GLORIOUS EASTER SERVICES.
In Honor Of the SaViOr'S Triumph Over
His Enemies.
Sermons and Music Appropriate to
Easter i'm the Churches
TO=rIorrOw.

AS usual, nearly all the churches in
the city will hold special services to-
morrow commemorative of ChrlStS rise
from the tomb and ascension to heav-
en-. Easter Sunday services rarely 1all
to attract crowds of people to the varl-
Gus places of worship, and the day dl-
vides with Christmas the distinction or
being the only occasion on which some
people cross the threshold of the house
of God But these occasions may be
the means often of "breaking the ice"
for others who had long strayed from
the fold.
THE CATHEDRAL.
The services at the Catholic Cathe-
dral will be of unusual interest. Pontifi-
cal high mass will be celebrated at
1920 O'Clock, Right Rev. Bishop Grace
officiating, assisted by Father Walsh
and Father Mulhall deacon and sub
deacon, respectively. Rev. j. j. Hynes
of Woodland will be master of cere-
monies.
The Papal benediction will be given
Immediately after mass, and sermon
appropriate to the occasion Will be
preached by Father Walsh.
The music accompanying the pontifi-
cal high mass will be of the usual i'm
pressiVe character. A Grand Process
sional March," rendered by organ and
orchestra, will herald the entrance OF
the officiating clergy, after which the
music of the mass will be commenced
by the choir and instruments uniting
in Marcos solemn "Kyrie." Then Will
follow the Gloria" also Marcos. These
selections, being singularly free from
repetitions and light, flowery effects,
are truly elevating and inspiring.
The "Creedo," 'Sanctus," "Benedic-
tus" and "Agnus Dei'' are from the
Gilsinn-P -Pacini "Missa Solemnis." This
grand mass has a reputation as
work of great choral brilliancy and so
lidity 1t was published originally for
quartet double chorus and full mod
ern orchestra, and is one of five COM
posed for the church by Giovanni Pa
cini, that great lover and imitator OF
the celebrated master, Papa Haydn.
Besides the EFT IncarnatuS' (contralto
solo) and Agnus Del (soprano solo) TINS
mass contains a number of duets, trlos
and choruses, all very effectively ar
ranged, and without loss to the orig
