Not that I thought of questioning Miss Moore's demand, no one ever does that; but because I naturally liked to know what my money was going to do. "We are going to start a church-garden," said she. "The trustees have given us the ground, and we want to raise about ten dollars for a beginning."
And she read from Galatians, the second chapter and twentieth verse: "'I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Our Church-Garden.
It took the last ornament from our church, which thenceforth looked desolated enough. When Maurice Mapleson came the bouquet came back. But it was made mostly of wild flowers.

At all events one Wednesday after prayer-meeting Miss Moore and Mrs. Biskit came to me.
