The annual Easter service Of Damascus
Commandery was held in Plymouth church
at p. IN. The turn out of membership was
large and the service attracted a large con-
gregation. DR.. Dana officiated, reading i'm
pressiyely the full ritual adopted for such oc-
casion. The choir rendered effectively the
TIE Deum, Gloria in Excelsis, and the Easter
anthem, and indicated great carefulness in
preparation and taste in selection. The
floral decorations added to the appropriate
ness of the service, the large cross of red
flowers encircled by rich wreath of callas
set against the organ front was the gift of
the commandery and was universally admir-
ed. The entrance and exit of the command
cry into and from the church with their pecu-
liar step was an impressive spectacle, and
the whole service was one of great power.

"Wanted, 4 Partner .


OF the drama, 'eWanted, Partner" to be
presented at the Grand tonight, an exchange
says:
''James Barton's new burlesque, Wanted,
a Partner was presented for the first time
in this city before large audience last
night. This musical absurdity is an intense
" amusing production, and is in the best
possible hands. From the beginning to the
close there is a continuous stream of humor-
GUS sayings and situations which picture in
mirror of fun the trials and incidents of an
actors life, interspersed with some choice bits
of melody. The company was excellent indi-
vidually and in detail. Ezra F. Kendall as
Filthy Tom, who became the partner of Col.
Warrington Crouch, the manager, by paying
him $4,000, gave as neat specimen of char
rotor acting as has been seen here this
season. He kept the audience constantly in
roar. Harry Eyting, the veteran actor,
was an admirable Col. Crouch. E. E. Gra-
ham was clever in his limitations of promi-
nent actors, and John Gilbert's Toody Froth-
ingham, comedian, was a splendid inter
probation of one Of the most important parts
in the play. Miss Helen Towel as Sarah
Setroch, and Miss Emily Maynard as Mrs.
Col. Crouch, assumed their parts well. The
same bill and east will hold the boards at the
Grand all week.
a feature of the engagement will be the
presentation at every performance to each
lady in attendance of a handsome Easter
card, gotten up especially for this engage
ment. The company possesses some very
talented people and the engagement should
be well patronized.

st. Paul's Church.

The Easter observance at this church at
the eleven o'clock service was. participated
in by as large congregation as the generous
capacity of the house could contain, all the
aises being filed with extra sittings. The
choral service was rendered in a manner
which heightened the reverent devotions of
the occasion, the selections being most hap
PLY adapted to the Day of Joy which was so
auspiciously celebrated. The responsive
music rendered during the communion SER
vice enhanced the beautiful solemnity which
touched all devotional hearts.
The floral decorations were elaborate and
beautiful, consisting almost entirely of lilies
and tea roses, with smilax in some instan-
ces for back ground. The baptismal font
was noticeable with large cross rising
from the CENTER composed entirely of Gala
lilies, while the font itself was completely
filled with the same flowers, forming an es-
pecially appropriate Easter decoration. The
lectern was gracefully adorned with smilax
and rose buds intertwined, while on and
about the altar exquisite roses and lilies in
their purity were arranged in their purity.
other parts of the church caused one to for
get their northern climate and think we
were in land of perpetual sunshine and
flowers
DR.. Thomas said In opening his brief SER
mon that he had long been of the opinion
that an elaborate sermon upon the occasion
of the Easter celebration was not demanded
or even appropriate as the people assembled
to unite in songs and praise in COM
memoration of the resurrection of our dear
Lord and to partaBe of the holy communion
at His table. The theme upon which he dis
cOursed for a few moments was the Power of
the Resurrection, and the desire of the hu-
man heart THAT may know him and the
power of His Resurrection. The Christian
heart and Christian people, in the vast con-
gregation present. in every Anglican church
of Rome, the Greek and
| other churches were giving token
to-day Of their acceptance of the fact of the
resurrection. 1t was not the intent to fill
the mind with stupendous wonder, but rather
to impress the mind that the risen Lord typi-
fed the first actual triumph over sin, satan
and death. not as a solitary or individual
glory, not as a conqueror who would
rule by his own might, not for himself in
any sense, but to bring the great gift of
salvation to all men. Conquering death to
bring spiritual life to the world, that all
believing and walking justly might also,
through His mediation triumph over sin and
death and gain the life eternal.
In conclusion, DR.. Thomas extended the
broadest invitation to all Christian people
present to unite in the celebration of the
Lords table, to all who love the Lord,
all who feel thankful for His resurrection,
who love His word and strive to keep his
commandments, to every Christian, to come
and partake freely, offering their token of de-
sire to secure the blessing which Christ has
promised to all who obey Him.

