MIR. McoUEEN's SERMON.
Large Congregation at Church o'
 Holy Comforter.

Rev. Stewart Mcqueen. the rector. preached an eloquent sermon at the East CT morning service at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter.
 A large congregation filled the pictur- esque edifice on Goldthwaite Street, which wastastefully decorated for the occasion.
 Nc Mcqueen spoke as follows:
 "We are wont to thinnk of Easter, my friends, as pre-eminently the Festival of the Resurrection. And so it is. But, 1t is also the Festival of Immortality. For 1t is in and by the resurrection that inn mortality is assured us; immortality, the supreme longing of mankind, throughout all the ages; immortality, mans hope ani inspiration from the beginning. It Is the belief in it alone winch makes us spurn the idea that physical death is the de- struction of life, that the breaking up of our fieshy tabernacle is the annihilation of that subtle, invisible, intangible force, element, power, which expresses itself by means of the tabneracle, and which we call life.
 Tt is the belief in immortality alone which uplifts and ennobles the concep- ton of our spirituality and invests our nature with it's real dignity. Further more it assures us. it convinces us that all our exalted aspirations, all our self-sacri- flee all our straining and striving for higher things, all our toiling and strug- gling to attain the Divine Ideal. are not to be buried forever with us in the grave, but are stamped upon us as character, the essence of our very being, character which determines, under God, the nature itself of our immortality.
 What ans interesting and significant fact it is that belief in immotality Is.

 let us, therefore, men and brethren. make our belief in immortality . practi- cal factor in our daily lives. make it 8 genuine inspiration to higher things. Let us realize that immortality begins here and not hereafter. This fact should give us larger visions of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. prompting us ever to fol- low Him as the Divine Examplar, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Let us understand that this earthly life Of ours. with it's measureless possibilities for good and evil. has a meaning and . purpose; understand that all does not end in the grave, but is intended to con- tinue in a life of infinitely more exalted activities and service, than can charac- terize us here. amid the limitations of our earth bound existence.
 If we are animated by this spirit we shall the better be able to preserve our faith in spite of the mystery of life. which. so often seems cruel and mean ingless. We shall turn to our Father. whatever befalls us, in unbounded trust and with the invincible conviction that He doeth all things well. So shall we lay hold. with both hands earnestly. upon our daily duties (the test of our reality as Christians, you observe. in patience and perseverance, amid iife's needed discipline and sacrifice. Above all, will we faithfully turn, in loyal and loving obedience, to our Risen Lord, who, on this day overcame death and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life; who on this day, brought life and immortal ity to light. for the children of men. heirs of God. joint heirs with Christ. the faithful witness and the First-begot- ten of the dead.

CHILDREN AND EASTER
BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY SCHOOL
 EXERCISES IN CHURCHES.
Young Folks of St. Johns and Holy Comforter Episcopal Parishes Made Splendid Offerings.
 Large Congregations

The special Sunday School services of St. Johns Episcopal Church and the Church of the Holy Comforter, which were held yesterday afternoon at o'clock, were laregly attended by the children, their parents and friends.
 Al St. John's Church, the order of the service began with the 'Processional," :" in which the choir, the teachers and all the pupils took part.
 The choir led in the procession and as they marched from the chapel down to the front of the church, and then down the main aisle they sang a beautiful carol, We March to Victory" Each class in the procession was led by a member carrying the class banner
 Rev. E. k. Cobbs, the rector. delivered a sh .rt and interesting address to the children. in which he touched upon his theme of the morning service.
 Certificates were awarded to eight chill dren of the primary classes, and forty eight membmers of the church year class were given diplomas
 Mir. Cobbs said that the thoroughness ot the examination of those receiving cer- tiflcates and diplomas would compare with the most rigid examination of any of the private or graded schools of today. He said that four of those receiving dip- Icmas had received 100 per cent, the per- feet mara. on their papers.
 An offering of "self-sacrifice" made by the children of the Sunday School was indeed a monument to the sacrifcial spirit in the children, for it amounted u the munificent sum of S615.
 As the classes were called. the banner pupil responded by carrying up to the altar the class donation This money will be used for the mission work of the Episcopal Church in Alabama.
 At the Church of the Holy Comforter at p. m. the chiIdren's Sunday School service was an especial feature of the Easter services.
 The regular Easter march of the class es carrying the class banners, and led by the choir. singing a beautiful carol, was the beautiful feature of the ser wee.
 AS the children marched up the aisle and deposited their Easter offering at the altar they were given Easter eggs
 The children's offering amounted to Ss6, which will be used for the mission work in Alabama.

