tangible assets whatever. which has never

public for the earning of money and yet
which has been endowed by the Legislature free

worth untold millions. So long as it's charter

Conducted Yesterday.
The Easter services at the German
Methodist Episcopal church began with
a sunrise prayer meeting at a m, led
by Miss Anna Belle Daum and Mr..
Wesley Schultz. Beginning at 9:15 a.
m. until 1880, the Sunday school car
ried out a very elaborate Easter mis-
slonary programme under the direction
Of Mr. Ernest Metzner. who had spared
no pains to make the same a success.
The central idea OF the exercises was
expressed by frame work erected on
the platform. consisting oftwo uprights
and n cross-piece connecting the same.
On one Of these pillars was inscribed,
"Prophecies": on the other FULFILLED"
and on the beam. Eternal Life
is Ours" Around this structure class
after class recited and glorious Easter
singing was heard. There was a very
large attendance, also, OF the older
people. The seml-annual missionary
collection OF this school amounted on
this occasion to $40.
At 1880 the pastor preached to a full
house on. "Life's Burdens Viewed in
the Light Of the Resurrection OF
Christ"
In the afternoon the funeral OF Err
nest Jansen, son of Mr. Gerhardt jan
sen, took place from the church. This
young man. a member OF this congrega-
ton, was In his eighteenth year, OF

Impressive and Beautiful Easter

Yesterday morning at 1880 the ser

much to the beauty OF the decorations.

The church was densely crowded.
camp stools having been placed in each
aisle; even this did not accommodate
the large crowd. as the galleries were
packed. as also was the vestlbule Of the
church.
The music was the finest that has
been heard in the Cathedral for many
years, and much credit is due to the
new organlst, Mr.. William Kenny and
to the director. Mr.. Mendel.
The very tuneful and melodIous mass
Of Willard in B FIAT. was rendered, as
sisted by a full orchestra.
All the singers collectively and lndI-

At the close of the mass, solemn pa

Rev. Bishop.
