Sunday.
Easter Sunday vrns a bright nnd bcnutlful
day , a tilling close to the Lontcn season. It
wns observed In tlio churches with more
than ordinary ceremony. At all places great
crowds were In attendance ; and at some ,
people wcro turned from the doors.
St. I'hllomoim'H.
St. Phltomcnn's cathedral was thronged
nt each of the four masses , beginning at 5.
n. m. , and closing at 12BO : p. in. The decor
ations wcro simple , yet beautiful. * The main
altar was tastefully draped with wreaths of
nmilax. Potted plants and cut flowers were
profusely distributed on spotless shelves ,
producing a delightful effect on a back
ground of pure will to marbto. Tlio sldo
nttars were also profusely decorated with
flowers and wronths.
The church was crowded to Its utmost ca
pacity when the first note of the Kyrlo an
nounced the beginning of pontifical high
mass at 100. : ! ! The latter was
celebrated by lit. Hov. Bishop
O'Connor , assisted by Fathers Kelley ,
McCarthy , Doxnchcr , Colanerl nnd Carroll.
A number of acolytes , attired In soutanes
nnd surplices , were in charge of Mr. Koonoy ,
who acted as waster of ceremonies. The
brilliant robes of the celebrants , the decora
tions and the Joyful music wcro in accord
with the great Christian event , typifying the
risen Kcdeomor. An interesting explanatory
address was delivered by Hcv. Father Mc
Carthy , In which ho scored the apostles of
Paganism , who seek to rob mankind of the
consolation of religion by repudiating divine
revelation , uprooting faith , and substituting
for the joys of eternity the shallow pretense
that this life ends It all.
The choir rendered Mcrcailantc's cele
brated "Mass In 15 flat , " onoof the most difll-
cult and varied compositions In Catholic
music. The orchestral score was written by
Prof. Hofmun , and the music wns delight
fully rendered by .his orchestra of ton
plfccos. The miisB does not posses the majesty
and volume of Mozart's Twelfth , which was
sung last Easter , but affords excellent scope
for combinations of voices. "Vcnl Creator , "
bass solo , by Jules Lumbard , with flute ac
companiment ; "Qul Tollls , " trio , by Messrs.
Arnold , Kcnzio and Lumbard , and "Kt
Unum Sanctum , " trio , by Messrs. Klnzic ,
McCreary and Jjumbard , deserve particular
mention. Luzzi's "Avo Maria , " soprano
solo , was sung with charming sweetness and
power by Misa Fnnnio Arnold. In fact , the
musical programme wns excellently ren
dered , In both vocal and instrumental parts ,
adding much to the well deserved fnmo of
St. Philomena's ' choir. Prof. Hofman
wielded the baton , and Miss Maggia Swift
presided at the organ.
St. Mnry's Avenue Congregational.
The ratline in front of .the chancel and
choir of the St. Mary's nvcnuo Congrega
tional church was converted into a beautiful
hedge of white and green. No flowers were
used save those of snowy whiteness. Lilies ,
roses and chrysanthemums constituted In the
main the floral decorations. The various
desks and the pulpit were draped in smilux
while on the top of each stood vases contain
ing largo bouquets of white roses. The music
for the occasion was very beautiful and ap
propriate , particularly the alto and tenor
solos. llio largo room was comfortably
filled with worshipers. Uov. Willard Scott ,
the pastor , preached an ollectivo "sermon on
the resurrection of Christ. At the close of
the service the church took another sig-
mflcent stop forward by raising § 11,230 ,
toward the payment of their new house of
worship. The amount aslccd for by the pas
tor was $10,000 , which was overrun by the
generous givers before the treasurer wns
able to bring the flood to a stop.
The church building is a largo structure of
two-story pattern , the nudionco room being
in the second story , with commodious chupel
'
ro'oms In the basement , which is nearly out
of the ground. The audience room is the
largest In the city , seating TOO In the pows ,
without the use of clmirs. It Is a churchly
looking room , with a chuncel of ancient
ecclesiastical pattern , which gives the whole
dignified and nnd worshipful character.
