Before this holy symbol Helen stood in earnest reverence. The soul knelt to the idea, if the knee bowed not to the image, embracing the tender grandeur of the sacrifice and the vast inheritance opened to faith in the redemption.

"We missed you at the archery meeting ha! ha! ha!" Mrs. Willis. "Mr. Willis would not let me go he! he! he!" Mrs. James. "Well, at all events he! he! you will come to the flower show." Mrs. Willis. "Oh yes! he! he! I am so fond of flowers ha! ha!" Mrs. Luttrell. "So am I. I adore them he! he!" Mrs. Willis. "How sweetly Miss Malcolm sings he! he!" Mrs. Luttrell.
The young lady teachers "showed off" bending sweetly over pupils that were lately being boxed, lifting pretty warning fingers at bad little boys and patting good ones lovingly.

Once upon a time there was a young man named Baijal and he was very skilful at playing on the bamboo flute.
