ton the theme being treated IA a broad and
thoughtful way. The resurrection was necessary
m order to preserve for the a1fectonate and rev.

slain. 1t was also nee .ssary, to show that after
the resurrection Christ the same personal
and living friend to his disciples: aud that death
had been robbed Of ms character an enemy
and invested with the offices Of friend. Through
the resurrection Christ received the seal Of God
upon his life and work. and presented before God
the sacrifice which he had made on Cavalry. The
musical part Of the service was Of very high
merit ana the rendering was with much spirit
aud precision, proving faithful and conscientious
work by both leader and choir. The two numbers
of Mr. Howe's composition were arranged for the
occasion and had never been sung before In the
