A Gloomy Day, but Joyous In the
Churches - The Music.
1t was not an ideal Easter Sunday. Unlike
the many delightful spring days thst had pre-
eeded 1t, the day dawned cold and cherries
and cloudy, and In the afternoon the rain tina,
threatened early In the day fell, and added TO
the discomfort
| No sort OF weather, however, can seriously
affect the JOY that prevsdes the Christian
world on the day that commentaries the res
direction OF the Saviour, and here in Ellsworth
the Arrangements for the celebration OF the
crest event Of the Christian year were carried
out. although At the Unitarian church the FIRE
alarms interfered somewhat with the services.
AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The services al the Catholic church were In
teresting and impressive. High mass was Gel.
ebrated by Rev. FIR. Butler, and an instructive
sermon was delivered by Rev. FIR. ke.ley on
the lesson of the day. A large congregation
was In attendance.
The norai decorations were rrofuse and
beautiful Festoons OF smilax interviewer
with callss were gracefully drsped around the
tabernacle while grouped about the affairs
were clusters OF Easter lilies, roses. pinks and
ferns. These. together with po,ted plants In
full bloom, snd the many lighted candles
glesming amid the flowers. produced most
pleasing effect.
The music was under the direction OF Miss
Nancy Du,ton, organist, and was unusually
fine sud well rendered. the solos BY various
members of the large and welLtrained choir
being especially noticeable. The musical pro-
gramme was as follows:
