THE Easter service at the First Baptist
church was perfect in it's programme
| from first to last The sermon by the
pastor on the RESURRECTION as the
browning proof of His divine mission"
The last act that was necessary to au-
thenticate and finish the redemption of
the human race, was mastery, and will
long linger in memory. Too much can
not be said with regard to the music,
the selections being of the issue of 1895.
The first Carol composed by Prof
Downs, gave the key note to the whole
service, it was perfect, as was all the Sc
lections and the rendering was pro-
nounced by those who are critics, to have
been equal to anything in our largest
city churches. The organist, A. j.
Cooper, discoursed more sweetly than
ever, his part of the service being COM
plete. Mr.. Cooper is an artist, his exc
cution of the most difficult music is fault
less and the spirit of devotional part is
always observed.
