fireworks of the Greatest Composers Brought
to Express tho Gladness of tho Soul That Its
Immortality IL Assured by tbs Savior's Res
direction.

Perhaps tine most joyous of the festivals in
the calendar Of the Catholic. Episcopal and
Lutheran churches Is Easter. The sadness
which pervades the services held in commem-
Grafton of the suferings and death Of the
Saviour gives way to the glad notes Of rejoicing
which marks the celebration of the anniver-
sary Of the resurrection. Tho triumphant re-
joicing over this notable fact in the history Of
the Christian church finds fitting expression in
the grand music which the great COM
posers have written. For weeks past
the choirs of the various churches
have been preparing Tor this occasion
and in the programs given below some idea
can be obtained of the musical ability which is
engaged in the service of the churches. Some
of the grandest compositions of the most emf
nent composers are thoroughly mastered and
the Interpretation given, with the aid of organ
and orchestra, shows the careful study and
preparation which Is bestowed on this part of
the Easter ceremonial Of the churches. The
programs arranged for tomorrow's services in
the various churches are as follows:
