     from 1951, an account of the Knutsford Eagles winning a hockey championship in Mount 
     
     Pleasant rink. There were a lot of familiar faces in the photograph of the players. Betty Sweet 
     
     read the devotional, which was based on Matthew 28 verses 19-20. May the joy and love we feel 
     
     at this Easter season remain with us throughout the year. Empress McDowell read two humorous
