This is most inspiring musical compo-
sition, and as the choir has made splen.
did preparation for its rendition, it will
be most fitting closing of Easter day
to catch the spirit it breathes in the
musical numbers it presents. Let
every member and friend of the church

spirit and proving our appreciation of
the effort that has been put into its
production. A short session of the

The big convention is drawing near

reservations are coming in very fast.
and everything promises for the big
gest thing of its kind ever held in Cres-
co. The array of talent speaks for it,
self, and would be hard to duplicate in
any city of any size. Folks, whether
Methodists or not, who have not caught
the bigness rof it as an opportunity will
be saying: ''It's too bad, l did not
realize that it would be lsuch a privi-

A Birthday Party.

On April 3rd, at the pleasant home
of Wells, Eaton at Chester, occurred
the anniversary celebration of Mr..
Eaton's 18th birthday. The day was
somewhat inclement, but the visit was
a delightful one long to be remembered
by those present to enjoy it. There
were present at the occasion about 80,
nearly all relatives. The guests gath
cred together about 2 o'clock, soon
after the trains from the south and
north brought in guests from Cresco
and LIE Roy. A bounteous dinner was
served after offering up of thanks to
The Giver of all good by the Bro. I. L.
Eetan. and altar feasting on the boun-
ties Of nature, Wells was presented
with nice bedstead and a set of bed
springs. While Mr.. Eaton was com.
Portable in these lines, the new one
will make him all the more comfortable
so it was thought best to present him
with these splendid gifts. Wells en-
joyed the occasion, and while there was
no presentation speech made, we all
know that Wells feels very thankful
for these gifts and for the lives
and presence Of the guests present,
and for his visit with them in his home.
This occasion will long be remembered
by all who participated in it.
