EASTER AT THE METHODIST cHuRc

EASTER AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
 Easter was observed with appropriate services at the Methodist church on Sun day last. The new stained glass windows have been placed in position and add greatly to the attractiveness of the inter- for of the church. The floral display, in honor of the day was tasty, beautiful and large. The pastor, Rev Mir Merwin, was unable to be present on account of sick ness, greatly to the regret and disap- pointment of the audience. The church was full and many came from distance solely to hear MT Merwin preach. His popularity grows apace. He deserves it, too. He will be unable to be with us next Sunday because of the general con ference at Danbury, but in two weeks we hope to see him in his wonted place at the church. An attractive program for Easter had been prepared, and under the efficient leadership. of Superintendent Porter, assisted by his able lieutenants in the Sunday school, it was perfect success. So we'll did each perform their part that there was not an interruption or break throughout. The program :: Organ voluntary.

His time had come His work all done, Beneath the Sun.

His time had come His work all done, Beneath the sun. The call of his Lord he needed, No longer to wait he pleaded. Why should he stay And still delay
 From Christ away? Earth was but dross, Delay was loss,
 To go, no cross. With his wedding garment girded, Faith in his Dear Lord well rooted, He bid adieu
 To me and you,
 Last interview.
 He's crossed the stream, Still lives unseen, Is it a dream? Can it be, his days are ended And his soul with saints now blended ? This day does show, That it is so,
 It's yes, not no.
 Sometime we'll meet, Each other greet, At Jesus feet. Till then, toll we in the vineyard As we journey upward, homew ard. To the ever, and the never; The forever.
