 As if to atone for the dreariness of the week which proceeded it, Easter day dawned bright and clear, alia glorious flood of sun light shone through the large east window of St. Michael's on the congregation wEo gather ed there at the early morning service. This service was the first held in the church since the completion of tie repairs, which have been in progress during the past month, and but for the indefatigable efforts of the ladies of the parish in laying down carpets and put ting on the finishing touches the building would not have been ready for use so soon. The church IS greatly improved by the re. hoVal of the side galleries, and the organ, though not yet in perfect order, is in far bet. ter condition than it has been for many months. Two new windows of stained glass, taking the place of the doors which formerly led into the rooms at the end of the galleries, are quite noticeable. Oae of these windows was given by ''St Michael's Guild" and the other by the little son of the Rector. The Easter decorations of flowers, were, as usual. very beautiful. The font was a mass of calla lilies and every available corner was occupied by some emblem or wreath of flow CTS, whose fragrance filled the church. There were three services during the day-at Ca m. Il a. m., and 2p. m., the latter being the Easter celebration of the Sunday School.

At the afternoon servic, the children of the Sunday School marched into the church singing as professional tn, hymn, "Oaward Christian Sodiers'' in which they were led ny the cornet. They were . very pretty sight with their waving banners and their singing, on the whole, did then credit After inc spryice lar9a rn,,h., ~~
