MAIN STREET HOLDS
FLOWER SUNDAY
Two very effective and colorful
services were held by the Woman’s
Association in Main Street Church
on Sunday last. The front of the
auditorium was decked with a pro
fusion of blossoms and canaries sang
in every window. In the morning
the boys and girls of the congrega
tion formed a processional to the
pulpit where they presented their
flowers as they passed. The flowers
were used to cover a cross of green
which stood on the platform. Instead
of a sermon the minister read the
story of “The Selfish Giant” who
found the Glory of Spring in his gar
den only when he shared it with
others. A children’s quintette and
a baptism were pleasing features of
the morning. In the evening an in
spiring service of familiar songs
formed a prelude to an interesting
message from the pastor. The flow
ery cross wag very effectively illum
inated and the time-honored hymn
“The Old Rugged Cross” was well
rendered by Jim Francis. A lady’s
quartette and the Sunday .School or
chestra assisted in the musical pro
gram. The thought and care on the
part of the ladies in the conducting
of such^unique and attractive ser
vices were well rewarded by splendid
congregations.
About fifty relatives and friends
of Mrs. R. Skinner celebrated her
birthday Tuesday when they enjoyed
a picnic in the grove on Mr. Skin
ner’s gravel farm. All reported a
very jolly outing.
