applied themselves during their stay at the

HELD IMPRESSIVE
EASTER SERVICE
YESTERDAY

Easter was red letter day for All
Saints Episcopal Church. The morn
ing congregation filled the edifice and
the service was unusually impressive.
The music was rendered by choir
OF fourteen voices under the leader
ship of Mrs. II. J. Drane, who presid-
ed at the organ A very strong and
helpful sermon was delivered by the
rector, Rev. w. b. Curtis who took
for his ubject: Those Who Can Ap-
preciate Easter" The special offer
ing, for the success of which system
attic efforts were made at he begin
ming of Lent, amounted to s1S2.S3
placed on the plate at the service.
This amount together with STATS
handed to the rector previous to the
service. and pledges from those not
present at the service will bring the
amount up to s49175 or little more
than Sl00 less than the amount asked
for by the rector. to be used towards
the purchase of an organ as a memo
rial to the Rev. j. II. Wedell who for
more than 2S years was rector of the
parish. This speaks well of the
church which within the last 60 days
has raised an additional sum of 81, 100
towards the church Pension Fund.
Several baptisms have taken place
during the past week and the rector's
quiet but effective work is telling in
the building up of the parish.
In addition to the more than usu-
ally beautiful Easter decorations.
were some special features which
were most timely and effective. High
over the altar was a large electric
cross, having a background of white
representing stone work. On either
side and above the altar were two
flags, the national emblem on one
side and the Church flag on the other.
The church flag. which is used by the
Army and Navy at all religious serv-
ices. is white cross on q field of
blue.
The Rector, Mardeus and Vestry of
the church desire to express their ap-
probation of the efforts of all of
those who in so many ways helped
in the decorations, music and other
features which made up service
long to be remembered.