The cost or the whole , as stated by Mr.
Fred W. Gray , the trustee , was § 31,000 , to
which must bo added $ . ' 1,000 for furniture put
in thus fur. Of this the present needs were
$10.000 , nnd n call was made for that amount ,
which was quickly pledged. The largest giv
ers were :
Mr. W. J. Council. $1,200 ; Mr. F. W. Gray ,
$1,100 ; Mr. Samuel Burns , SSUO ; Kov. Wil-
liird Scott , ? 500 ; Mr. James Forsyth , $300 ;
Mr. J\\V. Oriftith , S500 ; Mr. U. E. Gaylord ,
tlKor , J200 ; Mr. F. W. Taylor , 5250 ; Mr. D.
V . Sholcs , $200 ; Mr. Juines Vilos , jr. , $200 ;
Dr . A. S. Ullllngs. $150 ; Mr. E. A. Mills
SIM , ) ; Mr. O. W. Tillson , $150 ; Mr. W. A
Hlgglns. 150.
In addition , tlioro wcro twenty pledges of
$100 each , and many smaller sums. This
church is not yet quite six years old , and was
begun with its present pastor. It has received -
„ ceived nearly four hundred members , uiid in
cludes some of the best-known people of the
city.
. Christian Clittroh.
The Insurrection was the thetuo of Key. J.
U. Johnson , ut the Walnut Hill Christian
church , yesterday morning. The speaker
said : The steamer Dunmurh , with near a
thousand souls on board , recently sailed
from Norway IJound for the American shoro.
That great stoumor has since been scon , her
fires extinguished , her mighty engines pow-
eqjhess , apparently on the point of plunging
to the bottom of tlio ocean. There wcro no
signs o' Hfo on that vessel so recently teem
ing with human beings. But where now are
the many hutidrcda of souls } Are they nt
the bottom of the sen , are they drifting In
open boats , at the mercy of wind and wave )
Huvo they been curried by some passing ves
sel to a dlBtaut Island of the seal Who can
toll ? Ilow many weary , anxious nnd sorrowing
rowing hearts would bo glad to know.
Whatever bo their fate , it Is true of us , that
nvory year millions of our race ouibnrlc on
the unknown sea , voyagorn to "tho undis
covered country from wliosu bourne no trav
eler returns. " And all our hope of ever
meeting the departed , hinges on the resur
rection of Jesus. "II Christ bo not raised
our faith Is vain. "
If there bo a God , Ho holds the power of
life and death In Ills hand. If tlioro bn u
happy land to meet the aspirations and yearn-
lnts of the human spirit , wo can readily bo-
Hove a good ( Joel would reveal the fact to
anxious souls hud conllriu it by ample proof.
Has God dona tblst
Nearly two thousand years ago a baba was
born in u stable at Dcthloucm. In tlmo the
babe grew Into manhood , was arrested as a
criminal and crucified between two thieves.
The mangled body was buried m a rock-
hewn tomb. Now behold a miraclol To-day
hundreds of millions of people , in Europe , m
Asia , in Africa , In America , in the Isles of
the , son , are thinking of that scpulchor I 13o-
.Tore His death this man Jesus said : ' 'A
Wicked and adulterous generation seeks a
Blgn but no sign shall bo given It but the
Ign of Jona . As Jonas was thrco days in
the whale's belly the Soli of Man shall bo
three days In the heart of the earth. " Jesus
itukcd ull on that wonderful sign , and if ho
arose not on the thlid day onr hopes of ,
heaven and immortality uro dashed to the
earth forever.
That tlio body of Jesus was buried , that a
great stouo was < > lace at the mouth of the
sepulcher , that a company of soldiers wont
placed about the tomb to guard the body ,
uobody has ever denied. That toe body
was 'missingon the third day nobody
lias aver denied. Tlio womnn visited
the opcnnd and empty sopulohcr.
