In many churches, new members will be received, com munion administered and baptismal services held. The greatest day in the calendar of Christian churches is the occasion for the renewal of churrh activities by many members of the congregations, who after the discipline of the Len ten season are revived in religious mat ters. • The church decorations will be of exceptional character and beauty, on account of the abundance of decorative Spring flowers and ornamental plants. The advent of Easter, one week earlier than last years brings it at the time when indoor plants and hothouse blooms are at their natural perfection. Choir music will be the best of the year, and special programs and can tatas will be given in almost all churches at both morning and evening Epworth Leagues Plan to Increase Membership At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Epworth Leagues of the city, composed of the presidents of the various chapters, at the homo of Charles W. 8011, president of the Grace Methodist Epworth League, the Sunday evening devotional meeting of the league was the principal matter discussed. These meetings, primarily intended for the young folks of the Methodist church, are well attended by those who know of the carefully planned pro grams that are prepared by the lead ers assigned each week. Not content with these regular attendants, how ever. the executive committee has out lined a publicity campaign that will be launched at once, with the object of acquainting other Methodist young people of the city with the salient fea tures of these Sunday evening m«t> ings. In addition, all the leagues will have a special committee at work in viting nonattendants. Programs of unusual interest are planned for to-morrow and several of the leagvics in addition are having a sunrise prayer service. As a token of appreciation to Dr. Brummitt, the edi tor of the Epworth Herald, the official league paper, who recently addressed a mass meeting in this city, an effort will be made to procure one hundred new subscribers from this city for that .paper. Tentative arrangements are being made for the second Epworth League rally, which will be held in this city some time in May.
