SUNDAY. Was Celebrated in a Number of Churches Yesterday. The Pulpits Decorated With Music Special for the Sermons Addressed to the Light Dresses Appropriate for the Season. A number of years ago day was observed by the Methodist oh arch alone in this city. They made no special recognition of Easter as the other denominations did but their wealth of floral deoorations, their special music and the beautiful memorials to those of their number who had departed, were reserved for one of the Sundays in June, the month of roses.

Gradually many of the other sects fell into the same custom, so on different Sundays in June, now, there are few churches that do not make some observance of this festival. Yesterday opened, after the thunder showers that had prevailed in the night, warm and muggy, and as the wind vered again to the east there were clouds and showers. But those churohes that proposed to celebrate did so to largo congregations. These are some of the churches that observed the day. FREE STREET.

The pulpit recess was prettily decorated with large pots of flowers, snow balls and ferns. Rev. Mr. 'Wilson, the pastor preached a sermon to the children from Matt. v.

It a matter of external circumstance, the color and beauty of oandles. Even a small candle can perform great work in lighting the hearts and lives of other people.

It was Interesting to note how the address took with the children; how quickly the comprehended and 1 white candle and then a blue one and the oblldren at onoe declared that the one gave as much light as the other. He lighted a little tree candle and by it stood a big candle and he asked a boy how he was going to light the big candle when he had no matches. The boy quickly replied, it with the little one, The pastor then explained how even a little life exercised in the right direction can enlighten the life of a much older and greater person. The sermon was admirable. It not only instructed and interested the children but even the adults listened with pleasure.

The rest of the morning service was of the usual charaoter. In the evening the ohurch was filled at the Sunday Sobool concert. The school sang with much credit the chorus, Song," and Miss Walsh gave a reading with much taste. The primary exercises were very interesting and the pastor gave a short address. STATE STREET.

The pulpit, recess and its surroundings were brilliant with daisies, snowballs, wild flowers and potted plants. Each pew occupied by the soholars bore a large cluster of snowballs. The congregation, which filled every seat was ushered by Carl Smith, Philip Hinkley, Walter Smart, Philip Thompson, Lawrence Woodbury, Charles Harmon, William Johnston and Raymond Smart. During the sermon a son of Mr. Harry Payson was baptized and to these baptized children, who had reached the age of seveD years, Bibles were presented: Emily Hart Brown, Everest Johnston, Dana K.

PARK STREET.

There was a happy gathering at Park Street church of bright faced children and their parents yesterday afternoon. Several largo vases of flowers adorned the pulpit recess. After an organ voluntary by Miss Willey, long organist at the church there was the usual singing by the choir, prayer by the pastor and responsive readng followed by pleasing recitations by John Bl.tke Mabel Murray and Ray Diljlon.

ST. LAWRENCE. The decorations at this church were simple and tasteful without elaborate display. The organ was handsomely festooned with white clover blossoms and evergreen, as was also thefrailing of the choir loft, behind which were displayed the beautiful palms and potted plants. The pulpit platform was adorned with jardinieres of snowballs and elegant out flowers.

Following the responsive reading and preosdlng the anthem came the impressive baptismal servioe, four little children receiving the sacred ordinance. Mr. sermon to the children wps from Luke 3:42, when he was 12 years old they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the The theme was Jesus at the age of 12 a perfeot pattern for children today. I.

This period is epochal in the life of the young. It Is best opportunity and the greatest hope of the church.

One of the most delightful features was the singing of the solo by Mrs. Horgan, and the work by the choir.

There were recitations by Fred Thompson, Louis Strout, Helen Havener, Lena Curtis, Mary Blake, Philip Johnson, Miss Pearl Watson and three girls. Rev. Mr. Wright also made brief re-, marks. WILLIS TON CHURCH.

The- observance of day at Williston church was especially Interesting. Ferns, evergreens, palms, plants, bouquets and flags were attraotively arranged in the forward part of the church. The morning service was exclusively given up to the Sunday school ohildren Of whom there were about 200 present as participants in the exercises. They marched in at the beginning of the musical programme, the boys passing up the aisle on the extreme right and the girls on the left, the two Columns meeting in the rear of the church and returning side by side down the center aisle. Then the gaily attired little folks, their faces radiant with sunshine took seats by classes, each teacher looking after her little flock.

jAn opening chorus, an anthem by the choir, prayer and a responsive Scripture reading comprised the opening exeroises, following which the primary department was oalled into requisition. There were reoitations by Marjorie Sayward. Gladys Chamberlain, George Cressey, Hilda M. Crunn, Clement Goodwin, Vira Peters and Henry Gooding, a vocal duett by Warren Barnes and Olive Barnes, a trio by Marjorie Stickney, Marlon Jones and Marjorie Ross, and an exercise by Donald Burrowes, Dorothy Clay, Ruth Baker and Madeline Kenant. One especially interesting feature was the presentation of three Bibles to Lydia Skolfleld, Milton Hanson and Donald Grant, members of the Sunday school, who have passed the seventh anniversary of their baptism in infancy.

An appropriate address by the superintenent ac oompanied the presentation. A special offering was taken to aid the Portland Fresh Air soolety and toward the fund for the sending of good reading to the Maine soldiers at the front. WEST END CONGREGATIONAL.

The First Free Baptist ohuroh never looked more attractive than yesterday when morning and ovening were given up to the children. The flag of our country was the keynote of the decorations. The national flag was fastooned in front of the pulpit recess and a large banner ocoupied a spaoe in front of the organ. The motto Sunday, stood out in bold belief in red, white and blue. Tall evergreen trees stood on either side of the pulpit aud in front was a oboice array of cut flowers.

The flower committtee had beautified the pulpit-platform and communion table with a lavish and tasteful display of hydrangeas, snowballs, peonies, pansies and ferns. The Sunday school ocoupied the front center pews and it would be hard to say which was theferettier; sight, the flowers or the bright faces and winsome summer costumes of the children.

The double quartette which often helps to make High special services attractive was in good voice and rendered Organist selections with more than usual effectiveness. After the opening devotional servios three children were baptized. Dr. Fenn, the pastor, preached a short sermon to the young people upon the meaning and use of the 6th commandment. After the sermon the pastor in behalf of the churoh presented three Bibles to five recently baptized children, Harry Fenn, Edward and Marjorie Phillips, Robbie Burgess and Edward Brown Thurston.

That person is in favor with God who persistently aims to be righteous and humanity holds the righteous in highest favor.

Even unrighteous man hates crime in others and sometimes expresses this hatred and his appreciation for righteousness by lynching his fellow for some most hateful and unrighteous act.
