NEW CASTLE. April l6, 1897.

The services in st. Peters Church were
| largely attended last evening. The altar
in the church was denuded to-day and
stripped of its adornments The church is
desolate. The services this morning were
truly interesting.
Prophecies Of Chriits suffering are
sung, and the whole congregation perform
the alteration of the cross Then the
Passion, according to st. John, Is chanted;
all proceed silently to the ''fepulchre,"
whence the Host is brought back In pro.
cession, is offered in alteration to che
faithful and is consumed by the cele.
brant. On Saturday there Is foretaste
of the resurrection, and hopo and ex.
peetancy tingle through the service. The
new fire" obtained from flint and steel,
the light and warmth from Christ, Our
Rock" is blessed, as is the paschal cradle,
emblem of Christ acisen.
The prophetic passages of tho resurrec-
tion are chanted, the baptismal fonts are
given benediction, and from there the
clergy return in procession singing the
joyous litany of tho saints. The whole
service follows, 1t will be noted, in sym.
bolc fashion, the life Of Christ during the
last supreme days. With this as key
service meaningless otherwise becomes
full OF TRUTH becomes beautiful, becomes
source of pure inspiration.
