THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES
now They Will Observe Easter Sunday
To OF loaat fonr ffth1 of the inha hifanfa of


To at least four-fifths of the inhabitants Of
the civilized world, the commemorative serv-
ices of to-day are attended with especial
manifestations of rejoicing To-day it is that
the melancholy garb of lenten mourning, as
sumed by the church in memory of the awful
scene on Calvary, is thrown aside for the OBJ
servance of the rising of Him whose divine
prefeuration is the Christians hope of inn
mortality.
From the lofty dome of st. Peter, at
Rome, to the modest belfry of the most OBJ
scure hamlet parish, will reverbrate this
morning, peal after peal of rejoicing, and it
is not overdrawing the figure to say that the
hearts of millions will be inspired thereby
with the keenest feelings of pure and rev.
erent devotion.
The Easter services at the Catholic
churches in this city to-day, will be of the
most exalted and joyfully impressive charac-
ter, and glance at the programmes Will
show that for comprehensiyeness of scope
and beauty of arrangements, they have rarely,
if ever, been excelled.
THE CATHEDRAL.
The exercises attending the celebration of
the anniversary at the Cathedral, will be un-
usually select and elaborate. The services
will commence with the celebration of low
mass and communion at A. NJ, followed by
similar observance at 8 o'clock, and it is
expected that over one thousand communi-
cants will be present at each of the above
named services. The feature of the day will
be the observance of pontifcial high mass
at 1890 o'clock, followed with sermon
by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ireland.
The musical programme will be executed by
the full choir, conducted by Prof. Manners,
the organist, and the numbers selected are
unusually attractive. The high mass consists
of the 'Mass in Dr. by Lajelle; the ssRegina
Coeli,'' by Lambillatte, and the ofertorium,
a Cecilian quartette. The solo parts will
be executed by Mrs. Gen. Ruggles, the
Misses Lizzie Ryan, Minnie Monahan,
Maggie Gooden, Grace Haggerty, and
Messrs. John Donahue and j. Arth.
The evening services will embrace the
rendition of the "Gregorian Vesper" and
the Magnificent" 80 Salutaris,'' and
"Pantum Cergo,'' the whole to conclude
with 'Regina Coeli,'' more beautiful Sc
lection than which it would be difficult to
imagine.
ST. MARY's CHURCH.
The services at st. Mary's parish, will also
be uncommonly beautiful and attractive.
The morning exercises will consist of low
mass and communion, with the celebration
of high mass at 1890 o'clock. The choir
will be under the direction of Mr.. John erode,
with Mrs. Shave as organist. The mass
will consist of Farmers mass in B flat, the
solo parts being taken by Mrs. I. Donnelly,
Mrs. j. R. King, Mrs. J. I. Beaumont, Miss
Mealley, Mr.. G. Hildebrand and Mr.. J.
erode, all of whom are admirably qualified
to give the mass an exceptionally fine rendi-
ton.
