Easter Sunday Special Services Mark City Churches
Easter services filled Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian churches with large congregations. Rev. F. Ross preached his farewell sermon stressing patriotism and Civil War graves, while Rev. Handy led Resurrection themes at the Methodist and presiding pastors highlighted children and China in a missionary address by Mrs. Knickerbocker. Decor and music enhanced the day across congregations.
