The Great Day in the Christian Calendar.

Splendid Observation in the Episcopal, Catholic and Centenary Churches.

Joyous Close of the Long Lenten fcoauon.

Lent is over. The season- of fasting and prayer is ended and a beauliful Easter has ushered in a lovlier Spring. Never (that is, HARDLY EVER) has the day been better observed ir. Terre Haute. To the devout Christiaa it is a time of gladness and the feeling becomes contagious with those who have no religious sentiment.

AT 8T. STEPHEN'*.

In the preparations for the due celebration of the festival of the resurrection, the ladies of St. Stephen's church have this vrar been unusually busy. The result was a magnificent floral display. On the super altar stood a beautiful floral cross about four feet .high, composed entirely of choice exotics, and on either side were large boquets of calla lilies. All these were from the establishment of Mr. John L. Heinl, and showed great taste and elegance. The church is muqh indebted to Mr. Heinl for the liberal and skillful manner with which he always fills its orders. Beside the above there were numerous vases filled with flowers, and hanging baskets. This with appropriate banners, was the decoration of the sanctuary. In the chancel were massed pyramids of flowering house plants, and wreaths of flowers.

The early dawn seemed very strongly to indicate a stormy day, but to the delight of all, the advancing day scattered the clouds, and the sunlight came out clear and warm. The early celebration of the Holy Communion was never so well attended before in this parish. This service, held at seven o'clock in the morning, was particularly delightful, and its grand himplicity "and heartiness, was most thoroughly ftlt. The grand function of the day commenced at eleven o'clock, and the musical part of the service was was splendidly rendered. Every one was delighted with the addition to the choir of Mr. George Palfry who has an unusually fine voice. Hi* kindness in remaining in town express ly to assist in the choir is most thoroughly appreciated by the parishioners lof St. Stephen's. Mr. Faris, the tenor, was particularly good in the offertory, which was a solo from the oratorio of Elijah. The Misses Morris and Keller, the sopranos, did very well indeed, and the reverent and devotional way in which they rendered their parts, was in pleasant contrast to «hat is sometimes seen in choirs. The introit, a selection from the Gospel of the day, was a contralto solo, by Miss Anna Hyde, and was exquisitely sung, her pure, sweet voice most charmingly interpreting the music of Marsh, the" composer. Mrs. Gould, who kindly consented to sing on the occasion, made the Whole complete, her rare knowledge of music, and splendid voice giving tone and harmony to all parts. Mr. Albert L. Wycth, the organist of the church, conducted his part with all the ability arid taste for which heissojust'y celebrated.

The subject of the remarks of the Rector was "The Garden Grave," and was an earnest exhortation to bury sin and rise to righteousness. The offering which was to liquidate the floating debt upon the parish, was unusually large. At the conclusion of this service wab a second celebration of the Holy Communion, which was very largely attended, and must have been very gratifying to the pastor.

In the afternoon the sacrament of Holy Baptism, both aault and infant, was administered. It seeais a peculiarly fitting time at this iestival, amid the flowers and glotious memories of the day, to obey the divine eommand, "Suf fer little children to come unto Me." A large number of infants, and three adult*, were made members of Christ's Church, in this sacred ordinance.

The attendance at the eleven o'clock service was unprecedented, almost as many going away, unable to procure seat*, as remained. Everything combined to make the occasion indee 1 a •*high day."

AT NIOHT.

The beauti'ul bunding presented a tvost attractive apptarancd in tne evening when hundreds ot bright, shining, eager youthful faces were gathered there. It was the time when the good Sunday6chool#chol»r reaped his reward for Taitfulness during tfte year, ari8 even the liule boys and girls who had made no particularly bright record in thif, respect were made glad with beautifully colored eggs. A number of carols were sting in good, time showing carefdl training on the part of Mr. Wyeth, the organist, and the members of the choir who assisted the children. A large number of .grtzes were distributed by the pastor arid Hon. Wm. Mack anil then baskets heaping full witli eggs colored in

CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

:ek past has been an ev

The week past

one in the Roman Catholic Churches throughout the world, and has appropriately been called Holy Week. The week, openei with Pajnj Sunday, and was celebrated in imposing style in a'f the Cnthulic Churche.i in the city, especially at St. Joseph's. The palms were distributed, after whiphnFather Mc Cabe sang high mass. The passion w»s sung by Father Marzetti AS the evangelist Father |icEyoy as Christ, jand Father Louis the Turba.

The great day of the week was of course Good Friday, as it was upon that day that the eaith's sublimest tragedy was enacted. The rangeof human sentiment which GoodFriday awakens has probably no equarln the history of eccleoiastical days. The day was celebrated with ail tlic sQbtimity and solemnity for which the Catholic church is noted. The lamentations of Jeremiah were rendered in three voices by the priests and the Btudents. In the evening the stations of the cross were said and were joined in by all the congregation. An eloquent sermon was preached in the evening by the pastor, Father Marzetti before a very large congregation.

