o THE
Easter Sunday Saw Every Church
With a Large Congregation.
In the Various Churches the Music
Was Excellent and the Decora-
lions Beautiful.

At no church festival is the subject
of music considered Of so great i'm
portsnce as at Easter. Not even on
Christmas is there greater attention
paid by the different church choirs TO
the character of the music rendered at
the various services Elaborate pro-
grams are always furnished by the
Catholic and Episcopal churches, but
Sunday the churches of Astoria, ire
spective of denomination. made great
preparation for Easter services, and
the various churches were decorated
beautifully with sweet-scented flowers,
Easter Lilies predominating. Likewise
all denominations make a special effort
to present good music on Easter, In
this city some of the choirs were aug
mented for the occasion, and some of
them had the assistance of an orches-
ira in addition to the organ. This was
especially true of the Catholic church
yesterday.
At THE first M. e. church, the Pres
byterian, Episcopal, Congregational
and Baptist, especially fine. musical
programs had been prepared. Their
rendition added greatly to the impress
siveness Of the services and imbued
tine congregation with a higher deyo-
tional sentiment. The character Of the
music on Easter is, Of course, of the
most joyous character, for 1t all typi-
ies the risen Christ and the compile
ton of the divine scheme of salvation.
1t is in great contrast with the sombre
and wlerd chants that are sung during
holy week in the Episcopal and Cath
olic churches.
Astoria is fortunate in possessing a
large number Of excellent singers who
are heard in the different choirs, and
so there is no composition too difficult
or intricate to be given a proper inter-
probation by Astoria church choirs.
AS usual the churches were more
crowded Baster Sunday than on other
festival days, The sermons, as was
the music, were of exceptionally high
order, and did not fail to impress Upon
the congregation the great lesson of
the day.

The Easter evening services at the
First Presbyterian church were unusu-
ally we'll attended, every seat in the
building being occupied, and a few of
those present being compelled to stand
throughout the service.
The church, thanks to the kindness
of members of the congregation, was
most beautifully decorated, with q pro-
fusion of lilies, palms, azaleas, and 9TH
er choice flowers and plants. Prominent
among bhe decorations was a cross, ar
tistically formed Of lilies which had
been sent Ito Mrs. II. c. Thompson by
relatives in California. OF the large
number present some few non-men.hers
of the congregation were attracted by
tho promise of a splendid musical pro-
gram, and not one was disappointed,
for seldom have Astorians listened to
music of a higher order within the por-
tails of q church. Among the s~oloists
