 Morning.
 Despite the inclement weather St Johns church was we'll crowded yes terday morning. The sanctuary pre- sented the richest appearance it has ever had since it's organization as a parish, outside of forty hours devo- tion. The potted plants, the rich cut flowers, the many colored lights and the numberless lighted candles pre- sented a scene rarely witnessed in this neighborhood. On great festival like Christmas and Easter, the worshippers of St Johns always expect to see a brilliantly arranged sanctuary, but fn the opinion of all yesterdays decor ations surpassed all previous efforts. The work of decoration was done by the Misses Sarah Doherty, Cassie Mar tin and Mamie Shields. The music rendered at the high mass was under the direction of Miss Minnie Murphy, assisted by Mrs J. F. Bowers, of Wa terbury, and the local choir. In his sermon, Father O'Donnell dwelt upon the lessons taught by the visit of the holy women to the holy sepulchre on the morning of the resurrection. These lessons, he said, were love, faith and hope.
