large congregations, thousands of
people attended the services. From |

Eastertide.

morning mass was sung by the chill
dren. High mass was sung at 1890
and the choirs of the churches assist
ed in the services. In the Protestant
churches elaborate programs of music
and addresses which had been arrang-

Sunday schools and the choirs par
ticipating. All the church altars
were beautifully and appropriately
! decorated with Easter lilies and
spring flowers.