'Xho apostles all ) saw Jesus after
tils resurrection. Doubting Thomas lilui.
Belt was convinced. Mora than tlvo hundred
disciples at once saw their Lord. All these
teslllled to his resurrection and that , too , In
ibo Xaoo of bitter denunciation and persecu
tion , nnd many seated their testimony with
their blood. To doubt tholr testimony we
mus either suppose them to have been mir
aculously smitten with blindness or insanity.
There could bo no stronger proof of the
resurrection than this. Shortly after Hii
death In the very city In which ho hnd been
condemned , crucillcd undburiodnnd the body
inndo secure by n Kuunl of soldiers , the em
boldened disciples openly proclaimed the
resurrection of JCSUB nnd supported their
clnltn by such proof that thousands of people
in n nlnglo day accepted tholr testimony In
tlio fnco of threats , Imprisonment and death.
'And from that day to this the story of the
open sepulcher nnd the risen Lord has gone
on conquering nnd to conquer until every
great nation is illuminated by the sunlight
of heaven that burst through the open grnvo
of Jesus , and to-day every mighty potentate
bows the knee to the babe of Uctblohora.
Trinity Cntiicdrnl.
Trinity cathedral wns packed to its doors
nt the 11 o'clock service nnd many people
were obliged to turn nwny nnd seek other
plncos In which to worship.
Thontmosphcro of the church was heavy
with the porfuma exhaled from the bank of
( lowers. Tno chnncol nnd nltnr were one
mass of blossoms of varied hues. The lltnny
desk , the lectran , the baptismal font , the
altar nnd nil the rending ilcsic were beauti
fully decorated with llowcra nnd Binilnx.
On cither sldo of the litany desk , stately
lilies bloomed nnd sweet hcllotrono sent
forth itH dnlicnto fragrance. Hoses beautified
the recesses of the chnueel windows , nnd
potted plants inndo n veritable garden of
llowcrs of-tho church.
When tlip-whllo-robcd choir nnd the sur-
pllccd priests enmo out , from the vestry nnd
took their positions the sccno was ono of Im
posing grandeur.
The service was high celebration of the
Holy Eucharist , conducted by the Very ttov.
C. U. Gardner , nssistcd by Uov. T. C. Urndy.
The music wns simply crand , and especially
Is this true of the To Deum , sung by the en
tire choir of nearly fifty voices. Mrs. Cotton
sang for the offertory the anthem , "I Know
thnt My Redeemer Llvcth , " very beauti
fully. The sermon by the dean was n glad ,
triumphant laudation of the risen Lord.
The other services nt the cathedral during
the day were early celebration nt 8:45 : n. in. ,
children's service nt 2:30 : p. m. and festival
service In the evening.
First Presbyterian.
While it Is not the custom of this church
to make nn elaborate or particularly special
effort on Easter , the services there were
both appropriate nnd interesting. Tlio only
noticeable display as a distinguishing feature
of the occasion consisted of nn exquisitely
arranged bank of flowers , calla lilies nnd
potted plants about the pulpit nnd choir box ,
while the clinndollors and railings supported
quantities of smilnx wound in fantastic
shapes around them. The congregation
llllcd every seat nn\l much standing room ,
now hats and bonnets adorned the feminine
bends , and altogether , the sccno presented nt
11 o'clock wns sufllcicntly impressive to re
mind ono of tlio historical ovcnt
so closely allied to the worship
of nil religious sects nnd denominations , llio
regular choir rendered nn excellent pro
gramme of music , nniT while the collection
was bcintr talicn Miss Bertha Unl.vs uang , ns
a solo. "Tho Resurrection , " by Ilolden , in
splendid style. Her voice was clear , strong ,
musical and sympathetic.
Uov. W. J. Hurshu presided. To him the
day was doubly important. In addition to
its religious specialties , wns coupled the
twelfth anniversary of his imstorato at that
church. His sermon , therefore , was devoted
principally to n roviow-of the work accom
plished since his installment ns the pastor.
