Two great facts are stated In this text

EASTER SUNDAY.
Church Decorations Prettier Than
Ever Before Seen.
A Glorious Day With Large Congregations in
Attendance al Church.

Easter Sunday was one of the fair
est days of the season until late in the
afternoon. The atmosphere was btac-
ing and in fact rather more so than
could be wished of an Easter Sunday
when all are supposed to appear in
their spring garments 1t was the
right sort of a day for the new Easter
bonnets, but not of the sort for the
wearing of light overcoats.
Augusta was given a treat. Sunday
worthy of a city of large proper
tions and population. in the
way of church decorations. musical
programmes and sermons. The
attendance at the church services was
very large. Each church carried out
the programmes announced in Satur-
day mornings Journal and in each case
the Journal is assured by those in at
tendance, the services We're both i'm
pressive and beautiful. The sermons,
short abstracts of which are given below
of the greater number, Will show that
the subjects were all along the line of
the resurrection of Christ from the
dead.
There is something about an Easter
that makes every man, woman and
child wish to go, even if he does not go
at any other time in the year. 1t is
perhaps the thought that so many
others will be there, that they will SEE
a number of pretty hats and also hear
the music on which the choirS and
quartets have been practicing for
weeks to reach perfection. or as nearly
so as possible. Right here let il be
said that every church has an unusu-
ally large number Of excellent singers
and in the greater number of cases
singers who are constantly training
their voices Lastly the Easter ser
mon is sure to be brief and consequent
~ interesting. for the pastor will try
and condense all his good thoughts into
a small space to give time for the rest
of the service.
1t was. taken all in all. an Easter for
which everyone is duly thankful.

This is the day set apart to commemo-
rate the resurrection from the dead OF
our Lord and Saviour, therefore the i'm
mortal life we are al heirs TO and into
which SO many of our friends and loved
ones have gone already. The significance
Of Christs resurrection IS two-fold:
1.-The same life in us That was in Him.
AS free. conscious being, He not only
triumphed over but passed through death
His resurrection is the pledge that death
need not end all with rs. Because live
We shall live also.
But for His resurrection, the moral
force which came into the world by Him
and has fortified the cultures with faitn,
hone and self-sacriliCe, would have per

Psalm cXViii:2.
Gods own people, the children of Israel,
for repeated acts of disobedience had
been carried captive to their enemys
country. For many years they had sat
by the waters of Babylon and wept as
they remembered Zion But at last, when
they had learned obedience by the things
they had suffered, God had delivered
them. They had been restored to their
own land and permitted to begin the cree
ton of a second temple. When the cor
ner-stone of that new shrine was laid.
the enthusiasm of the people broke forth
in this glad song of Thanksgiving, the
iiSth Psalm. And as the Church has ever
regarded this deliverance of Gods peo-
ME from the power that was wasting
them as a type Of a greater deliverance
from the power of Satan and DEATH 50
She has considered this Psalm as pro-
phetic of the glad song which all Christ :
redeemed shall sing, when we who
