The Easter services at St. Paul's church were especially interesting and the church was well filled, both morn- ing and evening.

The choir rendered the an- them, Christ Our Passover, in a most artistic manner. The entire service was sung with fine precision. At the evening service the anthem was'a hymn setting, The Day of Resurrec- tion, sung as a duet by Messrs. Lever and’ Way. The children’s service in the evening was a happy time.

These were respectively a lamb, a basket of fruit, a wreathed cross, & triangle, a key, an Easter lily and palm branches. The explanation of these symbols by the rector, Rev. J. D. Hull, took the place of the sermon. At the offertory Ralf Veit and Rye- burn Lynch brought up the plates and the secretary, Alexander Platt, brought up the Lenten offering for presentation upon the altar. These self-denial Lenten offerings amounted to $40, which offering goes for for- eign missions. The I C.
