It presents a phase of hnman thought

upon the whole subject of evil and

ALL SPEAK OF RESURRECTION
Awakening of Buds and Meeeoma to
New Life Confirms Mankind's
Belief In Immortality.
Poets and philosophers had mounted
pathetically over the inequality of na-
ture In this, that while other things
had another Ufe la store, y« man, who
appeared like the lerd of creation him-
self, seemed to have no resurrection.
But now. aft® Christ bad been Indeed
Beautiful Legend Concerning the
Peculiar Hoe of the
T*erU*
AMONG the Christian legends of
tbe lily we find tbe origin of tbe
tiger or tomea* My. All lilie*
were in the beginning white and all
held their fair beads proudly erect, but
on tbe night in. which Christ suffered
in tbe garden of Gethsemane some fell
from grace. Whew the other flowers
became aware of bis agony, they with-
ers! away with sorrow and pity. Only
one lily was indifferent, and when
tbo*e three bitter hours bad passed,
still flaunted her spetiess beauty in tbe
light of the moon. The soldiers came
and as Jesus-waa led ent from the gar-
den of Olives he paused for a moment
beside tbe tall stem coeered with tbe
white flowers; tor a aaement be
gazed on them in pitying reproach for
their blindness aad tbeir hardness of
heart, and touched by the love and
mercy In his eyes they tang their
beads and blushed ; so, to this how. tbe
descendants of this prood plant look
down, and shame dyes their petals.
Prom tbe middle ages comes another
religious legend of the Bly. There
was once, we read, a great monastery
in the northerm Pyrenees where the
monks devoted their ttres to study and
to charity. And it came to paaa that
one day they found a woman dead on
the dope of tbe hill*, with a little baby
boy clasped, still sleeping, in her arms.
Pilled with pity, they took tbe child
home to the. abbey and gnve him the
tenderest care. Years we«t by and the
baby grew to be a big. strong boy, fair
of face aad form, childlike. Innocent
