Undaunted by th blsk proinlers of Sat
urday Easter dawned fair and serene with
plesaant temperature and a cloudless
ky. ' The strong north wind of the day
before had fallen away to a gentle brceie
and the lendpr green of (trass and early
flora were greeted hy R da' ,,,at seemed
In keeping: with the season.
It was an Eimter In which the mystic
theme of life might be aroused to thous
and Imagining. On every hand was the
physical manifestation of new birth. Na
ture could not have been more symbolical
of the- gospel "of Immortality and hope.
"Christ la risen" rang the bells In a hundred
spires; "Etemnl life to you and me" sang
hundreds of 'thousands of hearts. Catholic
and Trotestant worshipped the Christ, risen,
triumphant over death and the grave. In
whom Is life everlasting.
Easter gowns ami Easter bonnets could
tie worn without fear of harm from wind
and rain and with fair comfort. Spring
nlta were garb sufficient to ward off the
slight chill.
Omnhi't Easter this year was gala In
every aeuse. With boundless material pros
perity, the presence of huge business
houses and tiny cottsges under construc
tion on every street, with no event of a
generally calamitous nature to sadden the
public, the festlveJ air was not strange
to account for.
Spiritually the promises of everlasting
life. In nature the return of spring and re
vivified trees and grass and flowers, ma
terially the beginning of the open season
and the expansion of the clty'a marts and
dwellings. Intellectually affording contem

and body and food for thankfulness.
Flowers abounded. Easter lilies were
uaed In a profusion. All 'the churches had
exceptionally boautiful and elaborate serv

There were evidences of comfort and
plenty and a city clean and Inviting after
copious rain and invigorating breexes.
PRETTY MIBIC AIHB THE SERMON
Vesper BerTleea at St. Mary's Arena
fonarreant Innal Imprrn.lTe,
The Easter vesper services at St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church Sunday af
ternoon were beautiful and impressive. The
altar was profusely adorned with palms
and Easter lilies. The church was crowded
to Its utmost capacity. The theme of the
service was "The Triumph of the Cross,"
divided Into three parts, embracing tho
entire Passion Week beginning with Palm
Sunday and then sub-divided into tho
Triumph of Righteous Indignation, the
Triumph of Reason and Rebuke, the Doom
rrom Mount Olivet, the Day of Quiet, the
Triumph of Obedience, the Apparent Fail
ure, The Betrayal, The Judgment Hall,
The Crucifixion. The Dark Before the
Dawn, The Birth of Hope, the Triumph of
Faith, The Resurrection and the World's
New Joy, This was the seventeenth Eas
ter service given in Omaha under Mr.
Thomas Kclley's direction as choirmaster
and leader.
The sermon by Rev. Lucius O. Balrd was
brief and from the text John xx:29. He
compared the last utterances of Ingersoll
the agnostic, and Tennyson, the Christian
poet, and asked which would the world
moat prefer, Ingersoll's "We do not know,
but hops and wait." or Tennyson'a "Whan
crossing the bar, I hope to see my pilot
fact to face." Dr. Baird said:
"It has been asked why was not Chris
tianity a dead Issue with the death of
Christ? It Is because Christ rose from the
dead. and the resurrection Is an established
fact. And Christianity shall endure as
long as man shall endure."

