j EASTER SERVICES IN
VALUE/, CHI HCHES
] The Easter services in both the
Episcopal and the Congregational
j churches attracted large congrega
tions both in the morning at vespers
and iu the evening. The double quar
tette from both churches under the
direction of Mr. C. A. Eby, gave a fine
musical setting to the vesper service,
and furnished a special program at
| the Congregational church in the
I evening. Miss Pearl Miller sang, “I
Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,” and
1 Mr. Eby gave as an offertory solo Par
ker’s “Jerusalem.” The choir acquit
ted themselves splendidly in their
rendition of "Then Shall the King
Say," by Allen, and the "Radiant
Morn,” by Woodward. The closing
solo, with obligato, by Mr. Eby, was
especially effective. Mrs. J. C. Mar
tin, who was called upon to preside at
the organ at a moment’s notice, con
tributed very largely to the success of
the musical program. Rev. G. J. /inn
of the Episcopal church read the
Scripture lesson and the responsive
eadings. The services from begin
ning to end were an expression of
Christian fellowship and Easter glad
. ness.
