THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The exercises in the Church of the
Ascension of the Evangelical Lutherans
commenced at IL O'Clock in the morning.
The ritual services were followed by the
membership, two Of whom appeared
BY letter. Rev. DR.. Bowman delivered
a sermon appropriate to the day and to
the solemn ceremOnials connected with
the rite Of confirmation, after which holy
communion was administered. Quite
large congregation was in attendance.
The decorations were limited to the space
enclosed by the altar rail. A cross over
six feet in height was shown within the
From Of 10 ST o. window
the eastern end of the edifice.
Rising apparently from the cross was
the representation Of our Saviour, whilst
above the figure was the inscription,
'.Risen." At the foot of the
cross was a mound formed of MOSES and
eYergreens. The chancel arch was draped
in eVergreens, while on both sides of the
pulpit were deliberately decorated pedes-
tails apparently supporting the springers
of the arch. and bearing vases filled with
choice eXOtics. The baptismal font was
also filled with floral ornaments. In the
evening the mound at the foot OF the large
cross was decorated by the children of
the Sunday school, who placed their
memorial notices and floral tri-
butes to the deceased members of
the school in the form of large
wreatEs of white flowers. On the side Of
the mound the inscription Gin MemOriam
of our Dead" appeared in large white
letters. The church was filled to its ut
most capacity, when the following order
of exercises were followed:
First-ProeessiOnal hymn, Coward, Chris-
tian Soldier"
SecOnd-The Lesson.
Third-CarOl, "Christ is Risen.'
FOurth-Prayer.
Fifth~Caroi, ''The Glory Song"

Ninth-CarOl. "Jesus is My Saviour"
Tenth-Chant Lords Prayer.

Twelfth-Benediction.
During the exercises DR.. Bowman made
a brief address relative to the Easter fes-
tivities. He also read the report of the
Superintendent of the school, Mr.. Spring,
which showed that the work of the
church in that department is in
very flOurishing condition tinan-
cially and otherwise. The school
has large library, which was increased
during the year by at least two hundred
volumes. The remarks of DR.. Bowman in
tribute to the memory of the late Mrs.
Josephine Purse, who was the Assistant
Superintendent of the school, produced a
profound impression. The exercises were
concluded about 8 O'Clock.
THE CATHEDRAL.
The services at the Cathedral of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help were deeply in
teresting. POntifcal High Mass was
celebrated at the morning service and the
edifice was thrOnged TO its utmost capaci-
ty. The music was as follows:
Kyrie and Gloria, frem MOzart's seventh
Mass.
Credo, from Weber's Mass ing.
OffertOry, Laude SiOn-Lambilate.
Sanctus IN fiat-Mallard.
Agnus Dei-Weber's Mass in q.
The Vespers and BenedictiOn services
in the evening were attended by an i'm
mense congregation. The affairs were APP
propriately and beautifully decorated
with floral offerings, and the lights in
their rich candlesticks and candelabras
that stood amid a prOfusion of flowers,
rendered the effect very beautiful.
ST. PATRICK's.
At the early morning service solemn
mass was celebrated, and at 1890 O'Clock
Schmidt's High Mass was effectively sung
by chorus choir, under the direction of
Professor Mallette. A large congregation
was present, and an excellent sermon was
preached by Rev. Father Schlenke. The
entire services of the day were deeply
impressive. The arrangement and dis
pOsal of the flowers was
appropriate and the innumerable
wax tapers that lighted the high altar
with mellowed yet dazzling brilliancy,
and other ornaments used to adOrn and
beautify the sanctuary cOnsecrated and
set apart to the honor and worship of the
holy God, were arranged with exquisite
taste.
