With a brief and beautiful service the Knights Templar openly celebrat- ed the anniversary of the resurrection of the head of their order last night service lasted little more than an hour. The Sir Knights marched from the Castle hall to the church in full uniform, arriving at the edifice just minute before o'clock, the an- nounced hour for the service. Spe- cial seats in front had been reserved for them, and in their two by two formation they marched down the center aisle to their seats, to the music of Onward Christian Soldiers" uncovering and seating themselves at the word of command.
 The service was led throughout by Dean Scarlett, who also preached the sermon, taking for his text, Thy will be done" Previous to this, however, he read as the lesson the account of the resurrection as given by St. Mark.
 Speaking of the will of God, the preacher said that often it was given a mistaken emphasis. It is Gods will, he said, that the world be saved but in this the wills of men must be united to the will of God for the ac- complishment of his purpose.

 Few people can reconcile the will of God with the path of the assassins bullet that entered the devoted frame of the saintly Mckinley.
 "The will of God is an effectuating good founded on love, and opposed to evil The statement. Thy will be done is not one of submission or resignation, but statement of faith that the righteous will of the AL mighty shall be accomplished and I shall do it.'
 | Following the service the Sir Knights marched out before the con- gregation The attendance was ex- ceedingly large for an evening service. while the hearty responses of the uniformed visitors added an element of beauty to an always impressive service
 At the Other Churches , All the churches prepared for an elaborate Easter day. Every choir had special music and every church was appropriately decorated with ferns and evergreens and Easter lilies and the ever-present and beautiful Arizona roses. Some of the churches made Easter day a special church joining day and the morning services were therefore made more impressive by the fact that hundreds plighted
