EASTER DAY SERvIcEs.-Sunday was typi-
cal Easter day. The sun came out in all of his

the Hickory, at 1917 A. NJ, Rev. Franc is Fow-
Ter, pastor, officiating The liar was adorned
with lovely flowers. Battman's mass in was
sung by the well-trained choir, led by Professor
Mahoney, organist. The choir is composed OF
Mrs. John s. Young, Miss Laura Cain, Hiss
Katie Blake and Mrs. Thomas Fl. Robinson,
sopranos, and Miss Fannie Cain, alto. The alto
was well sustained and deserves special men,
ton. There was also solo, Reg ina Coli,
beautifully rendered by Professor Mahoney,
whose reputation as a musician, both vocal and
instrumental, is we'll established.
The usual morning service was held at EN-.
manuel P. E. Church, Bel Air, Rev. j. B.
Craighill, rector. The church was beautifully
decorated with flowers and growing plants, and
the music was of an exceptionally high order.
