The Inclement weather did not deter mem
bers of the Catholic churches from turning
out In force. The services were similar at
all the churches and the same may be said
of the Ilor.il decorations It was a day of
much solemnity -with the Catholics Spocl.il
attention was given to the music , \\hlch
was of the highest order. The lllumln itlons
ot the altar V.CTU more elnboiate than on
ordinary occasions and added much to the
beauty of the Intel lot. The sermons unl-
veisallj dealt with the Jesbonb of the
resurrection and the precepts and teachings
of Christ.
St I'hllomena's cathedral was radiant with
light and thronged with worshlpots an houi
before dawn of Easter morning. Pontifical
high mass was celebrated by lit Hev.

hour and the unpiopltlous weather the
r hiirch was crowded The service was beau
tiful and Impressive and was followed with
the closest attention bj the congiegation
Apart from Its devotional chaiacter. the
hccno was a picture as pleasing as It was
inspiring. The spotless white marble- the
main altar foimed an effective background
for the lloral decorations These consisted
of Caste" lilies , American Beauty roses and
palms. Around and among the floncrs and
palms iwcro hundreds of burning candles ,
Hiving forth a Hood of mellow light which
glowed and sparkled on the white and gold
vestments of the clerg > . The side altars
were also banked with Jlovvers and illuml
natcd The whole Intel lor , painted and
stenciled two weeks ago , In drab and vari
ous shades of brown , harmonlred effective ! }
with the altai decorations and with the il
luminations formed a strange contrast to the
Tailing snow and < laikncss without. Com
municants were unusually numerous. Prob
ably Ihreo-fourths of the attendants partook
of the fcacraniont. The service concluded
with the bestowal of the pontifical blessing
bv Bishop Seannell. Low masses followed
at 7 , 8 and ! l a m , and solemn high mass
at 10 30 , celebrated by Ilev. James Stenson

hvered by tha pastor , Ilov. rather McGov-

claimed the giand tidings of the day. A
beautiful harmony existed throughout all
the services Hev John E English preached
on tha life und chaructei of Christ
WorHhlpors at St John's had unexpected
obstacles to the beauty of the service
Workmen huvo been engaged In repainting
.nil decorating the Interior of the church ,
and It had been hoped the contract would
ln completed b } Easter , but It was not.
Scaffolding reaching fiom the lloor nearl }

Interior , while the odor of fresh paint com
bated with the fragrance of the llowers for

All the -Methodist Episcopal churches ob-
soived the day with more or less preten
sion in the way of special music and floral
denotations In manv of them however ,
the special celebration was turned over to
the children of the Sunday schools , who pre

suasion there was a. noticeable absence of
Iho somewhat elaborate lloral decorations
that have been features of previous Easter
celebrations With exterior conditions that
iveio mm o tuggostlvo of Christmas than of
the annlversiry of the Resurrection , there
was llttlo incentive to pile altar -and chancel
high with Howcis and blooming plants , and
In most casc > s the offerings were limited tea
a cluster of lilies and palms Immediate ! )
flanking the pulpit All the congregations
expended exceptional eftort In the prepara
tion of musical programs and some of the
most beautiful of the numerous micred
compositions that are Inspired tiy the motive
of the Resurrection wore magnificently
rendered by the choirs The eormoiw were
uniformly reminiscent of the event of which
the day was the anniversary and each pastor
presented Ills own conception of the lecbou
of Immortalit ) as it Is taught t - the Btor >
of the first U.ister daj In a numbei of
the churches the usual serviica were sup
plcmentcd by Easter exercises by the chll
dren of ihe Sundaj schools and wherever
It wo i possible the da > was made the oc-
fadlon for the reception of such npw mem
bers iiB were applicants for admlMlon to
the Aplrilual fold.
At the Plrst Presbyterian church the cele
bration was mutable on account of the ex
ceptionally pleasing musical program that
was the most striking feature of both the

rendered by the quartet consisting of Mrs
C. M Wllholm , soprano. Miss listelln Urown ,
contralto , Mr. L C Hazleton , tenor , and
Mr L. 11 Copeland , basso The morning
anthem was Harnbj's "Awake Up , My
Olorj , " ami this was followed by Mlas
Urown's cxqulHllo rendition of the contralto
solo , "Eve Hath Not Seen , " from "Tho Holy

Martin Urown. The organ numbers , whleJi
Included the Easter chorus from "Caval-

lilies at the right ot the pulpit.
The dlKCouiso wns delivered b > Hev. S F
Stein of Lincoln , who spoke of the Resurrec
tion ns the "proof of our immortality and

vailing sentiment of the day pervaded song
