Two congregations which
taxed not only the seating but
the standing capacity of the
Methodist church gathered last
Sunday morning and evening for
the Easter services which had
been postponed a week on ac-
count of the illness of the pas
tor. At the morning meeting
three were received into the
church and seven were baptized.
The sermon was on interesting
work done by the Missionary
society of the Methodist church
and at it's close the pastor
asked an Easter Offering of $35
for missions and the amount
was at once pledged. The
floral decorations from Phoenix
and Los Angeles were the re-
mark of all. Each member of
the Sunday school had been
given a bouquet of roses, while
the pulpit was a bank of roses
and Easter lilies.

The report has been industri-

doctor in, he left word for him
to come at once on his return.
He also bought a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
which he hoped would give
some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In a few hours
he returned, saying the doctor
need not come as the child was
much better, The druggist, Mr.

has since recommended Cham

has a constant demand fOf 1t
