OBSERVE EASTER WITH
EXCELLENT PROGRAM
First Christian Sunday School Wins
Over Burlington in contest
Yesterday.

The First Christian Sunday school
observed Easter with an excellent
program OF music and readings in ad-
dition to the usual exercises.
The attendance at this school yes
terdav was 494. The Pauline class
had an attendance of 40 and there
were SO per cent in the mems class.
Eleven classes had an attendance of
over twenty.
The school is following the policy
of having two or more teachers as
signed to each class. and in that way
the large attendance in each class can
be taken care of than when the class
is In charge Of only one teacher. The
plan is working out very satisfactor-
lily and is partly responsible for the
increased attendance and increased
interest.
In the contest with the First Chris
tan Sunday school of Burlington. the
local school won by 1O7 points yester-
day. Only three more Sundays re-
main in the contest and the local
school is slightly in the lead, and the
contest promises to be a very close
one. The Burlington school Is putting
forth every effort possible to win out
in order that it may have an unbrok-
en- record of winning every contest in
which it has engaged.