Trouble with Negroes.

From the many open threats made by sailors Saturday afternoon, trouble of a serious nature was not unexpected in this city Saturday night. and it has been learned that the day police force was told to respond to calls from the station house if such was forthcoming. Nothing occurred, however, and but few knew of the real situation.
 It was expected that trouble would have been caused by sailors from the navy ships resenting the many indigni- ties to which they have been subjected to by a certain class of shiftless negroes in this place. Since the ships have been here at least two blue jackets have been made the victims of knife thrusts from negro roustabouts. The seamen, 1t was openly talked Saturday, intended to re- sent these rather dangerous insults by taking matters in their own hands, and a riot call was listened for from the station.

IDEAL EASTER SUNDAY
 IN MONTGOMERY CHURCHES
Large Congregations Attended Episcopal and Catholic Churches and Listened to Eloquent Ser
 mOnS---Fine Musical PrOgramS.

Easter Sunday in Montgomery was an ideal day. typical Southern, spring time day The early morning shower of rain made the sunshine seem brighter, ana added freshness and brilliancy to nature. dected as she is at this season of the year in her beautiful spring-time garments.
 The churches of Montgomery, all in their own special way. observed the tra- ditions of the day, in their services, dec- orstions and music
 At St. Johns Episcopal Church the Essterday services were especially ap- p-opriate, beautiful and impressive. The entire church was decorated elaborately. The atmosphere of the cool, dim audito- rum was heavy with the perfume from the wealth of flowers used in it's adorn- ment. The handsome memorial windows were banked with dogwood blossoms. Cherokee roses, wild honeysuckles. and many cut flowers. The gas standards throughout the church were wreathed in garlands of roses.
 The altar was a mass of beautiful flow CTS. the altar rail was entwined with wreaths of roses, and throughout the church were everywhere conspicuous tall sprays of queenly Easter lilies.
 The pulpit decorations were especially attractive, a large Maltese cross in white roses being one of the charming and conspicuous feature in that part of the decoration,
 The music by the choir of forty trained voices was beautiful and soul-stirring.
 At the early morning service there was very large attendance.
 Rev. F. F.. Cobbs, rector of St. Johns, at the Ii o'clock service, preached from the text found in 1st Corinthians. xv, 59 SC. g: "Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin. and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ"
 MT Cobbs said in his sermon that his text was peculiarly adapted and appro priate to an occasion such as was being observed To an occasion, in honor and commemoration of the victory of Him who suffered, and who died for all and arose again on the third day.
 He said that the words of his text had been many times read in that church on occasions when with bowed heads and broken hearts some loved one was borne down that aisle to a last long resting place. Especially did he point to the great truth in the lesson that "the sting O. death is sin, and yet only through death can that sting be removed. and that Jesus Christ gave himself up to die, that through Him. the victory over sin and death might be won"
 MT. Cobbs's sermon was especially com fcrting and was concise and clear ex- position of the text as applied to the life of every individual for whom Christ died and arose again.
 The offerings of St. Johns yesterday was 1,2s7. The Lenten and Easter offer ing from the congregation was $672, and the offering of the children in the Sum day School was $615.
 The entire amount will be used in the mission work of the Episcopal Church in Alabama,

Theories Advanced.

With the death and burial of Lieuten- ant Commander Warburton, the sad oc- currence which was reported in detail in yesterdays dispatches, there have been circulated many theories as to what really led up to the commission of the rash act.
 One of these, and which appears to be the most plausible. was that the officers mind had been affected by the target nractice of the ship, the allegation being made that the impact from the firing of the big guns Is more perceptible than on any of the other vessels. This alleged defect it Is said by officers here, has been noticed on no other ship, and it may form the subject of a special report to the department.
 Another rumor is that some words had nasee1 bet ween the deceased and the cap tain of the vessel. but as this Is such A grave allegation, it is not discussed at much length.
 The iovial disposition of Lieutenant- Commander Warburton made the surprise at his rash act much larger, and there seems 10 he some real motive that has not been made public. No subject is more distasteful to the Maine's officers than that of the officers death.
