HELD cHILDREN's FEsTAL
 AT CHRIST CHURCH.
Members of Sunday School Made An.
 nual Easter Offering.

The floral decorations at Christ Episcopal church were most effective ly arranged for the Easter services on Sunday. At the morning sermon the rector, Rev. R. R. Graham, preached from the text Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously. Ex. Is: 21.
 Rev. Mir. Graham said in part:
 By the triumph of His resurrection Christ has made for Himself a nation so that those who in time past were no people are now the people of God: Christians baptized into the death of Christ, as the children of Israel were according to what St. Paul says, bap- tized in the Red sea, are henceforth free; and have all the privileges and all the responsibilities of freedom; {; they are to live as the sons of God, and not as if they were under any yoke of bondage.
 However strongly the church insisted on the completeness of the victory won by Christ when He triumphed over death, and him that had the power of death, it never failed to assert the need of watchfulness and care. The |. devil in one sense might be mocked at as the defeated foe, but he was still the roaring. lion. going about seeking whom he might devour. The Christian
 having put on Christ in baptism, was indeed the freeborn child of God: but with freedom there came new responsi- bilities, and therefore new dangers oi failure; death was vanquished, but
 there was a second death more dread full.
 And so the church by it's celebration l of the resurrection of Christ would teach us that the victory has beer gained, but that we have still to fight l in order that we may be sharers ir ! that victory, the enemy is overcome we are free, death hath no more do. miDia0 over uS therefore rnuSt 1vs | strive the more earnestly in the wilder. ness journey of life; for we cannot
 reach the land of promise where Goo | will be all in all until we have recog.
 nized fully His rulership, and learned | to live as the free children of God. anC His will is done on earth as it is fl | heaven.

MICHAEL FINN SHOWED
 SOME IMPROVEMENT SUNDAY.
Coroner Franklin H. Brown Questions Jitney Driver in Regard to Accident.

Michael Finn of Norwich, who is a patient at the Lawrence hospital, New London, suffering from a fracture of the skull received by being struck by a jitney owned and driven by Elijah L. Deaton several days ago, showed some improvement Sunday. During the past two or three days cerebral hemorrhages have developed and his condition has been so serious that death was feared. Sunday, however, he frightened con- siderably and for few minutes was conscious.
 Friday Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich was in New London to take Finn's antemortem statement, but was prevented from doing so by Finn's unconsctousness. Coroner Brown in- terviewed Deaton, however, as to the circumstances surrounding the acci- dent
 Deaton said that he was driving down Bank street when between Di- vision and Shaw streets Finn started across the street. Deaton asserts that he sounded his horn and Finn stopped completely and Deaton brought his car to Standstin a short distance from Finn. Believing that Finn would wait, he started up his machine again, ex- pecting that the automobile would pass. After he had passed Finn, how ever, he felt something hit against the rear mudguard and he surmised at once that 1t must have been Finn, as there was nothing else in the vicinity He thinks that Finn must have started forward again before the automobile had completely passed and was struck and knocked down.

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
Stamford, Conn, Nurse Tells How
 She Found Health,

Stamford, Conn" am a nurse and suffered from a nervous break down. l had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and nothing seemed to help me. By chance I heard of Vinol. and after taking the first bottle l noticed an improvement, and four bottles made me we'll and strong, it gave me a hearty appetite, so I can sleep soundly night or day. I consider ViEol a wonderful tonic" Edith R. Forbes, Stamford, Conn.
 The reason Vino1 is so successful in overcoming such conditions is be- cause it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat or the trouble. It is the greatest strength creator we kncw-due to the extractive medicinal elements of fresh cod hvers without oil combined with peptonate of iron and beef peptone, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine.
 We have seen so many wonderful recoveries like this right here in Nor- wich caused by Vinol that we feel per- fectly safe in, ordering to return money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit. G. c. Engler, Broadway Pharmacy, Norwich.

ties stood out in sharp contrast with the uncertainty of the times as to the immortality of the soul.
 It therefore appears that the re- ligion of Jesus Christianity has aI- ways had a clear message as to the the first religion to proclaim the eer- tainty of a personal life beyond this.
 Not only do we have a living Christ in those times, but through the i9 centuries that have followed His char acter prevails. There is no stronger evidence as to the immortality of the soul than the persistence of Jesus in the faith and motives and service of His followers.
 And then. not only have we the strongest kind of proof that Jesus did rise and that for 19 centuries He has been alive in the hearts of His fol- lowers and in the great movements of
 righteousness, but we have also the strongest assurances that He will live.
 The text declares T am He that liv- eth and was dead. and behold I am alive forevermore."
 Jesus left a great promise when He said: 10. am with you alway." Up to this time He has fulfilled literally that promise and there is every indi- cation that through all coming gen erations He will keep that sacred promise, for He Is alive forevermore.
 Easter has a glad message concern ing those who have gone on before us. but that isn't the whole message of Easter; for Easter brings to us the joy of a resurrected life in Christ. to be lived here, even before we come to the bounds of our mortal career. Be- cause Jesus is alive now and forever more we shall continue to have a strong friend for our daily needs.
 Death does not end all: 1t is but the beginning. Those graves that you arc always thinking about are not for gotten by Him. His great blue skN arches over them and He in whon they live is alive forevermore. Gave illustrated Sermon.
 At the evening service there was AI | illustrated sermon entitled Thos' Holy Hills, by the pastor. The music included selections from the sacre. | cantata, The Crucifixion. rendered bl | the church quartet The selections three in number. were For God St | Loved the World, Surely He HatI Borne Our Griefs and Halleluiah, H, Is Risen.