When ho tool : hold the congregation was not
only small and poor , but divided by dis
sensions. But ho kept , his counsel , soon
reunited the contending factions , labored for
now converts and in a short time
hnd increased the nttcndanco until the
capacity of the church was wholly 'insuf '
ficient to meet the requirements. As n re
sult of Mr. Harshn's twelve years , work
eleven now churches and six mission schools
have been established m this city and South
Omabn ; his congregation has grown until
tho.roll of membership now uumbors 1,0-11 ,
while the totnl list of communicants in the
prescribed territory foots up 14,031. , In that
period , also , the money receipts us contribu
tions to the board for regular work and mis
cellaneous collections amounts to the mag
nificent sum of ? 97oys. As a business and
financial review the sermon was rather re
markable In its tone nnd interest.
At the evening service Mr. Harsha had for
the subject of his discourse , "Was Jesus of
Nazareth Ucully liaised Prom the Deadl"
Ilountzo Memorial.
The congregation of the ICountzo Memorial
church was well represented at the morning
services. At nn early hour people began to
arrive , nnd when the hour of service was
reached , the largo gathering was inter
spersed with Eitstor bonnets and gay ap
parel. The pulpit was a parterre of ferns
and flowers. Resting in the back ground , on
canvas-colored cloth , was a design repre
senting the holy sepulchre , where the body
of Christ was law. At the entrance to the
sepulchre wns n largo stone , representing the
slab which lay at the entrance after the
Savior had risen from the dead. The im
mediate surrounding was covered with
flowers and evergreen , wrought into beauti
ful'designs. Extending across the pulpit
was a semi-circle bedecked with evergreen
slirubs , and bearing the motto , "Ho is Not
Hero ; Ho Has Risen. "
The service was opened with a hymn
sung by a quartette led by Mrs. Mar
tin Cnhn. Rov. J. S. Uotwuilcr then as
sumed his familial- place in the pulpit and
preached a sermon on the subject , "Christ is
Risen. " In dealing with his subject , the
orator dwelt to a considerable- degree on ttio
life of the Savior of maukind and the perse
cutions which ho endured while upon earth.
The service throughout wns interesting
nnd was preached according to the occasion.
Din the evening Rev. isir. Uutwuilur
preached on the subject , "Tomb in the Gar
den. " The attendance- taxed tbo capacity of
this ho.uso of worship.
Central Unltctl Pr csliyterlmi.
Easter Is not recognized In the United
Presbyterian creed nor does tbo day'occupy
a plnco In Its calendnr. Nevertheless , Dr.
Williamson preached n sermon bearing on
the resurrection. Ho ehoso for his topic the
query of that nfllictcd man of Uz the philo
sophical Job "If n man die , shall bo live
again I" nnd answered the question with this
verso Irom II. Corinthians , xv , 20 : "Hut
now Is Christ risen from the dead and become -
como the flrst-fruits of them that slept. "
In opening his discourse , the doctor re
ferred to the fact that there was no scrip
tural authority for cithur Christinas or
Eastnr , but custom had aollncd these days
and it w.ts well to diauuss the birth , death
and resurrection of Christ and tholr bearing
on Christianity. Ho also cnlled attention to
the Inconsistency of the date of Enstor.
Christmas Is always on the ono date while
Eastnr may bo almost any dale in March or
April ,
The choir rendered In n very nccoptnblo
manner tbo nnthcin "Mnko Ills Prnlso
Ulorlous. " The music U nlwnys good in
this church , being laigoly furnished by the
Arlons. The congregational singing Is ns
flno ns any In the city.
The ordlnnnco of Infant baptism was nd-
ministered during the service.
Methodist Rplscopixl.
