The Allisons, American passeimers on their way home to the I nited States, were on the French liner at the time of the sinking of the vessel. When hut two days away from the French port a lire broke out In the hold, which proved fatal to the ship. Now the Allisons were tvi route to Kngjnnd. This time, they were to sail on a Brit ish liner from London. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Allison were passing the time, which hunt; heavily on their hands during their Journey to London, discussing previous events with their daughter, Felice. She, young, perhaps in her twenties, pre senting quite a striking spectacle with her black curly hair, and her brown eyes, was saying: “It seems to me if Wilmer saved, he has surely had amplt to notify us." “Hid you call at the American Ex press oflce in Paris before we left?" Inquired Mrs. Allison. "Yes, and the clerk informed me Wilmer Baggett's mail had not been called for in the last month. I have dark were. time Fire Broke Out Which Proved Fatal to the Shfp. tried in every way to locate him in : Paris, hospitals and the like included j I give up 'Tin- fact that his mail is j not called for ought to he sure enough j proof he is not in Paris.” '"I will never forgot," she began, pondering over previous happenings, j “Wilmer, as I last saw him standing | on the. deck, bis huge frame, calm and I serene, silhouetted against the chaos ; round about him in the huge, brilliant j mass of tin* burning liner, as he j helped crazed and fainting women and j children into the lifeboats, speeding ! them to safety I couldn't bear to look any longer. When l did glance I buck again the nose of the naming ship was buried far into the ocean. It is queer he should have come into my life so abruptly, and then, only to vanish equally suddenly. It is miraculous the way we were all spared,"-and her voice trailed off into silence. One more day and the British liner would land in the New York harbor. The voyage had been a very rough one. and the Allisons had hud whijt little food they ate served in their rooiqs. Tonight, however, ..found a calm iifter the storm. cThe Allisons made a heroic effort which resulted In the three being present at dinner In the dining room. c t It being New Year's eve, some of ^the passengers had planned a little ■entertainment for those on hoard. ‘When Ihe programs were given out Jthat evening, Felice’s cheeks flrsrt (©, 1924.

Then started a frantic search of the crowd which refused to disclose the face ofMrer Wilmer. In vain did her gaze pierce every nook and cor ner of the salon during the perform ance. She wished she could have had something to say about the printing of the programs. She would certainly have arranged it differently, so she would not have had to wait so long for this one most important of all the selections. Every one seemed to be dragging out ids part terribly. What would lids Wilmer Baggett look like? She could not locate tlo* face of the one she sought any place. Finally, a French door over at one Side of the room opened to admit Wil mer Baggett, as his selection was an nounced from the platform. There he stood, the same old Wilmer Bag- gejt. Felice was so happy slo* couldn’t tell which one was singing the louder, she or Wilmer. In fact, she conclud ed. it was a well-balanced duet. The program hadn't stated It. hut that Is what it -turned <mt to he. It had evidently been it huge suc cess with the audience, for they in sisted nn an encore. Felloe never realized what a. wonderful voice she had been endowed with until now. What torture! She hud not tlgured on all these encores. Why did he not pick out something shorter? To he sure, he didn't know he was keeping Felice waiting. Ah’ At last, he was leaving the! platform. Hardly knowing what she] did. she tlew into his arms. The con- : eert held no further attraction for ( Felice ami Wilmer. As soon as they ( wore away from the crowd, and WT1L mer bad recovered from tlu* shock of the surprise. Felice commenced her siege of questions. “Where have you been? We thought you had gone down with the boat. We could get no trace of you in Baris. .lust fhtnk; we searched the city and surrounding towns with no avail. How does it happen?" “You see I was hurt a little that niglit of the disaster," r Wilmer ex plained; "an English freighter came An intermission of several ^minutes followed. ' The next afternoon, New Year’s day, found Felice and Wilmer on the deck watching for the New York liar bor. As darkness began to close in on them they could discern a few lights in the distance. Then tlo* lights out lined shapes and before long, New York with its many skyscrapers and multi tude of people, loomed mu far before them. They watched The wonderful skyline as it grew plainer arid more' complicated each minute. As they came closer, ihat most magnificent of all magnificent sights, presented itself, silhouetted against ,the darkness and lesser lights of the buildings. “In her cloak of ermine, a recent gift from the clouds for the Christ mas festivities, with all the dignity, majesty and grandeur a woman can possess, stands this huge figure of Liberty, a symbol to all those who They Watched the Wonderful Skyline as It Grew Plainer. may eotye into our country, of the standards which our fellow country men liTTtold.

The title given this lesson is some what misleading. Strictly speaking; this was far from a triumphal entry. It was rather the ollieial presentation of the King of the Jewish nation. Back of the cry, “hosanna," Ihe awful word, “enmify” was uttered by the same persons who cried "hosanna.” Though they were utterly blind to the fact, <;,id was about to carry out His plan of hosanna, which means "save now," through tiie "crucifixion of the Son of Hod-. , I.
