The solemn ordinance OF Baptism and
the rite OF confirmation were administered
TO number Of applicants, and the Lords

Of the church not prevented by sickness

upon the pulpit and overlooking the com.
munion table. The music was altogether
congregational and was entered into with
heartsomeness by all present. Miss Var.

Ranist, Mrs. Frazer, being sick. Every
seat In the audience room was occupied,
some OF them even to discomfort. The

the duty and responsibility and the wick.
edness OF using religious profession as
a cloak for Sin. The morning service was

BY very many OF the members and
friends OF the Sunday School, yesterday

day service. Long before the hour for
opening the seats were filed up, and by q
O'CLOCK there was very little empty space.

the pastor, with Prof. Schofeld as musical
director. The opening hymn,
',MAFy 10 tho savlor'a tomb
Insted al the early dawn"

already an index OF the eArnestness with
which every part Of The services would be
conducted. The Easter picture was tine

The picture was greatly admired, and
happily set forth the truths Of Easter.
Several pleasant surprises were In store
for the school tho fret being visit by the
Jubilee Singers, under Superintendent
GateYoo1, whose splendid rendering
oil 10 give thanks unto the Lord"
Steal away and come 10 Jesus" and
