Easter Sunday was appropriately OBJ
served at the Methodist church here which
was beautifully decorated with a pro-
fusion of blossoming plants, pure lilies
being distinctive feature amid the floral
display As the Congregational church Is
still pastorless no attempt was made to-
ward an observance at the Union church,
the first time in many years that Easter
services have been omitted there Rev.
Mr.. Norton, the presiding Elder, delivered
sermon of touching power ana pa'hos.
Easter exercises of singing. Rotations
and readings In the evening were OF much
interest, and quietly listened to by large
audience.
We are glad to learn that Daniel Handy
who has been so seriously i'll for several
weeks is so much improved that he is ex-
pected home soon
On Thursday evening, March 23. at the
Union church, the Frances E. Willard
Union. held another interesting public
meeting. This was little departure from
the usual custom of holding these gospel
temperance meetings on Sunday evening :;
some members having questioned the mat
ter, believing a week day evening more
appropriate, 1t was thought best to test
the point, and though fair sized audience
Was present. 1t was generally conceded
that much larger number would have
gathered upon Sunday evening, and as the
main object Is to drop the seed into as
many hearts as can possibly be reached
no doubt the former method will be re-
sumed. The new committee on public
meetings, Mrs. Lizzie Holmes, Mrs F. NJ
