SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

The Easter service this season at
Shorter Chapel will be better and
more elaborate than ever. No pains
are being spared to make the decora-
tion highly pleasing and suggestive,
in fact the decoration will be one of
the specialties of the celebration. And
then the music will easily eclipse any
of our former renditions. The main
Sunday School will render its exer-
cises at the Sunday School hour and
the primary department at p. m,
both of which will interest you. The
choir, supported by Denver's popular
violinist, Mr.. Geo. Morrison, and the
cello of Mr.. Clarence B. Duncan, will
render choice Easter numbers at the
morning hour and the eventide as
well. The beautiful cantata, Gross
and Crown" by Wilson, will be rem
dered at 1880 p m. and without ques-
ton will be one of the most brilliant
cantatas ever rendered in Denver. A
silver offering will be taken at the
door at this service. The pastor will
deliver a special Easter message and
the rite of Christian Baptism will be
administered at the afternoon service.

The effort to improve the quality OF
Juvenile literature, OF which tho fight
upon the "ycllowback" has been par
tlcular manifestation, is now attracting
increased attention and seems destined
to achieve no inconsiderable success. The
publishers and writer's OF nickel novels
find their sales dwindling at an astonish-
ing rate. They blame the motion picture
show at cents, which is offering such
an allurlng substitute that the men who
write this slot-machine literature are hav-
ing a hard time dsposing Of their prod
uCt.
The high h-ciass Juvenile publications and
the reputable publishing houses which
have devoted themselves to good juvenile
literature have been a potent influence In
