The .Services, the Sermons anti the Pec orations-A Bright Pay and Fnll Con? gregations. Everbody and bis wife goes to church on Easier Sunday. Apart from lu religious signifi? cance, the day has come to be reg?rded as the period for a general doffing of winter toggery on the part or the fairer half of the community, ead streets and churches alike were yesterday radiant with bright forms and faces arrayed In a style which sufficiently explains why the milliners and dressmakers for the last fortnight have been all In a flutter of excitement over order3 which "mast be finished" by ?Saturday night. The weather was glorious-with just that cloudless sky and unexceptionable sunshine so well adapted for pious contemplation and rejoicing, as well as for the display to the very best advantage of spring bonnets and new and enchanting toilettes. In all the churches the congregations were full to overflowing. Whether lt was due to the peculiar? ly propltioas stage of the floral season, or to the unusual zeal and energy of the lady-workers and their assistante, the fact seems to be genera:!; conceded that the decorations, especially in the Episcopal churches, were never before so beauti? ful and elaborate as upon this occasion; and the more noted and venerable of our houses of wor? ship, whose history ls so closely Identified with that of old Charleston, seemed to vie with each other In the happy taste with which art and na? ture were blended for their adornment. It was a beautiful thought expressed in more than one of j the discourses of the day, that blessed are the fingers which have wrought so earnestly for the embellishment of the house of God. - ST. MICHAEL'S. The interior of this hallowed pile .is always a sight to sea on Easter morning. But the floral wealth with which it was so Intricately laden yes? terday eclipsed all previous displays of the kind. Trie- font at the entrance was filled with a gorge? ous basket of dowers. The white altar cloth was slaborately worked with cedar. The pulpit and sounding board were tastefully dressed with ?reen ; while the reading desk was hung with lower-studded garlands. The chancel was fes? tooned with evergreen, moss and flowers; and the beautiful manner in which the great chandelier was encased tn green was the theme of general admiration. The pillars, the galleries and the organ loft were each richly adorned, and made to sontrlbute to the general effect. The sermon was preached by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Trapier. from 1st Peter, I, 24. The pastor administered Communion to a very large number, being assist sd in that duty by the Rev. Mr. Cornish from aiken. ST. PHILIP'S CHDBCH. The ceremonies at this sanctuary were charac? terized by more than usual devotion and i.npres Hveness. The decorations, which probably BX* ?eded those of any previous time, although the irat St. Philip's dated back to about 1T2T, were the ian:" .rork of the ladies of the congregation, and 'or which they deserve unqualified praise for this >eauUful exhibition of their taste In so holy a irork. In the vestibule a cross mounted on a leavy pedestal, constructed of evergreens, flow ?rs and mosses, was universally admired as an . mistic effort, and a happy combination of the loral riches of this climate. The ornamentation if the Interior was elaborate and complete, the nasalve festoons of arborvitae hanging In groce ol forms ta the nave, while the elegant columns rhlch support tire galleries, had all their promt tent points picturesquely adorned vi tn magnifi? ent wreaths, festoons and dowers. The altar, mlle remarkable for the floral skill displayed in , ts arrangement was also adorned by inscriptions, n letters of evergreen and gilt, among which 0 vere the 'The battle fought, the victory won"- T 'Loves redeeming work ls done"- -and- in the entre of a beautiful cross, composed of ever-, reens, placed against the ornamented window, ras "By this Conquer," (n gilt letters.