At the First M. E. church the Easter Sun
day celebration , with Its grand nntl gladsome
muslo nnd profuse display of ruro and beau
tiful ( lowers , filling chnncol , nltar nnd audi
torium with tno sweetness of their delicious
perfumes , was n conspicuous ovcnt. In front
of the nltar was n bank of enunciation lilies ,
with graceful , bcndlntr curves , nnd artistic
groups of rows .everywhere Interspersed ,
making an effect both pleasing and pictur
esque. Behind the nltar tlio nrchcd panel
was n mas of smilux , their lone , fibrils droopIng -
Ing until they touched the lloor , ntul In the
center of this solid green were the words , in
snowy letters , "Christ is Klsen. " All nbout
was un environment of flowers , most promi
nent iimong which were callas , azaleas , prim
roses , rush leaved daffodils , lilacs , trailing
asparagus and maiden's hair. Uov. House's
sermon was a beautiful and scholarly nffalr ,
and listened to with rapt attention by nn un
usually largo cungrcgntlon.
The choir consists of Mrs. Dr. Bnldrldgo ,
soprano ; Miss Frances Hoedor , contralto ;
Mr. U. W. Brockcnndgo , tenor ; Prof. Leo

Whlto lilies and heliotrope bedecked the
the nltar nt St. Barnabas. The services nt
the little church wcro more than usually im
pressive. High mass wns celebrated nt 11
o'clock , with nil the beautiful ceremonies
and pomp of the church's' liturgy. Tlio
music was splendidly rendered by the robed
choir of about twenty voices. Tlio anthems
rang with triumph , and the whole service
was permeated with a feeling of cladncss.
The communion was largely attended. Rov.
John Williams officiated , and preached tno
sermon. It was brief , but eloquent. "Wo
arc not hero to-day , " stud ho , "alono to con
sider the resurrection of n magnificent Jew.

All Saints.
This church , nt Twenty-sixth nnd Hownrd
streets , wns crowded , but them was no great
display of Easter bonnets. The Interior of
tbo edifice was gorgeously decorated with
fragrant flowers. The decorations consisted
principally of pinic hyacinths , Easter lilies
and roses. In front of tlio nltar there were
100 plants and palms. The cross on the nltar
was decorated with pink hyacinths ; the arch
before the rood screen was covered with
lilies and white roses brought from Califor
nia for the service ; the processional cross
was surrounded with lilies tied with n white
satin knot ; the hymn table contained
MarechnlNoil roses. Around the altar were
four largo vases of lilies. In the pulpit
were living flowers and palms ; the commun
ion table was festooned with smilax. The
litany desk was covered with hyacinths and
white and pink roses , nnd the baptismal
font , in the rear of the nislo near the en
trance , was covered with white and crimson
tulips. In its entirety the floral decoration
was very beautiful.
'iho choir consisted of ' forty-two voices ,
fortytnalo and two contraltos.
The Rev. Louis Xahnur , rector of the
church , preached an appropriate sermon on
the resurrection.
Ncxvmnii M. E. Cluiroli.
The decorations in tbo Newman M. E.
church , on St. Mary's avenue , were simple.
From the corners of the church to the pulpit
were hung festoons of smilux , fastened with
whlto lilies. In front of the rostrum were
fuclisiaslilies and heliotrope , while n bouquet
of aright colored tulips graced the sacred
desk.
The pastor , Rev. J. E. Ensign , took for his
text , Job xivll : , "If a man dlo shall ho llvn
again. " The speaker powerfully portrayed
the Bufferings of Christ on the cross nearly
1900 years iigo and the glorious resurrection
on Easter morn. A glorious awakening , ho
stated , also nwaltcu all those who dlo in the
Lord.

Tlio Iliisamn Jews' Enstor.
There wus trouble again yesterday , in the
Jewish synagogue on the corner of Twelfth
and Jackson , ever the crucifixion of Christ.
The remarks of the rabbi proved too liberal
for tlio majority of the hearers who rose al
most en inasso nnd objected to sucli doc
trines. A few sided with the rabbi und the
discussion became so loud and demonstrative -
tivo that Officer Rowden had to bo called in
to quell the incipient riot. No arrests wcro
made.
