BASTER-DAY SERVICES AND| SERMONS

S. Peter’s Church.

The Easter Day services at this church | were of the most festive character; the mu- | sic at the morning service being from the | ancient Plain Song, and by Berthold Tours. | The evening service was a fully choral one, and in every respect like the Cathedral ser- | vices of the Old Country. The chancel was brilliantly illuminated and the floral de- corations were the most effective we have seen at this season of the year. The con- trast between this day and Good Friday was very marked. On Good Friday the church was thickly veiled in black, and no musical instrument was used at any of the services ; on Easter the church was bright and joyous, the service spoke of a new life, a risen life, and all the surroundings harmonized with that idea. In the evening the Priest In- cumbent preached an impressively eloquent sermon to a densely packed congregation (many of whom could not obtain sittings, but were standing around and in the porch of the church). He took for his text the Psalmist’s words: ‘‘This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it,’ and went on to say that no event had so stamped itself upon the whole life of Christendom as the Resurrection of Christ. It left its mark everywhere; even the very observance of the festival reached to those who generally observed no church festivals. It everywhere takes the place of the Jewish Subbath, for the Christian keeps holy the first day of the week, on which the Lord rose from the dead. It is, indeed,a a day in which to rejoice and be glad. The services of the church, all things connected with them speak of joy. These things if they spring from or assist genuine feeling, are useful and helpful ; if not, they are un- meaning symbols. It would be well for| each one toask himself honestly, do I really rejoice in Easter, and if so, why! There are certainly good grounds for rejoicing. Onthat day One who had beencruelly put todeath did literally and truly rise from the dead. His soul was not left in Hades, nor did God’s Holy one see corruption ; and He was the Saviour of men, who, with his tender, pity- ing, strong and stern love, awakened men to a consciousness of the shame of sin, and of the higher life for which they were cre- ated. And that same Saviour still lives. We rejoice in that living, loving Saviour, who cares for and wills to save every soul men. And then we rejoice, as we believe that His love and His power shall bring or- der and peace out of all the confusions and conflicts of the world. Even now, each day brings word of perplexities- war and ru- mors of war, distress of nations, strikes, lock-outs, difficulties of every kind. How it shall end at last we know, though how the end may come we cannot tell. Every plant not planted by our Heavenly Father shall be rooted out ; every social or political arrangement founded on injustice or selfish- ness shall come to an end ; kingdoms may fall, republics drop to pieces, but at last the King shall reign in righteousness, His kingdom be established, and the Risen Lord and Saviour be King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Only sin can mar our joy in this

Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy. From Sin’s power do Thou set free Souls new born, O Lord, to Thee.

Methodist Brick Church.

The sermon in the morning was preached by the Rev. Mr. Pascoe, pastor of the Bible Christian Church of this city, his text being the 30th verse of the 19th Chap. of St. John’s Gospel. We regret that we have no report of the sermon, as we have heard from several that it was a very able effort. We know that no public speaker in our midst has a better command of pure Anglo-Saxon phrases than the Rev. Mr. Pascoe. His language is expressive, terse, and neat.

THE EVENING SERVICE

was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Lathern, pastor of the Brick Church. He preached an able sermon based upon the words, ‘‘ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.” The preacher said that the 15th Chapt. of 1st Cor. contained the ablest ex- position of the ‘‘Doctrine of the Ressurrec- tion,” which has ever been written. No writer—ancient ‘or modern—has excelled

the Apostle, in grasp and sweep of

thought, in acute reasoning, or in the an- We have the proof of | an agent in Pringe Edward Island to advise

alysis of his subject. the Doctrine of the LRessurection in the negative. positive,and cumulative arguments which are supplied by the New Testament. We take the negative first. The sepulchre in which the Saviour’s body was laid, was a new one, hewn out of the solid limestone rock. It was impossible by sapping or min- ing to reach the grave and remove the body by stealth. There was but one way of en- trance, and that was by the door of the sepulchre. Against this door was rolled a great stone, and it was guarded by Roman sentinels. We know that the penalty was death if these sentinels were found sleep- ing. The resurrection must have occured at the time of the Pascal moon, The moon shining brightly from a clear sky must have prevented anyone approaching the tomb un- observed. The lie which the Chief Priests put into the moaths of the soldiers soldiers was too absurd to be believed.

