THE CATHOLIC EASTER.
Churches Crowded With Communicates
1T All Of the Masses.

Easter services at all of the Catholic
churches were appropriately observed yes
terday. At the Church of Our Lady Of
Good Help fully 400 members received
communion at the early masses, while at
the Church of the Sacred Heart there were
about half Of that number. The churches
were crowded at all three masses and at
high mass there was standing room only.
The affairs were elegantly decorated with
natural and artificial flowers and special
Easter music was rendered by the choirs.
The music at the Church of Our Lady of
Good Help was of unusual excellence. The
choir sang Millard's mass in B Hat in Q
very creditable manner, and the loud hal
lelujahs of the Easter music proclaimed
the fact of Christ's having arisen in glori-
Gus triumph.
At the church of Our Lady of Good Help
Father Prefontaine celebrated mass and
preached the sermon. He spoke of the
resurrection Of Christ as a pledge of the
future resurrection of man, and of the
necessity of mans rising spiritually and
forsaking sin and uncleanness If he
wished to partake of the triumphs of the
resurrection. He sought to impress upon
the minds of his hearers the necessity Of
sincerity in the spiritual resurrection. and
said that it should have the proper char
acter and should be real, striking and per-
manent if man would hope to rise from
death like Christ to spiritual hereafter.
At high mass ut the church of the Sacred
Heart, Father Demanez officiated as cele-
brant and Father Sigel preached. His ser
mon was on Christ's resurrection from the
dead. He infinitely described the meeting
of Christ and Mary Magdalen on Easter
Sunday morning, after the body had lain
three days in the sepulchre, and showed
how the promise of God had been fuliAed.
He compared mans life and troubles and
death to the sufferings and death of Christ,
and said that all would rise from the dead
at the judgment day. and he urged upon
all the importance of initiating Christ's ex-
ample and rising gloriously to eternal life
like He did. The patience and resignation
with which Christ bore His sufferings and
agonies were held up as an example for all.
And all were admonished to patiently bear
the burdens of life and such disappoint-
ments, sorrows and Affections as may fall
to their lot, in order that they NAV be
properly prepared and purified by sorrow
for the great resurrection on the last day.

EASTER SERVICES AT BALLAKD.

Beautiful Decorations and Large Com
gregations-M issionary Concerts.
Easter was generally observed in all the
churches at Ballard. No service was held
by the Episcopalians, the Rev. Mr.. James
Cheals, the pastor, having missed the
train from Kent, owing to the change in
the time table. The Methodist Episcopal
church was tastefully decorated with
appropriate notices, beautiful flowers and
evergreens. In the evening special SER
vices were held. The Rev. E. s. Stockwell
conducted the services, following the mis-
sionary concert exercise by the Rev. w. H.
Mahafiie. Besides the missionary service
the following recitations and songs were
well rendered:

SEATTLE, March 80, 1891.
You've noticed the change
in our silk and black dress
goods department.
Have you considered how
much it really means?
By putting the silks and
black dress goods back where
the shoe department was FORM
erly located, we have accom-
plished several things.
First, We have given double
the former space to fancy and
colored dress goods. This
means a proportiolsately larger
stock.
Again here is more convent
ence for you, another comfort
added to our already comfort
able store.
The silks are now in the
best possible place. Elegant
light for seeing all their points.
No need of hurry in selecting.
You are away from the crowded
portion of the store and are
given all the facilities for salts
factory trading.
1t gives us better chance also
to show our magnificent stock
of silks and black dress goods.
Never before have we had the
room to properly display it.
And about this stock. 1t
has all the freshness and new
ness Of the spring.
All the fancy silks are in
New figured Japanese Silks to
show you. lovelier and daintier
than ever.
New brocaded Bengalines
rich in artistic effects. new Satin

all over the stock.
Trimming silks, to match all
the new dress goods shades, at
from ST upwards.
With a larger stock and bet
ter facilities of handling it, we
are enabled to offer you these
goods at lower prices than
ever.
Have you visited the new
shoe department on the second
floor? 1t is fitted exclusively
for the ladies' and children and
we believe it to be the most
comfortable shoe department
in the state.

