EASTER IN THE CHURCHES
Beautiful Easter Services at Old
South

Believeing that there is no better
time for an emphasis upon the beau
tiful in church services than during
the Easter season, the Old South
church has made an extra effort this
year to have it's program for Easter
Sunday, impressive and helpful.
A sunrise Christian Endeavor SER
vice will be held in the vestry at $50
A. NJ. The leader will be Ferdinand
Coburn, special music will be sung
and the service promises to be of
much interest. The older people Of
the church are urged TO attend.
At the morning service at 1880 the
music will be sung by the vested
choir. Selections conveying the Eas-
ter story and based on the works of
Verdi, Rubenstein and Gounod will be
used. The younger members of the
choir will have a special offeratory
number, Beautiful Gates of Spring
time" The subject for the sermon
will be 1.-The Risen Christ" Several
children are to be christened and n
large number of people are to be re-
ceivede into the fellowship of the
church.
The opening exercises of the Sun
day school will be unusually interest
! ing to all. The children under the
direction of Miss Clara Stinson and
| Miss Abby Eveleth will give an Eas-
ter concert of recitations and songs.
The Easter Cantata THE King Tri-
| umphant" will be presented in the
evening at 7.30. A large chorus has
been practicing the difficult and beau
! tiful music of the Cantata for some
time and a successful production is
assured. The Cantata follows the
outstanding events of Christs life
during Passion week and Is made
very impressive by the introduction
of effective solos. The chorus num-
| bers are dignified, devotional and in
| spring.
The soloists of the evening will be
Mrs. Nettie Johnson, Mrs. Imogene
Vigus, sopranos: Carol Stevens,
Kenneth Turner, baritone: Edgar An
derson, tenor; Frank Pierce, bass.
All of these soloists sing their music
with feeling and understanding.
The members Of the chorus are:
Delphine Andrews. Harriet Nutting,
Ruth johnson. Elizabeth Coburn.
Maude Stickney, Lois Gum, Lucille
Morse, Marion Morse. Nettie john
son, Imogene Vigus Eleanor Falconi,
Louise Skillin. Helen Chadbourne.
Kathleen Andrews, Frank Pierce,
! Carol Stevens, Kenneth Turner. Ed
gar Anderson, Archer Snare. Accom-
panist, Clara w. Bradford.
| To make effective a service which
IS composed largely of music, 1t is
necessary that the audience under
stand the words. Therefore printed
copies of the Cantata have been OBJ
| tanned and will be put IN the hands Of
all who attend the service.
A cordial invitation Is extended to
the public to attend all the services
of the day.

HaIloweIl to Have New Cable

On Sunday. weather permitting,
telephone service in the. section of
Hallowell between Lincoln street and
Central street will be suspended for
the. greater part of tn day. This
suspension of service Is made neces-
sary during q series of cable-cut-
overs, in the work Of connecting q
new Hallowell cable. This new cable
carries 200 pairs of % gage wire and
replaces one of go pairs now in use.
Ihere has been steady growth of
subscribers in HallowelI and the new
cable has been placed at n consider
able expense to the telephone COM
pany in the effort to meet the pres
ent and expected demands for addi-
tions to the service in the city of
Hallowell.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1924-04-19

lowed with a selection from Philip
Frenau, a rather humorous verse
suggesting the possible trouble in
store for the British King if he per-
sisted in his systematic oppression
of the Colonies. Then came a musi-
cal number, a military march by
Olive Comeau of the junior class.
After this number Queenie Carbino
of the junior class read Longfellow's
paul Revere's Ride" and Alice
Stevens, q senior, followed with the
Concord Hymn" by the rude bridge
that arched the flood" by Ralph Wall
do Emerson. Then came a second
musical number, a vocal duet. Speed
Our Republic sung by Elizabeth
Coburn and Kathleen Andrews, Del
phene Andrews at the piano. After
this selection came two numbers on
patriotism in general, Love of
Country taken from Sir Walter
Scotts "Marmion," read by Gertrude
Grimes of the senior class and Sir
William Jones' What Constitutes A
State" recited by Loranna Prentiss
of the Sophomore class. The subject
of the next assembly will be "Maine".
1t will be shorter and less elaborate
in character.

Our study convinces US we are
facing no difficult problem in this
present inquiry, for the increase of
passenger fares Is not a question Of
wisdom, expediency, or discretion,
but of necessity. 1t seems to be an
absolute requisite to continued op-
Grafton. We feel that there is no al
Tentative but to apply the heroic
remedy OF rate increase to this pub
lie utility. II the future shall dis
close that the contemplated schedule
of fares Is excessive and brings rev.
enue to the Company that passes be-
yond its lawful requirements, this
Commission will have knowledge of
the fact and will reduce fares to a
level that will meet the provisions Of
the statute.
From our investigation we are
convinced that the prayer Of the De-
titioner should be granted in order
to comply with the statute which or.
dains,-
"The rate. toll or charge . for
any service rendered or to be render
ed in connection with any public util-
ity shall be reasonable cnd Just. TAX

value Of all its property, with the

DAVIS WOULD CONSIDER
 ABILITY AND FITNESS
Letter to Bronx Colorcd Voters Leaders Says That These Things
 Would Influence Him.

New York, Aug. 20. - In filling governmental positions, John W. Davis, as president, would consider only the ability of the applicant and his fitness for the position which he wishes to occupy" he declared in a letter to Eugene Mcintosh, executive leader of the Bronx colored voters democratic progressive association, made today.
 MT. Mcintosh, in letter, had re- minded Mr. Davis that he had not included the word "color" in phrase of his acceptance speech in which he declared that in making appointments in the event of his election, he would "set up no standard of religious faith or racial origin as q quail fication for any ofrice." The letter continued:
 since the national democratic party in the past has not seemed fo favor presidential appointment to office of colored citizens, may I not ask you directly the question: If be- ing q colored citizen would be a bar to presidential appointments by you if elected president"
 Mr. Davis replied:
 "My acceptance speech meant ex- actly what it said. In making ap- ability of the applicant and his fitness for the position which he wishes to occupy"
