land and sea. We have had few
bright days, since the New Year,
switched in between wetness IS aud
cOldnesses of leagued length, yet we
can now rejoice without being afraid
that it is too soonD that old winter has
made his departure. The young grasses,
on lawns and winding slopes, that
awhile back lay shivering upon the
sheltering bosom of their mother earth,
are luscious and growing tall. On
every branch, the birus-"with voice of
angels In their harmOny"-are sing
ing. The April showers have brought
out the pastures, gardens, wheat and
oat fields, anhcaused the planted corn
to sprout; the'fruit was not harmed by
last weeks wintry blast, and the hopes
of our people for prosperous year, are
bright as these charming spring morn
ings.
Easter morn dawned bright and clear,
and, at the Method st Church, large
congregation greeted Rev. w. W.
Graves, who preached an excellent ser
mon, full OF z spell strong enough TO
save the chief of sinners. The singing
by the choir was unusually good; the
Easter Anthem, "Christ, The Lord, is
risen to-day" was skillfu!ly rendered,
and the vocal duet, II love 20 hear my
y
Hewlett and Willie Tomlinson, could
not have been surpassed. We arr
proud of our choir. 1t is composed of
as fine looking set of Young ladies
and men as could be started anywhere,
and their singing is equal to the best
But the chief attraction of the dsy, was
the night service, in which sixteen little
children Misses Sue, Orlean and Alice
Martin, Mary Stephens, jamie Grayes,
Matte, May, Nellie and Lindsay Tom
linsOn, Blanche Ros!.ear, and Lizzie
Cockrill, Masters Roy, Walter aud
Lindsay Stephens, Jimmie Williamson,
and Lewis Martin) took part. Thr
chancel was beautifully decorated with
flowers, notices, and candles in silver
holders. Each child did credit to him or
herself, and the young ladies who had
the affair in hand. / was especially
pleased with master Roy Stephens
singing of IA Child's Missionary Song"
ana the recitation by his brother Lind
say. Lindsay is a handsome "little
tot" of four or five summers, and in a
clear, swee', lisping voice, bravely said
his part. He was applauded, and l felt
like squeezing him right tight in my
arms. The children are now looking
forward to "Children's Day" in May.
These Methodist children, under their

treasury, as we'll as the treasury of Gnr
Scarrit Bible and Training School, and

years hence.
No services at the PRESBYTERIAN
Church Sunday. At the Bal
Church, Rev. MIR. Sherman delivered
two fine sermons. His sermons for sew
eral Sabbaths have been upon the rela-
tion of God to man. Sunday morning
his subject was "God, our Savior"9
that night. "God, our Judge" The Sc
ries proved to be quite interesting.
Saturday and Sunday week (April
18th and l6th) is the time of our quar-
terly meeCing-our third for this con.
ference year.
Rev. d. f. Osteen will preach in the
Cumberland Church at Scribner's
Mills on next Sunday.
