The lilies, red and white, were in bloom. The sky, seen through the windows, was very blue. The distant hills were becoming lighter green with new growth. Men and women of different churches or of none were bound in a common act of worsship. Some knelt on the bare, brown boards or on straw mats, some sat upon tools or cushions they had brought, the rest stood together at the back of the hall.
