Dr. Pittenger, Rector of the Church of
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and his sermon was filled with words of
argument which no honest unprecedented
man could thoroughly weigh without
following to the conclusion reached by
Dr. Pittenger.
After the sermon the usual Easter
offering was made and the result was
one of the largest contributions ever

The Holy Communion was administer
ed. after which the service was con-
cluded with the Recessonal hymn, The
Strife is Over"
In the afternoon at 400 o'clock the
younger people of the church and the
Sunday school had II sweet evening $
service together. The children brought
their Easter offerings, the self-denial
savings of the Lenten season, and each
one gave his mite no matter how small
or great.
Mr. II, III. Battle. the Sunday schools
superintendent, made a short talk to
| the children. He reviewed the past
years happenings and said that at no
time during the year had there been
other than perfect harmony. He talked
TO the boys about obedience, and brought
before them the exemplary life of Rob
ert f.. Lee The obedient boy, he said,
makes the great man.
DIR. Pittenger also spoke to the chill
dren. and his words of counsel may well
be remembered by those present.
AT CHRIST CHURCH.
Il will both lay me down in peace and
sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me
dwell in safety" This appropriate and
beautiful text from Psalms fourth chap
Ter. eighth verse was the subject of the
remarks Yesterday morning by the rec
tor. Rev. DR.. NJ. NJ. Marshal. ut the
Easter services of Christ church.
In spite of yelled sky and u some
what misty atmosphere, the church
was filled, and the Easter
bonnet was not utterly quenched.
There was a wave of bright color
throughout the dim interior, in
contrast with the hallowed white of lilies
about the chancel or richly ribboned 10
pulpit and alter-rail.
The mind of the beloved rector was
dwelling evidently upon the rest Gle
ment in death: for his little talk
| in the afternoon had somewhat of the
| same coloring.
vior compassed this phase of the dis
course, halfway Introductory, too, TO
what might have been called the main
| purpose of the sermon. namely, to ac-
centuate the necessity in the economy of
| the Christian religion of full belief in the
resurrection of Christ This, said the
| speaker, was the keystone. and here he
quoted the words of st. Paul, wherein
the test Of our belief in our resurrec-
! ton was made the belief in the resurrec-
! ton of the Savior. 1t was. then, a SER
mon of the rest in death and of resurrec-
| ton after death. The musical selections
! had been made with taste and were
| rendered in pleasing harmony with fine
spirit of Easter
CHILDREN'S SERVICE.
| In the afternoon, the occasion was par
ticularly pleasing, it being set apart as
| the Easter festival Of the Sunday
school of Christ church.
! While the services were not too eX-
tended they were elaborate and impress
sive.
| The children with their teachers came
| in from the south door singing the Pro
| cessional. They presented sweet pie
| ture, specially the little ones in simple
white, and all were disposed in pews of
| the middle section which had been set
apart for them.
The hymn "At the Lambs Feast we
Sing" was followed by Prayers and
| Versicles, and then by the anthem be-
ginning Christ our Passover is Sacri-
| feed for us; therefore let us keep the
| feast
| The lesson was read by the rector.
| followed by the hymn, He is Risen!
He is Risen" in which the children
| joined heartily.
| One of the most beautiful features.
| il not the most beautiful feature of the
services was the Offerings by Glasses. :"
in which the little children in white
surrounded the altar rail and made their
Easter offerings to the rector
At the close of the singing of other
hymns. came the Recessional. 80
Paradise! o Paradise!'
| DIR. Marshall. during the opening of the
services came forward and made an in

| which he impressed the truth or the
day upon the children by the reply of a
