The gladsome Eastertide Will soon be upon us and after a period of self denial and other self restrictions on the part of many, the prospect of the happy Easter day is a source of much pleasure. For though we may humble ourselves and spend more time in pray- er and repe'ntence during the forty days of Lent than we are wont to do at any other time during the year, we are yet human and consequently longing for deliverence. Everything in the universe is joyful ' at‘Eastertide and the resurrection day this year has been prepared for as zealously as in any other year. . The church musical programs which foltow have been prepared with great care and, rehearsed at the several churches bv the respective choirs ,so thoroughly that the highest expecta- tions may be gratified. Everyone on Easter morn whether the usual new bonnet or hat has been procured or not should find their way to some houses of God and there enjoy the music and give thanks to the Lord for the Resurrection of the Redeemer: Grace Episcopal Church.
