ment Of the choir for this interesting

The exercises by the NJ f. church Sun

and interesting character. Most OF the

Pot. Chase Indians took part with credit
to themselves and to Ramona school.

Improving Easter services were held
yesterday forenoon at the cathedral and

The services III the church OF the Holy
Faith yesterday were of a most instruct
i've and appropriate character. A large
and intelligent congregation was present,
composed IN par OF visitors III Santa Fe,
many OF whom expressed their gratified
establishment at finding so we'll appointed
church III II place containing the population
Of Santa te. The altar WAS exquisitely
decorated with vases OF Easter lilies aud
roses, while resting on the base of the
cross was lovely wreath OF smilax and
datfodIls. The chance, ai-es and win
dows we're filled with growing flow ers OF
every kind, among which could be seen
brilliant anaryltis and large number OF
Gala lilies. The music, appropriate to the
day, was well rendered. The sermon
from the text, "As in Adam all die, 30 in
Christ shall all be made alive"
The Rev. Mr.. Meany announced from
the pulpit yesterday morning that in his
judgment sermons were of little account,
and that the Easter service would prob
ably he more complete and perfect with
out one than with one. In the main we
agree With him in this respect, but there
are sermons and sermons, and if all dis
courses from the pulpit we're like that one
delivered yesterday at the Easter morn
ing services in the church OF the Holy
Faith were, as neat, as classical, as re-
plete with thoughts worth carrying home
and thinking over again, then no service
would De complete without one.
