A good crowd was...present` and enjoyed the numbers. Mr. F. S. Savauge acted as chair- man for the evening, Choruses were given by the whole school and pan- tomimes, quartettes, duets, solos and recitations were pint on' by the classes A pretty drill and tableaux and a com- ic orchestra wera,,also features of the programme. Miss O. Cook in iter first appear- ance before an audience in town, de- lighted .everyone.with readings and. -simpersonations. It is to be hoped Miss Cook will often be in Seaforth as she is a talented. artist, , . ' The officials of the Methodist Sun day school are to be congratulated on -tire success of their concert and the. pupils praised for their excellent EASTER SERVICES, The day was unusually cold for Easter, yet very bright services ' ho as. them marked day. Y In St. T church, Seaforth,, Moly Communion was celebrated at 8;30 and 11 p.m. At the eleven o'clock service•a large con- gregation was present. The music by the choir was0 f a veryhigh order, ,. Miss Margaret a ret Ed a acting as leader,der owing to her mother's illness. The music rendered on the organ by Mr. George Clark, added much tb the beauty of the service. The offertory for the day amounted to $170. Rev, T. Id, .Brown, the rector, at the'morning service preached a -forceful sermon irn "Daybreak," taking as his text St. Matt, 28, 1, "As it began to dawn." He spoke as follows: So ended the awful night of the passion and death of Jesus; so dawn- ed the fairest morning in the world's history, the Meriting of the Resur- rection. The Sun had hidden its face for the very shame, when Christ died upon the Cross, now burst forth in transfigured,splendor on a new world. I't began -to dawn. Literally the words mean to mark simply a point of time, but even a point of time is significant. It spegaks to ws of the unwearyng activity of'the His work of redemp- tion of'Jesus: - w p tion was finished when He died on the Cross. Ile fell asleep and rested for awhile from His labors. He was up with the dawn ons Easter morning, that He might begin His new work for a ransomed world—As it began to dawn. But these words also speak to us of the thoughtfulness of Our Lord. He knew how the hearts of those. who. loved Ilim were breaking; the soul can only hold out for a certain time. "If I do not hear better.liews soon, my hope will be gone." Even the blessed. Mother with all her faith and confidence in Him, must have been at the breaking down point. But the blessed Lord will not keep her wait- ing a moment longer than is neces- sary.�On the third day as soon as it really could be called day—as it began to dawn—He rose. But these words have a mystical as well as literal meaning. Did you ever think what it meant to the blessed Mother and to His disciples, and everything it meant to us.. It meant to us the triumph of joy over sorrow. Night is' the symbol of sorrow and doubt, but joy is the triumph of Eas- ter. The foes: of Christ congratulated themselves on Good Friday. Had his feet i ed his ands and# theynot nailed h to he Cross.and 'had insulted Him in His dying agonies? "We can go home now," they may have cried, "He, is dy- ing, almost dead, just as we would have it; dying in anguish and dis- grace; His fiends have forsakeiyHim and. His claim is wrecked forever. We have crushed this heresy into frag- ments aiid scattered it to the winds." Well, their triumph did not last long. On the third day, as it began to dawn, with a burst of unimaginable glory framed in the light of the ris- ing Sun, Christ rose from the dead. It is all over. Death's mightiest powers have done their worst and Christ stands triumphant over the. grave— as it began to dawn, And not only do these words sym- bolize joy over sorrow, but good over evil. The greatest proof that was ever given that the world is ruled by a righteous ` God was given when /esus, the Sinless One, was rescued by the Resurrection from the clutches of Death. And we also need this as- surance. We know as we.stand before the empty tomb that right is might; that to be on God's is to be on the winning side; and that evil in the long run can secure nothing but its own destruction. Nothing can ever happen worse than what happened on Good Friday, and ever after Good Friday it began to dawn, The Resur- rection o'f Jesus is the living proof that somehow and someday good shall triumph over evil. And so to- day we keep the feast, the Victory over death, and so we banish the fear of death, both for ourselves and those we love: Christ has given us a word that dries our tears and robs death of its terrors and that word is "Morn- ing." He has shown us that the Valley of Shadow opens towards the Sun- rise. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Easter..,services were held in the Presbyterian church on Sunday when appropriate sermons were preached by the pastor, Rev. F. H. Larkin, D.D., and special music provided by the choir, assisted by Mrs.. J. G, Mullen and . Mr, Dalton Reid. A ladies' sextette and solo by Mrst;Mul- len were much appreciated. Mr. Harry Livens acted as -organist in an efficient manner. Miss Norma ' Jeffrey's ,class took the programme in the Presbyterian, Sunday school last Sunday, which was of a missionary nature andd, was very interesting. It .consisted of a chorus by the class, a reading by Miss Margaret Armstrong and a trio by Miss Mary Hays, Miss Mabel Turn- bull and Miss Margaret Armstrong.

To the Editor of the News: - In reporting my observations on the schools of Iowa, the statement was 'credited to me by the Goderich Signal that 87c an acre was a mod- erate tax to pay for the advantages received, but my explanation of •at- tending circumstances was omitted. With the. exception of an annual grant Of $500 to Consolidated Schools, all school moneys in Iowa are raised by dir,ect taxation; there is no furth- er assistance from the state. In Huron county the average nor- mal tax, without including debenture debt, for public school purposes, is about 28c an acre; if you add to this all the money raised by the county for school purposes and the sums paid over by the Provincial Government to our rural sections as grants, (which; is really the people's money) you would have an average cost of over 40c an acre without providing for High School education. The 87c aur acre,; and in many schools the tax' is not over 60c an acre, includes build- ing cost and a full High School course with all the extras that go with. a Consolidated School. Debentures run for 20 yeafs 'and none of the schools are yet free from building costs. A questionnaire was sent last year to 1,400 ratepayers of fifty-six consoli- dated districts in Iowa who were most disadvantageously situated, that is 4 or more miles frons the school, an& 88 p.c. of them answered that they would not go .hack to the one- room. school. If the cost were op- pressive, there could not be such gen- eral approval JOHN M. FIELD.

Mason.—A bright, promis- ing young life was brought to its earthly close on Sabbath mdrning last when Ella M. asoon daughterof Mr, and Mrs, William Mason, Hut-. lett township, passed away at the age of fourteen years, after an illness ex- tending over five months. In the early part of the winter she contracted scarlet fever, and this was followed by a•heart ailment, which retained and increased its hold an a system already seriously undermined. About two weeks ago pneumonia set in, and; then came the final surrender. IThe funeral service held on Tuesday afternoon called forth a widespread expression' of sympathy to the bereaved family -in the large number present, despite the disagreeable weather, and in the beau- tiful floral tributes, amongst which was one from Ella's school compan- ions. Dr. Larkin,/ officiated at the funeral, and the suggestion of so much that was beautiful and truly Christian in the life and, personality of, the departed child, especially during the months of her illness, did much to lighten the darkness, and to create in the'hearts that were dearest the gar- ment of praisewith the spirit of the In heaviness.fewyears Ella syasthat Mason:sent in this s world she gather- ed about herself tender affections,' warm friendships and sacred mem- ories ,that emories,that will endure. The place of burial was at the Burns' church ceme- tery. She is survived by her parents and three sisters. MANLEY.
