was not much in sympathy with the
occasion. A coldwind blew from the
northwest all day andSit was not very
pleasant to be out. This had some
thing to do with keeping some people
at home. The various churches pre-
pared special programs or services for
the occasion and they were all Of an
Interesting character.

"a. Babcock, Of Sioux Falls, conduct
ed the service. The recess behind
the altar was ~prettily decorated with
palms and flowers, and there was a
very good audience in attendance.
Most of the special music that had
been prepared had to be omitted on
account of the ind1sposition of Mr..
BoYles. Mr.. Bahcock's sermon was
in close harmony with the features
OF the day. and he was given close
attention during its deliyerance.
The communion was observed at the
close of the regular service. In the
afternoon at this church the St. Rer-
nard Commandery attended its Easter
deyotions. There were about twenty
fyA Knights in attendance and they
presented a handsome appearance in
the uniforms. The services were Goa
