Easter Service

The Easter observance in Monterey
was of the uusual simple order, Rev.
g. W.~Staples preaching a sermon at
the Methodist church on the resur-
rection, with appropriate hymns and
some special selections by the choir
The morning proved to be rather
gloomy and uncomfortable, but ear
ly in the day the clouds and mist
cleared and the sun shone bright and
warm, as if in sympathy with the Eas
ter time which brings it's glow of spir
Iitual warmth and gladness.
1t was Mr.. Staples last sermon for
the conference year, and in company
with E. B. Jones, he left for the city
of Washington where the annual con
feranceconvened on Tuesday. The pas
tor announced that he would take
with him very creditable report for
the year; that Monterey chSrge had
paid out in full, all the other appoint
|ments, meeting salary apport1on-
ments, with only small deficit on
conference claims at one or two pla-
ces. The total amount collected for
all purposes was approximately 3d.
500; conversions on the charge about
III, with 70 or more accessions to
the membership of the church.
Mr.. Staples expects to be returned
to this charge unless his application
for a place as conference evangelist,
made in 1919, should come up for
final and favorable consideration.
He is faithful and earnest, both as
preacher and pastor, and his return
to this field will be generally @pprov-
ed by his people.
