TRINITY CHURCH.

a. m. Easter services yesterday. AT
the latter hour not only every seat
was occupied, but the aisles were
supplied with chairs. Persons of all
denominations witnessed the observ.
ance Of this solemn festival, the City
Guards attending in a body also.
The pulpit and chancel were taste
fully adorned with floral offer
ings, whose beauty, freshness and
fragrance were not without their sig
nificance. The choir of Trinity
church, under Prof. Emery's skilled
leadership, always a good one, was
strengthened ON this occasion by the
addition of several voices from the
other churches. The program
was elaborate and was executed
with ability by fourteen voices; the
ladies were Misses Bette Garland,

Prof. Emery sustained his high
reputation by the consummate abil-
ity with which he executed the
various difficult productions.
Previous to his regular discourse,
the rector, DIR. Pettis, had something
to say about contributions toward the
church debt. 1t appeared that COM
mendable activity and efficiency ex-
listed among the society of little boys,
the willing workers, the young ladies
and elderly ladies. All of these had
done Jealous work and had raised
considerable money. Somebody,
however, had committed serious
blunder, for which the rector held
himself as much accountable as any
one else. The blunder was that the
men had been allowed to let the
ladies and children do all of this
work, doing nothing themselves.
The pastor said that some one should
have been incessantly ding donging
after them and spurring them for
ward. This blunder, it is believed,
will not be repeated.
The morning discourse was based
upon the words of st. Paul, written
while a prisoner at Rome to his CO.
lab0rer Timothy. "For If we
be dead with Him we shall live with
Him" (ChrisD, I'd Tim. 2-1l The
minister reminded his hearers
l. That life is great mystery,
stretched out before us like dark,
impenetrable curtain. How little
man understands those things which
transpire before his very eyes
How impotent the physician to solve
those mysterious signals preceding
death ! In all of his fancied great.
ness, in all of his littlentss, his own
| life remains to man deep, insoluble
mystery from the cradle to the
grave.
2. Death is equally as mysterious
as life. That death referred to by ST.
Paul meaus death 10 sin dying daily
to the sins of the flesh--its lusts and
passions striving to put off the
old man which separates us from the
love and mercy of God. Let US live
with Jesus Christ here that we may
abide eternaIly with Him hereafter
The discourse was peculiarly appro
pirate to the occasion, being brief
pointed, simple presentation of thu
scheme of salvation through tn,
merits of crucified Redeemer.
At the conclusion of the service
the rector announced parish meet
ing for 1880 this evening to elect {
vestry, and that meeting of th'
Convocation OF Nashville would taxi
place in Trinity church Wednesday
