Easter at the village church in a dreamlike memory
Two sisters Mary and Betty sneak into a tall village church on Easter afternoon, enthralled by the organ, flowers, and white robed choirboys. They witness a Sunday school presentation and receive flowers from Miss Barnard. The girls feel a new wonder and vow to return, charmed by the warmth of the service.
