Then after a pause she asked, 'Why didn't Jesus always stay down in the world, Aunt Sibyl? Why did He go back to heaven so soon?' 'I think He told us He had finished His work, my dear.' 'What work?'

Olive quietly, being quite accustomed to personal remarks from her aunts, 'because he has got a new tie on. It's a pretty blue one.' 'Does everybody wear something new on Easter Sunday?' Roland asked quickly. 'It's an old superstition, dear; no, everybody does not.' 'Why ought we to wear new things?' demanded Olive. 'Why, Olive, of course it's because it's the proper time,' answered Roland. 'Easter is when people get their new bodies, and the flowers are all new.' Olive was quite satisfied with this explanation. Miss Sibyl, who did not seem quite as bright as usual, looked at them with wistful eyes. After breakfast was over she took Olive into the garden with her. The child begged to be told the 'Easter story,' and Miss Sibyl tried to oblige her, saying as she did so, 'But you know it much better than I do.' When she had finished her rather halting narrative, Olive looked up and added,-- 'So everybody dried their tears and were very happy, because they knew Jesus would never die again.