John Johnson, and the sermon | f vas preached by the latter from Phlllpians, 3d hapter. 10th ver-e: "That I may know Him t ind the power of His resurrection." The church c vas crowded with au atten ive auditory. f 8T. PAUL'S CHURCH, BADCLIFFEB0B0'. ] The great size of Sc. Paul's Church makes Ulm- t losslble to decorate it as elaborately as could be lesired; and the work of adornment was, there ore, chiefly confined to the spacious and Impos? ai chancel. ? The large w lado? s in'the rear were , whpicccry covered with? ev?ifexeens and roses, t ormlng a beautiful background to the lighter ( ecoratlons of the outer chancel. In the middle rtndow a cross of dark green, relieved by white t oses and surmounted by a crown, stood con- < plcuously out; and above the windows the le- c ;end "I am the resurrection," was traced In rats . d letters. The Interior or St. Paul's has recently leen remodelled, and the pulpit and desk having ieen removed from before the chancel, the view ] rom the whole.church, was unobstructed. Above j he chancel hung a large cross poised in mid-air ] iy Invisible supports, producing a striking and leautlfui effect. The font was tilled with flowers I t nd surmounted by a cross, which sacred emblem | t ras also to be seen above the desk add pitlplt, nd In the vestibule of the church, upon a base of arf and moss. Around the organ-gallery were - raced in white and green the words "0 Death . rhere ls thy sling ? 0 Grave where ls thy victo- . y ?" The rector, Rev. Jas. H. Elliott, preached au ble sermon from Mark xvi, 3: "Who shall roll us way the stone from the door ot the sepulchre !

This ohurch waa beautifully .and artisUjc&Uy 11 leoorated yesterday with cedar wreaths haoging j f rum the upper windows. From these, at .their onction, depended baskets of rara flowers sway, og with every breeze of the fresh Eas ter oru? ng. There were, also, fierai crosses, and a pre? nsi?n of types of the Resurrection LU the chancel Ad font. Prayers were read by the Ber. Mr. I ? treen, and a sermon preached bj the rector, the | . lev. C.. C. Plackney, from Acts, xx vi, 8: "Why ihsuldlt be thought a thing Incredible with yr>u hat God should raise the dead?'' Opening wi tn j j i view of the great doctrines which cluster iroond Easter, the Death and R?surrection of Jurist, and the prospect cf Resurrection for man, ;he reverend speaker proceeded, in glowing lan? guage, to prove the doctrine was not incredible, md is fully taught by Revelation, Illustrating (as i , arguments with great beauty and force by the [ processes of Nature in the vegetable and animal dagdom-tue Egyptian lily vivified after three thousand years' sleep-the ugly caterpillar soar? ing as a gorgeous butterfly.

Grace Church has been recently painted and re? paired so aeto obliterate the -traces left - by the war, and the ladies and Sauday-schooi children have replaced the faded chancel and desk cash, lons with fresh ones as an Raster oder lng. TBS CHUBCH Or THE HOLT COMMUNION has au achltectural style peculiarly us owu. which enables the floral decorations of Easter io be .'eeo to great advantage. The roor and cro>s-beams of polished native pine were dexterously utilized by the committee on decorations, and festoons of evergreens crossed and recrossed each other In bewildering and beautiful confusion. Pendant from the ?entre was a moss-crowned basket filled wita, fragrant fioweri Around thc church every prQject]jon_wa9 adorned with evergreens which J entwined, each pillar, 'while bou?flf?t? nestlet! j the base. The chancel was the principal attrac? tion and was elaborately ornamented. Festoons and wreaths covered the walls, and the altar was a floral triumph. A stone cross, rising from a bed of flowers, was Itself covered with roses. The baptismal font, pulpit and reading desk were also elaborately ornamented. The former bore a pyramid of white roses, on which, In bold relief was a red cross. The decorations of thc entire chnrch were very attractive, aad hard to surpass. The Rev. A. T. Porter, rector or the church, offi? ciated, and delivered an Impressive discourse on the resurrection, irom the words of St. Pani: "Christ the first fruits." THE HUGUENOT CHURCH. The decorations of this church, though not as elaborate as many of the others, were beau? tifully arranged and admirably suited to the style an?! size of the lutetior. The chancel, lu the rear of which stands the organ, was one mass of flow? ers, arranged In a manner which reflected much credit on the artistic taste of the manipulators. Over the reading desk, In letters of gold, and worked with green leaves, were the words : | j "Peace be unto you." The rails: of the chancel and gallery were festooned with chains of ever? greens, and ornamented with wreaths. The most beautiful feature of the dressing was a cres H of delicate white roses and fragrant vIoletB, which was placed just over the entrance to the middle aisle. The effect was much heightened by the ? pendant baskets of evergreens, laden with flow- ? ers of every hue, arid disposed la the most graceful 1 manner to relieve the background of the dark - evergreen, decorations. The flowers were all fresh, and their subdued fragrance added another charm to the chaste and appropriate dressing. J The music was delightful, and the trio which opened the service being especially well executed, i The sermon by the pastor, Rev. 0. S. Vedder, was delivered In hts usual affecting and happy pzjle i from the tejxt : "1 am the R?surrection and the t Light"-St. John, XL. 25th verse. i THE CATHEDRAL. J The catholic churches, stripped of theemblems I of mourning with which they hal lately b cen I clad, assumed their brightest and mo3tjoyou3 t aspect. The decorations, however, were contlned, c Ia the main, to the altars and sanctuaries. At the dihedral Chapel. Queen street, the cen? tral altar was ablaze with tapers gleaming forth from amidst a dense mass of fragrant spring dowers with which ail the more prominent por? tions or the sanctuary were adorned. Pontifica! Sigh Ma?s was solemnized by Bishop Lynch, as? sisted by Rev. Messrs. H. P. Northrop and Shad? ier. The Bishop also preached an excellent ser? mon from the Gospel of the day (St. Mark, xvi, l-6v.) The singing by the choir was especially Sue, lucludlug Haydn's Coronation Mass, an O Salutaris, by Verni, and an appropriate selection 'rum the Messiah. The music at Vespers, In the 0 afternoon, was also very fine. * sr.

