The Easter services in the various |
churches of the city yesterday were |
largely attended. The decorations
were beautiful and in abundance
while the singing was the feature of
the day.
Central Union church was prettily
arranged in flower decorations by the
Misses Ethel Smith, Lily Patty, Kath-
leen King and Lily Love. The choir
railing was completely covered with
white chrysanthemums. The same
flowers almost hid the pulpit from
view. About the organ were immense
punches of white flowers and ever
greens. Along the platform were
placed large flower bowls containing
white lilies. a large holy cross was
suspended near the top of the organ,
while across the large pipes of the
organ was stretched banner bearing
the inscription: Christ Is Risen"

with fern wreaths and white flowers.
A background of pampas grass served
for these. Bouganvillia vines were
twined about the lamp stands in the
chancel, while around the iectern were
wreaths made of stephanotis. Just in

white and scarlet carnations. There
