GOOD xRLDAY SERVICE.

| GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE.
Corunsa Coxnardery, No. 81
Kaights Templar, held religious ser
vices in Christ church on Good Fri
day, The Rector, Rev. Sir Knigh
Matrau, officiating. The occasion
vas one OF great interest. The
Commandery, under leadership OF
Eminent Commander, Hon. Hugh
McCurdy, numbering 46 swords,
presented splendid appearance as
j, marched up Washington street,
led by the Owosso Cornst Band.
At the church the services were
impressive and solemn. The SER
mon, decidedly able and eloquently
delivered, can be found on another
page of this issue of The TINES, and
ought to be carefully read by all into
whose hands this weeks TINES may
come, as from it much may be learn
ed concerning the organization, its
purposes and Of the work of the Or
der of Knights Tenplar, which has
played so important a part in past
ages as the special defender of the
faith.
After the services at the church
the Commandery with invited guests
proceeded to the Junction House,
where dinner, such as mine host
Thomas knows so we'll how to pre-
pare, was served in fine style and
which was as refreshing treat TO the
physical man as the services at the
church had been to the moral and
intellectual.
After dinner the Commandery
paraded our streets, paying its re
spects to the Rector, accompanied
by the band, which at the Rector's
rendered in a manner to attract
special CONNIE dation that we'll.
known and always impressive piece,
'Nearcr my God to Thee"
All in all the occasion was one Of
deep interest and pleasant associa-
tons, and we hope that on each re-
turn Of that blessed day, for long
years in the distant future, led by its
present genial Commander or as
worthy successor, Corunna Com
mandery may honor the day as they
did on this occasion, full of life, hope,
vigor and immortal aspirations.
