well received and had the effect Of making

At st. Johns Church, Rev. Father Gloyd,
pastor, there were two Masses, the first at I
and the second at 10, a. m. AT the o. clock
Ma ssa large number of persons were pres
ent and received Holy Communion. At the
10 O clock Mass, there was an unusually large
congregation, many strangers being present
The three altars-the High Altar, st. Mary's
and st. Joseph's-were deliberately trimmed
and dressed with the choicest flowers, the per.
fume Of which pervaded the entire edifice.
The music was of high order, all members
OF the choir rendering their parts in fine style

solos being taken by Mrs. Judge Hayden.
Misses Julia Shorb, Genevieve Golden, and
Josephine Lynch, and Mr.. I. Herbert Shriv.

which she was highly complimented. At the

the church. Vespers were sung at 4, p. m.
at which the regular psalms were given, with
so Salutaris Hostia," by c. C. Stearns, solo

The services at the Church of the Ascen-
sion were Of an unusually interesting charac.
ter. The great Feast of the Resurrection is
always well observed in this parish, but never
did the worship Of Almighty God seem to be
better rendered within this beautiful gothic
church-neyer did this christian temple seem
more glorious within than on Sunday last
At 8! o'clock in the morning was the first
celebration of the Holy Communion, when a
large congregation was present. Atl0o' clock
came the second celebration, and the princi.
pal service Of the day, and the church was
unable to seat all who came. The floral de.
corations we're complete and beautiful through.
out, the labor of the skillful hands Of Miss
Fortna, Miss Newson and DIR. Brown. The
chancel aud sanctuary we're filled with flowers
and blooming plants, banked high up on each
side Of the altar. The altar itself was clad in
its rich white yestments, and with its many
lights, its many vases of cut flowers in quiet
profusion, all so tastefully arranged, il looked
very beautiful. Surrounding all, aud stand.
ing boldly out, was a large floral crosby
far the most prominent aud attractive feature
Of all the altar dressings. These aoral dress.
ings were entirely the gift and work Of the Ia.
dies Of the parish. The whole tone OF the
services told Of joy and gratitude and the
blessings of the Risen Life. The offerings of
the day amounted to 500, S75 of which forms
the beginning Of new building fund for some
prospective work in the improvement of the
parish.
At the afternoon services the church was
again crowded to OVERLOOKING, The musical
renderings at both services were Of most ex.
cellent order, and deserve to be commended.
The choir and organ were under the charge
and direction Of Mrs. |. L. Pearson. The
special selections we're as follows ;-"Christ
Our Passover by Chapple; ''Te Deum,n by
jackson; "Kyrie,n by Redhead. The Nicene
