing,
and the altar looks like a great, whit(
blossom. With what joyous tones the
organ rings out, and what a glad thril
there is in the voices that sing, "Christ
Has Risen!" Let us be very glad, too
for there Is never any happiness that
comes into our lives that is not there
because of Easter morning. Bend low
and listen intently, and you will be
sure to hear messages, in the language
of beauty and perfume, spoken by the
sweet-faced roses of love and lilies of
peace.
He Wanted to Chime In.
He sat on that Easter Sunday-
It was after prayer and praise—
And lie held up a dainty jewel
To the maiden's wondering gaze;
While he said to the blushing fair one,
While her bosom rose and fell,
"Oh, give me, 1 pray, permission
To ring an Easter belle."
