The church was prettily decorated with green, Easter flowers and potted plants which were, at the close of the evening service, sent to the shutins and sick of the church. Special Easter music was given in a pralseworthy manner by the choir in cherge of which is Mrs, C, K. Halburt. Basing his germon on L Cor. 15:17, “If Christ hath not been raised your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins,” Rev. W. T. T r 8aid In part: The question of the resurrection is of more than scholastic interest and it is of more than theological concern, Life’s greatest enlgma waits upon it for solu- tion, and the deepest questions of the soul' remain unanswered till # speaks. Discredit the resurrection of Christ ani the task of explaining Christianity is assured a religion whose founder was executed as a oommon eriminal, his disciples scattered like wolves, yet spring up in a day, & religion of sacre - spiritual fervency and hcly power. - Discredit the resurrection and one must explain the follower's devo- tion to an executed Nazarene, their glad martyrdom to a mummy, their ability to launch through fraudulent pretense the greatest religious revolu- tion in all history. Yet no demonstration of the resur- rection is offered. Christ rests his case with the reasonable claim if God be God he is the God of the Uving and not of the dead. If falth were the: mere assumption of shiftlessly taking things for granted, then the smaller a man’s soul the more sublime could be his falth; but faith is the evidence of things not seen. In other words, the | convincing power of the resurrection story depends as much upon the moral fibre and spiritual quality of the one addressed as upon the loglcal charac- ter of the story itself. Christ's birth tells of God's love. | Christ’'s death/ vindicates his love, but | the soul requires more. The empty | | tomb reveals his powers, and thus the | resurrection is the heart of Christiani- tv. Deny the one and the other falls a shattered theory.

There was & very large congregation at Broadway Congregationa] church on Sunday for the Easter services, the platform being handsome decorated with lilies, daftodils and palms, the arrangement being done with charm- ing effect. At the morning service Rev. Dr. Lewellyn Pratt assisted Rev. E. S. ‘Worcester in the sgervice, the latter preaching from the text Romans 6:21. His subject was Character and Immo: tality and he showed the close rela- tion of the two, and referred to them as God's gift. At noon at the Sunday school ses- slon there were speclal exercises. Aft- er the singing of No, 108 and respon- sive exercises there was prayer by Rev. E. S. Worcester, followed by song No. 101, notices and offering.

It must neces sarily deal with incompletions. This is a joy of our life that Christianity makes growing men instead of com- plete on The self-complaisant, self-satisfied men are not the ones we know how to live with or care to have for friends, It Is people who grow that interest us. We rejoice in a religion that permits eternal growth and that will always a be a religion of hope. The Christian religion Is the only one with this hope which rests upon & liv- ing God and gains its ever-flowing life and strength from him. It rests upon Jesug Christ, Instead of the pathetic dreams of the old philosophers we have the firm assurance given through the resurrection. Hope is an abiding grace i child of the resurrection. To pos- sess thls grace ome must become -a child of God. The afternoon service was especially for the children and the Sunfl.l{hlchool occupied the seats in front of the pul- pit. St. Patriek’s Church. Its magnificent interfor decorations emphasized by the beauty of Ascension ilics, white azaleas, carnations, golden tullps and daffodils against a setting of palms( lghted tapers, including the great Paschal candle, which glowed after the gospel as typical of the light which shone among the Gentlles, with the triumphal music of organ and or- chestra, St. Patrick’s church on Easter day held large congregations, to whom the allelulas of anthem and chorus came with new and glorious meaning, after the eloquent sermon by the rec- tor, the Rev. lugh Treanor. Having read the gospel for the Sunday, Mark 6, 1-7, the story of the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, Rev. Father Treanor spoke from the text, “This is the day which the Lord hath made; re- Joice and be glad therein.” His theme was the Resurrection as the proof of Christ’s victory over death and sin, of His Divinity, and of the undying life which by it he has won for man. Chotrmaster F. L. Farrell had ar- ranged a brilllant musical programme, with solos by Mrs. Farrell, Miss Nellis Delaney and Miss Greeley, sopranos; Roderick F. Sulllvan, tenor, and M. J. Coscoran, bass. The solemn high mass was celebrated by the Rev. Franeis L. FitzPatrick, Reév. W. A. Gildea being deacon and Rev. Father Trenor sub- deacon.

At the 10.30 service there was morning prayer, sermon and Holy Communion, and the special mus- fc, under the direction of Miss Caroline H. Thompeon, was beautifully render- ed, tie work of Miss Mabel §. Clark and Willlam Scott belng exceptionally | good, while the others contributed to the general success. At the morning service Rev. J. Eldred Brown took us his text Job 14: 14, “If a man dies, ghall he live again.” At the afternoon carol service for the Sunday school he spoke upon what the resar rection meant in a practical light, and said that 1t warranted all the sacrifices as it revealed e life heyond.
