 CHURCHES YESTERDAY
New Britain Has White Easter for
 First Time in Many Years.

After Saturdays snow storm, thc clearness and balminess of Easter | morning was doubly welcome yester- day and worshippers thronged the
 services in spite of the snow. It was the first white Easter New Britain has had in many years, a whiteness which did as much to add a bright

 Walking was somewhat difficult ill the morning before the house holders
 came out with their shovels, but in the afternoon the sunshine had dried the
 walks so thoroughly that most per sons ventured out with their best
 Easter finery.
 Excellent Easter music was given
 in all the churches at the regular ser
 vices. Special music services were
 held in several churches. At the
 South church vespers were held at
 4:S0. The cantata, "Thc Man From
 Nazareth" was sung by the choir of
 the Center Congregational church at T:30, and .cantata was sung at St. Marks church in the afternoon. The Sunday school Easter exercises at the Trinity M. E. church were held at
