CANCER CURED AND A LIFE SAVED By the Persistent Use of . Ayer's Sarsaparilla "I was troubled for years with a sore on my knee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring me that nothing could be done to save my life. As a last resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak ing a number of bottles, the sore began to disappear and my general health improve, I persisted in this treatment, until the sore was en tirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as x tonic and blood-purifier, and, in deed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it." Mrs. S. A. Fields, Bloomfield, Ta. AY The Only World's Fair Sarsaparilla, Ayer's Pills Regulate the Liver. Kaater Services. Ea6ter services were held yesterday in the Methodist, Congregational and Epis copal churcheB. At the two former they were very elaborate. AT THE M. E. CHURCH. , The services at the Methodist church were held in the morning, the children participating in them, in lieu of the usual Sunday school exercises. The altar was decorated with potted plants, bouquets and vines of Oregon grape. The service was chiefly singing, the choir be in assisted by a number of the larger Sunday school pupils. The opening number was a chant of the Lord's prayer, followed by the apostles' creed, which were very beautiful and impressive. A song by the choir and congregation followed, ,-and responsive reading, led by Mr. Vfa. Micuell. After prayer and a beautiful anthem by the choir, there was singing by Miss Deal ing's and Mr. Hill's classes. Then a recitation, "The Resurrection," by Jes sie Ilarsell, BennieStevens and Eugene Davis. The "prusadera' Hymn" was then sweetly sung by Miss Dealing's class. Next came a recitation, "The Hope of Israel," by Wilha-'Clark and Pearl Grimes. The missionary offering for the year was then taken, followed by singing by the infant class. The pastor then delivered a short address on "Mis stone." Singing by the congregation followed, "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," and a benediction closedthe interesting exercises. Mrs.Smith French, superintendent of the Sunday echool, conducted the progctfm AT THE CONGREGATIONAL. Easter services in the Congregational church took place in the evening. The services were combined with a quarterly review. The committee on program and the drillmaeters were Mrs. S. J. Brooks, Mrs. B.'S. Huntington andE. H. Mer rill. Great pains most batfe been taken, as the exercises were claimed by those in attendance to have been a little the best ever given in The Dalles. The exercises were opened with a song by the school. The three essays by Lena Thompson of Mrs. Briggs' class, Bessie Snipes of Mrs. Brooks' class, and Mand Michell of Mrs. Curtis' class were very finely written and- contained many in teresting thoughts. The enbject of Miss Lena's was "The Forerunner of Christ." Miss Bessie's was "The Ministry of John the. Baptist," and. Miss Maud's was "The Power of Jesus." The song "We are Little Friends of Jesus" was very sweetly sung by the claBses.of Mrs. Gibons and Mrs. Huntington. Mrs. Condon's mlant-class also sung a very pretty song and refrain, entitled "Step ping in the Light." An Easter carol was song by Mrs. Briggs' class, followed by a carol. "The Lilies," by three of - Mrs. Curtis' class. Mrs. Condon's class gave an exercise of questions and ans wers, which proved very interesting, entitled, "The Good Samaritan." Miss Hill's class gave a song and exercise in connection with the lesson, entitled "Faith and Courage." Mrs. Brooks' class, which is the largest in the echool, EfR'S gave a very elaborate and difficult exer cise entitled "Sacred Pictures, consist ing of singing and recitations. Mrs. Gib ons' class ol little ones repeated the Lord's prayer very sweetly, and the benedic tion followed. . Deserving of special mention was Mrs. Brooks' class and the trio "The Lilies." y at st. paul's pfiuRH. Yesterday's services at St. Paul's Episcopal church were of the most in teresting kind. lfhe decorations were up to the nsual high standard cf other years, and the attendance daring the day was so great that some were turned away for lack of room. The singing was good and especially so were the solos-in the Easter anthem "He is Risen," being by Mrs. Price and Mrs. Varney. An earlv communion was celebrated at 8 o'clock, and at 11 was the regular morn' ing service, followed by communion par taken by those unable to attend the service. Mr. Goss gave a most interest ing and instructing sermon from St. John the xxtb chapter, '-'For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead." He spoke of what a great trial of faith it was to see their Savior hanging on the cross ; the most ignoble death that could be gien, and that their faith was truly a gift of God to stand such a severe test. An other trial that day also, was to see him resting in the tomb, apparently dead as were all otherj who had left this world "But the first day of the week behold all was changed by his glorious arising. Oh I how wonderful the joy of the dieci- ples when Christ manifested himseltj' Easter day made plain the story of Good Friday. The power of the cross comes from the power of the resurrection. Mr, Goss then referred, to baptism as repre senting death, while the holy commu nion represented 'the resurrection "With great joy we blees God for this day, that through the resurrection of Christ we may be resurrected to eternal life," and then closed one of the most beautiful sermons ver beard in St Paul's. At 4 o'clock the rite of Baptism was administered, followed by a chil dren's choral servicedwhich, with the evening ceremonies, comprised the cele bration of the day at St. Paul's church Blakeley & Houghton desire is to pub lish the following extract from a letter of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno county, Calif., as they handle the rem edy referred to and want their customers to know what a splended medicine it is: "It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy I was relieved of a very bad cold. My head was completely stopped up and I could not sleep at night. lean recommend this remedy." A cold nearly always starts in the head and afterwards extends to the thgoat and lungs. By using this .remedy freely as soon cs the cold has been contracted it will cure the cold at once and prevent it from extend ing to the lungs. Two Llvel Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction (Jity 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approach ing Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thank ful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Couehs and colds.
