stone rolled away from the tomb.
And they entered in and found not
the body of the Lord Jesus. And 1t
came to pass while they were per-
nlexed thereabout, behold two men
stood by them in dazzling apparel
and as they We're affrighted ana
bowed down their faces to the earth,
they said unto them: Why seek ye
the living among the dead? He is
not here, but is risen. Luke XXiv,
l-6.
Yesterday was generally observed
in the Ardmore churches with spec
ial Easter services.
Easter is probably a pagan WORD,
originally used to signify the awak-
ening of the plant world after It's
long winters sleep, but to Christians
it has the added significance of the
triumph of the Christian religion.
At the Presbyterian and Broadway
Methodist churches there were spec
ial song services in the evening.
Mrs. Arthur Kyle, director of the
Presbyterian choir, arranged a mis-
cellaneous program.
Mrs. Kyle has thirty-five in the
choir now and is putting her whole
energy and enthusiasm in the work
Having recently accepted the po-
sition as directress, necessarily inc
organization will be at better ad'
vantage few months hence; how
ever, if last nights program be i'm
proved upon the choir will be an m
usual one, indeed.
The Christian Endeavors had dec
grated the pulpit and chancel foc the
occasion with vines, violets, jonquils,
daisies and ferns.
In the afternoon at the Broadway
Methodist church the knights Ie:H-
plar held their annual Easter servic-
es. Rev. Gray preached at night'
The Broadway Methodist choir, un'
der the direction of Mrs. n. c. Wood
sang their Easter cantata: Life
and Death"
This cantata was repeated from
the past Easter and was certainly
worth the second singing.
The choir has number o. soio-
lists and always give a finished, art
istic rendition of the music that IeV-
er fails to delight the crowded
church they always have.
At Lawrence chapel the Sunday
school enjoyed an Easter egS hunt,
followed by a sermon by Rev. Dixon
on Easter.
This Easter was particularly
happy one for the Christian denomi-
nation.
In the morning they held their
Easter services and sermon. In the
afternoon the corner stone to the new
church was laid, Rev. E. c, Mobley,
of Gainesville, delivering the address
Holy Mass was read at the Cath
olic church, at 10 O'Clock, Followed
by SF1unday school.
At the Broadway Baptist church
the congregation are getting ready
for a revival.
Rev. Masters preached at the
morning service and D. r. Wade lee
tured at the evening.
At st. Philips church holy com
munion was held at seven in the
morning and the children's Easter
service at 9.45. The sermon at elev
en- was on "The Life Everlasting.
The Guild of this denomination are
enjoying the happiest Easter they
have known for years.
They have raised the money to
pay off the church debt and at a
jubilee meeting of the Guild at the
rectory on April first the note of in
debtedness will be burned
The children especially have had
a happy time. The number of Eas
ter hunts has been unusually large
in fact TIE rabbits have never beer
buster than this Easter.
The day was rather a bad one fol
the new clothes it customarily brings
forth. But the millinery this season
fits your head like thimble on youl
finger, and nothing less than a cy
clone can dislodge it. A playful
zephyr like yesterdays doesn't ever
ruffle its composure.
