cold wind blew and there was little
or no feeling of spring in the air.
At the First Baptist church at the
morning service, the pastor told the
story of the first Easter in words
especially for the children, following
which was the Lords supper.
The departments of the Sunday
school met in their usual places for
a brief session, after which during
an organ prelude played by Horace
Daggett, the Sunday school came in
professional by classes to their
places which had been allotted them,
with the exception of the men
class which always meets in the body
of the church filled the center pews
to the doors today with its visitors.
The rear gallery was reserved for
friends of the church not members
of the school. The program was OF
very special interest. arranged by

donates Ping-POng
Tables to Boys Club

Last week the Waterville Boys

iasm is being shown. The new
