Easter In BoscobeI.

Easter Sunday was appropriately
commemorated in the neighboring city
of Boscobel. AT the Congregational
church in the morning Rev. L. w. Cole
preached an able sermon and appro-
pirate to the occasion. The church had
been most beautifully decorated by
large pyramids of potted plants, and
flowers, and many fine pictures adorned
the walls. In the evening the Sunday
school exercises drew full house and
an interested congregation paid the
closest attention throughout the exer-
cises. By the aid of the brilliant lights
the decorative skill displayed showed to
good advantage, and the addition of
cages of singing canary birds, who kept
up their pleasant songs, made the affair
more complete. The responsive read
ings, the responses being led by Mrs.
Matt. B. Pittman, interspersed by sing
ing, were highly commendable. The
choir, led by Miss Lila Nelson, who
presided at the organ, acquitted them
selves with honors. The brief address
by the Pastor was full of thought and
feeling.
At the German Lutheran church, the
time-honored services of that denomi-
nation were appropriately rendered.
The church was handsomely and artist
cally decorated, and the members of
the congregation joined heartily in the
services The pastor preached a for
chile sermon on the death, burial and
resurrection of the Savior, which was
highly spoken of as being one of the
best ever delivered in the church.
