All the Eniscopal churches had special Easter
services with elaborate music, beautiful decora-
tions and appropriate sermons. At old Trinity the
altar was banked with cut flowers, ana preseh'eu
an attractive appearance. The church was cro"u
ed to the doors. The music was by the 'esteo
choir of men and boys. DR.. A. II. Messiter was the
orcan,st and his assistant was Professor Victor
Baier.
The Rev. Dr. Morgan DIX the rector delivered
the Easter sermon in the morning. he said 'here
was only one doctrine Of the Risen LORD In secu-
lar and political affairs there were various prn-
c.ples enunciated. There were different platforms
Republican, Democratic and so on. when were
adroitly worded. They were worded to eaten the
popular mind. but often their meaning was OBJ
secured by verbiage. and people who read them were
left in the dark. 1t was not so with the oocrhe vi
the Resurrection. When we read in the ne"
Testament that Christ arose from the dead he
said I'VE know tina. we also shall live after death.

attacked. Men and women who were wise In their
own conc.it have asserted that Christ never ap-
peared to any Of His disciples after He was laid In
Joseph's tomb. These attacks have always been met
and SO thoroughly refuted that the doctrine has
stood upon a sounder basis than ever
