OCOSKE STREET CHURCH. At Oconee St. church Rev. H. M. Quil lian preached on the subject of the “Resur rection.” The church was well filled, and for a &msidcrable length of time, he kept the congregation enwrapt in attention by his eloquent language. He stated out by giving a description of the origin of Easter, as follows: Eister Sunday.—From the feast of the Goddess Ostara. or Eastre, the personifica tion of the morning, or the East, and of the opening yt ar. The feast was cele brated by the ancient 8 <xuns in the Spring, and for it. the Fathers of the Church, as they are called, substituted lhe Christian festival. There were disputing* among the people *• to the time to celebrate this fes tival until about B*s A®l). Constantine brought the qucatioD before the Council of Nice when Easter was declared for the whole Church to be always the first Sun day after the full moon, which occurs ou> or next after March list; and if the full moon happen on Sunday, K- ater is to be lhe Sunday following. &> Easter can never come tetoce March *2..d and later than April Jsth. One us the moat characteristic and moat widely diffused Easter ntea is the use of poach (posk) eggs. They are usu ally stained, of vaiioua colors, with dye woods or heiba, and people mutually moke presents of them. The use of eggs al th* season was do doubt originally •I Uibolwal es lhe reviviflcalion of Nature— the springing forth of life in Spring. From the Chrwlian point of view, thia “Frost of Eggs’ is Usually considered as emblematic of lb* Resurrection, and o* future Ufa AT TH* MtaXWSJ The rector, R-» J. C.

Hearing that ne had been sent by the United States Government to in vestigate the work which is being done in the various Experiment Stations South, the reporter of the Chronicle called upon him to gel bis opinion of our Station. "What do you think of our Station 1” “Well, you hive just gotten started, and judging from wbat you have done in *o short a time, I must say that I am highly pleased with the Station. But I under** stand lhe Stale wtabas to remove it from Athena” "Do you think it should be removed f” “By no means. It would be a misfor tune to the State if it is removed, for tl Is no easy matter to start a new Station. Jhe Station here ta a well equipped and you have a good lalmratory and other advan tages not poaaean-d by a uew Station.’’ "Doe* the Batch bill allow any change from the College of Mechanical & Agricul* tural Arts?" “I am not here to answer point* of law, and cannot say what would be dene in case of removal, but I know that the spirit of the Hatch bill was, that these stations should be connected with the Colleges of Mechanical A Agricultural Arts" “Doe* not the Station derive a great deal of benefit from being near this “Certainly. There are many advantage*; such aa librariea, laboratories, profeaaora, etc The expenaro of the Station are not near aa much, and much better work can be done.” "Do you not think the Athena viler a good ooer "I do not mean to say anything about the oflor us any city, aa 1 do not know the satire lot of circumatancae, but 1 will say that Athens has offered wiial can be made a good Station."

It was my good fortune te attend sen vices at Boggs’s church yesterday. The attraction was two fold—first to ride out on a beautiful Spring day and see one of our prettiest little suburban churches and mingle with the clever and hospitable members of the same; and secondly, to hear that venerable and lovely man, Rev. W. R Branham, sr., preach. Mr. Branham is a member of the North Georgia Conference, and baa been preach ing the Gospel for fifty years. He is loved, honored and respected by all who know him. Having preached so long, hia ac* quaintances are numerous and bis admirers equally so He was Presiding Elder for the Athena District several years ago, dus ring which time, he made many friends in Athena. As a natural conseqence, there* fore, he bad a large congregation—a good many from the city having gone out to Jiear him preach. He preached a clear and forcible sermon from Romans xii. chapter, 1 and S verses. The attention from the crowd was remaik ably good, and no doubt good seed were •own, which will bring forth much fruit in years to coma The congregation waa made up of several denomination* By the way, Boggs’s church ta getting to be a strong church, and as Athens moves out in that direction, there is no reason why it should not become an attractive place to people living near IL As you will remember, our clever towns* man Mr. F. Pbinixy united with thia church last year, and bta Influence for good I* uot only fell with that immediate church, but far and near. Mr. and Mrs S M. Hunter and Mr. and Mrs. J. 8. King have also moved their membership to thia church. While the church in Athens is unfortunate tn losing such valuable mem* tiers, thi« church ta extremely fortunate in •ecuring them. The paator, Dr. E. B R «*, te very teste <>ut in hia work, and hwi the admiration and confidence of bto people. Should any of your readers at any time desire to leave their own churches for one •ervice to worship God, it will be pleasure, recreation and privilege all combined, to run out to Boggs's church.