BISHOP WII.I.HM" AT ST. PHILIP'S
('IrmilUa f Class Part of the
Raster Sen Ire There.
Plshop Williams conducted the confirma
tion services of fen young people at the
rhurch of St. Philip the Deacon last night,
the ceremonies being Joined with an ap
propriate obeervsnce of Raster. Enster
lilies and cut flowers were on the altar
and the Impressive service of the EpIscopM
church was carried out. At the close of
the confirmation service Rlshop Williams
prenrhed to the class on the foundations of
religious life. In part, he said:
"The foundations of our religious life
must not be neglected. The house must
not be built up In the air without a founda
tion, for that would be a balloon, wafted
and blown about by every wind. One of
these balloons has Just lately been pricked
and one of the greatest religious fakirs of
modern times hss been exposed. I know
him to be a fakir, because I lived near him
as a neighbor for a long time. There Is a
vast difference between a religion based on
the firm foundation of doctrine and a
modern religion based on human Ignorance.
There are certain principles we mut use
ss the scientist uses certain principles
when he goes out Into the unknown and
upon which he bases his conjectures. These
principles are given to us In pairs. They
are repentance and faith, baptism and lay
ing on of hands, resurrection and Judgment.
They are gradations In our progress toward
God.
"The church hss been accused of look
ing too much toward the other world and
neglecting the things of this world. But
the pendulum la apt to swing the other
way. We can do little good In this world
unless we keep our aspirations on the
other world. We are today confronted by
conditions that threaten supernatural re
ltglon. Our parochial affairs are out of
proportion to our personal piety. We are
so busy administering the affairs of the
church we have no time to say our
prayers. We say money, a better church
organization and crurch administration
are what the church needs. While I do
not underestimate the value of these we
might have all of them and the kingdom
of God would not be extended one Inch.
Our first need la repentanco, faith, bap
tism, the remission of sins.
FAITH BOR1 or CHRIST'S RISIR
Inspires fw MoTement and Rests In
Divine Savior.
Beautiful Easter exercises were rendered
yesterday at the Frst Baptist church.
Special music was furnished at both morn
ing and evening services, which were
largely attended. Dr. Conley's morning
theme was "The Resurrection Faith.''
The music was under the direction of Mra.
Andrews, organist.
Speaking of faith In the resurrection of
Jesus Christ and of all mankind. Dr. Con
ley said:
"The resurrection was the beginning of a
new Jalth In the world. That empty tomb
marked the place from which went forth
a new movement inspired by better faith
than anything that ever existed before.
"The new faith was spiritual. The dis
ciples had been seeking an earthly king
dom and leader, but now they saw his
higher and spiritual character. They
realised that the first thing was to seek
victory over aln and fellowship with God.
The resurrection faith does not dwell In
literalism and materialism, neither Is It car
ried away with transcendentalism and
mysticism; but seea body and spirit, earth
anrt heaven united. , ,
TThe new .. faith was also marked by
breadth. The disciples had taken a narrow
view and had partaken of, the exclusive,
nesa and bigotry of their times, but the
resurrection brought them out Into a large
place and prepared them to hear the Maa
ter Bay, "Go ye therefore, and make dis
ciples of all the nations." He had con
quered death for all the world and the
stupendous fact of the resurrection could
not be for one little nation, but was for
all mankind. That empty tomb waa the
cradle of faith which grasps with clear
ness and power the brotherhood of man.
"The resurrection fulth believes with
great confidence In the divinity of Jesus,
Thomas' exclamation was the involuntary
cry of every heart: "My Lord and My
God." The two doctrines go together. To
believe in the resurrection is to believe In
the divinity of Christ. To reject either Is
to reject the other. The world needs not
merely a living Christ, but a risen Christ.
The resurrection faith is spiritual, com
prehensive and rests in a divine Savior."
FOI T OF SOI L'S HOPE OK Fl'TIRE
On Reaarrertlon Rests All Promise of
Eternal Life.
The Easter celebration at Trinity cathe
dral began at t o'clock Sunday morning
with holy communion, sermon and musical
program. At 10 o'clock .there was a second
communion and service, at which Dean
Beecher preached on "The Resurrection"
and the choir of seventy-five voices ren
dered an excellent program, in the course of
which Mrs. Ben Stanley sang a solo,
"Angels Roll the Rock Away." Dean
Beecher said In part:
"In the truth of the resurrection rests all
our hopes and all our ambit lone for the
soul s future. It tells us the soul s goal
Is not the grave, but that It will live
through the broad expanse of endless fu
ture beyond. Heaven "is brought to life by
the divine Inward consciousness of the soul's
immortality.
"This Is meant by the power of the resur
rection; that He who waa all-powerful
endured the tortures and taunts of men
without exerting His power, then came out
triumphant over death, before which all
men stand In fear and trembling. His sub
mission waa to give to us the glorious
blessing of Immortality. He was a man
of our flesh, and for us He endured all
bitter trials and gave His life all this that
that we might be able to ca,rry with us
the blessed assurance of the life beyond
the grave. He not only carried us In the
flesh to His resting place In the grave, but
from the tomb lie carried us up to realms
of eternal glory."
The Sunday school held exercises in the
afternoon, and in the evening there was
another Easter sermon and inuxicul pro
gram. The annuel meeting of the church will be
held tonight.
BISHOP 8CAXXKLL AT CATHEDRAL

