er solemnity and earnestness than perhaps
ever before. The ceremonies attendant upon
the commemoration of the Savior of the
WORLDS death are few and simple The
altar is denuded OF all its ornaments, save
that OF the cross, which is yelled in black
Grape. Usually the hangings for altar, lee
tern and pulpit frontals are black. with a
plain Latin cross of white material en-
Droldered thereon. For the Mathis service
the Vestments OF the clergy are black Cos
SOCK, surpllce and black STOLE all emble-
matte OF death. At the three-hours service
the piack cassock is simply worn. The sery-
Ice that will doubtless attract the largest
number Of worshipers will be the 'Three
Hours Agony Service" as it is commonly.