SAYS DEATH IS
 BUT THE BEGINNING
Rev. Joel B. Sloeum, D. D., Preached Impressive Sermon at Morning Service.

Special services in commemoration of Easter were held at the Central Baptist church morning and evening. At the morning service there was an unusually large attendance and there was also a large attendance at the evening service. The church was most beautifully decorated with a profusion of flowers.
 At the morning service Mrs. Grace Aldrich Crowell rendered a soprano solo, The Women at the Tomb. by Warner, and there were also special selections by the church quartette.
 Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., the pas tor, chose for his topic, Alive for Ev- ermore and his text was taken from Rev. IBIS: am H that liveth and was dead; and behold. I am alive for evermore.
 In part Rev. Dr. Slocum said:
 The fabric of Christianity rests up- on the risen Christ Never did Paul make a more vital announcement than when he wrote to the Corinthians. "If Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain"
 But there is no fact of history more clearly established than the resurrec- tion of Jesus. There were numerous and credible witnesses. So that when brought forward this statement that I have already quoted He knew that there was an answer. And He did not keep the Corinthians waiting long With a conviction that knew no way ering He brought forth this inspiring testimony:
 "But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the first fruits of them | that are asleep"
 It was this living Christ that was the theme of the preaching of the apostles after the resurrection of Je- suS.
 Do you imagine anything short oi absolute certainty would have inspired those early preachers to stress so viz orously the doctrine of a living Christ | There is nothing so subtle and per sistent as doubt, and if there had beer any chance for doubt 1t would have found its way into the thinking ana speaking of the apostles and others | who followed them. But if there i. anything that is especially notewor. | thy about the faith and utterances o the early Christians, 1t is this cen ] tral fact of the resurrection, of Jesus

AT ST. MARYs cHURcl
Large Congregations Were the Rule at
 All Three Masses.

Dressed in all the splendor of its ceremonial, with a beautifully decorat- ed altar and the old gold vestments worn by the priests. the Feast of the Resurrection was observed with all due solemnity at St Marys church on Sunday morning. Large congregations were the rule at the three masses for the day. The altar decorations con sisted of palms and potted plants for background. choice cut flowers in pedestals on the sanctuary steps. which with the numerous lighted candles In the handsome candelabra and an abundance of Easter lilies gave the scene one of joy in no unmistakaole terms At the gospel side of the altar the paschal candle stood out promi- nently.
 The low mass at 7.3o was celebrated by Rev. William H. Kennedy, as was also the children's mass at o'clock. At the early mass the Maidens of the Sacred Heart observed the practice of their monthly holy communion and rendered most beautifully Easter hymns during the service There were also many individual holy communions | at this service as we'll as ct the o'clock mass. at which the junior choir rendered their musical programme. The high mass at 1O.3O was offered by the rector, Rev. John H. F1tzmau- | rice. and at the close of the mass bene- | dfction of the most blessed sacrament | IF | Ing the same.

Emma Porte | lance. Rose Malone. Messrs. Nicholas J. Spellman and Horace F. Corning. The choir was we'll balanced and sang in good harmony. The glad triumphant strains of Lambillotte's Hallelujah' was
 in keeping with the spirit of the day.
 The music at the 9 o'clock mass was
 finely sung by the junior choir and is l worthy of special mention.
 Preaching on the significance of the
 great feast which the church was cele-
 brating, both priests laid stress or
 what it meant to humanity in the
 three-fold victory of Christ over the
 world, the flesh and the devil in the
 triumphal work of His resurrection
 from the dead. which He Himself had
 foretold previous to His crucifixion
 Even the guarded tomb could not hold Him in check and later on when Fl,
 appeared and remained with His apOs' ties for forty days countless thousand! loclred to His teachings. The lessor l. 1 was brought forth that His resurrec ; tion was a pre-figure of ours in tha

 The annual Easter offering. whicl I was general throughout the diocese proved itself to be of very generou

 The altar decorations for the feas were in charge of the Sisters of tn
 parish and showed their usual goo [ taste in this respect.

 We are laying great stress today upon values, and especially upon those moral and spiritual values which can not be bought in the worlds markets Man is a creature of affections as well as of thoughts. The resurrection al once rroved that all his love was justi- fled and approved. And, finally, tho resurrection sets its convincing sea on Christ's teaching.
