PASADENA, April 15.-Easter Sun
day at the Pasadena churches was even
more elaborately observed than usual,
both as to the lavish display of floral
decorations and the variety and extent
Of the musical programs. At the sew
| eral churches carefully prepared pro-
! grams of Easter music were rendered.
The chorus choir of the First Presby-
terian church gave the oantata "Mes-
siah Victorious" by William Ham,
mond, at the evening service. In the
First Methodist Episcopal church
Christ, the Victor" an Easter cantata
| by Dudley Buck, was given by the
chorus choir, soloists and orchestra,
also at the evening service. The chorus
and soloists of All Saints Episcopal
church sang the cartata, 1.-THE New
Life" by James H. Rogers, at the
! evening service in addition to an at
tractive program Of other music.
All of the churches except st. An
drew's Catholic gave their finest pro-
grams of music in the evening and to
crowded houses, people being turned
churches. At st. Andrews church
Father Gerard at 10:3 a. m. celebrated
solemn high mass, assisted by Father
Farrelly and Father George the last
from st. Vincent's college. In some Of
the churches the children were given
prominent places on the program. The
sermons at the morning services were
generally upon different phases Of the
story of the resurrection.
Were Disappointing
A little disappointing has been the
series of union evangelistic meetings
which closed Friday night in this city
after two weeks campaign. When
the meetings were planned the hope
was expressed that one of the most re-
markable revivals of religion the
Crown City has ever known would be
the result. The machinery of practical
ly every one of the local Protestant
churches was arranged as part of the
great machine which was to awaken
the city's entire church membership
and sweep scores of the unconverted
into the churches.
Fifty separate services were held dur
ing the two weeks and number of
special cottage or neighborhood union
prayer meetings. During the first week
the inclement weather kept the attend
ance down and during the second week
sickness thinned the ranks of the
leaders. AS a result the meetings are
said to have very largely failed in one
bership has been quickened and revived
but not enlarged. One of the churches
engaged in the series has determined
to continue the revivalistic effort-the
First Methodist Episcopal church,
which opens a special series of ten
days duration on Wednesday night
of this week-but the other churches
have not yet announced any similar
meetings.
Myers Team Won
Myers Pasadena team was winner
again today although it's opponent was
the pennant-winning Hamburgers
team from Los Angeles and the game
looked like anybody's until the end
Of the final inning. The local base
ballists were crippled by the absence
of Rickard, their catcher, who is laid
up with sprained ankle, but had Peck
the promising University of Southern
California twirler,, in the pitchers box
and a couple of bad defeats behind it to
urge 1t to its best. Peck showed some
of the twisters in his repertoire, but
was never under the best of control
and at the end of the fifth inning
was relieved by Grey, who kept the
game we'll in hand until the end. The
visitors were In fine condition and after
the first couple of innings, when both
teams were slack and loose in their
work, settled down to strong ball.
Nicholl. the Hamburger's left fielder
enlivened the game at one critical
point by a sensational catch of
ball which gamboled along high above
his head, but which he reached by
wild leap and took into camp. The
final score: Myers Pasadena team, Z;
Hamburger's, g.
