but later in the day the elements became
more foul and hard rain began in the
afternoon. Good attendance at the church
was an encouraging feature OF the service
and Rev Spring used the words "He is
risen" for his text and preached a very
interesting sermon from IT, The good
attendance was not caused by the ex-
hibit of Easter finery but was in the in
terest of the sermon for which we are
very thankful. The singing was good
with Mrs. Harry Smith at the organ.
Mrs. Smith plays coed and 1t is a grea,
help to the services to have her at her
post. As we are short of timber to work
with 1t was impossible to have the regu ular
Easter services but We are in hopes that
the attendance will warrant a Childrens
Day program in June.

The high winds of Friday made it in
teresting for those who had to cross the
