ST. Stephens.
At the morning service the church was
filled with an attentive and devout con-
gregation. The music was inspiring and
had that hearty tone of triumph which
BELTS Easter. DR.. Dalton preached on
the hope of eternal life, inspired and
confirmed by Christs resurrection.
The floral decorations were ample and
arranged with taste, consisting largely
OF red carnations and white azalias, with
trailing vines, and many exquisite lilies.
Most Of the windows had memorials of
departed friends including the Brown
memorial window. We noticed those
for James Bailey, John Evans, Dr. Buzz
zell, Bessie Burnham, John Anderson
and others. In the afternoon the Sum
day school held it's anniversary. The
singing was spirited, the floral emblems

and whole appearance of the school in
