CAVEN REOPENS Beautiful Spring weather, large and appreciative audiences and a preacher of outstanding ability and fame combined to make the re-opep- ing services of Caven Presbyterian Church on Easter Sunday a marked success. The main auditorium had been closed for several weeks while alterations were being affected and the walls and ceiling redecorated. The gallery in the real* has been closed off by a neatly panelled par­ tition and the ceiling lowered by the use of an insulating board in pan­ elled effect. This part of the work was done by Mr. Clarence Heywood and -the painting by Mr. Everett Johnston. The color scheme is most pleasing, the walls 'being a soft peach and the ceiling a pearl. The motto over the arch of the choir loft “Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness” has been most artisically lettered in Old English by Mr. Wm. Lodder. On Sunday congregation and workmen were receiving many complimentary remarks on the beau­ ty and pleasing effect of the whole accomplishment, The congregations were also- favored with two splendid addresses by the guest speaker Rev. Dr. Winchester, Minister-Emeritis of Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, Dr. Winchester, although past' his three-score and ten years retains a clearness of thought, a forcefulness of delivery and a depth of know­ ledge of the Scripture seldom exem­ plified by the younger generation of preachers. Both sermons were worthy of detailed reporting but that at the evening service .based on the theme “The Grief of a God of love” was both profound and of electrical effect, holding the large congrega­ tion tense throughout. Dr. Winches­ ter remained as the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Gordon, at the manse during the first half of the week and spoke in the church each night on some selected aspect of prophecy. His addresses on Tuesday night on “The Day of the Lord” and on Wed­ nesday night on “The Millenium and After” were intensely interesting. The Doctor is a recognized authority on the Second Coming of Our Lord and his exposition of this most dif­ ficult and little known subject of Scripture study is appreciated thro’- out the whole of the American con­ tinent. At the Sunday services the min­ ister of the congregation, Rev. S. Moore Gordon, B.D. assisted having recovered fro.m an illness of some six weeks. Splendid music was render­ ed by ho choir under the direction of the organist, Mrs. J. G. Cochrane. In the. morning Mr. Raymond Prydo took the solo parte and in the even­ ing Mr. Grafton Cochrane. Beautiful Spring flowers with Easter Lilies and ferns decorated the pulpit plat­ form, Read E. R. Hopper’s full page advt. of lite furniture sale on an­ other page. WANDERED AWAY Little Miss Helen Street, aged two years, who is visiting at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Welling­ ton Johns, wondered away on Mon­ day afternoon and wa® picked.' up near Caven. church by Miss Ruth Collingwood.

The well was' cap­ ped when the company abandoned the property a number -of years ago but since that time some debris has been dumped into the well and an effort is being made to clear it a- way, the obstruction occurring at about 150 feet down. EASTER SERVICES ■Special Easter services were ob­ served in the various churches on Sunday. Floral decorations adorn­ ed the pulpits. Special Easter mes­ sages were delivered by the various ministers and Easter music was pro­ vided by the choirs. Trivitt Memorial Church At the Trivitt Memorial Church Holy Communion was observed at 8 o’clock in the morning at which there was a splendid attendance. It was observed again at 11 a.m. The morning service was especially well attended. The choir at the mornin'g service sang “King of Kings” with Miss Jessie Jennings taking the solo part. In the evening they sang “Angels of Easter” with Mrs. N. J. Dore, Mrs. Lloyd Lindenifield and Mr. Bryne Cousins taking solo parts. The messages by the Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt were appropriate for Easter. Four Easter Lilies adorn­ ed the altar, placed there in mem­ ory of. Mr, and Mrs. D. Woods, Mrs, H. S. Walter and Dr. H. K. Hyndman Main Street United Church The morning service at Main fit- church <on Easter Sunday was es­ pecially well attended and there was a good turnout in the evening. The pastor, Rev. A. E. Elliott delivered two interesting Easter messages His theme was two portraits of the Disciples. The first portrayed the disciples during the ministry of Jesus and at the time of His betray­ al and crucifixion. The second por­ trayed the disciples after the resur­ rection. The first showed the dis-' ciples as intolerant, bigoted and slow to learn demanding great patience of the Master in teaching them. They were weak and coward­ ly as the shadow of the 'Cross loom­ ed. At the time of the crucifixion they were stricken and overwhelm­ ed by the sense of the great tragedy. But a wonderful transformation took place following the resurrec­ tion. .They became sane men of confidence who were filled with the sense of the reality of things. They were heroic and brave as evidenced by the boldness of Peter and John. Their lives were noble and good and radiated the love of Jesus. The great transformation in their lives resulted from the great transcendant event which we celebrate on Easter Sunday, a risen Saviour. The choir under the leadership of Miss Huston provided special music for the ser­ vices. In the afternoon there was a splendid attendance at the Sunday school. A solo was sung by Mr. F. Wildfong and the superintendent, Mr. B. W- F. Beavers gave a short address on the meaning of Easter.

This was one of the best attended ser­ vices of its kind fbr many years. Two anthems were furnished by the choir “0 Death Where is Thy -Sting” Mrs. Williams taking the solo part; and “Christ is Risen.” A most delightful Easter cantata, “The Thorn-Crowned King” by Fred B. Holton, was rendered by the choir under the direction of Mr. W. R, Goulding at the evening service. The special parts were taken as follows: solo, ‘He Chose the Cross of Shame’, by Miss Reta Rowe; men’s chorus, “There was no Other Way”; chorus “Betrayed” with Walter Cutbush taking the solo part. Solo, “The Thorn-Crowned King” by Miss Ella ,Link; chorus “Let Him be Crucified” with Clarence Down taking the solo part; octette, “Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed” by Misses V.

In one of the towns visited it was little wonder that the curiosity of some of the cit­ izens was aroused to see a stranger in the middle of the night climbing a hydro pole. The visitors, however wanted to ascertain the height of the stardard as there is some dis­ cussion around town as to just what is the correct height for the new Lights.
