Maj. Alex Mackenzie. accompanied
by Capt. c. W. Durham and Maj.
Montgomery Meigs. of his engineer
corps. left last evening for Galena,
to inspect an important piece Of river

it navigable. the stipulation being
that when the Improvement should
be approved by the engineer corps
the government should recompense
the Galeua association to the extent
of 100000. The work is now COM
pleted, and Maj. Mackenzie and his
assistant engineers have gone up to
pass judgment.

The Christian Church.

The services last Sunday, both morning
and evening, were in celebration OF th'
Resurrection of our Lord. The musiI
was excellent and consisted of some Of tht
latest Easter anthems, and Easter hymni
both new and old.
Taking as his text, "Why seek We this
living among the dead? He is not here
but is risen" Luke xiv. So, Mr.. Morrow
first gavs his hearers many proofs Of
Christ's resurrection; then he led them 70
think of the rising to life of the noblesl
part of our natures from the dead and sin
ful selves in which they have become n
tombed.
The floral decorations were simple and
tasteful. There was on each side OF the
pastors chair a bank OF blooming plants,
and another in front of the pulpit with g
Gala in bloom for a centerpiece; on the
ebles were a basket and vases OF cut How
ers.
A pleasant feature of the Sunday school
was the passing of a bouquet Of handsome
roses, so that each officer and teacher had
an Easter souvenir from the superintend-
ent. In the evening Scripture passages
were read, giving the appearances Of Christ
after His resurrection.

The congregational Church.

A pretty Easter service, entitled spar
take of Glory, y was enjoyed by the large
congregation present. The service con-
sisted OF anthems and songs, which were
especially well rendered; of responsive
readings by the pastor and superintend-
ent, and OF two Notwithstanding OF
Roses and Lilies" by Robbie Adams and
Eva Marcott, and sThe Easter Guest by
Grace Cooling.
The short address by Rev. Mr.. Hardy
was taken from the text found in John
| XII. 25, 81 am the Resurrection and the
Life.p There are two resurrections; the
one OF the body from death, and the other
we should have a double-a twofold Joy.
The church was very prettily and tasti-
ly decorated with banks of flowers among
them roses and Easter lilies, arranged by
the flower committee of the Y. 7. ;. {. f..
The evening service, which was opened
by the singing OF a very pretty Easter an
them, was designed as a recapitulation OF
the services held during the preceding
week. The life OF Christ and the beauti-
full lessons which il teaches were forcibly
presented by the aid of the s-tereoptieofi,
and MS each picture was thrown upon the
screen, an explanation OF it or an idea sug-
gested by ii would be read by Miss Edith
Abbott or Miss Mamie Crandall, who had
that part of the service in their charge.
Occasionally Mr.. Hardy would call for a
stanza from some familiar hymn, in the
singing of which the congregation hearth
ly Joined. The church was well filed and
much interest was manifested through
out the service.

The Baptist Church.

A more than usually large congregation
gathered at the Baptist church to partici-
pate in the worship of Easter Sunday.
The church had been made very attractive
by the lovely decorations OF pants and
flowers, secured and arranged by Mrs. w.
b. Wall and her class, assisted by her sis
ter, Miss sadie Lamb. The singing by
the Sunday school and church choirs, led
by Mr.. John Hutchinson, was inspiring
and was heartily appreciated by the con
gregati0n. The sermon was addressed To
the Sunday school, and the pastor, the
Rev. Seward Robson, told the story OF the
resurrection of Jesus and taking them
back to that eventful day, made them feel
the wonderful and hopeful meaning OF
this, the greatest miracle In the early
church.
The attendance at the Sunday school
was unusually large. The report for the
year just closed shows a larger average at
tendance than during previous years and
4 fine financial exhibit. While the school
evidences and has spent nearly S43 on the
library, 1t has kept up the running ex-
penses and closed the year with a good
balance in the treasury. The new year Is
marked with a Sunday school choir and
a new organist, Miss Gertrude Trerise and
the music promises to make the school
hour very interesting.
