 crested in anything showing jiossibili- 

 it's for a more extended use of flowers,

 ,0 effort to create interest. A feature 

 Ml he inaugurated this year will hi; 

 loiind in altar and puli)it decorations. 

 Kilicral space has been aj)portione(l to 

 ^11 exhibit demonstrating floral decora- 

 'lons in churches, confined, of course, 

 t'l the altar and pulpit. Clergy of all 

 -Inuuninations have for a number of 

 cars regretted the absence of flowers 

 -II the services of their different 

 •linrches, and it might be said that the 

 suggestion for this form of exhibit came 

 I'lrcctly from pastors. The decorations 

 v^ill he carried out by florists, different 

 '•■■(■orations for eacli day of the show.
