The Easter services atxthe Meth09ist

The church was crowded tosits fullest
capacity and standing room was az a
premium. The children of the Sunday
school presented a good program of
songs and Rotations. The children Of
the primary. intermediate department
gave two songs and the choir rendered
seven Easter selections. The home mis-

high mass on Easter Sunday. The
choir, organized a few weeks ago,
had only a few rehearsals, but the
rendition of this difficult mass was very
creditable. The solos were very nicely
sung by Mrs. Olive Hubbell, who has a
strong and well-trained voice. having
sung in choirs in other cities. The offer
tory solo by Miss Holemoe, on the violin,
was beautifully rendered; she also played
a pretty number as a occasional. Mr..
Porter of Minneapolis accompanied Miss
Holemoe on the organ, and he also
assisted the choir with the tenor part.