At night there was a sermon by Bishop j' jynch. There Was a crowded congregation at all he services of the day. THE WENTWORTH STREET LUTHERAN. The interior of this church was not decorated, 8 is usually lt has been on the annual Eastc-r festl 'al. Near the pulpit, and supported by the bap- n ismal loot, was a large basket of roses of all col- C ns, which attracted more attention, and appear? ed more beautiful, from being the only floral oma nent In the body of the church. The attendance vas very large, and the galleries and body of the p .burch were crowded with the congregation and d i large number of visitors. The services were J iond acted by the Rev. W. S.

The church was largely attended. Easter Sunday has always been a German festival, and St. John's bore testimony to the pious feeling 1 ?vhlch actuated all who rejoiced In the com nemora loa of the resurrection of the Saviour. It c ivas beautifully ornamented with wreathes and lowers. The galleries, pillars, aad the body or |j .he church were decorated with garlauds and estoons of evergreens, moss and flo wers. Each 'handeller had suspended from it a mossy basket Hied with flowers, aad the globes were capped c ivitti floral pyramids. The altar was fragrant ( with flowers arranged most artistically.

THE 1TB3T PRESBYTERIAN (SCOTCH.) The services at this church were conducted by 1 the Rev. Mr. Edwards, assisted by the pastor, 1 the Rev. Dr. Forrest.

The usual Sunday services took place in this church, conducted by the Rev. J. T. McBryde, as appointed by the Charleston Presbytery. The: verse of the 14th chapter - of St. John's Gos "Il-yalove Me, keep1 My commandments," nlshed the sabject of his discourse, which j comprehensive in treatment and interesting character. It showed the attempts of rec speculative theorists and investigators to efl changes in the text of the Bible, and illustra the difference between the discoveries in nato 3cien.ce, which is progressive tn its character, a the theories of those metaphysical triflers TI would limit the Almighty and measure the Unite.