women filled St. I'hllomena's cathedral at

DIF.T7. F.MORI I. IS DEDICATED
Sevr C horrh Set Apart on Anniversary
of Mew Life.
Dletr Memorial Methodist church st
Tenth and Fierce streets was dedicated
Sunday, Immediately after the regular
morning service. Rev. William Gorst, D.
D, presiding elder of the conference,
officiated, assisted by Rev. D. W. Mc
Gregor, pastor of the church. Rev. John
Daley and Dr. Johns of Milwaukee.-
At the regular service Dr. Gorst preached
an Easter sermon, dwelling on the mean
ing of the resurrection and the power of
the gospel, and calling attention to the
significance of the fact that the new edi
fice was to be dedicated to the service of
God on the anniversary of the day on which
Christ nrose from the dead. The new
church would do a great work, he Bald,
and by bringing Its hoys snd girls to msn
hood and womanhood In the love of Christ,
would finally touch with Its evangelistic
Influence every continent of the world and
every island of the sea.
At the close of the sermon Dr. Gorst
made the announcement that at the meet
ing of the board of trustees of the church
last Friday evening. Gould Diets, who had
given lo.tmo for the new building, had been
elected a trustee, anrt the name of the
rhurch had been changed from South Tenth
Street Methodist to Diets Memorial Meth
odist church. He said the church waa
about to be dedicated In honor of Mr.
Diets s father, who wss one of the most
active workers In the early history of Meth
odism In Omaha.
The trustees then took their place In
front of the altar, Mr. Diets and his mother
with them. Dr. Gorst read a passage of
scripture, beginning. "I was glad when
they said unto me, let us go Into the house
of the Iord." Dr. McGregor read the ded

