 The entire day was given up to the festival of Easter. In the morning the pastor, Rev. A. H, Wyatt, preached an appropriate ser mon preceded and followed by appropriate music.
 In the evening the church was crowded, on the occasion of an Easter praise service by the congregation, Sabbath school and choir. Printed programmes made it possi- ble for every body to join in the singing and responsive reading, which they did in most hearty and effective manner. The choir numbering upward of thirty voices, under the direction of Professor Jepson, sang very finely. The two Noyello selections" Now On The First Day of The Week." by Lahee, and by Stainer, are beautiful compost tions and will bear more than single rendering. The soloists were Miss Carrie Buckbee, Flossie Burchell MT. Arthur Jepson and MT 0. A. Morse. The Sabbath school, led by the choir, and accom- panied by the great organ, entered the church by three different doors singing the processional: 'All the bells are ringing" The spectacle as well as the music was in spring. Superintendent w. E. Camp led ill responsive readings with the Sabbath school and the pastor, alternated with the congre- gation. Mrs. Preston with her large primary class occupied the front seats and gave much pleasure to the audience with number of songs and recitations The feature of this was the responsive acclaim "We thank Thee Heavenly Father" by the little folks. Miss Mabel Wyatt, the pastors daughter, gave very acceptable reading.
 Two. other little speakers, Miss Clara Jep- son and Harry Anderson, gave interesting recitations.
 The display of flowers, though not quite laVlSh as on some former occasions, was eA- ceedingly neat and tasteful. The various crosses, stars and other emblems were the handiwork of Mrs. Finken and Mrs Hitch cock, committee. The entire programme was grand success, ,unequalled, if ever surpassed, in this old church.
