At Trinity Church.

The rostrum of and immediate vici-
nifty of the altar were filled with lilies,
potted plants, and quite variety of
flowers. There were also attractive
floral decorations on the organ. The
musical part of the service was a
marked relief from the lack of diversity
that has obtained heretofore Trinity
has long been in the thrones of a
threatened musical dissolution, due
perhaps to an over appreciation of the
need of financial pruning to make both
ends meet in general church admins
tration. But the music committee
have evidently concluded that the nee
essities of The occasion demand an
expenditure in the ''organ loft" and
this step is in the line of wise fore
sight and realization of what eXpedien-
cy calls for.
In addition to the regular hymns, the
choir in the morning sang the anthem
by Sudds, Christ is Risen" and there
was tenor solo by Lawrence Jones en-
titled Calvary" At night the choir
sang Hear our Prayer" an anthem
by Sudds. Therewas also a soprano solo
by Miss Mamie Beall entitled Not a
Sparrow Falleth,' by Franz Art, and a
closing anthem 'sPrOtect us Through
the Night by Sudds. Charlie Rok-
abr sang bass in the evening, as there
was no nlgnJ service at st. Clement s.
For the very brief time this choir has
been together they did remarkably
well, the closing anthem of the even
ing being given in particularly pleas
ing manner. The closing morning
hymn, Coronation, would have gone
better had the congregation caught
onto the tempo which was more rapid
than it had been accustomed to. The
tendency of any congregation is to
drag, and if left to its own DEVICES will
in time turn the shortest into the long
est kind of a meter. Miss Bealt might
find cornet of service in forcing the
congregation up to the standard tempo.

Easter Sunday in Ell Paso for the
year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and
ninety-seven, was a red letter day in
church circles. 1t was essentially a
musical day, also essentially a ladies
day, and the deah women had every
thing their own way. N B.-They
generally do, but on Easter it is prac-
tlc1lly their own day; and with the
lady songbirds and the bran new hats
and bOnnets so much in evidence, that
common ordinary article called man
was for the time being RELOCATED to OBJ
lion. There will be no show for him
until the restoration of the customs of
the Charleses of England and the
Louis of France; when he will
have free course run and be glori-
fled. The nearest he can get to it at
present is in the line of knee brooches
and striped sack coats. and they don't
go on Sunday. The glorious blue eyed
blondes aud the charming, lustrous
eyed brunettes with cheeks tinged with
tints, were out in full
force. and these with the new Easter
costumes, made the various church
auditoriums veritable bowers of beau
ty.
The music was the most pretentious
ever given in this city, and interested
every body as may be imagined from
the following accounts. Then the
preachers were at their best, aud their
commemorative of the day
we're scholarly efforts to attentively
listened to.

after years. Every woman should be
particularly car eful of her health dur

child is really part of herself. Dur
ing all this time, she should keep her

take proper precautions against her

At the Catholic Church.

The church of the Immaculate Con
ception on Myrtle avenue was crowded,
so that chairs had to be brought in,
and as the services began at 10 a. m,
not few people attended church here
ere going elsewhere at later hour.
The east end of the auditorium was
profusely decorated with lilies, roses,
yellow and white chrysan themums aud
othes flowers. This display with the
burning candles and ornamentations of
the altar made an attractive SIGHT.
AS was announced, Rosewig's mass
in + aud part of Mercante's mass were
sung, and for an otfertory Mrs. w. w.
Rose sang Luigi LuzZi's Ave Maria.
The music was very good. The Rose
wig mass is rich in harmony, and the
chords in some of the closing strains
were inspiring. With the limited in
Strumental resources at command, Mrs.
Rerrien the Organist did remarkably
well: and she handled the score in
Il pleasing way that whetted the, music
al appetite for the same as given by a
large orchestra or grand organ. The
entire musical part of the service was
very &C teptable.
Father Cahill preached the sermon.
He related how Christ foretold his
death and resurrection by prophecy.
This was so well known to his enemies
that the first thing they did after his
burial was to set a watch at his sepul-
chre and to atfiX the Official seal to the
stone that was used as door. 1t is
important we should understand the
facts and the evidence that brings con-
viction to the heart of every man. The
speaker detailed at length the well
known historical facts of Easter morn.
the earthquake, the coming of the
angels. the terror of the guards, and
their flight into the city. This scene
was the verifcation of Christ's claim
that he was able ID lay down his life
ard to take 1t up again. The
speaker also referred to the coming of
the women and the two apostles
to the sepulchre; then to the subse-
quent appearances of the Savior to the
apostles and the disciples. Lessons
were to be drawn from this of spirl-
tual resurrection, also belief in the
incOntrOvertible evidence of the resur-
rection and the divinity of the Christ an
faith. Let us have greater faith than
doubling ThomaseS, and let us believe
in the resurrection of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. He who believeth
not shall be condemned.

