churches violin solo is now feature of every

The Easter music in fashionable church is
likely to cost pretty penny-almost much as
the special floral decorations. mayhap, and that
is saying good deal. For one thing the orches-
ira is pretty expensive luxury, which can be
appreciated when we figure that there are pre-
sumably seven or nine men who receive, say,
81 or S. per Sunday. The organist, if he is an
accomplished artist, receives perhaps twice
much as any member of the orchestra. After
all, however, 1t is the vocal soIosts who run up
the expense bills in these churches which

rapidly than the cost of living. There are yet

The First Easter Day
BY STANLEY WATERLOO.

BY STANLEY WATERLOO.
Never so sweet hush
In all Judean nights.
Never so fair sun
Rose DER Judean Heights,
Never so lowering close
Did all of heaven lean
AS when approached the tomb
The weeping Magdalene.
What marvel greets her eyes!
Too tear-bedimmed are they?
Behold no portal barred;
The stone is rolled awayi
Vacant the sheltering depth
Where he was laid to rest.
Vacant the narrow space
Whereon his body pres't.
Only the cerements white
Where He, the Son. had lain
Only at head and foot
The guarding angels twain,
The guarding angels twain,
OF gentle mien and grave,
To speak of word fulfilled
OF him who died to save.
How spread the mighty truth.
How all the earth OWNED!
What glorious promise kept
The saviour of mankind!
And, so. the world is glad
And men. rejoicing. pray.
As did his servants when
Came the first Easter day.

something uncanny, something almost
clammy-I mean. of course, from the
matrimonial point of view.
II know a widower who is thinking
of marrying again. He thought he'd
broach the matter delicately the other

said:

for the song service is at four o'clock in the aft

ing to the engagement of choir sing
ers. Some singers are SO much In
demand that they sing in two or
even three churches each Sunday
and an amusing illustration OF the
lengths to which churches Will go
to secure coveted soloists was al
forded recently when rich church
in a leading Eastern city had a spe-
cial door constructed so that
vocalist after singing her solos
might slip out unobserved in time
to fill similar engagement In an
other church down the street.
In the average church the great
est factor, next to the vocalists, in
making the Easter music is the pipe
organ. These monster instruments
with their rich deep tones in ire
mendous volume seem to provide
the ideal background for the soar
ing melody of the Easter anthems.
Nowadays every church that is very
ambitious aspires to a pipe organ,
but here again we find 1t possible
for churches to be decidedly ex'
travagant, for $4,000 is by no means
an unusual price for pipe organs OF
the largest size in this day and age.
The demand for these instruments
may be imagined, however, from
the fact that America, which leads
the world In such manufacture, now
has seventy-fve pipe organ manu-