He will graduate rrom the Theo og al Seminary in Columbia next week. CITADEL SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH. Tlie pastor of this church, the Rev. Dr. Wlnklei ook for his text II Tim., 2d chapter and 8th verse 'Remember that Jesus Christ was raised froi he dead." In the introduction he referred to th Saster celebrations which were then taking plac a so many churches. Ritualism regarded th lay as of prime importance. It was the plvo iround which all the "moveable feasts" revolved L difference as to the time of its celebration wa he pom: of the wedge ihat divided the Gree ind Latin Churches, the former retaining the ol amputation of the season as the Hebrews did he latter modifying it so as to bring the day o he passion on Friday and that of the resarrec lon on Sunday. The Scriptures neither condemi tor require the observance. They enjoin no an ii versarles of any sort; and as to the doctrln low commemorated, magnify tts importance b; laking every "Lord's Day" a memorial of thc esurrectlon. Every Sabbath congregation cele rates an Easter, the morning when llgbt brok? rom the tomb and dawned upon the City of God ind every Christian ls required to set forth In bb aptlsm the Lord's Resurrection, as he will pro laim its efficacy when arising from the grave be /act itself ls more sacred than all its exp res lons, anniversaries, churches with floral pompe f spring, service of prayer and hymn ascending j the Saviour, Ac. The preacher Illustrated the duty of remember lg a risen Saviour by commenting on the conduct f the women at the sepulchre. The resurrection lust be connected In grateful thought with thc ^demotion which lt consummated. It must bc welt upon with tender reverence, and it must ex rclse ? practical Influence on the life. Its place i the devotional system o*r tibold churches was lustrated by a quotation from the venerable attn hymn, " Aurora luc?s rutil?t," which as been sung lu the paschal service for a thou ind years. The effects attending such a recollection of the Isen one were then dwelt upon ; lt strengthens il th, produces loyal and active piety, and com? ets in death. The discourse, of which we give lie briefest sketch, was closed by the observation li?t as the ancient passover was Intended for a ravening nation, the festival of the resurrection ras Intended for Christians as a Pilgrim Church, .nd this was the rule to guide believers on their mrney ; "If ye be risen with Christ, seek those tiings that are above." The application of this nie was then Insisted upon, to the pleasures, the nslnesses and the alms of life. The thought or risen Christ would afford to man his highest leal,would purify all his sortal relations would en obie every earthly calling, and wonld prepare for Itlzenshlp In that world swayed oy the sceptre r our ascended Lord. TRINITY (M. 8) CHURCH, HASEL STREBT. A large congregation was lu attendance at this lace of worship, the Interior of which ls still raped In mourning, lu memory of the late Bishop . 0. Andrew. The services were opened with Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day," sung by the hoir. This was followed by au appropriate pray r and scriptural lessons. A discourse, of a hlgh r Interesting and Impressive character, and m ccordance with this particular occasion, was hen delivered by the pastor, the Rev. J. M. Gar .sie, from 1st Corinthians, xv, 20. In this dls ourse the eloquent and. learned speaker dwelt ri th mach force upon the death, burial and res .rreccion of Christ, referring to the various mani ^stations of the Saviour to his apostles', and the acred'rs junctions conveyed to them; and por raying, with great earnestness, the duty of ac eptlng the Christ anity extended and offered to U men. The discourse was attentively listened 0 by the large auditory, and was marked by the es'arch which characterizes all the efforts or this lifted divine. The service*} tuen closed with the isnal benediction. THE UNITARIAN' CHURCH. Tho architecture or this church, or chapel, SB he English would call it, is so peculiar and elabe ate that a general decoration ls unnecessary, 'he most striking feature of the Interior is the idling of the nave, being, lt ls believed, the only rork of the kind in this country. It la of that pe? culiar Gothic work styled "fan tracery." The lellcate enrichments, the almost numberless .reties Intersecting each other, the gracefully ailing pendants, all filled with the richest trac? ery, are of themseT1! es ornament sufficient, and omblned with the subdued and yet glowing ool irlng rrom the stained glass windows, make it tand of Itself a bright Easter offering. But busy ,nd loving hands were eager to add to Its beauty, .nd they performed their part well throughout he chanceL The pulpit was dressed with ever ;reens and white roses, with Just enoagh of tue hadowy graceful drapery of forest moss to be In :eeplng with the Gothic architecture. The Com cu-don table also, with its pure white flower iuds, seemed still and quiet, like a heart at rest, n contrast stood the rustic cross, glowing with 1 wreath or floral beauty. It was four feet a height, and stood ou a mound of moss, slightly nclinlng towards the pulpit, with a low terrace >r steps, moss covered, at its foot. This cross vas draped with evergreens, over which was hrown a brilliant garland of roses of every hue ind shade, thc Easter coloring of hope and Joy. nplace of the usual studied decorations of the lilians and galleries, the congregation, before the lervlce, including little children, brought, almost :ach or them, an offering of flowers, and laid lt kt the foot of the cross.
