EASTER OBSERVED
BY SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Appropriate Eexerrises Render¬
ed at the Various Churches.
Beatuiful Decorations.
Easter was appropriately observ¬
ed by the Covington Methodist
Sunday school, at 9:45 o’clock on
Sunday morning.
The church interior presented a
striking and beautiful scene, being
decorated with a profusion of cut
flowers, ferns aud Easter lilies that
were artistically arrangeed in vases
and bowls on lace covered stands
and tables.
These decorations, the prettily
dressed children, and the joyous
music, all combined to make the
services beautiful and impressive.
T he program was one of the best
ever attempted by the school, and
the untiring efforts of the ladies
in charge and the interest mani¬
fested by the children made the
exercises unusually beautiful.
The attpiidance was large and
the singmg'vvas an especially good
feature. Mr. Lester, the superin¬
tendent, dii connection with his
chalk talk, spoke of the flourish¬
ing condition of the school in par¬
ticular aud earnestly urged that
the congregation make every effort
to attain even greater things dur¬
ing the remainder of the year.
The order of the exercises was
as follows:
Song, “Look Ye Saints The
Light Is Glorious.”—Choir.
Prayer.
Scripture Lesson: Luke 7, 1-17;
conducted by Supt. R. P. Lester.

A special design symbolical of

was at the back of t he pulpit. Ju-t

‘He Has Risen,” in large green
letters. High above this was tin 1

chosen d >wer of the day, were;
used about the pulpit and chancel,
and lovely palms aud ferns were
introduced, blending their softeu
ing green with the white to com
the color echeme of white

The dainty white dresses of the

took part in the program was a