At the PRESBYTERIAN Cl.urch.

THIS church was packed with eager
list at both services, and at night
scores of people were turned away, un-
able to gain entrance. The morning
audience especially was one of the
dress est audiences ever seen in an Ell
PaSo church, and there were so many
fine Easter hats, that the male part of
the audience paled into utter inSignif-
canoe: Il magnifying glass seemed nee
esSary to locate them. The floral dec
oratious elsewhere in the church were
fine, and consisted in Gala and Easter
lilies, roses, ferns, and an elaborate
floral exhibit tina. made the north wall
of the church look Ike Il thing of
beauty and JOY forever. The must
cal part Of the service, as was expect
ed, was of an exceptionally high order.
and those who worship in the service
of song as well a5 ia the preaching
part Of the service, found full scope for
the exercise of their devotional feel
ingS.
The Presbyterian church has always
been noted for its music, and the fact
that Misses Shelton and Ullman have
been there 50 long and have sung so
long together has ever been an aSsur-
ance of that combination of the artistic
with the devotional that makes church
music so effective. The musical pro-
gram was well carried out yesterday.
ana the way the'FOlceS harmOnlZed and
the expression both solo and in en-
semble, were not only pleasing but
intensely gratifying Such high stand
ard of song is always an incentive and
source of encouragement to preacher,
and Rev. Mr.. Moore has that true
sense of the beautiful in devotional art
that enables him to appreca this.
Mr.. Moore preached his Easter
sermon in the morning from the text,
with what body do they come" Cor.
NN:35. The speaker said in part, the
quest Ons: Am 1 going to live again
when this life is over? What are our
friends doing in thc other world?
shall we know them are questions
which will always engage the intensest
interest Of men. WHO is it that does
not approach death with great curios-
ity? As Charles Kingsley said when
ne was dying. Ana that other ques-
ton, What kind of bodies shall we have
in the next life?-WbO is there that is
not Interested in it? Since many of us
have more friends youder than here.

! Christians hope? 1t is star of the
| first magnitude in the constellation of
/ salvation, it is the brightest star that
shines in the darkest night Jesus
! Christ is our hope: Jesus in us is the
/ hope of glory. Jesus says | am the
resurrection. He then is our hope 10
glory What kind of hope Is the
hope of the resurrection? There is Il
mechanical hope, and agricultural
hope: there are different hopes: but
what hope has the Christian man of q
better life? His is a tangible hope.
The speaker detailei the fall of hope
, at the crucifiXiOn when hope was dead
ened and for the time banished. What
is your hope today? The Christ who
was crucided, hung in agony, speared
by the Roman soldier, the body of the
dead Christ? What is your hope today?
No wonder Peter stood up and declared
we are begotten to a lively hope
through Christ the risen Lord. Jesus
preached to the people hope in him.
His life went out victorious life, and
it came again victorious.
What is the medium of our hope? 1t
is not through dead Christ, but
through his resurrection, through a
risen Lord. Why was there ever in
stituted a resurrection? Because it
was incorporated in the plan of God S
salvation. Where do you get the
promise of resurrection? Peter tells
us in the text where it came from. The
world today, is too much given to con-
sidering dead Christ. The bible is
not dead book, it is book of eternal
life. Where do you get the resurrec-
ton. for it is the basis of your hopes
today? 1t is given us through the |
mercies of Christ. The thought of the !
abu ndant mercy of your God should |
occasion the most beautiful thoughts |
in our hearts, and enable US to come |
off more than conquerors. The object |
of the resurrection is that unto US |
lively hope may be born to an in |

