The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-04-15

The three sad days are quickly Sped
He rises glorious from the dead;
All glory to our risen Head!
Allelula.
Today the mighty fact of the Sa-
viour's resurrection will be proclaimed
in thousands of pulpits throughout
the world.
Denominations know no differences
in their acceptance of this truth.
Hail to the Risen Christ will be the
glad refrain that will rise from mill
lions of hearts as the triumph OF Life
over Death is commemorated.
Well may Gods temples be decked
with flowers and lights; the radiant
affairs spread as for the Guest Ador-
ed fair children swing censers, bells
clash joyfully in steeples, choirs burst
into ecstatic chants, and kneellng
multitudes render worship and honor
to the King of Kings.
In common with the universal Chris
tian church the great festival Will be
observed in Raleigh, and in all places
of worship the day will be emphasized
in some especial manner.
CHRIST CHURCH.
The chancel of Christ Church pre-
sents a striking contrast TO the APP
pearance it has worn during the sea-
son of Lent. and during the solemn
ties of Holy Week. The sombre hang
ings of violet hue, together with other
insignia that befitted the penitential
period, have been removed for en-
blems of joy to typify Christ's victory
over the grave.
Choicest flowers and Spring bios
SONS, effectively arranged about the
sanctuary, mutely proclaim the re-
turn of the Day of Days in the eccles-
iastical calendar, and the richly vested
altar with its cleaning cross, is
spread as for the Lambs High
Feast"
Possibly no church in the city will
render SO elaborate a service of praise
as will be heard in Christ Church this
morning. The choir contains many
of Raleigh's best known vocalists, and
great care has been taken in practic
ing the Easter music. The selections
are all of superior merit, Dudley