people were baptized In the evening.
FEAST OF THE R ESI'RR ECTIOS
Solemn Festival Celebrated with In.
presslvenees of Cathollfi Rltnal.
The Feast of the Resurrection was ob
served with Impressive solemnity at St.
John's Catholic church Sunday morning
at 10:30. The church was beautifully
edorned with palms and Faster lilies and
the auditorium was crowded to the doors,
many of the congregation standing. Solemn
high mass was observed with Rev. Father
M. M. Bronsgeest as celebrant and Fathers
Leursmun and Milllgan as deacon and sub
deacon, respectively. The vested altar boys
were under the direction of Prof. Hamlll.
The music was peculiarly appropriate to
the occasion and of Impressive beauty. Miss
Gussle Lehman wns the soprano soloist,
assisted by a special choir. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Father W. F. Rlgge,
who spoke from the text, "And this day
shall be a memorial to you." Father Rlgge
dwelt at some length upon the observance
of Easter and tho Feast of the Resurrec
tion by the rituals of the Apostolic Catholic
church and the meaning of the solemn cere
monies. "Those who come merely to witness the
ceremonies and hoar the music peculiar to
Easter lose the deep significance of the
occasion," he said. "The Feast of the
Resurrection is the chief of all the church
observances, and all center upon It. Nine
feastB precede it and many others follow
It. The resurrection of our Lord is ' the
strength of our filth. It is typical of the
new birth Of nature from the dead past of
winter, and Is always observed at the be
ginning of spring. Its connection with the
full moon la symbolical of the light In
darkness, and it took the world 4,000 year
to show what It could do. The new church
succeeded the old law. The first day of
the week was substituted for the last
day of the week aa the Christian Sunday
In order thut we might begin with the
new birth on the first day of the week.
It Is the new light which the resurrection
of our Lord typifies."
HOPE THE WELL-SPRIXG OF LIFE
Without It All Power and Ambition
Are Gone.
"Hope begotten by the resurrection of
ChriBt" was the topic of the Plaster sermon
delivered by Rev. Daniel Jenkins at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing. The pulpit waa decorated with flowers
and the Easter spirit was manifested
throughtout the musical service that pre
ceded the sermon. The musical numbers
were all on Kaster' themes. Dr. Jenkins
said In part:
"What a great and precious thing hope is
in human life. What an Important thing
it Is In the success of enterprises. If you
rob a man of hope you rolr of him of his
power, of his incentive. There is nothing
more distinctive of the religion of Jesus
Christ than that it la a religion almost
wholly of hope. This stands out both la
the old anl the new testament.
"Faith is the one foundation of all our
hope In the Christian religion. If faith
begins to waver and tremble, hope, phantom-like,
disappears. Our hopes are bound
up inextricably with that statement on
that first Easter morning. 'He la not here.
Why seek ye the living among the dead?'
Our hope lies In the fact that Christ suf
fered death and opened up the door of
heaven to mankind. The Christian's hope
sees God breaking out of Ills sphere of
glory and reaching out His hand to man.
"Intellectual symbols do not answer for
man in his reaching out for satisfactions.
We cannot fully satisfy the soul by drink
ing ut the fountain of wisdom of the poets
and philosophers. But there comes a time
when we cry, "8how us the God." The
dying Christ, crucified, risen and ascended
to heaven, that is the Christ that has
begotten in our civilization all of the vir
tues that are necessary for the preserva
tion of society."
RKSIRRECTIOX THE CHEAT FACT
Christ's Vlrtory Over Death Corner
stone of World's salvation.
Th. First Christian church was com
pletely filled Sunday morning and the ser
vices were of an uncommonly impressive
character. Lilies and palms were used in
abundance and an extra ltrge choir sang
a special program of music. Rev. S. D.
Dutchrr devoted much of his sermon to
a demonstration of the historical truth of
Christ's rising from the tomb. He said
the highest authorities on evidence de
clared the event was one of the best proven
in history. He said:
"The imiortance of the resurrection of
Jesus Christ cannot be exaggerated. Jesus
wss perfectly willing to rest all his claims
upon His resurrection. If we undertake
to say the Christ was not raised from the
dead the whole argument of His life Is
untrue. All rests upon that. It is ths
central and great fail of His life.
"If this is not true then a falsehood has
revolutionised the world aa no truth has
done. Without the resurrection of the Son
of God the bridge over the river of death
the human race la perishing. Is lost and
Is In decay. But our faith reaches over
the tomb and Christian character In Us
niagtUActota twafe to bloom. Jtsus stands
aa the Redeemer of the world, the assurer
of life everlasting, the sole hope of hu
manity. He stands asking your acceptance
of Him. It Is true; It Is solemnly and ab
solutely true and the world has accepted
this Messed truth."
CHARACTER OF AITHORS PROOF
Parity of Writers Accredits Story of
Reaarrertlon.
"The Credibility of the Resurrection" wn
the theme of Rev. K. Comble Smith at the
First Methodist Episcopal church Fester
morning. A large congregation attended
the service, which was both Impressive ami
beautiful. The choir rendered the anthems
"Sing With All the Sons of Glory" end
"Christ Our Passover." Mrs. Kills sang
"Hosanna."
Dr. Smith, In his sermon, told the story
of the resurrection of Christ and explained
why the credibility of the same should not
be questioned.
"I would base the credibility of the resur
rection on the truthfulness of the new
testament scriptures and the character of
Jesus Christ. I am convinced from the
simplicity and purity of those old writers
that Jesus rose from the dead, and I am
further convinced when I look Into the
characters of the writers themselves. The
stories told are so r'V" "" unsophisticated
there Is nothing strained or artificial about
the language. There is a power in thnt
scripture that Just goes home and convinces
man of Its beauty and truthfulness.
"It Is well to go over again the story of
the resurrection that our faith may be
strengthened, our love and devotion re
kindled and our hope renewed. It Is but a
step from disbelief In the resurrection to
disbelief of all the supernatural In religion.
And then man Is left without God, to
battle alone with destiny and Is without
hope In the world. The declaration of the
women at the tomb was a prophecy of the
soul's Independence and of the resurrection
of man."
CHRIST, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Rev. H. C. Herrlnsr Preaches IJabt
and Life.
"Light and Life" was the theme of the
Easter morning discourse of Rev. H. C.
Herrlpg at the First Congregational
churchr The church van beautifully deco
rated with Easter lilies and palms, tho
choir being partially hidden back of a
bank of flowers. Music was one of the
features of tho service snd the splendid
choir under the direction of Ira B. Pennu
man seemed to rise to the occasion. Miss
Foley sang Handel's "I Know My Re
deemer Ilveth" In a clear, full tone and
Mr. McCreary sang the tenor solo In Buck's
"As It Began to Dawn."
"In him was life and life was the light
of men," began Rev. Mr. Herring. "Life Is
correspondence. Life Is a thing of degrees
and so It is that some living things have
more life than others and some men' are
more alive than others. Because of this
correspendence men are wider and greater.
Correspondence of the soul of man Is the
thing we see In the life of Christ, a life
of such Interest it can only be described
by one word, eternal. We live knowing
little of the life beyond. Tho light of
Jesus Christ Is revealed to all upon whom
Its Influence falls."
Easter at Hospital.
Easter eervlces were conducted Sunday
afternoon at Clarkson hospital by Dean
Beecher of Trinity cathedral. Short ser
vices were held on each floor. A quartet

