First Parish.
The decorations consisted almost en-
tirely of memorials. On the wall back of
the pulpit was large cross of genesta on
a green background. The top of the pull
pit was banked with beautiful roses and
suspended from the pulpit was a magni-
ficent wealth of jacqueminot roses.
These roses and two laurel wreaths were
memorials for DR.. Hill from the parish
and Alliance. Among the memorials
were crosses for Mr.. and Mrs. Clapp,
wreath for Mr.. Varnum; cross, Mrs.
Wingate; roses, Miss Harris; lilies, DR..
Nichols; basket, Thomas G. Loring;
lilies from Preble Chapel for Miss Nc
Lellan; basket of azalias and bouq ct of
white pinks and heliotrope for DR. Hill;
bouquet of lilies for Mr.. and Mrs. McLel-
Ian; bowl of tulips for DR.. Hill; boquet
and basket for Mr.. and Mrs. Haskell.
The organ and each music stand was
decorated with large bunch of jon
quils.
Mr.. Perkins preached a very able SER
mon from 1st Cor. XIV. 21-22.
In the afternoon the Sunday school
held union service with the Preble
Chapel. A large number were present,
and plant was given to each child.
The music at the vesper service was
very fine, as was to be expected when
rendered by Mrs. Fellows, Miss Rice,
Messrs. Thurston and Shaw, with
Kotzschmar as organist.
The Cathedral Church of St. Luke.
The tone of the decoration was white
emblematic of purity, with here and there
a light touch of yellow, violet or rose.
On the altar were two large bronze vases
of callas, memorial offerings for Col
Charles B., and his wife, Mrs. Isabella
Little Merrill. The space between these
vases was filed by Mr.. Harry Kurdish
with large Catharine Mermet roses, in
memory of his wife, Susan Emery Fur
Dish, while in the centre of the reredos
hung an exquisite cross for Mrs. Cleaves.
The credence table bore Easter lilies in
memory of Gertrude Beekman Barrett.
Above the pulpit, and on the opposite
side of the chancel arch, above the font,
were the Clifford memorial crosses.
Standing on the pulpit was delicately
beautiful Tyre of seven white camellias,
outlined with heath, for Mr.. F. III. Colby.
Rising from the font were forty Easter
lilies, the Shepley memorial. Suspended
from the bronze lectern was cross sent
by Miss Clapp, in memory of Mrs. Mer-
ril. On the Litany desk lay simple
bunch of Easter lilies, in memory of
William NJ. Sargent. The memorial win
dows of Lena Warren, Jamie Gassaway,
John NJ. Mitchell, Belle Sargent, Martha
Bancroft Davis and Eliza Pierce, were
simply and gracefully decorated.
The music, as published, was beauti-
fully rendered, under the direction of
Mr.. Carter, and the services were appro-
pirate to the day.
Free Street Church.
Large Audiences filled this church at
both the morning and evening services.
No elaborate floral decorations were at
tempted, but the display of lilies on the
pulpit platform though simple was very
effective. An interesting feature of the
concert exercise was the presence of DR..
Clough of India, who delivered an elo-
quent address at the conclusion of the
regular service.
The choir, composed of Misses Brown
and Lambert, Messrs. Cushing and
Baker, with Miss Mary L. Durgin, organ
ist, gave this programme with much
taste and expression.

Notes.
The Methodist churches do not decor
ate Easter, but pay particular attention
to Children's Sunday in June.
At the First Presbyterian church a
handsome bouquet graced the pulpit.
