The choir was composed OF Mrs. Ed.
S. Norton, soprano, Mrs. Fred Norton,
contralto, o. G. Dewev, tenor, and Prof.
Schofield, basso. Miss Warwood, Of
Martins Ferry, handled the organ
with great skill. Too much
praise can scarcely be be-
slowed upon Mrs. Ed. Norton for her
fine vocalization. In the solo parts her
beautiful and well trained voice rang
out and filled the church and caused an
involuntary stiffness OF the congregation
TO listen. In the Offertory, especially,
was her vocalization highly commended.
Mrs. Fred. Norton's centralto is always
heard with decided pleasure and Messrs.
Dewey and Schofeld have their own
well merited regulations.
Rev. Swope announced, very feeling
ly, that this was the last time the choir
would be heard, and he thanked them,
in the name OF the congregation, Tor the
magnificent music they had 30 often
rendered.
At the 1880 service, Rev. Swope
preached an interesting and logical SER
mon on the resurrection, taking for his
text, "He is rsen-He is not here"
from st. Marks Gospel.
At 3o'clock special Easter service
was held for the Sunday School, con-

THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
The most imposing religious services
by far, are those OF the Catholic church,
where masses are sung and prayers
chanted, while deep impression is lent
by the beautiful ceremonies. The SER
vices for the three days preceding Easter
have been OF the most mounful nature,
but yesterday all was rejoicing
and jubilation. The churches were
dressed with flowers and brilliant
with lights, and all drapery has disap-
peared with the gloom OF the Lenten
season.
At the Cathedral the first mass was
sung at $50 A. NJ, by Very Rev. ]. 7.
Sullivan. The large edifice was fairly
crowded with devcrt wcrshippers and
at least 600 presented themselves for
communion.
Alto in the morning the children's
mass was sung by Rev. Sullivan and
again the church was filled to its utmost
capacity.
The Pontifcisl High Mass was con.
Quoted by Right Rev. Bishop Kain at
1890 A. ". and closed with the PaPal
Benediction. The sermon Vas preach
ed by Rev. Reynolds, on the Necessity
Of Spiritual Resurrection, an able ex-
position OF the doctrines on that subject.
Pontificial vesper services were held
at 3 P. NJ, at which hour the crowd was
so great that many were unable to OBJ.
tain admission. The services upon
this occasion were most impress
sive and included the solemn procession
OF the blessed sacrament and the various
Sodalities. This ceremonial must be
seen to be appreciated. The slowly
moving procession, with the Bishop in
full canonicAls, and the assistant priests
in their official robes, the choristers in
their white gowns, the incense rising
and filling the church, the various So
dslities with the glittering candles, the
solemn chant, and above all the deep,
full chords Of the orgap-all unite in
forming religious pageant seen only at
a cathedral. In the course OF this ser
vice Bishop Kahn delivered an address
upon Easter, which was heard with in
terest and attention. The assistants
were Very Rev. Sullivan and Rev.
Fathers Reynolds and McElligott.
The Cathedral, upon this Easter SUM-
day, was handsomely dressed and dec
Grated. the altar glittered with num-
berless candles, and was resplendent
with bright flowers. The side affairs
were similarly dressed.
The music for the occasion was ex-
ceptionally grand, and was arranged
