 Dr. Greening's text was from I. Cor. 15:53; For this corruption must put interruption and this nor tai must put on immortality. The sermon was enjoyed by large and appreciative audience.
 The choir of thirty voices con sisting of both the Junior and Sen for choirs was under the direction of R. F. Richardson.
 At 2:30 in the afternoon and again during the evening services beautiful pictures of the Passion Play" were shown. These pictures were secured through the courtesy of Wallis s. George, superintendent of the Sunday school

PRESBYTERIANS
 APPROPRIATELY
 OBSERVE EASTER

Tho services at the Presbyterian church yesterday in commemoration of the Eastertide were most encour- aging. The ladies had decorated the church with Easter lilies, and tulirS with an abundance of green house plants as a background for the blooming ones. The choir had prepared two anthems of excellent appropriateness, and as they had be- gun in full time to prepare the rending was most commendable.
 The church had planned for two months for the reception of a large class of members into the commun- ion, in accordance with the New Era Movement plan to make Easter day special service of this char acter Never has this church re- ceived so large a number at one service Quite a number of chill dren were presented for baptism and the service was concluded with the celebration of the Lords Supper. It is very evident that more room is needed for the growing congrega- tions who gather weekly for wor- ship.
 The Bible school had also made some careful plans for their worship and all was carried out with dignity and respect. A class of the little girls under the direction of Miss Ethel Nixon sang with credit to themselves and full pleasure to the school.
 This being the first Sunday of the year beginning the New Era cam paign for funds for the church, the result of the work of the canvassers was most evident in the response of envelopes signifying a weekly gift to the church during the coming year. The new Estey piano had ar rived during the week and was used for the first time at this service. Withal it was a record day in ey- cry department of the church work. The praise is given to God. The morning hour was so filled with special work the Easter sermon was delivered in the evening.

LORDS RISING
 NOT PROOF OF OURS
His Victory Proof First Of His Claims to Be Lord
 of Life

Tt is not Christs resurrecton itself that proves we shall rise again or live again, so much as what His victory proved Him to be- The apostle says it proved Him to be the Son of God, and, therefore, we can believe all His tremendous claims and trust what He revealed and promised-in regard to future life, our resurrection body, the char acter of the life to come, the reality of the spiritual life here and now and the final triumph of truth, jus tice, and righteousness. mus Dean Christian laid the foundation for his Easter sermon at Holy Trin- ity Cathedral yesterday morning.
 Holy Trinity Cathedral was filled yesterday with a congregation which took part in an inspiring service, Tn celebration of the Lords victory, which was the keynote of the whole service. The altar was banked with flowers, and the music was espec- tally fine.
 The sermon text was I. Cor. xv., 17.-"If Christ be not raised, then is your faith vain, ye are yet in your sins; they, also, which are fallen asleep in Christ are per ished"
 The resurrection was the sequel to the cross. If He had not been victorious, He would have been proved to be no more than any l. i-nc ah future life, triumph of righteous ness, and the efficacy of His death of no more value than any mans. But His resurrection was the vindi- cation of all He had claimed to be as the Son of God.
 He Himself had staked His claims on this momentous event; had promised it as a sign-His con- quering all the powers of evil, sin, and death had declared He had power ever life and death, over all mems lives and destinies, could lay down life and take it again.
 Either God or No Good
 'He had taught that He was the guarantee of immortality and the source of eternal life'-of spiritual life now as well as ever; that he would raise up men at the last day; that all souls belonged to Him; that he was the only means of ac- cess to the Father; that He could pardon sin. cleanse and redeem and, restore mankind.
 'Of course, if He were all this, death would have no power over Him; and, if He were not all this, He could not rise victorious over death any more than any other man.
 And His resurrection was the proclamation of His Deity and His oneness with the Father and the Holy Spirit. the vindication of His claims which had been rejected by sinful men.
 But also the declaration of His power to impart spiritual life here and now which alone makes inn mortality valuable. Immortality is not necessarily desirable without that which the Bible calls eternal life'-a certain order and quality of spiritual life, which cannot end.

Hamon, millionaire oil man and Re-
publican state leader, is in Ell Paso,

to Sheriff Orndorff.
Reports that she had taken refuge

Miss Smith was married to Frank L.
Haman, nephew of the man she ia
charged with killing, but was divorced
from him in 1917. The original charge
against her was shooting with intent
to kill, but after the death of Haman
it was amended to the charge of kill

1t was said yesterday that the ia.
