AT TRINITY P. E. CHURCH.
At Trinity church on the green there
were four services during the day-a
$50, $3.50 and 1880 a, m. and at 1880 las
evening. The early morning service
was attended by smaller number thar
on previous occasions, but this was
probably due to the rainy weather
Communion was administered at all OF
the morning services at Trinity, and
the number of communicates was large
at EACH
The rector Of the church, Rev. Frank
Woods Baker, is in New York at the
home Of his brother, where he has been
for the last month owing to Illness, and
the members of the congregation re-
GREETED that he was not there. The SER
mon in the morning was preached by
the Rev. DR.. Smith, president Of Trim
ity college, Hartford and it was most
interesting and impressive one. There
was no sermon at the evening service,
the evening being devoted to a special
musical programme. The music was
under the direction of Organist Harry
Read, and the singing by the vested
choir of over fifty voices was beauti-
full.
Trinity church was beautifully trim
MED with Easter lilies and palms. and
probably looked as pretty as any church
in Ahe city. The rear of the chancel
was banked with lilies, and pots of the
same flower were placed all about the
church, making very pretty appear
ance
The Easter collection yesterday morn
ing for diocesan missions amounted to
about $500, and the Sunday school col
lection was nearly as large. All OF the
Easter donations are not yet in, and
when they are received the sum will
probably be much larger.
AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH-LARGE
CONGREGATIONS ENGLISH EN-
DOWMENT FUND OF 100000
The weather did not greatly detract
from the observance of Easter at ST.
Pauls church. The congregations near
ly filed the church morning and af-
ternoon, and the number of commune
cants was larger than ever. The first
service was at $50, followed by the
holy communion at Tbs. There were 200
persons at the second communion at
$50, and nearly as many at 1880. The
sermon was preached by Rev. DR. Lines

rising of the SUM-" The story Of the go
ing of the women to the tomb was told
and some of the palmer lessons were
stated The choir under Mr.. Weld sang
admirably Stanford's TIE Deum and
Jubilate in B fiat: Martins anthem
Gas it Began to Dawn and Tours
Easter anthem. All the selections were
excellent, and they were well sung. The
morning offering of the congregation
was $1,000, divided among many objects. |
The Sunday school turned out in good |
numbers at the festival service In the |

present, and they sang the carols under |
Mr.. Stocks leadership with great spirit. |

afternoon service the rector announced
that Mr.. ard Mrs. Henry F. English
would establish the James E. English
fund.- of $4,000, the income to be used
for the maintenance of St. Paurs
church. This sum will make very sub
stantial addition to the endowment
funds, for which the rector has been
pleading, to maintain church
work in the central portion of the city.
The names of Henry L. Hotchkiss and
James Z. English are now commence
rated in such endowment
