Sundays following, the day turned out
to be really beautiful Easter day. Its
observance was general throughout the
different churches of our city, excepting
the Methodist. Each pastor delivered
sermon appropriate to the occasion,
and some very pretty Easter music was
rendered by the various chcirs. In
