glory shOne from the sky through the
stained glass windows, and added greatly
to the impressiveness of the scene. Cath
olic and Protestant mingled together,
and if all did not carry the lilies or car
nations in their hand, they were carried
in their hearts. Rev. Sullivan preached
from Mark XVI chap, 1st and 7th
verses. He explained the nature and
origin of the Easter observances-dwelt
at length upon the Divinity of Christ,
and proved that the resurrection of Christ
was the cOnsummatiOn of the work of
salvation and the ground of faith and
hope. He earnestly exhorted his hear
ers to rise with Christ in newness of
life and experience, the glorious resur-
rectiOn of the body at death.
AT 3 o'clock we attended ehildren's
service att st. Matthew's EpiseOpaD,
Rev. r. R. Swope, Rector. The decora-
tiOns were very fine, and the service i'm
pressive. In the evening we attended
religious service in KirkwoOd, held in
the NJ. Is. Church by the Ladies' Mis-
Sionary Society, and conducted entirely
by the ladies. There was scripture read
ing and prayer, music, and the reading
of a paper by young lady. concerning
the sufferings of women in foreign
lands. Rev. Mrs. Carr addressed the au-
dience. The solo singing was superb,
and could not easily be excelled. Miss
Holloway sang solo of "Watchman, tell
US of the night" and had not the sacred
ness of the place and the occasion pre-
vented, she would have received the ap-
plause of the audience, or at least of
those who appreciated pure sweet mu-
sic. She was succeeded by Miss Patter-
son and Miss Turner, who were also
appreciated. In this connection we
must not fail to make mention of the able
manner in which the music was reader
ed by Miss Annie Logan, again at the
Fourth Street NJ. E. Church, Wheeling.
The selection was from Batiste, with
Introductory movement tremOlO and full
of sadness. Then we thought of Calva-
ry and Gethsemane, when lol loud and
triumphant strains break forth to an
nounce the joys and triumphs of the
resurrection.
While in the city we stopped at the
New Mcclure, where the most courteous
treatment and the best of fare can be OBJ
tanned. We had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr.. Ed. i. Rose, formerly of n. York,
but lately sent to Wheeling as office
manager of the Howe Machine Co. To
those acquainted with the Rose Bros, it
may prove an interesting matter of news
to state that Mr.. Henry Rose will soon
bring to Wheeling a young and beauti-
full bride. The Wheeling boys are not
asleep, and Kramer's Orchestra and the
COrnet Band, two of the best of the city,
will be be ready to bid them welcome.
As a matter of surprise Mr.. Ed. L. Rose
has purchased new house at his own
expense for their reception. None stand
higher in society than Messrs. E. L. and
Henry Rose.
On the Ohio side we made our home
at the Rhodes House, kept by Mr.. n. P.
Strahl. To those who once have stopped
at the Rhodes House we have nothing
to say, as they know that clean beds and
good fare and kind attention are the rule.
Mr.. S. does not hide the poker when coal
is high in price, does not stick his thumb
in the measure when issuing horse feed,
and when you settle your bill, although
your pocket book may not look quite so
fat, it will not look as if an elephant
had tramped on it. AT this Hotel we
formed pleasant acquaintance with Mr..
Wicks, agent for American Encyclope-
dia, from New York State; Mr.. Adams,
of Cleveland. Mr.. John McLaren, cash
ier of ''the bank" and Scott 1--WE only
learned his front namel the young man
who rakes in the checks and admins
ters the tOoth-picks.
Leaving all our kind friends with re-
gret, and acknowledging their courtesy
and kindness, we once more reached our
home on the hills. H.
