In. 1921, the Rev. A. W. Luce Of
the First Christian church (now re-
tired) was walking through the Gar
den Of the Gods, his Bible in hand,
trying to get an inspiration for his
Easter sermon. Opening his Bible
to the Book Of John he read: Nov
in the place where he was crucified
there was a garden, there they laid
Jesus" While reading this his eyes
fell on three gigantic shafts Of rock
which closely resembled cathedral
spires.
The inspiration came to him
that here in the beauty, splen-
dor and solitude Of the Garden
of the Gods was the ideal place
to gather for worship and to OBJ
serve the day in which Christ
was resurrected.
This inspiration became q reality
and the first Easter service was
held with some 700 worshipers at.
tending. The audience has been
growing ever since. now estimated
to be more than 10000. In addition
to the thousands who receive in
spiration from actually attending
the service. countless others are
able to benefit spiritually from this
Easter message by dialing the serv-
ice on their radio. The noted DR.. S.
ParkeS Cadman once stated that
unless person were to so to Jeru-
salem where the first Easter actu.
ally occurred. he could find no more
appropriate setting than the Garden
Of the Gods. with thousands of peo-
pie massed together in the natural
valley surrounded by towering peaks.
The Garden Of the Gods was a
part Of public domain until 1879
when it was bought by Charles E.
Perkins. an eastern railroad tycoon.
He intended to build home there.

decided that no ork of man should

CLIP covers, whether you are plan

ing scheme or using them to cover
new furniture pieces done in mus
lin, are an important part Of dra-
matte decorating scheme, so it's a
good idea to create styles that will
enhance their surroundings.
Today, many newcomers to the
homemaking ranks prefer to buy
chairs, sofas or chaise lounge with
only the muslin cover so they can
use their own choice of style and
fabric for either a traditional slip
cover or a permanent slip cover to
resemble the upholstery.
Even though you may be new to
sewing, don't be afraid to tackle
slip cover project. The size need not
overwhelm you as there is not much
difficult sewing essential. And. if you
want professional advice, there's
local sewing center which can give
you latest decorating tricks and
shortcuts to making them.
Plan Style, Select

First decision in a sewing project
of this type will be to decide the

to ask for in a fabric since patterns

Here, in a setting of immeasur-'
able beauty, amidst the towering
limestone shafts of the cathedral
spires looming to fantastic angles of
more than 300 feet, with the bril-
liant red of the rocks bathed in a
golden light Of an early Colorado
sunrise, and with majestic, snow
capped Pixies Peak serving as back
drop, the Rev. Thomas Dick Jr. will
give the annual Easter message.
"Tbe constellation of ideas gathered

will be featured. The choir. under
direction of Frank Giles, is nation

Traditional with the service for
many years is tenor Bernard Ves-
sey. who has been singing on the
Easter sunrise services for more
than a quarter century. Vessey
came to Colorado Springs from the

sings every year. is a favorite Of
thousands of music lovers. Mrs.

The Garden of the Gods, spa
ciOus garden of overturned lime
stone rocks, was revered by Ute
Indians as holy place for their
god Manitou long before the
coming of the white man. The
big rocks, according to the In
dians, are barbaric hosts of gi-
ants which in prehistoric times
threatened their domain. The
UteS prayed to their god Mani
tOu who lived at the top of Holy
Mount pixies Peak and who
answered their prayers by caus-
ing the giants and the mon
strOuS beasts accompanying
them to turn to stone.
Geologically, the explanation is
much simpler. In prehistoric times,
the same earth-shaking movements
that formed the Rocky mountains

The classic slip cover with box

However, if your sofa or chair has a

try straight flounce with practical

with inverted corner pleats. For in

If your slip cover job is limited

covers that cover back and arms of
chairs, you'll follow the general pro-
cedure used in slip cover making.
You will. however. have to give addi-
tional thought to fabric selection for
