The beautiful flowers, used on the chancel and on every window, brought their own sweet message of the day, while the illuminated chan- eel cross placed in the church by the,! Westminster Guild girls, and the table spread for the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, silently called every attendant to deeper reverence and worship.
