The j Easter music, which will be unusually fine, will be rendered by Mr. Dieder- ich, tenor; Miss Louise Boepker, soprano, and Miss Roma Swarthout, contralto. They will sing a number of selection* appropriate to the day. During the morning the Covenant Class cup, contended for by the various groups composing the Coven- ant class, will be awarded. This cup, given by the deacons, is engraved with the name of the winning group and is held as the property of that group until the new Covenant class is formed the next spring at which tim,e with proper ceremony, it is handed over to the new class. A great deal of interest has been mani- fested this year because the groups have been so nearly equal in ability as to make the contest most exciting.
