ed the festival of the Risen Lord on
Sunday and the day proved to be one
of the most notable Easter Sundays
ever known in Kenosha. The weather
was ideal and in fact the day was the
warmest March day known in the his
tory Of Kenosha and the only thing
that prevented the day from being a
perfect summer day was the strong
southwest wind which blew during the
day bringing August temperature.
Special services in keeping with the
Easter tide were held in all of the
churches in the city and the musical
programs offered at these services
were the best ever given by the choirs
of the various churches in the city.
Many of the churches had soloists for
the day. In the Catholic churches
great crowds attended the early serv
ices. The chancels of all the churches
were richly decorated for the annual
festival and special sermons were the
Accomplishments of the special music.
In several of the churches the new
members were received and special
services were held in the afternoon at
which many little children received
the sacrament of baptism.
The weather was just the weather
needed to bring out the display of
Easter millinery and Easter garments
and many of the church audiences
were brilliant on account of these
displays.
The most notable service of the Eas-
ter celebration was at the Park
Avenue M. E. church where the Rev.
Perry Millar preached the annual SER
mon to the members of the Kenosha
Conimandery of the Knights Templar.
1t is the annual custom of the mem
bers Of the Commandery to attend pub
lie worship on Easter Sunday and this
year the observance Of this custom in
Kenosha was of more than ordinary
note. The members Of the Kenosha
Commandery turned out seventy strong
and they had as their guests for the
service the members of the Waukegan
Commandery. The members Of the Wis
iting commandery came up from Wau-
kegon on a special train many of them
being attended by their wives. The
visitors were met at the train by the
members of the local commandery and
with band the line of march to the
church was taken up. At the church
every seat was filed, the audience be-
ing one of the largest ever attending
a church service in Kenosha. After
the church service the visiting Sir
Knights were entertained at an in
formal luncheon at the Masonic TEN
pie.
The program at the church was a
decidedly interesting one, special mu-
sic being rendered by a chorus choir
under the direction of S. G. Newman.

In his sermon Mr.. Miller said in
part:
Coaster day is memorable in that
it commentaries one of the greatest
events that has ever taken place in
human history. The fact of the re-
surrection of our Blessed Lord is The
chief corner stone of our faith.
from the ravages of the profane and
barbarous Mohammedan.
''Those ancient brethren stood FOR
the noblest achievements. From their
ranks arose the first Knights. They
sprang to the defense of the things that
we hold most dear; womanhood, virtue,
maintenance of the right against the
encroachments of the wrong, the preser-
walton of Christianity and the glorif-
cation of the Cross.
"In conjunction with the knights
of the glorious past, the Knight of
the twentieth century still confesses
that he believes in Jesus Christ and
believes that the third day He rose
from the dead; that He assembled into
heaven, and si5teth on the right hand
