When Now the in place where he was the Book of John and read, there they laid Jesus. crucified, there was a garden The 'Reverend Luce looked about him. saw the picturesque Garden of the Gods In a new light, and an Idea was born. He talked to other copastors, and they offered their operation. The first annual Easter sunrise service was held. This year. In a church tashloned more than a million years ago by nature, thousands of worshipers will gather for the 25th annual Easter sunrise service. As the first shafts of sunlight are reflected from snowcapped Pikes Peak, a choir of 250 will lift their voices in a song that reverberates from pinnacle to pinnacle among the red rocks and spires. There will be 20,000 or more people in the Garden of the Gods on Easter morning, but millions more will hear the service in their homes, for it is carried over a nation-wid- e radio hookup. Near the monumental cathedral spires, three crosses have been erected. Here will stand the trumpeters who call the assembly to worship. A few hundred yards away, at the base of South Gateway rock, which is more than 300 feet high, the services will be held. The service again will be predominantly musical with the tones of an electric organ providing the backa capella choir ground. A from Colorado Springs will feature the program. Traditional with the service is the well known tenor, Bernard Vessey, who will sing Knapps Open the Gates of the Temple. During the past 25 years, millions of people have attended the sunrise service. They have faced the giant rocks and listened to the choir in natures great auditorium, acoustically one of the most perfect. All plans for the Easter sunrise service in the Garden of the Gods are handled by the Colorado Springs ministerial alliance. 250-voi- 180-ac- re Potatoes for Fanny M ae.

The boys father had given him the gun but had neglected to instruct the lad in its use. One of the most dangerous weapons is also one of the most popular to come from Europe. It is the Walther pistol. The army has records of many hundreds of cases of wounds inflicted on the person who uses the pistol, Damon said. The locking lugs in Japanese rifles are made of metal that is too soft in some cases and too brittle in others, he said. They cant stand much strain and consequently are dangerous even if handled by Under no conditions experts. should American - made ammunition be used in captured arms.
