Festival-PrOgrams TO be Followed i'm
Many Of the Churches.

| The preparations made in the churches for
| the observance Of Easter day are more than
usually elaborate. This is the case especially in
the Catholic and Episcopal churches, in which
the day is kept with the ceremony due to a fes-
| tlval regarded as the most important in the
| Christian calendar, though in many other
churches OF the city special programs Of music
have been arranged. Easter is a great musical
festival, and the choirs, augmented in many
cases for the occasion, will vie with one another
| In rendering appropriate selections from the
great composers who have given musical ex-
| preston to the spirit of Easter. In many
churches, too, feature of the celebration will
be the floral decorations. Below will be found
the programs to be followed in many of the
churches Of the city.