Holy Saturday is also an important date io the Christian calendar, closing as it does, Holy Week and marking the day during which the body of Christ lay in the tomb where Joseph had placed it. The burial was witnessed by Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, and they watched, "kitting over against the sepulchre." To tne devout mind Holy Saturday is full of suggestions, for on that day the chief priests of the Jews and the Pharisees set an armed watch over the tomb and sealed the stone that had been rolled against the entrance. But all these precautions did not prevent the resurrection of the Saviour. No wonder, therefore, that Holy Saturday is observed with fasting and prayer throughout the world wherever the gospel is preached. For forty days the church has fasted, and with long vigil, *aw the coming of Easter with joyous heart and purer mind.

Easter Sunday is, next "to Good Friday and Christmas, a festival of great importance in the calendar, and the solemnity of the one gives way to the joyous chants of the other. Yesterday there were three masses said and two services held. At the second mass Father McEvoy delivered a short sermon. The last mass, or solemn high mass, as it is called when celebrated in any particular festival, was sung by Father Marzetti as deacon and Father McEvoy and Louis as sub-deacons. A sermon was delivered by|Father Louis. At all the services, especially the last mass yesterday, the church was filled to overflowing and as to make it quite uncomfortable.

The church during the week presented a very beautiful appearance and reflected great credit on the sisters of the academy, for their tasteful decorations.

CENTENARY. I

The Methodists do not observe Lent but the Centenary Sunday schocl mm-, agement certainly believes in taking notice of Easter.

For several years past it has been the annual custom to make the day a glad and happy commemoration of Christ's ascension, and yesterday's observation was equal to the" best ever attempted before. The Sunday school room was literally packed and hundreds went away because they could not get in.

On the printed programmes giving the order ot exercises was the tollowin interesting matter respecting the school:

ORGANIZATION.

The school organization comprises thirteea officers and forty-one teachers. The usual attendance is five hundred. The session commences at half after two and closes at 4 P. M. The school is divided into three department*: Advanced— including pastor, general bible class for ladies and gentlemen, and a young ladies, and young men's bible class. Intermedi ate Department—including junior bible classes, and all scholars above the primary age. This department is graded, following as near aa possible grading in the public »chools. Primary Department—occupvng two roO'Tis (tor lack of one of sufficient size) boys and girls together in each.

The duet, "Memories of Earth," by the Misses Ensey, assisted in the chorus by the school, was a delightful thing. Tuese sisters sing together perfectly, and with most charming eftect. They are universal favorites, .if]

The aolo and chonii by Mrs. Bridwell and school was very pretty, indeed, as everybody expected it would be, having learned that Mrs. B. would sing.

Rev. Mr. Beard, in his address, gave the school the history of song "Eternity Dawns," which they had a lew moments before given so nicely. It was written by Dr. Eddy, who twelve years ago dedicated Centenary Church tv the service ot God. "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," by Miss Koopman, was an exquisite piece of devotional singing. The nouse remained perfectly still until the last sweet note had died away.

THE DECORATIONS.

The room was really beautiful. All that ornamentation could accomplish had been dorie. A dozen birds joined in the singing as though they were transported with happiness. The eight columns in the central part of the room were utilized as receptacles for flowers. At uniform distances from the floor circular rests, shaped like hanging baskets, were fastened, and in them were pots, plants, wreathes and flowers, gracefully arranged.

This work, which was no small matter, was done by the following persons: The first one from the pulpit on the left tide by Mrs. Tennant the second by ^Irs. Clemtnens the third by Mrs. Fuqua and the tourih by Mrs. Durham and Miss Beauchamp. On the other side the first was the work of Mrs. and Miss Marshall the second of Mrs. Ingraham gand Mrs. Crawford the third ot James W. Landrum and Durbin Caldwell and- the fourth of Mr. Tennant.

Three oil paintings added greatly to the appearance ot the room. They are the property of Profs. Persons, Sandison and Burt. There were also two very rare pictures of Lakes Maggiore and Como. which were brought from Italy by Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Tennant. The following is the report of the school. The attendance was:

Tne able. chorister, Mr. Moore had placed his assistants, Roney and Pettijohn, in the left aisles, and Land rum and J. Tally in right a&les, and at regular distances, so as to guide the youthful voices. Beside the music, there was a recitation of "Easter Offering" by Miss Anna & JDouglass, artd one by Miss May Foland, entitled: "Christ is not here He hath arisen." Both were nicely done, but were somewhat interrupted by unavoidable noise at the door.
