The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-03-30


Morning.
Many OF the churches held the GUS
tcmary early morning services. The
religious exercises increased in Inter
est throughout tho day. Worshipping
congregations were large. Floral dec
orations were beautifully impressive
seen were Easter lilies In great abund-
ance, palms, ferns. date. palms, hya-
cinthe, calla-lilies and hydrangeas.
The oratory was generally up to the
usual popular standard. Tho singing
was even with the best capacity OF the
church choirs, and, in some instances,
in advance of former occasions. Tho
Easter religious celebrations, like those
of Christmas, increase in interest and
popular attendance year by year.
AsBURY.
Asbury's full auditorium, including
nearly the whole seating capacity OF
the balconies, attested the popular In
terest of the congregation OF the
mother OF our M. Il. Churches From
behind the loving battlement OF Gods
beauties, the lilies, geranlums and
other flowers. the pastor and Rev. John
III. Simns, Nj. D., conducted devotional
exercises, ending with the triumph.

O. Hanna, pastor, preached from st.
Matthew xviii: 9. C: He is not here:
for He Is risen," practical gospel
sermon.
No other fact is so important, soul
engaging and glorious. Easter time
Is ever more Joyous than Christmas.
The clear sky and bright sun light
this morning, seemed all the brighter
on account of prior weeks OF nearly
continuously cloudy weather. So is the
event OF tho sayiour's resurrection, by
contrast. with his previous sufferings
and death. We're the sun totally
eclipsed for three deye. with what ex-
citod joy would the people hail its ris-
ing;
gering last at tho cross, and appearing
first at the resurrection hns been told
many thousands OF times in nearly
two thousand years.
1t is still even more beautiful and in
teresting to all Of us who love Him
than 1t ever has been heretofore.
The burden of Pastor HannA'B dis
course was tho emphasizing the life
of Christ, while he set forth its office
work as the origin of results achieved
thereby.
Christ suffered that you and may
never suffer.
II was not, as some idealists have
imagined, a high OF exalted cross.
1t was low and on a level with the
sinful thieves who were crucified ct
the same time; low amid the malignant
taunts and buffetings of brutal
soldiery that thrust q spear into his
side and held sponge OF vinegar to
his mouth. 1t was tho humillating ex-
perience of the sin-bearer of humanity.
1t was an unsightly scene.
The speaker went deeply into the
most thrilling passages of our Saw
tours life and concluded with sum
ming up the great lessons OF the resur-
rection, the greatest Of which Ia that
He Is the Son of God.
