impressive manner. This choir Is
certainly one that our city should
be proud of rs il deserves great credit
ior the time given in the past to bring II
to such a degree OF perfection. The ex-
ecution OF this difficult chorus has never
been excelled in our city, and DIR. /. ii.
Logan, is to be congratulated upon his
fine collection of voices.
The sermon by Rev. c. 7. Masden, on
the Resurrection was one OF great power
and eloquence. The reverend gentle
man handled his discourse in mastery
and impressive style; abbey did he por-
tray the sutlerings, cruciiixion, and Ies-
direction OF the blessed Christ.
The evening services were OF unusual
interest. Rev. MaSden preached from
Jer. vi, l6: ASK for the Old Path
Immaculate Conception.
The services at this church were very
impressive and grand, and were partici-
pated in by nearly every one able to he
out. notwithstanding the cold, raw
morning. Early mass was celebrated
at Z A. NJ, there being present a large
number of communicates, To whom
Rev. Father Schleicher addressed few
words of advice and love. At 10 4. VI.
the cdiice was crowded IN every part
with congregation such as has been
seldom seen inside these walls The
solemn mass was sung in most grand
and sOul.sirring manner. Alter mass
the Rev. Father addressed a few words
to the congregation, taking Us his
text: This Is the day which
the Lord hath made; let us
he glad and rejoice therein 1t was
remarked by all who heard him that
never had he spoken to a better adyant-
age than on this occasion. His remarks
were impromtu, and seemed to come
direct from the heart After the morn
ing service a collection was taken up Tor
the benefit OF the sanctuary, and the
congregation responded most literally,
The altar was very hastily trimmed with
living green and Easter flowers, and
this, together with the lights, made II
magnificent appearance. The large
glass chandelier, presented 10y the Cath
ollie employees of the glass works, had
been placed in position III the chancel,
and when lighted added great brlIliancy
TO the scene. At ) O'Clock IN tine alter
noon NcspcrS were sung, followed 10y a
procession Of the Blessed Sacrament.

was under the charge of Mrs. +. +. Sui

firing efforts belong the highest praise
We cannot speak in terms sufficient To
express the magnificent manner IN
which Hayden's Seventh Mass Was
RENDERED. The Gloria and CrctO were
simply grand, the genius OF that great
composer being noticed III each part, the
forte and piuHo passages being handled
hy the urgauist in such u manner IL 10
show her TO he an able exponent OF such
music. Musicians know the difficulty
experienced in rendering IL iIcGWgtHS
Est OF the mass, also of BCRCdidts, yet
these parts were sung with that purity
OF tone, precision OF time and movement
by the large chorus rs to render them a
marvel ui sweetness. The quartetlc
was composed of Mrs. +. +, sullivan,
soprano, Miss Della Bcro, alto, Il. Y. Ar
kle, tenor, and Jos. Ankle, bassu, assisted
by chorus OF ten. Mrs. Sullivan has
been uutirlng for some weeks past IN

in upon her yesterday must have been
very gratifying.