The Unitarian church was deliberately
decorated with white lilies. ferns and other
flowers. and the appropriate Easter music
was excellently rendered by the choir.
Mrs. E. T.Wiikes, in her sermon, answered
the question, 'sWhy Unitarians celebrate
Easter" She spoke of the antiquity of this
festival, and its heather origin. She said
it was festival Of life. and it derived its
name from q heather goddess, and the Jews
Passover feast. 1.-THE Christian church"
she said, "gave Christian significance to
the old festival. It has always been cele-
brated in the church as a day of JOY. OF
old the people greeted each other with, He
is risen, to which respons,was made, He
is risen, indeed e
"Unitarians celebrate the day not be-
cause of its antiquity and precious ness
from old associations. hut because they
believe that life is unbroken by the Incl
dent Of Death
Mrs. Wilkes held that the human mind,
freed from the bondage of superstition,
does not cease to hope. I'VE found our
faith" she said, Tin no myth or tradition.
We do not believe that God died on Good
Friday and came to life on Easter. Our
faith rests not in texts which may be
proven spurious and dropped from future
versions of the Scripture-not in this
precious book which human experience is
proving more and more holy as it becomes
less and less in Jail in which to coop the
living God. Not on the one fact of Jesus
resurrection, not in book or miracle, but
in ourselves we look for proof. In the very
nature of things We think We find the proofs
of immortality. Death is but an incident
i'm an unending life, and the question is not
How shall We prepare for death? but
How shall we live? Not duration of life,
but the quality of life.
"sWhat is excellent, rs God lives, is per-
manent' This is the resurrection season;
each spring blossom breaches you an
Easter sermon. The new scientific truth,
the survival Of the fittest, is resurrec-
ton doctrine. 1t is the story of the tri-
umph of the highest. There is great power
in this hope To us who believe that il rests
not in the law of carnal commandment,
but in the power of endless life.
"The constancy of our belief in the
race is a prophecy-as the struggles of
the unborn child for air and food. We are
not born yet.
.iet so the breath,
There Is no death
To the living soul.
Nor loss nor nlrIu,
Not OF the clod
Is the Life of God,
let IL mount as il will
From form to form.
ssBut there is . higher faith than that in
personal immortality. To one who has
come to feel the purpose Of the universe
that his soul is one with the Power that
holds the planet and tigts the blossom,
that is in the baby's tear and the friends
smile can trust the future to that power
questioning not as to the how
beloved. now are We the sons of God,
even though it doth not appear what We
shall be; and If sons, then heirs, heirs of
God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, if SO
be that we suffer with Him, that We may
be also glorised together.

To the little folks of this church Easter
day was very pleasant and happy one.
The special exercises Of the pupils in the
Sunday-school were very novel and inter-
esting. 1.-THE Morning Glories,n the
"Bird's Nest" the Daisy Chains" and
the "Armour Bearers" were very interest
ing. Under the teaching and training Of
Mrs. ]. s. Chase and her assistants, these
classes in the primary department did
some wonderfully fine singing, and prompt
answers to questions while on the rostrum
before the whole school. Their gestures
were in time and place and their marching
showed they had been attentive to their
drill. After these exercises they returned
to their own rooms in the church parlors
where had been prepared for them very
large bird s nest Tiled with every imagin-
able color of Easter eggs. beautiful
pyramid of frosted Easter cakes and kisses,
surrounded with fence of stick candy,
enough for each of the sixty little folks
present and for their brothers and sisters
at home. Many Of these children were
under years of age, some only 8, and all
under 10. and all declared it the happiest
day of their lives Much credit is due to
Mrs. Chase and her corps Of teachers.

this morning until the October term oi

cation. Crantz is having considerable
trouble in getting attorneys. William

Being unable to give bail, Crantz was
taken back TO the black pit of horrors
called the Clay county jail, where hei wi

The king of Carthage was dethroned.
His people rebelled against him. He
was driven into Punishment His wife
and children were outrageously abused.
Years went by and the king of Car
thage made many friends. He gathered
up great army, He marched again
toward Carthage. Reaching the gates
of Carthage. the best men of the place
came out bare footed and bare headed,
and with ropes around their necks, cry
ing for mercy. They said: I'VE abused
YOU and we abused your family, but we
cry for mercy" The king Of Carthage
looked down upon the people from his
chariot and said: Il came to bless:
didn't come to destroy. You drove me
out, but this day pronounce pardon
for all the people. Open the gate and
let the army come IN" The King
marched in and took the throne, and
the people all shouted: Long live the
king"
My friend, you have driven the Lord
Jesus Christ, the King of the church,
away from your heart: you have been
maltreating him all these years: but He
comes back to-day. He stands in front
Of the gates of your soul. If YOU will
only pray for His pardon He will meet
you with His gracious spirit and He
will say: ''Thy sins and thine iniqui-
ties will remember no more. Open
wide the gate: l will take the throne.
Ny peace I give unto you" And then,
all through this audience, from the
young man and from the old, there will
be rain of tears. and God will be the
Father OF that rain.

Miser and Misery.

Joseph Crawford and his wife peti-
toned the circuit court yesterday for
an injunction restraining money-lender
John H. Vette from foreclosing a mort
gage on their household effects and a de-
cree cancelling the instrument. They al
lege that they went to Vette for loan
last November. They wanted Sl5, and
to obtain it they were required to give
him note for So, bearing interest at
the rate of 10 per cent. per aunum. To
secure this note they gave him a chat
tel mortgage on all their furniture at
1l9 South Fourteenth street. In the
meantime, they claim. they have paid
him Sl4.50 ''extention' money, and on
the 23d inst. they rendered him the re-
mainder that is due on the note with
the interest as specified, and s. ''com-
mission" This he refused to accept,
and threatened to foreclose the mort
gage. They rendered that amount in
court and asked for a restraining order,
which Judge Winthrow granted,-St.
Louis Republic.
