Tlhose who had this program in ciarge deserve great cred dit, for the way they worked to put this program on. The Baptismal service was a very fine and impressive one.

Then we were able to close the day 'in a most wonderful way with the ‘Cantata, “Morn of Victory” given by !the Choir. The individual parts were ‘well rendered as was the entire LChorus parts. Much credit must be given to Mrs. Wilbur Wood the director and Miss Martha Hutchison the Organist for the success of the Cantata: We are very thankful to those outside of our own church for the help they gave us.

U. B. Cuurch Notes.

The Easter Services were a real Easter victory. Our attendance was our record attendance for over two years. We increased our attendance of last year by eleven. We had 244 which was not our goal by quite a bit. However in a survey after the morning service we discovered just about 40 of our regulars that were detained on account of sickness and other reasons. Then when we consider the pranks of the weather man we believe there were at least 186 faint hearted who would have ventured out had the weather man acted nice. Twelve were baptised, eighteen united with church and 214 partook of the holy communion. : At 12:00 o'clock Mr. Chas. H. Schweitzer, Hudson, Indiana and Miss Rowena P. Mohler Ligonier were joined in holy wedlock at the home of the bride’s parents who reside just north of this city. Rev. F. A. Risley pastor of this church was the officiating clergyman. At the evening service the choir rendered the KEaster Cantata “The

Easter Victory’ 'The cantata was a real gem. It followed the crucifixion story from the cross through the tremendous natural darkness and spiri-

tual gloom to the wondrous light of Easter morning which continues to dispell darkness superstition and personal doubt whereever Jesus is preached. This cantata carried throughout the personal need which breathed our need of th: personal Savior conditioned on our belief and bated our souls in the light c¢f God love when conditions are met. The choir sang this sweet story with telling effect to a church crowded with an appreciative audience. Miss Evelyn Urich presided at the piano and Miss Madelyn Sack of Chicago accompanied thec hoir with the violin and gave two splendid special numbers accompanied by Miss Francis Sack. ~ Tonight official board at 7:30.

Our services during the day were well attended despite the storm and sickness in several of our echurch families. We did net reach our goal at the Bible school but we did fine: The morning preaching service was also well attended for which we were grateful.
