choir. We were delighted with the
Easter anthems, singing of the Psalms
and anthein "Chrise•heing risen iron;

nude and female, blending so harmoni-
ously together in the different parts
was most pleasing, 'We noticed our
genial Sheriff in the choir, The Rev.
Mark Turnbull preached a very elo-
quent pennon from the texe of St.
Paul's lat Epistle to the Corinthians,
xv., 57th verse: "But thanks be to
God, which giveth us the victory.
'through' our Lord Jesus Christ," and

-Faith bright and strong. At the offer-
tor3r Professor Cuff rendered the beau-
tifiil selection from the "Creation,"
"Thou didst not leave my .soull," etc.,
in his well-known perfect stele. The
Easter decorations were very pretty.
A handeome silver bowl filled with
choke white carnations stood on the
centre of .the eommunion table, and on
either side a della lily. On the chantiel
steps lovely. plants were placed in all
their beautiful bloom -calla lilies, get.
anions, oink and white Marguerites,
silver -leaf gera,niums, and different
foliage plants. We also.noticed a. pale
lilac -tinted cowslip, which Mrs. Turn.
bull prizes very highly, AS that species
is rare. The pulpit and reading desk
had at the top of each spreys of.. lovely
der k green Iradescantia intermingled
With red geraniums and white tilos-
some arranged very prettily, and in the
font stood a handsome leopard plant,
With ItS lovely creatn-spoLted green

assisted the ladies of St. George's in
their decorations byedding a "Reredos"

Mitre panel in letters of gold Appeared
"The Lord is Rieen Indeed." At the
top of the Reredos was "Alleluia," Also

'Before the sermoe Miss Eva, Acheson
sang the beautiful solo will extol
thee"from Costa'aorotorio of "Eli," and
her eendition of it was a revelation to
the congregation: Her voice was clear
in her high notes, and her sostenute,
notes wereperfect, showing careful
study. Afterward Rev. Jaspee. Wilson
took his place in the pulpit and refer-
ring to the beautiful solo said, "Musie
is Divine" nucl Several other pritisovor-
thy sentences. He took for his text,
for the Easter Sunday evening Service
St. Pitud's Epistle to theEphesitine, v-
•14 "Awake thoti that steepest and arise
from the dead, nnd Christ shell give thee
Light." Thesermon was a forcible re-
minder of the truth that Christ arose
from t,he dead on Easter Sunday, and
that the world should &rills sake try
In follow the example given by St. Paul
in the text chosen. The orgao prelude
and fugue were well rendered by Pro-
fessor Sitnpson, who seems • quite at
home at the instrument., The organ
And violin arrangement of "ra verd tire

and Miss Laura Acheson must be con-
gratulated on the cleft skill of her fin -

was perfect. The Professor played it
lovelv selection at the offertory, after
which Miss VViti Acheson again sting ,
the lovely sacked solo by Millard, "For-
get all thy serrow" which was truly pa-
thetic. Miss Acheson also sang Grata -
lees "Hosanna" 41& the offertory in

service.
