quotations. AS the disciples were told by
Christ an the sermon on the mount that
they We're the salt of the earth, so does
that obtain now in the case of the moral
man, who is the preserving element in So
ciety. An effort had been made to find
some earthly object or being to which a
strictly moral man could be compared, but
there were none to which he could even
be coutrasted. His influence is without linn
it because welded I'm the direction of right
and in the accomplishment of that which
conduces to the elevation of others.
The speaker said there are too many who
are willing to compromise with the world
in obedience to moral law and nowhere
was this observed more than in the
church. He said there are too many Chris
tians willing to attend balls, card parties
and theaters, if their worldly brethren
would occasionally drop in at church,
prayer meeting or the endeavor society.
AT the close of the service the lights
were dimmed and a Transforming scene
was presented, during which Rev. Mr..
Jones sang Nearer My God, to Thee"
The view represented the ascension of a
woman from the world TO the throne of
heaven. Nothing of the kind has been seen
at any of the revivals here, and it is be-
lieved the views, which are produced from
one of the finest stereopticons made, will
add very materially to the meetings.
The services will commence each evening
at o'clock, and will continue probably as
long as good is accomplished.

COL. TESTERS WAR VIEWS.
Discussed the Cuban Situation With
Ex-NayOr Myers.

AA-hayOE WY
Mr.. Herman Myers returned to the city
yesterday from a weeks trip to New York
and Washington. He was in Washington
on Saturday, and had quite a long talk
with Congressman Lester, with regard to
the present situation.
II was glad to see," Mr.. Myers said,
that Col Lester is very much improved in
health. He has entirely recovered his
voice. and is able now without any difl.
Guilty to give his full time and attention
to the duties before him.
"Col. Lester is not a believer in the
Presidents course with regard TO the Gu
ban situation. AS a matter of fact he
does not think that the President has any
policy. Nobody knows just what sort of
a message President Mckinley sent to the
Spanish government, but there is 5 general
belief that the independence of Cuba was
demanded. That will not be known until
his message is made public. Col. Lester
believes that Congress should merely have
recognized the belligerency of the Cubans
and stopped there.
II talked with a large number of people
in New York, as well as in Washington,
and 1 was unable to find anyone who
wants a war. The general desire is for
peace, and it seems TO be the hope with
all whoms l talked to, that the situation
will lake that turn, though the opinion of
many as to what will happen is somewhat
the other way"

voted long practice to its mastery and
rendered il in a perfect manner With
the beautiful music the service was pro-
foundly impressive. Those who attended
were delighted with the music, the sermon

rector just before the II o'clock service

ST. PAUL's LUTHERANs.
Interesting Exercises by COngreGa-
ton and Sunday school.


Easter was hailed with prayer. song and
Thanksgiving by the members of st. PauPs
Lutheran Church. At the morning SER
vice the communion was celebrated, and at
nigat the Sunday school held its festival.
The decorations were unusually pretty,
and consisted of graceful arches covered
with evergreens. Inscriptions were over
the arches, the first bearing that of "Vic-
tory" the second, Christ is Rsen," and
the third. "Hallelujah." A cross in the
center of the middle arch was covered with
roses, and on either side were clusters of
Easter lilies.
Instead of carrying out the usual order
by having Sunday school in the afternoon,
the time was devoted mostly to rehearsal
for the evening. The report OF the treas
urer OF the school was read. and showed
remarkable record for attendance and
collections. The collections for the
school alone amounted to $3.50 81
from a total attendance of 157, of
which 1871 were members and Sc were visit
crs. The total Offering was $3.50. On the

JOYOUS SERVICES AT ST. JOHNS.
Rich Decorations, Inspiring Music
and Thoughtful sermon.

and Thoughtful sermon.
The Easter services at st. Johns Church
were most elaborate in character, and
beautiful in design. The bright and beau
tiful Easter morning brought out the Eas-
ter congregation in Easter regalia, and
the church held one of the largest congre-
cations that has gathered there in many
a day The choir steps were used as seats
after the aisles had been filled with chairs,
and stan more would have attended had
there been room.
The music was, of course, a special fea-
ture of the service. 1t is always so at ST.
Johns. The large choir, composed of thir-
ty-nine men and boys with six ladies, I'M
der the direction of Prof. Spencer NJ.
White, had been well trained for the Eas-
ter service, and some exquisite and difficult
music was rendered in a manner most de-
lightful and pleasing
Among the interesting selections were
the professional, Come We Faithful Raise
the Strain" by sullivan, the anthem,
Christ Our Passover" by Schilllng, an
them He is Risen" by Schilling, "Kyre, ."
arranged by Prof. Spencer NJ. White, offer
tory anthem, Roll the Rock Away" by
Holden. Beautiful solos were rendered by
Messrs. w. F. Blois, W. A Reaves and
Albert Meyer.
The service was accompanied by APP
propriate sermon by Rev. Charles III.
Strong on the subject of THE Resurrec-
ton" Rev. Mr. Strong took his text from
Acts XVI. S. He narrated the principal
events which took place in Christ's life
between the time of his death and his
resurrection from the dead. His sermon
was based upon four propositions regard
ing the doctrine of resurrection from the
dead. Nature. he said, shows that resurrec-
tion is not improbable, reason demon
strates that il is not impossible, affection
demands 1t as a necessity and the Holy
scriptures show that il is a certainty. The
best witness of il is in ourselves, he said.
The souls that would be great then, must
be good and great now.
The services was followed by the com
munion, with the usual liturgy in that con-
nection. A large number of the congre-
CATION remained 10 partake of Holy Com
munion. The offertory was quite a large
ono. there being something more than $40.
The decorations in the church We're as
usual elaborate and beautiful Above
the altar were panels of dogwood and
lilies, and flowers and evergreens were
here and there most artistically arranged.
On either side of the chancel was a floral
cross, each a memorial. and floral memo
rails were placed in each of the windows.
The memorials were TO members of the
church now deceased.
At the morning service Rev. Mr.. Strong
wore a magnificently embroidered stole.
presented 10 him by Mrs. Edward Frost.
Upon each end is a handsomely embroider-
ed cross, surrounded by ascension lilies,
above which is a crown set with jewels.
Rev. Mr.. Strong was assisted in the reg
ular service and the communion service
by Rev. Mr. Leffingweu of Bar Harbor.

ing some time at st. Augustine, and stop
ped over in Savannah on his way North
