“Opened Eyes fon Easter Morning.”
He graphically described the lonely
journey of the two disciples home
to Emmaus, having left behind them
a newly made grave, only to discov
er that the Lord whom they had lost
when they lost their friend, was
near at hand. He touched also up
on the new message as the Inspirer

it, and the joy in the life Of the dis
ciple when ‘his eyes have been open
ed. The choir rendered a much ap

xion”” Was rendered the pastor in a
brief address stressed the three-fold
experience in the life of tlie Chist-
tians paralelling the Friday, Satur
day and Sunday experiences of the
Eastertide. “I am Crucified with
Christ,” “I no Longer Live,” “Christ
Livoth in me,
were followed by the second part of
the cantata
Mrs. Leslie Hearts, of Simcoe, took
the soprano solos, other solo parts
being taken by Miss H61en Dignan,
Frank Wildfong and Mr. Clysdale.
The rendering revealed a good deal
of work. The duets and choruses
showed a splendid blend in all the
parts. Miss Evelyn Huston reflect
ed credit on herself as pianist, giv
ing splendid assistance to the sing
ers’. The Sunday School was well
patronized and the superintendent,
Mr, B. W. F. Beavers took the op
portunity to welcome all the old
Main Street boys and girls who were