Rector Martin said: Sir Knights. |
greet you as fellow Christians profess
sing the same faita, acknowledging
the same Lord, aud holding firmly the
cardinal truths of Christ'S holy reli-
gion. | greet you as Christian soldiers,
men willing to draw your swords in
defense of truth as it is in Christ Jesus,
and if need be- to shed your blood in
behalf of our Lord. / greet you on
this Easter day when we are asse N bled
to commemorate the resurrection. We
are here to testify to our belief that
Christ rose from the dead, and the i'm
of the soul. God has given
us light in the lamp of nature. the only
light that thousands Of benighted pill
grims have had. But under its rays
men have been brought to see the
truth of the resurrection. There is no
such thing as death, the light of ma
ture tells Us. All you can do is TO
change forms: yOu cannot destroy in
the sense of humiliation. There is no
such thing as absolute death. Nature
reveals her truths beautifully, aud
everything we see speaks of the resur-
rectiOn. The oak grows from the acorn,
and the greatest endings come from the
smallest beginnings. There is within
you light that God has plac-
ed there, the light of reason,
the light of the inner con-
science, the knowledge that though we
die we shall live again. If there is no
life after death, there is no God. 1t
is one of Gods rules that nothing shall
be created in vain. We must wait.
hope, trust and believe: wait for the
of Gods providence in his
own time: trust in his mercy: hope in
his love, and believe i'll his faithful
ness. God gives Us the assurance that
man must live again. The old testa-
nent has the promises that are full
filed in THE new testament. Nonsense
cal is the mission of the savior if life is
not immortal.

ciating clergymeu realized they had

harp, you destroy the harmony. But
we all feel and know that the 81" in
us is different from the body. This is
| my brain, but the brain is not 81. "
! The true relation of the soul to the
body is not of harmony to the harp,
but that of the rover to the boat.
Even if the frail vessel is splintered by
the surges and the lightning, or rots
on the reef, the rover, the soul, is safe.
Spiritualism swings to the other ex-
IRENE and teaches that nothing but
spirit survives, and there is no bodily
resurrection. But Jesus did rise with
a real body, aud our bodies are to be
like his glorious body. Between these
unsatisfactory teachings comes the
teachings of Jesus and Paul which has
given joy and peace to the world. Our
bodies shall rise. 1t is sown a natural
body of flesh and blood, where the
natural, animal passions predominant.
1t is raised a spiritual body, a body in
which the spirit, the highest part of
man rules. 1t is sown in weakness.
How we get sick and suffer, are
fatigued here. But this body is raised
in power when fatigue and pain and
disease shall not harm it.Our senses and
faculties will be wonderfully intensif-
ed in the other life, when flesh and
blood shall not clog the reason or dim
the vision. Our bodies we bury here
shall rise again, changed but exchang
ed.
This doctrine of the bodily resurrec-
ton, brings whole arm loads of COM
fort. From it follows future recogni-
ton. Bless God we shall know our
friends yonder in tenderer and purer
love than we ever had here. What a
society is that other life. No sin. |
None want to sin. A common moral SEN
timent is there where souls shall move
in an atmosphere of rectitude and love. |
Living with the great masters of
thought and song, martyrs, warriors, |
Paul, Elijah, mother,
wife, friends-what a gospel to preach |
to men, there is no death to those |
who love Christ. He who believeth |
hath eternal life. Death cannot touch
L life like that. 1t is ageless. Dying
mere today, expect to take up my
work yonder the next morning. This
S the gospel that has kept the world
rom dispair, made the bells of hope to
ing in the human heart. There is no
no system of thought more
Idapted to keep the heart sweet and
-oung. Beautiful, hope giving, heart
oothing, gospel of the resurrection.
