54 Judith looked down at the note with puzzled eyes. When she had read the address she was more puzzled than ever. It was addressed to "Miss Busy Bee, care of Messrs, Harford & Harâ€" ford, Third Window, Fourth Floor, Facing West Central Hospital," It was a joint invitation from some of the boys in the men‘s ward, asking her to tea the following Saturday. There was to be a concert, and if she could join in, so much the better, They had watched her so often, and she had smiled at them so often, that they all felt they knew her. She looked so happy that they wantec to know her better, Judy, surprised and touched, decided messenger, They were all pleased to see her except the serious young man. He stared and frowned, almost as i was not pleased with what he â€" Thus it was that on this bright m ing Judy also frowned over her ; writer, She was still frowning when a was bruught to her by one of her firm‘s messengers, "A young man left it for yor the hall, miss," said the denar He seemed very remote and ab>â€" stracted in his work across the way. The boys in t‘;> men‘s ward smiled at her, and wers y too happy if she smiled back. L e boys in the men‘s ward waved to her, and were delightâ€" ed if she waved back. The old men sat by their windows in the sun and‘ nodded to her. "The building opposite," said Judy terseiy. But that, thouch indirectly true, was not so entirely. Judith would hardly admit it to herself, but it was the man opposite who had upset her. He stared so often ard so hard that she had been bound to notice him, but she was often forced to wonder wheâ€" ther he had really noticed ber. And because she was no. sure she was angry with herself for being so interested in him, angry with herselt for liking his Tair, thoughtful young face, his serious, frowning brows, but she was angrier still with him because he never smiled. "HM:avens, wha;';"go you down this morning*" demanded Miss Macintyre in alarm. "And now*" venture tyre, timidly. "It‘s a penance," said ly, "and that‘s final," posite has blighted my life," Miss Macintyre was borrified. "Oh, you shouldn‘t say that, Don‘t forget it‘s a hospitai. Don‘t forget the good work they do." â€""Yes, I always do try to remember that, but I can‘t help regretting the pleasant green squares we used to look upon. You weren‘t here, so you don‘t remember what this place was like a year or two ago. It was a pleasure to work here then." "You should feel flattered, dear," said Miss Macinty e, Judy shook her head. "His eyes are too critical; besides, the wretched creature always managos to look across when I am powdering my nose. Â¥You know, that building op~‘ posite has blighted my life."

Her heart sank again. "It‘s going to be just an impromptu affair on the firstâ€"floor roof garden. I suggested that it was no use having a modern building if we didn‘t make the most of it, so we are going to have a short concert thero at lunchâ€"time, when everyone will be out and about. They‘ll get an awfully good view from the street, and we‘ll have people down in the streets collecting, Don‘t you think it‘s a good idea?" "I came across more to see you than to collect," he was saying. Her heart leapt, and she raised starry eyes to him, He smiled. Standing before her, shaking his collectingâ€"box, he seemed younger and gayer than she had ever seen him. "You‘re not supposed to do this sort of thing, surely," she said, when she had recovered from her surprise, she fumbled in her bag for halfâ€"aâ€"crown, which really was the most she could afford, and as she fumbled sho read the legend: "Peter Maddox, Housel Surgeon‘s Collecting Box." I ’ Judith watched eageriy from 4 r window, trying to recognizs soms> ol the fantastically dressed figures. After long minutes she began to think that her own room on the fourth flsor had been forgotten; then the Jdoor opened and someone came in. He came straight across to her seat by the winâ€" dow as if she were the only person: he wished to see. ‘ _ The next week was Hospital Week for the West Central Hospital, and excitement ran high. Students paradâ€" ed the streets in white coats or fancy dress; smiling nurses collected at corâ€" ners. On the Tuesday thore was a door to door collection, and the stuâ€" dents raided the offices of Messr3. Harford & Harford. "Oh, he approves of you all right. He wouldn‘t come round at all while you‘re here if he didn‘t. He‘s always very busy. But then he takes his job very seriously, you know. He‘s very young to be houseâ€"surgeon.

"And now I‘ve come across to you," she said, "and you‘ll have to smile at me because I‘m a patient." "Why, I loved to see you powder your little nose! You all seemed so carefree over there.

Perhaps it was a sudden feeling of hopelessness and helplessness which overcame Judy, or perhaps it was the sickening reek of ether which clung stickily about the air. Her grip on the ledge slackened. She felt faint. She‘ fell. ‘ E "Oh," said the young man, "it‘s much more exciting out of visiting hours.

The matter of consequence is that the| Christian gospel demonstrated itself|F as a universal gospel rather than for a merely Jewish sect. For six months we kave been followâ€" ing the studies of the spread of Chrisâ€" tianity after the departure of Jesus. In the resurrection the little band of followers became aware of the living and eternal Christ and they went everywhere spreading the message and the power of his gospel. As we have looked again upon the faith and the couâ€"age of these early followers of Christ, and realize something of the price they paid in new outlooks and heroic endeavors, risking and sacrificâ€" ing all that they had, we feel that we have entered into a rich heritage inâ€" deed.
