Easter at Masonic Temnle.

The usual Easter service of the
Knights Templar was held this year
at the Masonic Temple at p. m.
The hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, with members and friends of
the Masonic bodies. Visitors and
Sir knights were present from Dodge
vile, Darlington and Platteville. A
special train came from the two latter
places. 1t was met by the knights of
this city, who acted as an escort for
their visiting brethren. The RespOn-
siye service was conducted by Sir
Knight s. r. Shepard, prelate. The
singing was rendered by double
quartctte under the direction of Rich
ard Hughes. The hall was very
tastefully arranged, and on either side
of the arch, cross swords with the
helmet and the buckler, formed a
suggestive foreground for the bare
walls. The portraits that adorned
the hall were appropriately draped in
Masonic colOrs and Easter flowers,
that always animated those valiant
souls who in their day and generation
made themselves felt for the good of
the order so near and dear to them.
We thought that when the speaker
dWelt upon the useful life, he could
have pointed to the portraits and said,
These were useful lives, in the com
munity, lodge and church" The ad
dress was by Rev. M. Chase. of this
city. The subject was, 1.-THE Quest of
the 10th Century" which he defined as
the useful life in service to our neigh
bors and the world, and which he said
was made possible by the faith of
Easter of which Sir Knights were the
defenders. lie found his many illus
trations of his subject in the history
of the order and its relation to the
world. After the exercises, on the
kind invitation of Eminent Command
er W. G. Hales, the Sir Knights
repaired to the banqueting hall,
where an informal reception was held,
and the hunger of the body satisfied.
The train left for Darlington and
Platteyille at Gp. M, and this brought
an end to one of the red letter days of
Masonic history in this city.

Easter at St. Paul'S Catholic
Church,


Easter Sunday was observed at St
Paul's Catholic church with the Gus
tomary beautiful and impressive ser
vices. This festival, the greatest oI
the ecclesiastical year, was honored
by the extra decorations in the
church; especially those Of the Altar
and Tabernacle, which were almost
concealed amidst the profusion Of
natural flowers Of many and beautiful,
varieties, besides ferns and ivy. The
young ladies who had charge Of this
work merit. and have, the regard
which they deserve. The bright lights
shining and glimmering between green
leaves, and the buds and flowers
from bra2cn candlcstcks, the pure
white altar linens and pendant golden
lace, together with the richly en-
broidered Vestments Of the CeIebrant,
were strong evidence TO the WOr-
shippers that a solemn ceremony was
being enacted.
The singing was very fine. The

young members, but very efficiently
aided by others, sang II very fine and
pleasing mass, intcrsperscd with
Easter hymns and anthems. The
singers did great credit TO themselves
and TO Miss Gcrtic Wcidcnicllcr,
whose success in preparing for the
occasion was very favOrably com
mcnted on by those present.
Father O'KcCGc gave n fOrciblC and
instructive sermon, taking as his text
the word OF Holy Scripture, ole is
risen; He is not here, behold where
they laid him. He said that the
Resurrection was the greatest christ
ian feast, for it was the fullillmcnt Of
the prophecies and Christ's promises,
and the confirmation Of the one Truth
in which mems hopes were centcrcd ,
the Future Life. The Resurrection
WAS the victory Of life over death, Of
God over Satan, Of virtue over vice.
Had not Christ arisen, all his former
works on earth would have been in
vain, and mems longings shattered
through disappointment, and men
abandoned TO despair, death only the
end Of existence; civilization and
world s history would have been diff
crcnt. AS the suiIerings Of the noble
men Of the American Revolution
would have been Gruitlcss had they
not conquered the enemy, prOClaIming
victory by the establishment Of liberty
throughout the land, 80 our country
history would have been different.
And If we wish TO enjoy that liberty
~ freemcn, and if that liberty is to
be pcrpctuatcd, we must obey the
laws ana guard the constitution. SO
If we would share the liberty that
Christ brought into the world, His
graccs, and His protection; If we
would partako in His victory over
death, and would be with Him in the
Resurrection, we must obey the rules

Mrs. A. j. Mcdaniel Passes AWAY.


In the death of Mrs. A. ]. Mcdaniel.
which occurred at her home in Irvington
on Friday last, our village loses an esti-
mable lady and the Baptist church, of
which she had been a member since
childhood, one of its best members.
Mrs. Mcdaniel was born February IA,
1872, and was a daughter of Thorton B.
Hayden, deceased. On May 90, 1891, she
married Mr.. A. j. Mcdaniel, three chill
dren having been born to them, the
youngest but five-months-old.
For nearly year the deceased had
been terrible sufferer from consump-
ton and other diseases, and the tender
mintstrations of loving friends seemed
merely 10 delay the grim monster-Death.
A short while ago she was taken to Bal
timore for treatment, but returned little
improved. During all her sufferings
she displayed wonderful Christian
resignation and fortitude.
The remains were laid to rest Sunday
afternoon in the Baptist cemetery, where
large crowd gathered to pay their last
respects. The sermon and services at
the grave were performed by Rev. F. W.
Claybrook, her pastor.
The husband has the sincere svmnatbv
of his many friends in Irvington and
elsewhere.
