lSaster In Our Churches,
Of all events In the church calendar year
none are observed with more christian piety
and royerance tbau are Christmas and
Easter. Christmas brings to mind with
reverential force the humble birth of our
Savior In a manger in the city of Hetblebem,
while about Easter day clusters in scintll
ations of christian truth and glory the
crucifixion and resurrection of the Son of
God wbo died for the redemption of man
kind from the wickedness and folly of the
world.
Thirty-six persons wore received into
membership of Trinity Lutheran church on
Easter Sunday twenty-six by tbe right of
confirmation and ten by transfer. The
services both morning and evening were
appropriately consistent with the crucifix
Ion of tbe Son of Uod who died "for the
salvation of souls." Tho vicinity of the
altar was decorated with flowers, bright
emblems of a joyous springtime, and tbe
auditorium was crowded to Its fullest capa
city. A special collection of Easter offer
ings for .lfuhlenberg College, Ailentown,
was llltea at bom services, ncv. J. u.
Kuder, assisted by Chas. D. Clauss, a
theological student, oiuciatea at all services.
The interior of Zlon's Reformed church.
on Lehigh street, was decorated with beau
tiful floral emblems, on Easter Sunday, at
which time there were received into full
membership of the church forty-one cate
chumens who had been under the instruct
ion of Rev. J. Alvln Reber, during several
months past. The morning and evening
services were largely attended. Almost, the
entire congregation partook of the Lord's
Supper.
At the Methodist Episcopal and Catholic
churches, special appropriate sermons, con
sistent with we life, times ana death of
nim wbo "died to save us sinners," were
preached to large audiences.
The interior of the Presbyterian church
presented a fresh and happy appearance to
the audience who assembled to hear God's
IFord preached on Easterday by Rev. Allen,
the pastor. The air was laden with the
fragrance of the beautiful flowers that dec
orated the altar and filled the room and
hearts of those present with tbe benign
Influence of the Allwiso Ruler. The ser
mon on the occasion was forcible and elo
quent and much appreciated by all present.
The Evangelical Sunday School last Sun
day evening, observed Easter in a very ap
propriate manner by the rendition oi an
Easter Service by tbe school entitled,
'Emblems of Easter." The service con
sisted of appropriate EasUr son;s. recita
tions and responsive readings by the pastor,
superintendent, teachers and school, an
tending to draw the thoughts to the res
urrection of tbe Blessed Redeemer. Tbe
little folks especially acquitted themselves
nobly, and everybody seemed to have
shared the joy which naturally flows from
and is the result of faith In tbe Easter Vic
tory by the mighty conqueror of death
and the grave.

From Seventy Years Experience.
For the Caiibon Advocate: Nearly
seventy years experience In life has taught
me tbat the saloon Is a nuisance, that' its
presence on the prominent corners of our
streets and Us easiness of access are a temp
tation and a seduction to youth and a men
ace to society, public peace and the state.
iquor is poison ana sbouia be sola only
like other poisons, for Instance, opium,
itrychmne. arsenic, etc. I do not think
tbat I have a right to say that you shall not
drink it if you choose, but I have a right to
to say that you shall not drink it to the im
poverisbment of your family, the disgrace
of your children, tbe sorrow of your friends,
tbe Injury of your neighbors, tbe outrage
upon society ana the encouragement ot
vice, gross Immorality and crime and con
sequent Increase in the co3t of Government
The records of the county will generally
show that about two-tblrds of the number
of crimes committed aro directly traceable
to the saloon and saloon influences. I in
tend to vote for the amendment, and hope
others will do the same enough to secure
majority. It Is tbe first time in many
years we haye had a chance to vote for
moral reform in relation to Uauor. I be
Ileye that theft, arson, rapine, murder and
prostitution are In a larce part the out
growth ot tbe saloon influence. I do not
know tbat the amendment will carry, but
every man tbat has a wife he loves, a child
tbat be. treasurers, a father tbat be respects
or a mother tbat he revers, or who believes
n virtue rather than vice, In serving Uod
ratber than the evil one. should vote for It
and pursuade others to do likewise.
