EASTER SERVICES

Easter services were appropriately
carried out in the various churches
Of the twin cities, Sunday. Large
congregations were present at the
morning services in the different
churches, and at several churches
new members were taken in, and
Easter messages and special music
featured the services. The weather
was ideal.
The main auditorium at the Trim
ity Methodist church was crowded,
additional chairs being necessary to
accommodate those in attendance.
The exercises were carried out as per
program sent out by the conference
of the church The special music
included anthems by both the senior
and junior choirs. The auditorium
had recently been redecorated,
which added to the effectiveness of
the services.
Sunrise services were held at the
Bristol Presbyterian, McKendree,
and the Methodist church at Dea-
vertown, also at Malta Methodist,
which was followed by breakfast at
the church. At Stockport carols
were sung about the streets, and a
sunrise breakfast served at the
school building.
The Good Friday exercises held
Friday afternoon in the Twin City
opera house were splendidly attend
ed. The cantata, "The Seven Last
Words" was rendered according to
announcement in last weeks paper,
under the direction of Mrs. King
Betz, and Mrs. George w Lowell, or
ganist. An added feature which was
planned and carried out by Mana ger
and Mrs. Eveland, led much to it's
it's impressiveness. The hell was
darkened and to the strains of 'tThe
Holy City" by transcription, over
the loud speaking arrangement, the
curtains on the stage opened, re-
vealing large brilliantly lighted
cross.
Hi-Y boys from M. & NJ. were ush-
ers and also took up the offering.
Some might think this comment
out of place here, but we want to
state it anyway that finer looking,
better young men are not to be found
any place than these boys, who in
addition to ushering and taking up
the collection, assisted people enter
ing and leaving the hall.
