EASTER AT rnH cnuRcnEs.
The Day Was deneraIly Observed
and Flowers Abounded.


and Flowers Abounded.
Yesterday was the occasion for
special services at all the churches
In commemoratioh of the risen
Lord.
Floral decorations were in evil
dence at nearly every church and
they certainly added greatly to the
beauties of the services, being typ
ical in their profusion of the spring
time resurrection of L lture from
the grave of winter, and reminding
one of the commemorate event
which the day is intended to cele-
brate.
Among those which deserve spe-
cial mention are the fOllowing:.
st. Philips Episcopal church
was beautifully decorated with pot
plants and cut flowers. They were
tastefully arranged about the altar,
and the cOlOrs were made to blend
harmoniOusly or contrast so beau
tifully that the effect was alto
gether pleasing. The services were
appropriate and impressive and
sermons relating to Easter were de-
livered both morning and evening
by the pastor.
AT the Broadway Methodist
church the floral decorations were
also lovely and filled the air with
sweet perfume until it seemed that
these risen children of nature
were offering incense to nature 5
risen God. The Easter sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev.
j. NJ. Gross, in his usual impress
sive, thoughtful manner. He also
held similar services at night.
At the Catholic church consider
able money had been expended in
securing flowers and the result
must have been very satisfying to
the members of the congregation,
as it was to visitors. At the foot
of the aisle was stand covered by
three beautiful vases which con-
tanned white carnations, while the
altar rail and altar were redolent
of renewed life in the beautiful
floral decorations with which they
were adorned. Suitable services
and sermons marked the glad Eas-
ter season.
AT the First Presbyterian church
flowers were brought into requisi-
ton and the rostrum and pulpit
looked beautiful in the garb of ma
tnre which had been placed on
them.
The services at the Carter avenue
Methodist church were held at
night and special program had
been prepared for the occasion.
Here also flowers constituted the
principal decorations and they
were nicely arranged to make a
pleasing effect on the eye of the
behOlder. Rev. Mckenzie preached
on the Easter season and obsery
ance.
We endeavored to learn some
thing of the services and decora-
lions at the other churches, and
have doubt they were equally
beautiful and appropriate, but iu
he rush of other matters which
the time and demand the
attention of reporter, we were
Unable to prosecute our INQUIRIES |
urther today. That there was a
wealth of flowers yesterday goes |
without saying and the surprise
vas that so many could be secured
or given occasion.

Penance For Discourtesv.
[From the Youths Companion.

lETOm the YOUTH s companion
Nicholas l., Gear of Russia, was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The sue
cession of the terrible wars which clouded
his reign did not tend to soften his dispo-
sition or to render him less imperious-
But rough and harsh as he was, Nicho-
las had a measure of chivalry in his dis
position. He would not tolerate, under
any circumstances, an insult offered to a
woman.
AS the Car was driving through the
streets of st. Petersburg, he caught sight
of officer of his household in the act
of upsetting an old beggar woman, whose
hands were raised in a prayer for aims.
The official was quite unmindful of the
august witness of his act, and was rather
pleased when, a few hours later, he was
summoned to the imperial presence.
Nicholas soon undeceived him, and in
the presence of a half dozen courtiers cut
