Easter Sunday Attend
ance Fills Churches
Easter Sunday was observed with
capacity audiences at the various
churches last Sunday. Owing to the
fine weather it was an ideal oppor
tunity for everybody to attend. The
Christian Endeavor society held an
inspiring meeting, combined with a
breakfast, on the top of Gordon
ridge knoll. W. E. Buell principal
of Moro high school, conducted the
devotional hour and told the Easter
story.
The young people after a
hearty breakfast hurried back to
town just in time to attend their
various Sunday school exercises at
10:00.
More than 200 people gathered at
the Presbyterian church
Easter,
morning to listen to the singing and
speaking by the children, which was
thoroly enjoyed by all present An
offering of more than $17 was taken
up for foreign missions. Those who
help^i put on this program deserve
special credit for the success of the
service.
At the Sunday school and
at the morning service the junior
vested choir of nineteen voices sang
special numbers.
At the morning
service Mrs. Roy Kunsman sang
“Open the Gates of the Temple.”
This was so greatly enjoyed that she
was requested to repeat it at the
evening service. The morning mes-
sage of the pastor was “The Risen
Christ.”
The union evening meeting on
Easter Sunday was largely in the
hands of the Presbyterian choir. A-
bout 175 people listened attentively
