IN PLENTY.

Eastertide. with all its beauty and
religious meaning. is here and at every
church tomorrow the usual Sabbath
services will give wav or be conformed
to some special observance of the day.
Songs of rejoicing for the risen Savior
and affairs decked with all the floral
offerings of the conservatory win be
heard and seen through the opened
doors Of the places of worship. Choruses
and choirs and children's voices min
gled with the pure notes Of the trained
singers throats will ascend in praise OF
the day on which the Lord threw back
the garments of the dead and came
gain to comfart those who thought him
gone forever.
Easter music has come almost to oc-
cupy a place by itself and some OF the
most beautiful compositions ever pro-
duced have been of a character appro-
pirate for the day. Topeka has many
accomplished musicians who lend their
talents to make the services Of ths
various churches beautiful. The floral
decorations in many OF the uptown
churches viii be particularly elaborate
and work upon their preparation IS
keeping the church people busy today
Beautiful clusters of Easter lilies form
the principal part of the decorations IN
the larger places of worship while in
the smaller churches the offerings, fur
niShed from the homes, will perhaps be
more variegated but no less attractive.
Even the most unreligious mind can
not fail to be touched and impressed
with the beauties of the Easter SER
vice as set forth in the churches where
care IS given to the preparation of the
music and to the decorations. At the
Episcopal church perhaps there will be
the most elaborate preparations al
though Easter is one of the days for
the observance of which no detail is
spared in the Catholic service. At the
Protestant churches the forms Of SER
vice viii be simpler although to Pro
testant minds no less beautiful Most
of the services viii be held in the morn
ing at the usual hour for worship.
