Presbyterian Church Celebrated
Easter Sunday In a Most
Fitting Manner.
MANY VISITORS OVER EASTER SEASON

celebrated Easter in the following man
ener: The morning session, which
opened at 1870 o'clock, was conducted
by the Rev. S. A. Harker. He spoke
to a large congregation on the subject
of 1.-THE Worlds Greatest Conqueror.p
He compared the triumphs of Alex
-ander the Great, Napoleon, Caesar and
other world famous men with the vic
tory of Jesus Christ over death, show
ing how worthless were their successes
in comparison with the triumph of our
Lord on that first Easter Day. A duet,
1.-THE Lord Arose. which expresses
much the same thought, was sung by
Mrs. Domnitz and p. f. Mershon.
The church was beautifully decorated
with ferns, palms and flowers and a
large congregation enjoyed the effect
produced. Many of our summer men,
bers took this opportunity of visiting
was taken at both morning and eve
ming services. At 2.30 o'clock the Sab
bath school held its weekly session
and was very well attended. A feature
of the program which was very interes-
ting to the children was the gift of an
Easter Egg to each member of the
different classes. The services in the
evening consisted of a program of songs
and Rotations which were rendered
by the pupils of the Sabbath school.
The exercises were pleasing to oil those
who attended and must have been care
fully planned and practiced.
