The Holy Week Communion was the largest in the history of the congregation. The Easter Breakfast, which was served by several of the men Immediately .after the Sunrise service on . Easter morning, was a complete success. . Many who seldoll) to-uch a bite for breakfast enjoyed · a real "feed." The bacon was crisp, the eggs were fried army style and the hot rolls and coffee found a ready acceptanca. There was just enough left to feed the kitchen force. The Sunday school made an offering of $48.01 when they met at 10 :30 Easter morning. Many friends of the congregation enjoyed the services. The choir of ftfteen voices put on a splendid musical program Easter night. Miss Hilda Kloster gave a readIng, "'An Hour Before Sunset." which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Hortense Lechler's singing was appreciated by the large audience.