Ass,l,,,ntion Church.

congregation amounting almost to
crush was pIesent at the services commemo-
rative of Easter Sunday at Assumption church
yesterday morning. The events of 1900
years ago were called to mind and heart as
vividly and impressively in the beautiful
song services as if we had witnessed, instead
of read in the pages of history, the acts OF
that ancient period. The meeting was for
the expression of that joy which rises in eV-
cry Christian soul at each recurrence of this
day, but as the sacred notes, in all their sig
niicance and solemnity, reached the seat OF
thought, the eye was dimmed with tears, and
that awful tragedy in which Pontius PLATE
allowed Jewish mob to lead against his bet
ter judgment the Savior to the cross arose
in all its hideousness. Then the
scene changed and the sky was clear again
as the eye beheld the meeting of mortal
men with Christ, the resurrected, and as
''He lifted up his hands and blessed them,"
and then was carried up into heaven, the
heart drank in the meaning of this Easter
day of worship.
The musical programme, under the charge
of Theo. Lobmiller, was rendered in the fol-
lowing order, with most impressive and
pleasing effect.

ST. Nnr,,,a Church.

The Easter services at st. Mary's church
yesterday morning have never been excelled
for their impressiveness, elaborate character
and beauty The attendance, too, was only
limited by the standingroom of the sacred
ediice, every foot of which was taken up,
and admission after the commencement of
the services was out of the question. The
altar of this church has long been noted for
its elegance and beauty, and although not as
large as at some other places of worship in
St. Paul, it is certainly the most superb in the
way of complete appointments.
Yesterday the altar presented scene of sin
gular beauty, the rich candelabria and sumr-
tuous appointments fairly glittering in the
glow Of myriad tapers and jets. Perhaps the
most notable feature of the decorations was
the lavish display flowers, great many su-
perb floral offerings having been contributed
by the ladies of the parish,
The mass was Mozart's twelfth, a Compost
ton of elaborate character, and possessing
MANY rare and beautiful charms.
1t is a most difficult mass to undertake,
however, and all the more credit is due to
the successful manner in which it was given
Yesterday, it being undoubtedly the most
elaborate church service ever given in St.
Paul.
The mass was conducted by theEpastor Rev.
Father Cailiet, assisted by Rev. Father Kane
and dozen acolytes.
The music was of course the principal fea-
ture and it was given under the

First Raptist Church.

This large and very attractive religious edi-
flee was attended yesterday morning by a
very large and very greatly interested
audience. Upon the platform, in front of
the organ loft the eye was greeted with
profusion of flowers, while upon the front
and center of the organ was a large cross of
flowers. The singing for the occasion was
furnished by large choir of well trained
voices that added very much to the interest
of the services, the work of the choir being
very pleasantly varied by the rendition of
several solos suitable to the occasion.
After the usual preliminary exercises the
Rev. Mr.. RiddeIl, delivered an interesting
discourse, taking his text from First Cor
inthians, 18th chapter, Goth verse:
"But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the first fruits of them that
slept"
The discourse was too abstruse and philo-
sophical to allow of giving very full idea
of it in the brief space to be devoted to it.
The main idea of it was to show that the gen
eral plan of religion and salvation was in
tended to be gradually developed, as human
beings studied and pondered upon it. 1t
was first the altar, then the tabernacle, that
was moved around from place to place, and
afterwards the grand temple. The founda-
ton fact was the birth, death and resurrec-
ton of Christ. Upon. this fact was raised
the superstructure of the Christian religion
The Almighty did not found this temple
upon the sand, or the oozy mud Of the lake,
but upon solid and lasting foundation.
Every church spire and all life and expert
ence witnesses to this; and now when the
long winter dissolves into the carly Easter
morning hope springs up, and the beauty
of the temple appears anew and more beauti-
| full and attractive than ever before. The dis
course was listened to throughout with the
closest attention.

