Warm weather will be on apace and a good utid sum will be sent away for ice. Why H keep this money at home? Would not i ice factory pay?

In the Methodist aud Trinity lurches devoted hands had decorated their aces of worship with garlauds of evergreens id massesol beautiful flowers.

The Instrument Is a two manual, and presents a very handsome and Imposing appearance in the church. For power, sweetness of toue aud perfection of action it Is not to be excelled. The orcan will be a great aid to congregational singing and an Inspiration to those who worship there. Despite the rain which came down In torrents, there was a large and appreciative audience assembled to listen to the feast of music. The recital was opened by the congregfltion singing the Long Metre Doxology, in which the superb power of the organ was shown to great advantage, after which Mr. Beatty played the great Inauguration March by Clark. The other numbers embraced the following: ? Coronation March?Meyerbeer. Spring song. Consolation?Mendelssohn. Improvisltation on popular melodies. Communion in E. Minor?Batiste.
