Easter in Our Churches.

OF all events in the church calendar ear
none are observed with more christian piety
and reyerance than are Christmas and
Easter. Christmas brings to mind with
reYerential force the humble birth of our
Savior in manger in the city of Bethlehem,
while about Easter day clusters in scintil-
ations of christian truth and glory the
crucifxien and resurrection of the Sor of
God who died for the redemption of man
kind from the wickedness and folly of the
world.
Thirty-six persons were received into
membership of Trinity Lutheran church on
Easter Sunday-twentv-six by the right of
confirmation and ten by transfer. The
services both morning and evening were
appropriately consistent with the crucifix-
ion Of the Son of tod who died for the
salvation of souls" The vicinity of the
altar was decorated with flowers, bright
emblems of joyous springtime, and the
auditorium was crowded to its fullest capa-
city. A special collection of Easter offer
ings for Muhlenberg College, Allentown.

months past. The morning and evening
services were largely attended. Almost the
entire congregation partook of the Lords
Supper.
At the Methodist Episcopal and Catholic
churches, special appropriate sermons, con-
sistent with the life, times and death of
Him who "died TO save us Sinners" were
preached to large audiences.

The Evangelical Sunday School last Sun
day evening, observed Easter in very ap-
propriate manner BY the rendition of an
| Easter Service by the school entitled,
'Embems of Easter" The service con-
sisted of appropriate Easter songs, recita-
tions and responsive readings by the pastor,
superintendent. teachers and school, an
tending to draw the thoughts to the res.
direction of the Blessed Redeemer. The
little folks especially acquitted themselves
nobly, and everybody seemed to have
shared the joy which naturally flows from
and is the result of faith in the Easter Vic

Professor Brnshear Anticipates an Inter-
esting Astronomical Event.

Professor Brnshear Anticipates an Inter.
esting Astronomical Event.
An interesting astronomical phenomenon
will occur on the morning of the Oath Sunday,
viz, an occultation of the planet Jupiter by the
moon. Unfortunately it will be daylight at the
time of the immersion of the planet, but it can
be seen with a good opera glass or spy glass;
As it will be of interest to amateur astrono-
mers, of whom there are are goodly number
in our two cities, I append the times below,
only approximate.
There Is to the astronomer very considerable
interest in observing an occultation of a large
planet. When fixed star is occulted or passed
over by the moon, it is instantly extinguished,
but planet having considerable OF disc re-
quires time to be covered by the moon in its
eastward journey around the earth, and the
contrast of color and other interesting phenom
ena may be studied. The third moon of Jupiter
will be occulted about ten minutes before the
planet, which in itself will be interesting, but
will require fairly good.sized telescope-say
"a inches aperture-to show it well.
The estimated time of the immersion. or be-
ginning of the occultation, is 626 o'clock Sun
day morning. The EMERSON, j. e., the reap
pearance of the planet. will occur 58 minutes
later. This is Pittsburg mean time, so that 20
L should be glad to receive any notes from OBJ
servers who may witness the phenomena.
A cablegram reached me last week that DR..
Terby, of France, had discovered a strange
white spot on the rings of Saturn. This was
confirmed by DIR. Macleod, of Montreal.
Observations were made on the night Of the
receipt of the telegram, and though the seeing
was poor. the light spot could be seen. On
Saturday night last Prof. Vey and made OBJ
servations with the large telescope Of the AL
legheny Observatory, and both observers saw
the whitish appearance without difficulty, but
both concluded that. as it borders close by the
line of the dark shadow of the ball on the
rings, it is probably the effect of contrast-and
not change in the condition of the ring
system. ]. A. BRASHEAR,

THE SENSIBLE ALTERNATIVE.

If it is permitted to the high officials at
Washington to exercise at all the graver
functions of thought in regard to the Pitts
burg postofice-which seems to loom up in
the proportions of a burning factional issue
the question might be put, "What is the
matter with Larkin?"
1t is true Mr.. Lsrkin, the present post
master, is Democrat; but there is year or
so of his commission still to run. Nobody
who knows the amiable P. NJ. will pretend
that he is "rascal." As even the Jeffer-
sonian injunction which the spoilsmen Of
the Democracy kept DINING into President
Cleveland's ears, to ''turn the rascals out,
manifestly cannot now Be turned around to
apply to Mr.. Larkin, it will puzzle the Re-
publican administration to give a single
civil service reason why he should be eject
ed before his term expires.
To good many people it must seem that
by permitting the Democrat. whose eficien-
cy or honesty is not impugned, to run his
course, the Republican administration
would come nearest to the letter and spirit
of the Chicago platform, and of the inau-
gural address. Besides, it would give the
eminent leaders of the opposing factions
time to cool and, perchance, to arrive at an
agreement which could not fail to relieve
the mild Mr.. Wanamaker from the unpleas-
ant duty of bitterly disappointing the one
side or the other,
