Robinson As you are aware our neighbor and friend W. L. Layson died last Sabbath morning at o'clock, after a hard fought battle for life. I think by his remarks up to the end he expected to win the- battle; lie complained very little though he had a hard time.

Easter Sunday was warm and i -right; an ideal day for new hats; a day when a pond near town was a srreat temptation to the small boy to take his first swim of the season; a day that almost made one feel more like going to a picnic than to a thurcli; and a day that was appre eiated hy every one who apprecia tes anything out of the common, a it is a common thing for Easter to be a rainy day, but this was an ex ccption.

Those who were fortunate enough to attend the meetings of the Sunday School convention here this week, heard some very able and beneficial remarks on how to en joy, build up, take interest in and receive help and strength in a Sun- lay School. We were told by different speakers in this conven- vention that the S. S. was for adults as well as children, it is tru, we lack the help we should receivo from the older ones, the mothers and fathers, and they no doubt need the help of the school as well as tho younger ones. More good is sometimes got from the lessons and teachings in Sunday School than from the preaching service.

The subject of our lesson for next Sunday is: Peter delivered from prison, found in Acts The golden text is "The Angel of the Lord encampeth around them that fear him and then; Psalm .11:7. l'riyer is our l)c--t and ofttinic our orly resort in trouble.

Marlatt was absent Mon day. Edna Babcock taught school in the Primary department Thursday. Mr. Glenn visited other depart ments Monday. The Algebra class is learning to extract the square root Monday morning the High School room was beautifully decorated (i) with old window curtains.

Monday, April there ill be school, to make up lost time.

Commencement exercises will take place, Tuesday, April 27th. Final examinations will take place in the High School, Friday and Monday. The First Intermediate department will give an ciitertainment this Friday iifLernoon.
