Jin Episode CUE wurshippers crowded tlie chapel, In reverence bowed every head, The Ughts burned brightly above them , A quiet about all was spread. With steps slow, dignified, stately. With gowns sombre, sober and grave. While the audience rose to do honor. Tlie choir marched up throtigh the nave. The preacher stood in his pulpit. His face was thin and worn. His gown fell limply around him, He looked, as he stood there, forlorn. 15

His voice was low, yet powerful, As a few grave words he said; Then a prayer he softly murniured And a notice short he read. He tiu ' ncd his face toward the organ, The choir rose, quick to respond. Then an anthem softly chanted, And a second psalm, not so long. Then the preacher read from the Hymnal And the organ began to play. The choir and the people, united. Sang the sacred hymn for the day. But ' ere the last words were uttered. A fearful surprise came about, The people were singing in darkness. The electric lights had gone out. l- or a moment, fear of a panic. But the organ continued to play. A voice from the audience commanded Each one in her seat to stay. Then a faint, faint glimmer of light Appeared in a far off place. And a second feeble glimmer Shone in a well-known face; Yet ' twas not Mr. Perkins advancing With relief and torches so grand, ' Twas the janitor of tlie chapel, .And he bore a lamp in his hand. The music had ceased most abruptly. The organ deserted remained. The player scared and excited Rushed over to the small flame. i6
