| CHRIST IS RISEN
EASTER DAY SERVICE
10 be Celebrated Tomorrow in
the Churches.
Is A JOYOUS OCCASION.
The Highest Of Christian Festivals Ends
the kiourniul Season Of Lent To-

always been regarded as the very
queen or the highest of all the Chris
| tian festivals. The mournful season
OF Lent is past. the Saviour has bseh
cruciiied and buried, and now is
Christ risen indeed, the first fruits CT
them that slept.
The name is derived from Eostre,
a goddess to whom the Saxons and
other Northern nations sacrificed at
about this season. The Paschal. or
Jewish Passover, celebrated at this
time, lent it's name to the Christian
Paschal season, but the precise time
for keeping Easter has been cause
Of contention between Eastern and
Western Christians.
| Customs peculiar to the season are
dying out in England, but on the Con-
tinent paschal eggs, with colored
shells and toys in the shape of gigan-
tic eggs, are given amongst all class
es. Easter Day is observed by all
| Christians throughout the world.
In the ritual churches the day is
observed with more imposing SER
vices and &C remonies, but there is
scarcely Christian church that does
not on this day refer in some way
to the resurrection of Christ In
most churches be iutiful flowers adorn
the altar and Easter offerings are
made in all churches, the musical
program is more or less elaborate
and suggests that Christ is risen.
All Christians are expected to at.
tend some one of the service on Eas-
ter Day and in the ritual churches all
members are expected to take the
Holy Communion on this day. To-
morrow the day in Annapolis will be
observed in the following churches
