EASTER SUNDAY.
Yesterdays Services in the
Churches Of Augusta.
Large Congregations, Splendid Music
and Good Sermons.
When Christ Tor All Shall Risen Be. And in
All Hearts Be Born

Fair skies, ideal weather. large con-
gregatiOns at all the churches and pro-
fuse floral decorations and interesting
services through additional music and
able sermons, marked Augusta's OBJ
rVance Of Easter.
The soft. balmy air in the morning
ana the bright sunshine tempted a
large number of people out, so that the
congregations at all the churches were
much larger than usual. Nearly all
the churches made especial efforts to
secure unusually good music, either by
augmenting the regular church choirs
or by the regular ChOiTS taking especial
care both in the selections and rehedr-
sails. The programs in all cases We're
carried out as outlined in the Journal,
morning.
In more than one church a wreath
of flowers or cluster of Easter lilies
marked the pew where some member
Of the congregation had sat. express
ing the belief IF the relatives ana
friends that the separation was only
even though the former oc-
cupant is now dead.
Following are brief abstracts of the
s rmuns 1T the different churches:

the tables was so attractive that one
could not help buying. and in every
case excellent value was given for the
money received.
Everything that could be asked for
in the line of Easter novelties was dis
played. And in addition to the novel
ties for Easter was an assortment Of
delicious sweetmeats, and cakes with
jellies from which one could not help
purchasing. Many who went there
were disappointed for not being in the
secrets Of the young ladies they found
far more than they expected and many
did not leave until they had made pur-
chases so extensive that when they
started for their homes their arms
were laden with packages.
While the display on the tables was
enough to induce the customers to
make purchases, yet the manner in
which the club members waited on
their customers had much to do with
the way in which the wares displayed
disappeared so speedily. In spite of
the large numbers in attendance the
young ladies attended to their wants
in a manner that would do credit to
those who have spent years clerking
in a department store and not one Of
the bundles that went out Of the store
presented anything but the neatest
possible appearance.
When the customers had finished
buying the goods in the upper part of
the store they found a place of seclu-
sion in the rear of the store where the
lemonade stand was stationed. Here
the large punch bowl was tastily ar
ranged with ferns 50 as to present the
most attractive appearance possible
and many of the customers felt eX-
tremely grateful to the young ladies

for their thoughtfulness in arranging
this place Of refreshment.
by o'clock in the afternoon. the
young ladies' were beginning to have a
respite from their labors. But simply
for the reason that there was nothing
more to be sold. With one exception
every table was stripped. That was a
table where articles had been left to BE-
sold on commission. but such inroads
had been made on the display that the
proceeds added materially toward
swelling the revenue from the after
Moons work Those who came late in
the afternoon found a small assort-
ment to pick from in spite of the fact
that the tables. when the sale COM
menced. contained what the young Ia
dies thought to be, when they made
the arrangements. more than enough
to supply the wants Of all who might
come.
Tired but happy at the success OF
their efforts. the young ladies counted
up the results Of the afternoons work
ana found that the treasurer had $12.20
on hand with which to assist in carry
ing on the work of the Home. this be-
ing the purpose &c NnlcH tHe Sdle was
given.
The members Of the club are Misses
Susan Bridges. Emily Stinson, Faith
Randall. Winfrci Wight. Katherine
Randall Clara G. Dodwin and Frances
HaGgerty. They were assisted by
Misses Bertha Ftvnt. Margaret Phil
brook. Josephine 1'uell, Susan johnson
and Weltha Thompson. who took fully
a. much interest in the sale as the
members Of the club. 50 much inter-
est that at the lose one OF the cluD
members VfS heard to say: Il don
know what we would have done with
out YOU. yor' have helped us 50 much.
The tables were presided over by the
following young ladies: Fancy table

MINERS EXECUTIVE BOARD.
impending Pennsylvania Strike Con
sidered at Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. THE Executive
Board of the United Mine Workers cf
America, resumed its session this me a
ing, with the question OF strike in the
anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania
a special order for consideration.
The board is a deliberative body, CON
posed of men advanced in years and ripe in
experience, and they realize what a serious
step the ordering OF the strike would be.
The members declare that if there is
possible way of avoiding the strike, it will
be accepted, but that the interests of the
anthracite miners are at stake and prac-
tically the only chance for eliminating
strike is for-the operators to grant the de-
mands or -st~least show a willingness to
consider them. The time limit for the
operators to accept the miners PROPOSE
tion Is Saturday midnight and ii is posi-
bic that the executive board may delay
final action until after that time.
Considerable feeling was caused among
the members this morning by private ad-
vices that Lieut.. Governor Goblin, of
Pennsylvania, has recently ordered the
militia under arms in anticipation of a
strike,
