now well info Deeetnher. 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

'"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 !

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

rooiqs. Tonight, however, ..found a

she read, clutching her mother's arm,
she stammered excitedly: "Mother,
do you suppose—surely, there couldn’t
tie two Wilmer Baggetts."
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

pick out something shorter? To he

Felice waiting.
Ah’ At last, he was leaving the!

“Where have you been? We

the city and surrounding towns with
no avail. How does it happen?"
“You see I was hurt a little that

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-. ,

years before Zeelmri ih had predicted

salem was an exact .I'llltillment of this
prediction. This is highly irtstnicflve
to those who would understand the
prophecies e.^ yet unfulfilled. Sinee
the prediction of Ids first coming was
literally fulfilled, we can he assured
that the prophecy of His second com

is established beyond a doubt. The

seemed strange, and even unreason

that only which seems reasonable Is
not obedience at all. May we prove
that we are real disciples!