Interpreters of oratorio music in the country.
Mr. Barnabee was in splendid voice and he
sang the 'sPalm Branches'' in most effective
style. He is one of the best church singers
IN the states, and he displays consummate
art in his rendition of sacred songs, combin-
ing perfection of enunciation, with a rare
discrimination of sentiment. The grand
solo has seldom been given with better effect.
The floral decorations were elaborately beau
tiful, the pulpit platform being perfect
bank of blooms. The Bible rested on pill
low of bright blossoms, and pyramidsof
splendid flowers were displayed at many
points, while within the communion rail was
a dazzling exhibition of great Gala lilies. A
large anchor of evergreen and white moss
was also conspicuous features of the deco
rations. The services were enjoyed by a con-
gregation that completely filed the spacious

High License Defined.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Your correspondent ''Voter of Second
Ward" whose letter appears in your Sunday
issue, evidently entirely misunderstands the
present agitation for high license in this
city, The movement is not "a warfare
against the entire saloon business, - it is sim
ply an effort to purify and control the liquor
traffic, to bring it within reas enable bounds,
so that those engaged in it will conduct
their business strictly within the limits of
the law, and in a manner that will not per-
NIT every irresponsible man in the COM
munity, who is too lazy or too worthless to
work, to start a saloon where law will be
openly violated and where every species of
vice will find a congenial vauntng ground.
This movement is not for prohibition, it is
for high license. Saloons are to be tolerated,
provided they are conducted on respectable
basis, and saloon keepers who are in favor
OF extertnlnating the abuses which at pres
ent disgrace their business, should be hearth
ly welcomed to the high license ranks.
High license has been selected as a common
rallying ground, where men of all parties

free rum) can meet and unite for the
common good of our city; and it will be a
fatal mistake if gentlemen of extreme opin-
ions, refuse to support the high license
ticket simply because the candidates are not
those they would themselves have selected.
''Vcter'' should remember, that every vote
not cast for the high license candidates is a
vote cast against them and if the ticket is
defeated because ''Noter'' and his friends re-
fuse to rally to its banners, they may feel
assured that they have materially aided in
giving set back to the temperance move
ment. If the high license ticket is elected,
and it can be, all the friends of sobriety and
good order, the prohibitionists, total alb
stainers and those 'who simply favor re-
strictive legislation, must rally to its sup
port. ''Voter's'' attack on the nominees is
i'll timed and unwise. HIGH LICENSE.

EslnerdIda.

The engagement of the Madison Square
company in this beautiful drama commences
next Thursday evening and the sale of seats
begins on Wednesday,
'Esmeralda" is a dainty drama of domes-
tic interest, with peep at life in Paris, and
the dual attraction of a love plot proper and
the minor love passage between Nora Des-
mond and Estabrook. Happily blending
character sketches with healthy sentiment,
and surrounding the persons of the drama
with objects of art and refinement, its authors
have contriYed to suit all tastes and make
their play please both gentle and simple.
The plot is one of the fimsiest texture, and
no difficulty is found in following it from
the early affection of Esmcralda Tor Dave
to the happy denouement in which the am
bilious mother and the titled adventurer
come after grief, while the good are reward
ed and merit meets its need. 1t is beauti-
fully put upon the stage, especially the
studio set, which is a lesson in esthetic
apartment decoration, and almost begets a
spirit of covetousness in the spectator.

of unwonted interest. OF teachers and pu-
pills there were present between one and two
hundred, larger attendance than the school
has ever had before. The Easter service of
song arranged for the school was happily
conceived and very creditably executed.
A very pleasing performance was that of
the infant class consisting of recitations and
songs. They were arranged in row facing
the school, beginning with the smallest and
standing progressively to the tallest. Each
had heart shaped card hung by ribbon
upon the breast each inscribed with isingle
letter. And as each little disciple
recited a scripture passage, he, or she, turned
the card, disclosing upon it letter, and
when the last card was turned, as the class
stood before the school, the letters spelled
out produced the passage: "Jesus is our

Cha.ist Church.

