Sabbath.
In all the churches "Christ, the Lord.
Is risen today" will be the sentiment
that will tomorrow guide ministers in
their sermons; It will be voiced In
strains of Joy and gladness by well
trained choirs and specalally engaged
soloists, and will be eloquently spoken
by thousands of fragrant and beautiful
blossoms. Last Christmas was fea
tured .by music of an elaborateness and
finish never before attempted here and
It was then deemed Incredible that it.
as a whole, would In the near future be
excelled, possibly not equalled. Yet
the arraangements made for tomor
row's services indicate that the Easter
music will at least be on a par with
that ot Christmas and in many church
es will be better.
Plants and blossoms, which have al
ways been put to such delightful use
on this Joyous festival, were never be
fore in Scranton more numerous and
beautiful. Light and temperature dur
ing the week have done much to force
the budding In florists' and private
greenhouses and the unusual supply
will be put to advantage In the church
es tomorrow.
