Chris. Church.

A wave Of fragrance sr9ss sr"EI :hs altar
aud the chancel of Christ church yesterday
morning, and. breaking into insuy cur
rents, swept the perfume d rcsss ard jss-
mines. lilacs and azalias, to all parts OF the
edifce.
at the head of TIE main aisle stood n
handsome floral design, a memorial 10 Miss
Sadie Gordon. 1t was over three feet high.
From q largo base OF moss and buds arose a
broken column surmounted by a Tyre. In
front Of it were several small baskets Of
roses. On either side Of the pulpit were
potted azalias so profuse with blooms that
they seemed at a distance like bushes of fire
The font Overiiowed with white azalias;
the altar railing was wreathed with moss
and rcsebuds and in the rear of the altar
other cut flowers were heaped in prOdigal
profusion. Across the chair large white
cross was placed, as if dropped there with
cut thought, but adding wonderfully to the
entire effect. Over the memorial TO the
late Duncan Johnston a cross aud crown
had been placed. From the corners masses
OF bridal roses sent forth their delicate
odor.
In the main body Of the church no at
tempt was made at decoration. Il did not
need any.
Before the organ prelude began the seat
Ing capacity of the body Of the church was
taxed. The galleries soon filed, and before
the first part of the musical programme was
at an end fully a hundred persons were stand
Ing. The music, under the direction of
Prof NJ. Steward, was fine throughout
Each member Of the choir seemed to enter
fully into the spirit of each number
and of the day itself There was
q cheerful. joyous ring that accorded with
the glad tidings of Easter time. The singers
we're at their best, and the exceptionally
well selected programme was rendered
faultle 3sly. Better Easter music has per-
haps never been heard in Savannah nor
more appreciated.
Rev. Robb Whites sermon was a strong
exposition Of the grounds for belief in the
resurrection Of Christ and the future resur>
rection of man. His logical reasoning, his
clear cut yet beautiful sentences, that fol-
lowed each other in what Was sometimes
almost rythmical flow, and his fine de-
livery, all served to make the sermon, like
the music, one of those rars treats the i'm
pressions Of which are long lasting.

filled, but many late corners blocked up the
entrance corridor.
Sweetly sin cling the professional hymn

As we homeWard move,
Hearken to our praises

the children marched up the side
aisles and then countermarched along the
broad center one. Each class was headed
by its standard bearer. The clear outburst
of Joyful music. the moving host, the flying
banners, the expectant spectators, made a

the recitation of the Nicene Creed beauti-
full Easter anthem was rendered Then
came another sweet song, The Roseate
Hues of Early DAWN followed by an ad-
dress from Rev. Robb White. In the

bearing upon each person. Then "Deck the

hind the altar railing, aud, together with
the flower decorations already there, made
an exquisitely picturesque effect.

the Kings Daughters, or the Followers of
Jesus, aud an appropriate motto. The
teachers are as follows: Miss Kollock,
Miss Bessie Johnston, Mr.. w. Cor

st. Matthews Sunday School.

st. Matthews Sunday School.
The Easter festival Ct the st. Matthew'S
Sunday school was the browning event of
the days celebration at the little church.
The services began at 8 O'Clock last night,
and were of the most interesting character.
The edifice was packed from the chancel
rail to the doors. Eighteen classes of about
40 children, dressed appropriately for the
occasion and bearing beautiful slken ban
ners, occupied the main and side aisles, and
the scene was impressive in the extreme,
especially whom the childish voices were
raised in song.
The exercises opened with the singing of
the professional, LET the Merry Church
Bells Ring,n followed by the "Alleluia."
The Lords prayer and, collects we're next
recited. Then came the Easter carol and
the Apostles Creed The superintendent's
report being next in order, Rev. Mr.. Fitz-
simons made few remarks
II appear tonight" said he, sin the two
told capacity OF pastor aud superintendent,
and the only report have to make TO you
on the Sunday school is to refer you to the
scene which you now look upon-a scene
worthy for the angels to behold. The only
complaint have to make ia that the
founders Of st. Matthews did not make the
chapel large enough. 1t is hardly capable
school"
MIR. Fitzsimons urged upon parents the
necessity of having their children attend
the Sunday sc DOL as a duty which they
owed to themselves and God, "for," said he,
lit is to these young children that the
church must look for future support If
they are trained properly in their childhood
days in religious matters they will grow up
stanch members of their faith and God
fearing christians." The pastor concluded
by congratulating the congregation on the
beautiful coDsummation of the Easter fes-
tiVities.
Another carol was sung, after which the
Glasses made their Easter offerings of
flowers and money and ranged the banners
around the altar. The singing of Pm a
Pilgrim; Pm Stranger" was the feat
ure of the occasion. After several carols
had been sung the benediction was pro-
nounced by the rector and the services were
brought to O close by the singing of the
occasional "Hark, Harkl My Soul, Angelic
Songs Are Swellipp.n
