There waf- tbs usual Easter
services in the Catholic church
yesterday, low mass at 9 o'clock
and high mass at 1890. Father
Reggie, of Creighton college,
Omaha, talked of the fall and
redemption of man. 1t was a
talk that went straight to one,
God, the Almighty, placing
Adam on earth in the midst of
pleasures, leaving him free to
do as he wished. but impressing
upon his mind the one injunc-
ton that he must not eat of
the fruit OF one tree. 1t was
an easy commandment to obey,
but he proved his humanness
by breaking the favor God
asked of him. Atthat moment
he committed what is known as
the "original sim" Hence the
soul of every child that is born
into this world is purged with
this Original sim But God, in
His infinite mercy, has shown
us a way by which we can be-
come free from this stain, by
the sprinkling of water on the
head of the child and saying,
II baptize thee in the name OF
the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost
LIN the days Of old, every man
who did not possess great
riches was doomed to a life of
slavery. Thus it was when
Christ came upon earth. And
what did He do, He who could
have anything He desired? He
worked and sweat and labored
with the lowest and vilest of
mankind. There were no
earthly aims or considerations
in His mind He only struggled
and toiled to please His Father
and to lead the people out of
the awful darkness into the
light of Gods love. His life
was one beautifully sad poem,
| all His trials and vicissitudes
ending imam ignomonious death
on the cross. Even at the final
moment, His heart was heavy
with sorrow and pity for the
poodle who were so cruelty
putting Him to death He
prayed for them. And on that
beautiful Easter morn so long
ago, when the people went to
the tomb in which they had laid
His body, they saw a youth
sitting on one side of the grave
They looked for the remains Of
our Saviour, and the youth
turning to them, said, "Oul