INQUIRY INTO BALLOT FRAUDS
Investigation of Charges Arising
from Primary Election by
Slnhaagh,
County Attorney Slabaugh has announced
he will start an investigation of the ballot
box frauds Monday and will use every effort
he can to secure evidence that will lead to
the conviction of the peraon or persona
who tampered with the republican primary
ballots from at least ten precincts.
He has a definite line of procedure mapped
out, but Is unwilling to make it public at

in the criminal court," said County Attorney
Slabaugh, "but I propose to spend all day
Monday, In company with my assistant,
Mr. Shotwell, in procuring evidence and sill

NEW SHOE FACTORY IN SIGHT
Missouri Man Looks Over Omaha as
a Prospective Place for
Location.
J. S. fallen of Jefferson City, Mo., is In
Omahu to look over the situation with a
view of establishing a shoe manufacturing
plant here If he thinks conditions are fa
vorable. Mr. Cullen has been part owner
of a shoe factory at Jefferson City, from
which he has withdrawn. Hla factory here,
if located, will make women's ahoes ex
clusively and will employ from 100 to 160
bands at the start.
Mr. Cullen was induced to investigate
Omaha as a locating point largely by W.
L. Kllly. formerly superintendent of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company at
Omaha and lately engaged In organising
forces fur that company In Missouri. Mr.
Kllly has arranged to move back to this
city and intends to make Omaha his per
manent home. He Is now enjoying a sixty
days' leave bf absence and may decide
not to return to the life Insurance busi
ness. Mr. Cullen, from what he knows of
Omaha, believes this city is a splendid
place for another shoe factory, and If he
can make satisfactory arrangements It Is
likely the enterprise will be undertaken.
He will take the matter up with officers
of the Commercial club today.
