Notes of Services.
The celebration of Easter will be
general to-day throughout the city
In all the churches the pastors will
deliver sermons appropriate TO the
day, and in many the music will be
an especial feature. Especially will
this be the case in the Catholic and
and Episcopal churches, where there
is more formality in the manner OF
of the celebration. All day yester-
day, and particularly during the after
noon, the decorating committees were
busy in arranging the flowers and
foliage which to-day will appear in
their freshness, indicating the COM
mencement of new year in religious
life. In some cases the addition of
flowers was left until this morning,
but these displays will not be elabo-
rate. At st. Paul's Episcopal Church
the Decoration Committee was busily
engaged during the entire afternoon,
and an immense quantity of Gala
lilies, evergreens and vines was used
in the arrangement. The chancel
rail, pulpit, organ and other portions
of the front were one mass OF green
foliage, in which the white lilies
peered forth in profusion. At the
Cathedral the decorations are simple
and yet SO artistic that it is evident a
master hand had charge of their ar
rangement. Here as in other houses
of worship the Gala lily and evergreen
formed the principal parts of the de-
corations although on the altar there
were numerous white flowers of a
smaller size artistically arranged.
At the Fort street M. E. Church
the decorations will be simple and
vet appropriate to the occasion. In
front of the pulpit is suspended an
anchor of white roses and purple hell
otrope. At the right is cross made
of white lilies and directly back OF the
pulpit is representation of the rising
sun made of yellow marguarites. On
each side lof the altar is a pillar OF
white lilies surmounted by beauti-
full boquet. The railing is trimmed
with lilies and pepper. The railing
around the gallery is trimmed with
fan palms, lilies and smilax in which
are festoons of pink geranium bios