The Easter services at Christ church yester-
day morning attracted throng far beyond
the seating and standing capacity OF the
building and large numbers were obliged to
abandon the attempt to enter. The church
was beautifully decorated, even surprising
previous attempts in the same direction.
The paster Rev. NJ. n. Gilbert, conducted
the services in a very impressive manner.
The music was in accordance with the pro-
gramme given in SUNDAYS GLOBE and ex-
cellently presented, Miss Ulmar's rendition
of II Know that My Redeemer Liveth,'' be-
ing an especially attractive feature. The
pastor selected no text but confined himself
to some very eloquent remarks concerning
the day and its observance which were listen
ed to with the deepest attention, but OF
character which precluded any intelligent alb
stract of the same.

PART Church.

The Park Congregational church, St.
Anthony Hill, occupied their new chapel for
the first time yesterday morning. A large
congregation was present, The services
were all happily and impressively arranged in
reference to Easter Sabbath.
A wreath of floral decorations, beautifully
and artistically arranged, adorned the pulpit
and the new chapel auditorium, with all its
comfortable appointments, shone like new
creation.
The choir, consisting of Mrs, Charles John
son, soprano, Miss Morehouse, alto, Mr.. E.
A. Hemenway, tenor, and Mr.. L. Fahnstock.
basso, rendered several selections admirably.
and with fine musical effect, and were assist
ed by the whole congregation in singing the
hymns. The new and fine chapel organ
discoursed most excellent music, and added
largely to the musical enjoyment and enter
tainment of the occasion.
The pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Morley, was really
at his best, and delivered most touching
and eloquent discourse, full of moving and
tender pathos, on the crucifxion and resource
ton of the Saviour. His text was taken
from Matthew 2S: 5, 6: ssAnd the angel
answered and said to the women,'' 5, Fear
not, for know that We love Jesus, who was
cruciied. 6. He is not here, for he is risen
as he said, Come, see the place where the
Lord lay"
The preacher by the strongest chain of in
controyertible evidence, showed that the
Saviour was cruciied at Jerusalem, so ad-
mitted to be by the Jews, and also by equally
strong evidence established the fact of his
resurrection. He appeared to His disciples
thirteen times after His resurrection, and
the disciples preached Jesus Christ and him
crucified and his resurrection, as the founda-
ton of the Christian faith, and on it fun
damental element of belief went forth to dis
ciple the world. The congregation listened
with rapt attention as the preacher thrilling
ly depicted the results of the resurrection.
The exercises of the Sabbath school were

St. John the Evangelist.

At this, the youngest of the Episcopal
churches of our city, located on Mackubin
street in Woodland Park addition, there was
a large attendance at each of the three SER
vices of the day and at the evensong service
at D. IN. the church was overcrowded At
the forenoon service Rev. Mr.. Benedict, who
is in charge during the absence of the rector,
delivered an impressive extemporaneous dis
course, which had for its foundation this pas
sage from Revelations: 81 am He that Gveth
and was dead, and am alive forevermore and
hold the keys of death and hell" The even
song service was beautiful and devotional in
the highest degree, and fully satisfied the ex-
pectations of those who came from other
parishes and other denominations to hear
the antiphonal singing. The altar and
chancel were decorated in good taste with

House of Hone.

The services in this church were not pecu-
liarly, as it might be called, Easter services,
only the anthems and the portions of Scripture
read being applicable. Neither had the church
any extra decorations, except that the plat
form and reading desk were a mass of most
exquisite flowers artistically arranged. Moth
ing could be finer than the taste displayed.
The following anthems were excellently rem
dered:

BY the Choir.
The choir was composed of the following:
Soprano, Miss Noble; alto, Mrs. Cochran; !;
tenor, Mr.. Carle Roese; bass, Mr.. George.
The organist was Mr.. G. A. Barrett, than
whom there is no better.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. DR..
Sample, of the Westminster Presbyterian
church, Minneapolis, who took for his text
the three last verses Of the eleventh chapter
of Matthew, "Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and | will give you rest,
etc. His theme was well taken, as it was
communion Sabbath in the church, and he
pressed home the invitation given in the
text. He said that coming to Christ involves:
First, sense of sin; second, conviction of
Christ's power TO save, and third, his willing
ness to save. If persons come to Christ, what
do they get? Rest, such rest that can be
obtained by nothing else. Those who have
had in this world, whether property, honors or
pleasure, still testify to want that only COM
ing to Christ can satisfy.