Next Ws have the positive argument. Science, mathematics, and

history require proofs and facts peculiar to each to demonstrate them. In the positive proof of the doctrine of the resurrection we have the testimony of witnesses, and these witnesses are alluded to by the Apostle. After the Lord rose from the dead he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve ; after that he was seen of above jive hundred brethren at once, and last of all, the Apostle Paul himself, During the latter part of the last century, two men, numbered among the great literati of Europe, Lord Littleton and Mr. West—entered into an agreement to overthrow Christianity. They thought the religion of Christ was crumb- ling; and, by a decisive blow, would be

brought to the dust. The one undertook to

prove that the conversion of the Apowtle Paul was a fanatical belief, the other te prove that the resurrection of Christ was @ myth. In order to accomplish their end they found it necessary to read the Scrip- ! tures more than they had been accustomed { todo; the consequence was that cae} Littleton became thoroughly convinced of the genuiness of the Apostle’s conversion, and Mr West a firm believer in the res-

urrection of Christ. In examining the testimony of the four Evangelists, Mr. West found that although the accounts

viven by them differed in words, yet there was harmeny in their evidence. The fact that each account was not given in the same language, and that incidents were left out of some that were recorded in others, was strong proof that there was no collusion. Lastly, we have the cumulative proof, ‘‘For, as in Adam all die, even in Christ shall all be made alive.” ‘“ But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits ; afterward they that are Christs’ at his coming.” Christ went out a short distance from Jerusalem accompanied by his Dis- ciples, and while they were looking upon Him, He passed away from earth and took His seat upon the throne in Heaven. He is there as Mediator, and many go down through the dark valley of death believing in the power of their risen Lord to save them. 4 |

At 11 o'clock this forenoon the roof*of Mr. G. Scantlebury’s forge, on Kent Street, took fire. The alarm was given to the po lice, and the fire-bell sounded. ‘‘Rollo” engine went speedily to the scene, but on arrival was informed that the fire was ex- tinguished after the administration of a few buckets of water.

Wet Dont. —NSeveral artistically finished photographs have been laid upon ‘‘the Ed- itor’s table” by the Messrs. Ross Brothers. That of the Rev. Alfred Osborne, of St. Paul’s, is one of the best, while that of the Rev. Mr. FitzGerald is, decidedly, ‘* well done.” Messrs. Ross Brothers well deserve public patronage—and also our thanks.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, Neil McLeod, an unlicensed liquor seller, was fined $32 and costs, for selling liquor to Patrick Mullins on the Sabbath. The parties summoned on com- plaint of Mrs. Mooney, for disorderly con- duct, were each fined $4 and costs—which ffne is to be collected on next offense.

A MERCHANT of the West, ‘‘raised very much over the bay,” in this city yesterday, He entered a liquor store on Queen street, and to show that he was expert with fire- arms, discharged two chambers of a re- volver, one bullet passing through a window to the street. He was ejected from the disturbed premises, and shortly afterwards fell into the hands of the police, who, no doubt, conveyed him to quiet lodgings.

An interesting feature in the proceedings of the Oddfellow’s Natal Day, on Friday next, will be the anniversary service which will be held inthe Y. M. C. A. Hall, at three o’clock in the afternoon. The Rev. A. Osborne will deliver the oration on the oceassion;’ The Rev. J. G. Cameron, of Colville Lodge, will assist on the occasion. The public are invited. A collection in aid of the poor will be taken up.

WueEn the Immigration item was under discussion in the House of Commons, Hon. Mr. Pope (Queen’s) said they did not want

people to go to Manitoba. We are inclined to think that a like remark will apply to Moncton and Westihoreland—that we do not want Dominion agents sent here to ad- vise people to go to Mastitoba. The power of the Government has already been used in a number of waysagainst these Provinces, and further depopulation ought not to be tolerated. After having brought our in- dustrial classes to a state of destitution, it is rather cool for the Government to at- tempt to ship them off to Manitoba.—-Mone-

A Mystery UNRAVELLED. —Quebec, April 17.—The mysterious death of the poor man St. Pierre, whose body was fished out of the river near Finlay market last summer, will, doubtless, be readily called to mind. There died in the Beauport Asylum sometime

ago a lunatic, named Talbot, who was},

actually arrested by Detective Skeffington, soon after the murder, on suspicion of being implicated in it. An amount of circum- stantial evidence was collected against Tal- bot, but he was found to be so unsound in mind that it was deemed advisable to com- mit him to the Asylum, there to await her Majesty’s pleasure. A gentleman of this city has just been informed by one of the keepers in the asylum that, prior to Talbots |

i

death, in one of his apparently lucid inter- |

i

vals he described, in the course of conver- | sation, the manner in which he had hid himself behind a post on the wharf, and watching his opportunity had struck a comrade a deadly blow upon the head with an iron “coulter,” part of 4 plough, and then hurriedly dragged his body to the) edge of the wharf and threw it over, |

Srr,—I saw in the Daily Patriot a prsce of

Mfr, Lawson’s editorial, giving an account of his inspection of the Asylum foundation. What a burlesque on masonry! It appears to be the last struggle in death with them, when such a man as Mr. Lawson has to come out: as an inspector. Now, I take the evidence of Mr. Cunningham as first-class, because he had. good work done at the Railroad ; likewise the evidence of Mr. Rodd, Mr. Corbett and

others to be worth a thousand of Mr. Lawson’s.

Whiat assurance some persons have to come to the inspection of mortar! L have been a con- tra ctor for forty years, and have built thirty- two houses :in this City, and eight in the country, and have retired from the work ; and yet Mr. Lawson knows more than I do. llow far the public will believe him, | cannot say.
