TIE floral decorations were very beauti-
full and strictly confined as is proper to the
altar. Several native offerings of flowers
were also placed in memorial windows.
The Rev. w. ]. W. Finlay preached on
"Our Lords Risen Body, sits Identity ard
Immortality" He showed that our Lords
human body, from His birth to the entomb
ment. passed through chemically the same
changes that all other human bodies under
20 during q similar period. Between the
entombment and the resurrection it under
went further changes, yet while not at first
recognizable, was proved to be the same
body. only spiritualized. Sill truly body,
that's to say, still material and yet not sub
ject to the known laws Of matter. Quot
ing St. Paul, he showed the harmony be-
tween the Catholic view and the revelations
of physical change in the world around US.
Hence, while this view was generally held
for the purpose of making Scripture appar-
emily fit certain denials of Catholic theol-
ogy, doubt had been thrown upon our Lords
body rising from the sealed tomb, and gain
ing ingress and egress Of rooms closed to
natural bodies.
Insane Hospital.
Easter services were arranged yesterday
for the insane hospital. The sermon by
the chaplain was particularly adapted to
the occasion. Especisl attention had been
given to the musical programme. Mrs.
Horace Little was invited to assist and her
rich voice was much appreciated.
The florist, Mr.. Allen, had done his best
to make the decorations pleasing to the eye.
The effect was greatly heightened by the
felicitous combinati) IN of mountain scenery
with an abundance of cut flowers and
smilax. The cactus, saliva, fuchsia, olean
der, bigonia, ferns, geranlums, Gala lila,
roses and pinks all contributed much to the
beauty of the scene. From one direction,
the mountains were visible and at the base,
bIold expanse of living green,
out of which seemed to spring
large cluster of lilies. From
another, the babbling brook could almost
be heard and by its side were rare clusters
or roses.
Asa whole the view was very capti-
waiting, far the most beautiful of any seen
for many years on snch occasions, and the
lesson was not lost on the inmates. The
appearance Of such vigorous life amid
those surroundings was very suggestive.
Two members of the trustees, ex-Gov.
Robi, and Mr.. Clark, were present upon
the platform.
