a little later gathering than usual, but
was a larger one than (or a number
of years. There were many visitors
from SL Joe, and other cities, and ev
eryone expressed their satisfaction
with the day's services. The altar dec
oration was never more beautiful. The
choir did Its best: and the pastor has
never preached a more beautiful ser
mon. Everything was In just the prop
er tune for an Ideal Easter service.
The congregation not only looked
splendid, but seemed to feel the same.
The captains dfd exceedingly well In
gathering up their promises. All were

Howard Harris, $32.20; Geo. Shannon,
$10.00. The penny collection for the

not yet In, so that their amounts may
be larger by the next week. Thus far
they have done well Indeed.
