In the barren surroundings on the rocky hillside, the agony of Christ as he suffered alone in the Garden of Gethsemane, is depicted clearly by the artist, although the outstanding merit of the scene is In the face of the Savior, with the fineness of the features, the divine kindness of its expression and its coloring, giving it warmth and life and making it equal in prefection to many of the masterpieces. The designer, who is a decorative artist, workB rapidly and it is difficult to realize that the picture, which is of mural type, was completed in about sixteen hours time. The picture merits real praise and is unsurpassed in its interpretative beauty and display of genius. About five and a half feet in height on a seven-inch step, the picture itself is three feet wide, but with its Manager of the associaton, wtwcMg side decorations of modern design Den Geyer, who left on Match, 1936. measurea about 82 inches in width.

The early date of the day this year probably made it one of the. coldest Easters ever experienced in this locality as it is churned.on only three former Easters, dating back to the beginning of weather records in 1871, has the temperature been 32 degrees or lower. Easter dawn brought worshippers in large numbers to local churches to hear the oft-repeated promise of eternal life, as, in contrast to the sad solemnity of the holy week, white altars, symbolic of joy and light, and fragrant with spring blossoms, served as the background to the worship services, while sermons on the theme of the resurrection were said and hymns of praise were sung in churches of all denominations in this locality, aa well as all over the worit^ Everywhere the message was of Easter and the beginning of spring as colorful gatherings and the singing of Easter hymns marked the celebration of the supreme miracle of t^ie Christian faith, the resurrection of Christ St. Mary's Church With the return of Msgr.
