TRINITY CHURCH..
THE EASTER OBsERvANCEs.
The rain was a great disappoint-
ment to all who love to keep the
Queen of Festivals, and the attend
ance at the services in the morning
was, of course, much smaller than
usual. There were, however, good
number at the early Communion serv-
ice at O'Clock. 1t is service which
appeals to many, as 1t was early III the
morning that our Lord rose from the
dead. At the IL O'Clock service the
attendance was much larger, some
coming from distance, in spite Of the
weather. This service consisted of
Morning Prayer and Holy Communion.
The music was admirably rendered by
Prof Platt and the choir. The sermon
was from Revelation 1: II, Is: "He laid
His right hand upon me, saying unto
me, Fear not; am the first and the
last; am he that liveth and was dead:
and, behold, 1 am alive forevermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of
DEATH" The chancel was beautifully
decorated with palms and Towering
plants. Upon the altar were Easter
lilies, callas and carnations. Those
present who had not received at the
early service, partook Of the Holy
missions and amounted, with what has
since been handed in, to over $50. 1t
is earnestly hoped and expected that
when all the envelopes have been
handed in at the next Sundays service
it will at least equal the offering of
last Easter, which was $lO6. In the
afternoon the sun came out and there
was large cOngregatiOn-at the chill
dren'S service at 4 80. The procession
formed in the parish rooms and en-
tered the church singing the carol,
"All hail to the King" The Easter
sentences, Lords Prayer and versicles
sponsively, followed by the Gloria. The
older scholars repeated the account of
the Resurrection given in St Mat
thew's Gospel, %: lilo. The infant
class then recited their Easter lesson
in rhyme, beginning: "What glad and
happy time is this, dear children, can
you Say?" after which the carol, 80
Lord OF EARTH" was sung by the
school. The special feature of the
Sefvice followed in the building up of
model of the church edifice, the classes
in turn reciting a>text and hymn verse
appropriate to each part as it was put

ing their offerings for missions. The
symbolism of each part was explained
by the rector with the.spiritual lessons
drawn from it. Following are the
parts Of the building separately repre-
sented with the texts and verses re-
cited: Infant class, The Foundation,
Eph. 2: 20, hymn 483, v. l; Mrs
Georges class, The Chancel, Chron.
6: 40, hymn 80, v. 2; Mrs Gays class,
The Vestry, Psalm 1872: 9 and Exodus
80: l, hymn 1873, v. l; Mrs Ferris class,
The Choir, Psalm $50: l, 5, hymn 476,
v. 5. Here was sung the carol Life
cannot die" Mrs Ferris class, The
Porch, Ecc1es. 5: l, 2, verse from an
Rev. 3: IL, verse from an old hymn;
Mrs Georges class, The Walls, Psalm
48: IL, hymn 4s5, v. 2 and Z; Mrs Gays
class, The Belfry, Rev. %: II, verse
from an old hymn; Rector's class, The
Cap Stone, Eph. 5: 81, verse from old
hymn. When all the parts had been
placed in position there was seen an
exact model OF Trinity church, three
feet in length and in perfect proper
ton. The model was made by D. q.
Beers, assisted by the rector and may
be seen IN the church, next Sun lay.
The carol, Life cannot die," was
then sang and the offerings were pre-
sented and placed upon the altar, the
of Thee" The Greed, versicles, COL
lects and benediction closed the serv-
ice, and the school retired from the
church, singing as occasional the
carol, "Christ, Our Easter King"
The Offering was for missions and was
over S25. The recitation by the chill
dren was perfect and the singing was
remarkably good. 1t was spoken of as
the best children'S service in recent
years. So much musical talent was
shown that the Vestry the next day
arranged to have regular instruction
given the children in vocal music with
the view to build up good material for
the choir. The first lesson will be
ernOOn of this week at O'Clock, under
the direction of Mrs Platt.
