EPISCOPAL SERVICES
AT SUMMERTON

The Episcopal services of Holy
Week and Easter Of 1922 were of un-
usual interest being the last services
by their present rector, the Rev. w.
M. Walton. The solemn service of
the Fast of the Crucifxion on Friday
was attended by a congregation larg-
er thar the number who usually at
tend the Lcnten services.
Easter morning was the first East
er service held in the beautiful new
church with the grand pipe organ.
The organist, Mrs. l.. f. Brailsford,
is rapidly attaining mastery of this
instrument. The wealth of beautiful
flowers, the inspiring music of the
special choir, accompanied by the new
organ, will long be remembered.
The Rector did not preach q sermon
Of the usual farewell type. His text
indicated an Easter Theme: "Who
Shall Roll Away The Stone" The
offcrtory sung by Mr.. r. G.. Richard
son as soloist, "Thy Will Be Done"
was eXcellently rendered
The service closed with the hymn,
'1n the Sweet Bye and Bye" The
last four lines were sung by one of
the little boys as solo and were
peculiarly touching as indicating the
close bond existing between the Rector
and the children of Summcrton.
