Service Withdrawn Service will not be held in Trinity Church on Sunday morn- ing. It has been withdrawn so that members may attend the service in St, James' Church, Middleton, on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, when His Grace, Archbishop Seager will be pree- ent to administer the rite of Con- firmation. Services Well Attended Easter se,vices were well at- tended in the village and tradit- ional music proclaimed the joy of triumph over death of the Risen Christ. In St. Andrew's United Church the choir rendered nicely two Easter anthems. The Rev. F. G. Stotesbury based his impressive sermon on two texts using "And they crucified' Him," and "Now is Christ ,raised from the dead," In comparing the gloom and despair caused by the first text, and the note of triumph following the news that Christ had been raised (from the dead. Man had com- mitted the greatest sin of the ages by crucifying Jesus Christ but God did better in turning it into a victory. Where sin doth abound, grace doth abound all the more. At the service in Trinity Church the Rector, Rev. Laverne Morgan, took for the text of his inspiring sermon, Romans 14, part of verse 9: "Christ both died, and rose." In speaking of the skepticism of some, he went on to prove from Holy Scripture that without a shadow of a doubt Christ died and rose again. Then he stated that our philosophy of religion was that as Christ died and rose again Iso will His people die and rise with Him. Easter is our inspira- tion. This gift of immortality is the greatest to mortal dying meet and softens the pangs of sorrow of those bereaved. Easter is also our poetry—the beautiful spring- every flower that opens, every leaf, all the movements of nature seem to say to us "He is risen again," Let friend and foe weigh the evidence, "Jesus Christ is ria - len today." If Christ lives we shall live also. Mrs. Maynard Corrie' sang "The Lord's Prayer" by Molotte, dur- ing the offertory.
