IsLEsBoRo. At the Baptist church last
Sunday Rev. Geo. E. Tufts preached an
Easter sermon from the text: "Christ that

Christ not risen, Christianity would have
died at its birth, Christian church would
never have been organized, and the splendid
Christian civilization which we now enjoy
would have been unknown to the world. In

school concert. The exercises, including
both Rotations and music, pertained to
the resurrection of Christ. The attendance
