TRINITY PARISH NOTES.
EASTER IN TRINITY CHURCH.

The Feast of the Resurrection was
begun with a celebration of the Holy
Communion at 6 O'Clock in the morn
ing, goodly number being present to
greet their risen Lord, like the wom-
en- who came to the sepulchre at the
rising of the sun. The chief service of
the day was held at IL O'Clock. The
chancel was decorated with palms and
potted plants, and the altar with Eas-
ter lilies and other flowers. The serv-
ice consisted of Morning Prayer and
the 3Holy Communion, in which the
Rector was assisted by theCRev Mr.

Christ's Resurrection" from i Peter,
%. 1t is long time since there has
been so large congregation, or so
Holy .Communion. The Offering,
which amounted to over S102, exceed
ed that of last year, and was the larg-
est purely charitable Offering in some
years. This amount was exclusive of
offerings for parochial purposes given
at the same time, and will be devoted
to missionary objects outside the par
ish.
The children's Easter service was
held in the church at 4.3O p. m. The
Sunday school entered the church sing
ing the professional hymn, "Onward
Christian Soldiers" Shortened Even
ing Prayer was rendered with one les
son and Easter hymns instead of the
canticles. After the lesson came the
special feature Of the service. A re-
presentation of ledge of rock, on
which we're ferns, and about which
were growing plants extended across
the chanel. In the front Of this
was an opening six feet long and four
feet high, in imitation of the sepul-
chre which was hewn out In rock in
garden. AS each class was called,
their Offering was brought up, and at
the same time candle was lighted at
the edge of the sepulchre, and large
white emblem was displayed within it.
The class then repeated a text OF
Scripture and recited a verse of a
| hymn illustrative of the subject, the
rector making short explanation OF
the emblem and it's significance.
The subject of the service was
'Light on the Sepulchre by the Res
direction of Christ" Following are
