f. Sunday school from Mr.. and Mrs.
o. A. Libbey of Laramie, Wyoming,
was read at the Easter morning ses-
sion. During their stay of about a
year. Mr.. Libbey as superintendent
and Mrs. Libbey as secretary render
ed our Sunday school valuable SER
vice which is still bearing fruit, and
will doubtless continue to do so. We
were pleased to hear from these
friends and to know thai their year
in the West has teen 1.-The very best
of their lives thus far.
The Easter Program of the NJ. E
Sunday school was a double head
err, and thoroughly enjoyed by the
large number present, both morning
and evening. The decorations were
very beautiful, and each and every
one who took part in the program
did exceedingly well, not excepting
those who participated in the Easter
Offering, which was double that OF
the highest on record heretofore.
Mr. and Mrs. Arney and Mrs. Shoe
maker drove up to Libbey school
house to hear the Easter program on
Sunday.
Mr. Becker who has been so very

They report highly instructive
deeply spiritual and altogether help
full and inspiring meeting, and wish
that many of the Ridgeway ladies
might have enjoyed it with them.
The Easter Program at the Nor.
gan church was very fine one, the
attendance was large and so too was
the offering.
The Easter exercises of Libbey
Sunday school attracted large audi
ence which filled the room, and nc
one went away disappointed. A choir
furnished several songs, and recita-
lions were given by a number of the
members, besides a number of beau
tifully appropriate selections on the
Victrola SO kindly furnished by Miss
Lemon were enjoyed by all present.
The flowers, the pictures, the prevail
ing good spirit, and the generous
giving, together with the excellent
program made this an afternoon al
Libbey Sunday school long to be re-
membered. The committee is de-
serving of much credit for their fine
work.
