than double that of last year. There
were recitations, singing and address
es by Rev Mr.. O'Hern and Professor
! Douthat.

auditorium. The floral display was
so elaborate that Mr.. Rogers photo
graphed it for sale. The choir re-
ceived dozen elegant, high backed
chairs as an easter present from their
leader DR.. Coombs. A dozen of the
most gifted and finely trained yocalists
of the city, ladies and men of the
highest social standing, constitute the
choir. The pastor frequently pays
tributes to their splendid music. They
never sang better than yesterday
morning and evening. After DR..

baptized and one young man united
with the church. Alta p. m. there
was large attendance at the congre-
gational class meeting, led by Profess
