WITH MUSIC AND FLOWERS


Easter Sunday, commemorative Of the
resurrection Of our Lord from the grave.
is In many respects the most important, us
1t certainly il the most beautiful OF all
church festivals. It is the day when the
most elaborate displays Of flowers are
made to deck the churches and special
programs of music given. Coming at the
close of the Lenten period when. in theory,
all is gloom and sadness, Easter Is In a
sense typical of the earth's awakening to
Joy and gladness. The festival Is cele-
brated not only in Catholic and Episcopal
churches, but to a greater or less extent In
all the others as well. Even where less
Significance is attached to 1t the choirs
take advantage of the occasion to give
special Importance to the musical features
of the services of the day. Following are
the programs of music in many OF tie
churches Of the different denominations
which regard the day as particularly
worthy Of note:
