The churches of the City were crowded
yesterday. The usual number of worship
ers was doubled, and persons who attend
services but once year were in evidence,
notwithstanding tie fact that the weather
was discouraging to any such effort, even
with so interesting topic as an exhibition
OF spring millinery and dressmaking to
tempt fair and frivolous devotees. Most
of the triumphs of the milliners and

Everywhere there was music appropriate
10 the season, in nearly every instance the
regular choir being considerably aug
mented. The sermons were messages of
hope to the world, of promise of rest after
WEAKNESS, of Joy after sorrow, smiles after
tears and a heaven OF happiness dominat-
ing the griefs of earth.

The lily seemed to breathe its Easter
welcome to the many who gathered at the
three services at Trinity Church yester-
day and reioiced anew before the open
sepulchers and the risen Savior OF the
world. And the lily was not alone in its
welcome. There were the lilac, the rose
and the fern, all offering up their beauty
and their fragrance.

The Easter festival of the Sundayschool
of the parish was held in the evening. De-
spite the rain there was large attendance
of parents and friends. Jessie Wardter
was awarded the rector's gold medal for
general merit, and Frances Kidd and
Georgia Harris carried away silver medals
as testimonials of their efficiency. The
rector spoke to the children in cheering
words and was glad to see so many, with
song and prayer, lifting up their pure
young hearts to Jesus, himself child.
'I wish to say to our older friends" he said,
"that we endeavoring in the Sunday school
to teach the young that as they grow older
they will more and more appreciate the glories
and blessings OF God. We send our children to
the public schools that their minds may be
trained, that they be equipped for the great
battle OF life, but there is something needed
more than mere mental training-the glories
of the spiritual life-and therefore we must
bring their young souls 10 the Savior, that
they may know, love and obey him"

resurrection of Christ, nor to roll away the
stone TO let him out of the tomb. Christ did
not need the service of the angel to do this. as
he could pass through the stone as he did on
the evening OF Easter day, when, passing
through the closed doors, he stood amid his
Apostles.
So the angel came as the messenger of God to
announce the fact OF the resurrection and as
an instrument of divine grace to produce
supernatural faith in the souls of the holy
women.
This is the method God always uses in re-
vealing himself to men. He chose the Apostles,
gave them their credentials, sent them TO
teach dogmatically worked with them by
grace, and as they preached so men believed.
He works the same way to-day, because he has
not changed, mans nature has not changed.
Wherefore the law made in the beginning still
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-06

holds good that "every understanding must be
brought into captivity to the obedience of
Christ" Do you then seek the true church of
Christ? Would you know whether there is
indeed on earth vicar of Christ? Listen and
when you hear resounding through the world
the voice OF one teaching with authority, re-
proving, exalting, opposing heresy and inf
deity to-day as vigorously as when in former
times his words were received by all men with
reverence: when you hear him like the angel
saying, "Lo. have told you, in mission an
angel in authority, an apostle welding as his
vicar all the authority of Christi then bow
your heads and hear his teaching, for the word
in your ears is no longer the word of man but
of God.
1t seems, then, that it is this dogmatic teach
ing power OF the church that sets the world
against her. Calumnies are heaped upon
calumnies. We are told that the church is
opposed to the state, usurps the prerogatives
OF the state, invades the rights of the state
There can be no opposition between the church
and the state, for both come with all their
rights, all their prerogatives, from the one
God, who is perfect in all his works The
world hates the church because the prince of
the world hates the church, which snatches
souls from his grasp and makes them sharers
in the resurrection of Christ. When there
fore, as is sometimes the case in certain Euro
pean countries. the state turns away from
God ana submits itself to those who are will
fully and knowingly the agents of Satan in his
warfare against the church, and receives from
them instructions as to its conduct with hu.
mility it never showed toward the Vicar of
Christ, there must be an irreconcilable conflict
between the church and the civil power. But
in this case it is not the church that is invad-
Ing the rights OF the state, but the state that is
struggling to destroy the church.
Let us not forget that the resurrection of our
Lord was from the dead. From the mere fact,
then, that SO much on earth lies dead-de-
prived of the life-giving grace of God4-we have
strong motive to pray and labor that God
may by his word of power call it to a glorious
resurrection and establish his kingdom
through the whole earth.

The impressive services at the First
Presbyterian Church were attended by as
many as the church could, by any ingeni-

floral decorations in purest white gave to
the edifice an air of more than usual sa-
credness and the deyout attendant forgot
the artistic arrangement of the decora-

suggested.

Easter Sunday was celebrated at the
church of Nuestra Sonora de Guadalupe
by two services yesterday, Father Valado-

decorated with profusion of white
flowers and number of emblems.
Nothing elaborate was attempted at
either OF the services, as Archbishop Rior-
dan is to confirm forty candidates to-day,
and everything is to be on the grandest
scale. The confirmation service is to take
place at 10 o'clock this morning. An
elaborate musical programme has been
arranged, and the little boys and girls are
TO enter the church in professional order.
A large number of priests from different

At the Y. NJ. c. A.

The Oakland Orchestra with its pretty
young ladies proved the principal attrac-
ton of the Easter praise service in the y.
NJ. G. A. auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew was expected to
address the audience, and every seat in the
hall was filled by young men, while the
gallery was well sprinkled with women IN
expectation of hearing the well-known
speaker. But Mr.. Depew was not able to
spare the time for an address on the eve OF
his departure.
The Rev. John Stephens, pastor of Simp-
son Memorial church, delivered an address
necessarily abbreviated because of the long
musical programme. He took for his sub
iect "The Resurrection, and Its Relation to
Modern Enlightenment" He said that
all light and knowledge in reference to the
mortality and existence of God de-
pends on the revelation of the scriptures.
The only satisfactory foundation for
revelation is in the resurrection of Christ
from the dead. Although the doctrines Of
Christ were excellent, and as an example
perfect, men have no sufficient pretense
offered for the knowledge that Christ rose
from the dead. Had it not been for their
steadfast faith in the resurrection, Jesus
might have been considered great genius,
but not as divine being.

Lord. Then to the disciples on the road to
Emmaus. Quickly they return to Jerusalem,
and as they enter are greeted with the joyful
news. "The Lord is risen indeed and hath ap-
peared unto Simon" Then unto Tn omas, the
misunderstanding Thomas. But should we
wonder, for have we not at times doubted in
him and his mercy and his power? Like
Thomas when the Lord showed his hands and
his side to prove that he was indeed the risen
Lord our prayer should be, "My Lord and nv
God"
Our JOY to-day is the JOY we have in the truth
OF Christianity, proved by the resurrection.

other miracles, of himself of his doctrines
When the Apostles went forth to preach his
gospel they appealed to the fact OF his resurrec-
ton for the truth of what they taught. His
resurrection proves to US this and their right to

born to US the highest aspiration of our soul
to know what they taught is rrue-true beyond

At the Russian Cath ed raj.

Rev. Father Greenkovitch, assisted by
all the priests in the diocese, officiated at
two elaborate and beautiful services at the
Russian Cathedral yesterday.
At the morning service the church was
decorated in the most elaborate manner.
The altar was mass of flowers and all the
pictures on the walls were hung with
garlands. The columns were festooned
with evergreens.
Father Greenkovitch's sermon was ap-
propriate to the occasion. He told the
story of the Resurrection, beautify1rg it
with texts and selections from the Scrip
lures. The edihce was taxed to its utmost
to hold the crowd that sought entrance.
At the evening service Father Greenko-
witch of1iciated, but nearly all of the dec
orations had been removed. He did not
