are being made for the Easter ser
vices, which will be elaborate. The
musical programs, especially at the

has given familiarity with the music
noticeably IN advance Of former years.
The church will be decorated as has

Want a Twelve Days Enoampment.

The question of twelve days en-
campmen: was discussed by the Ma
tional Guard association at its meet
ing at Harrisburg. Guardsmen as
rule are in favor of the longer en-
campment, but, on the other hand,
the fear is expressed that owing to
the probable inability of so many
young men to be absent from their
occupation fer such length of time,
many of them would refuse to join
the guard. This matter will be
thoroughly canvassed by the associa-
ton.
