AT ST. PAUL's 0HURH.
Yesterdays services at st. Paul's
Episcopal church were of the most in
teresting kind. The decorations were
up to the usual high standard cf other
years, and the attendance during the
day was so great that some were turned
away for lack of room. The singing was
good and especially so were the solos-in
the Easter anthem 'sHe is Risen," being
by Mrs. Price and Mrs. Varney. An
early communion was celebrated at 8
o'clock, and at IL was the regular morn
ing service, followed by communion par
taken by those unable to attend the
service. Mr.. Goss gave a most interest
ing and instructing sermon from st.
John the xxth chapter, "For as yet they
knew not the scripture, that he must
rise again from the dead" He spoke of
what great trial of faith it was to see
their Savior hanging on the cross; the
most ignoble death that could be given,
and that their faith was truly gift of
God to stand such a severe test. An
other trial that day also, was to see him
resting in the tomb, apparently dead as
were all others who had left this world.
"But the first day of the week behold
all was changed by his glorious arising.
OH how wonderful the joy of the disci-
Piles when Christ manifested himself"
Easter day made plain the story of Good
Friday. The power of the cross comes
from the power of the resurrection. Mr..
Goss then referred to baptism as repre-
senting death, while the holy commu-
Mon represented the resurrection.
"With great joy we bless God for this
day, that through the resurrection of
Christ we may be resurrected to eternal
life," and then closed one of the most
beautiful sermons ever heard in st.
Paul's. At O'Clock the yfte of Baptism
was administered, followed by chill
dren's choral service which, with the
evening ceremonies, comprised the cele-
bration of the day at St. Paul's church.

copal churches. At the two former they
were very elaborate.
AT THE M e. CHURCH.
The services at the Methodist church
were held in the morning, the children
participating in them, in lieu of the
usual Sunday school exercises. The
altar was decorated with potted plants,
bouquets and vines of Oregon grape.
The service was chiefly singing, the
choir being assisted by a number of the
larger Sunday school pupils. The
opening number was a chant of the
Lords prayer, followed by the apostles
creed, which were very beautiful and
impressive. A song by the choir and
congregation followed, and responsive
reading, led by Mr.. Wm. Michel. After
prayer and beautiful anthem by the
choir, there was singing by Miss Dem
ing's and Mr.. Hills classes. Then a
recitation. ''The Resurrection, by Jes-
sic Harsell, Bennie> Stevens and Eugene
Davis. The "Cfusaders' Hymn" was
then sweetly sung by Miss Deming's
class. Next came a recitation, "The
Hope of Israel" by WillIe~Clark and
Pearl Grimes. The missionary offering
for the year was then taken, followed by
singing by the infant class. The pastor
then delivered short address on "Mis-
sione." Singing by the congregation
followed, Il Know that My Redeemer
Liveth," and benediction closed the
interesting exercises. Mrs. Smith
French, superintendent of the Sunday
school, conducted the progrdm.
AT THE coNGREGATIoNAL.
Easter services in the Congregational
church took place in the evening. The
services were combined with a quarterly
review. The committee on program and
the drillmasters were Mrs. S. L. Brooks,
Mrs. B. S. Huntington and e. H. Mer-
rill. Great pains must have been taken,
as the exercises were claimed by those
in attendance to have been little the
best ever given in The Dalles.
The exercises were opened with song
by the school. The three essays by Lena
Thompson of Mrs. Briggs class, Bessie
Snipes of Mrs. Brooks class, and Maud
Michel of Mrs. Curtis class were very
finely written and contained many in
tesesting thoughts. The subject of Miss
Lena's was "The Forerunner of Christ"
Miss Bessie's was 'sThe Ministry of John
the. Baptist" and Miss Maud's was
s'The Power of Jesus" The song ''We
are Little Friends of Jesus'' was very
sweetly sung by the classes of Mrs.
6fbons and Mrs. Huntington. Mrs.
COndon's infant-clas also sung very
pretty song and refrain, entitled "Step-
ping in the Light" An Easter carol
was sung by Mrs. Briggs class, followed
by carol, "The Lilies" by three of
Mrs. Curtis class. Mrs. Condon's class
gave an exercise of questions and ans
weTs, which proved very interesting,
entitled, 1.-The Good Samaritan" Miss
Hill's class gave song and exercise in
connection with the lesson, entitled
"Faith and Courage" Mrs. Brooks
class, which is the largest in the school,

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair.
Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry OF patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
ayers Sareaparilla Is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
-list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits.n
In the fall of 1893 SON of Mr.. t. A.

pains in his chest were so severe that he
had spasms and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him sew
eral large doses of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough and
cured him. Mr.. Mcfarland says when.

TO WORKINGMEN.

/ The Journal is convinced that the
| greater part, the overwhelmingly greater
part, of what is called the labor vote not
only in this city but throughout 1.-The ma
ton, is to he cast for Bryan. Some work
ingmen there are who hesitate and their
hesitation doubtless proceeds from their
doubt as to the effect of free coinage
upon their personal fortunes. To such
we would address a few questions, leav-
ing them to answer according to their
understanding:
Have you noticed that all the trusts
all the millionaire. corporations the Rookie
fellers, Pullmans, Hannas, Carnegies
and Paynes, the railroad companies.
which maintain black lists and the te,e-
graph companies, which prohibit labor
Does this Indicate that his candidacy Is
one of friendliness to labor?
Have you noticed that every corpora
ton and every individual enjoying profit
able privileges from the Government is
for Mckinley? Does this argue that his
success will bring about that regime of
equal rights to all and special privileges
to'none under which only can the poor
man enjoy his just share of Government
tai benefits?
Have you noticed that all the gold pa
pers complain that the Silver miner will
get 81 for each 81 1-2 grains of his silver
and make profit of 80 cents? Does this
look as if you were going to get only n
53-cent dollar?
Looking back over your experience
have you ever seen work plenty when the
farmers were impoverished, and did you
ever know wages to be high when employ
ment was scarce?
But above all, can you discern any rea-
son why every element in the industrial
organization of society against which Won
have had to strive for your rights, and
almost for your existence, is for AIcKin-
ley, unless it is that Bryans election
would make yonr struggle easier and
your existence. pleasanter?-New York

his rash act and is now willing to take
the men back and pay them for the time
lost. He did not have the nerve to stand
the storm which he raised and now hum

that he was in error, all of which is very
