in keeping with the day
and special choirs increased for
the occasion, furnished exquisite
and elaborate music. The various
flower -rardens and even tlie
fields and forests had almost been
laid bare to deck the altars, and
the beautiful array of the season
was shown to perfection in the
blending of colors and their fragrance.

beautiful y decorated and the,
tin.vers looked as natural as if they
had grown there* Services were
held at this church bv the pastor
