church, and especially the Affairs, were
beautifully decorated by the Sisters,
with Easter lilies and other natural
flowers appropriate to the occasion.
Rev. Weyec preached a very interest

and German. The beautiful Mass sung
by the male choir added a feeling of
solemnity to the occasion, and the rem

Lenten preparation for this great festi-
val of the Resurrection of our Lord
were plainly evident.
