In st Marks Ev. Lutheran church
the evening service was devoted to
the celebration of the holiday when
a very pretty program consisting of
literary and musical gems was rem
dered by the members of the Sabbath
school and the church choir. A
large congregation was present who
appreciated the services very highly.
We published last week the ar
rangement for the music in st. Mat
thew's p. E. church which was car
ried out in every particular very
much to the qualification of the mem
bers of the church and the visitors
present at the services.
In st. Peters Catholic church the
morning services consisted of Low
Mass at 7.30 and a High Mass at 1890
O'Clock. Both services were well
attended by members of the congre-
cation, there being almost 300 com
municants at the early Mass. At the
1910 O'Clock Mass an able and appro-
pirate sermon was preached by the
pastor, Rev. +. A. b. Wunnenberg,
and Selle's Mass in G, beautiful and
inspiring composition, consisting of
the ''Kyrie," "Gloria in Excelsis,''
"Credo," "Sanctus.n 'Benedictus''
and "Agnus Del" was creditably
rendered by the choir with Miss
Nellie Browning ably presiding at the
organ. The evening services, at 7.3O
o'clock, consisted,of Vespers and Ben
ediction, together with special pray
ers and hymns appropriate to the
occasion. The altar was most taste
fully trimmed with palms, myrtle
and flowers and looked very beauti-
full, especially ut night when lit up
by the myriad candles so artistically
arranged thereon.
In St, Paul's II. f. church the
morning and evening services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. r. B.
Ward. The chancel was tastily dec
GRATED with vases of cut flowers. The
! program for the morning opened with
the usual ritualistic service, and the
text of the discourse was taken from
1st Peter, 1st chapter and Sd verses
theme, THE Hope of the Resurrec-
! tiOn Through Jesus Christ the Son of
God and His abundant Mercy The
sermon was excellent and received
the undivided attention of the con-
gregation. The choir rendered a
selection "Why Seek Ye the Living
Among the Dead" by Edwin A.
Glare. At the Sunday School service
in the afternoon a collection was
taken for the cause of missions. The
text of the evening sermon was taken
from 1st Peter, 1st chap er and 18th
verse, and the theme, 'The Inheri-
tance Incorruptible'' The church
