Mothers Day was fittingly OF
served in Trinity M. f. church o
Sunday Baskets of lovely white Ii
lacs filled the church with thei
delicate fragrance. Flowers wer
provided for all who wished to com
memOrate the occasion by wearing
the emblems of love and purity. o.
looking over the congregation on
was impressed by the large attend
ance. Many were there wearing til,
simple white flower with a tender
reverence and precious memories o
the dear mothers who have passed
on. Still others wearing the pinE
carnations with a joyful thankful
ness. To the writer a beautifully
touching sight was the young moth
ers with their babies in arms OF
leading the little ones by their
elinging hands to the Lords house
on this day. For of such is the
kingdom of heaven" Selections ap-
propriate to the day were sung by
the choir and the sermon by the
pastor, Rev. N. c. Benson, was one
that will linger long in the hearts
of his hearers The sermon next

what your minister has in store for
you.

The wisteria blossoms have never
been lovelier than they are this
spring. Noticeably attractive spots
in town are the arbOr on John Rus
sells lawn and the hedge on the
east side of B. F. Burton's driveway.
These exquisitely dainty blossoms
are now perfect riot of bloom and
beautiful to behold.
A few weeks ago DR.. Bradley
Grier's lawn was one of the beauty
spots here. Judas trees, azaleas,
towering peach, forsythia, Japanese
cherry jasmine, lilacs, hyacinths
and a gorgeous bed and red and
yellow tulips were a perfect riot of
color, making an Eden of beauty.
William Leach, one of our artists,
