Second Good Friday
OF the War Observed
With Great Solemnit,

More than usual solemnity marked
the observance Of Good Friday in New
York churches yesterday. This was
due not only to the fact that the SUI
prcme crisis of the war is being met
on the battletields of France, but also
to the remembrance that it was on
Good Friday last year that the United
States entered the world war.
Mere than 10000 persons attended
the special services at Trinity Chmrch h
during the day, the principal cxer-
cises being at l a m, with the Most
Rev: Ccsmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop
OF York, in the pulpit. Taking his
text from st. Luke xiii, "a: Father,
forgive them, for they knew not what
they do," the Archbishop led a PRAYER
for the people of Austria and Ger
many
1T is easy enough for us to forgive
these men" he said in his sermon. "but
what of the rulers? What Of those who
are responsible for this terrible con-
hict? What of those who do not know
what war means? When Jesus was
brought to trial the people cried: His
n'cod be upon our heads SO to-day
tins must be said Of those rulers who
have brought about this passion. If
we remain true to the spirit of Christ in
prayer must go up even for these
rulers. With the cross before our ewes
let US think kindly of the rulers, SOL
diers. peoples Of Germany and Aus
tria."
At the Cathedral of St. John the
DIVINE the Rev. II. c. Robbins, dean
i. OF the cathedral, preached at IL a. m.
urging his hearers to further sacrifice
IN the interest Of national victory.
! ne Rev. Theodore Scdgwick conducted
!he lasslon service at Calvary Church
in tfe afternoon. An instrumental pro-
grammc was given at the Brick Prcsby-
terlan Church at p. m, and at p. m.
lhe Kev. Dr. Mcndenhall, moderator Of
the Presbytery of New York, addressed
the congregation at the Fourth prcsby-
tcrian Church.
DR.. $. Parkes Cadman. pastor of the
Central congregational Church, Brook

War to Give Deeper Meaning
To Easter Services Tomorrow
BY Emma Bugbee

The most solemn Holy Week this
city ever has known will come to it's
climax with Easter tomorrow. The
great battle raging during TIE week
has thrown shadow over all custom
ary Easter rejoicing. The congrega-
tons attending special Holy Week ser
vices remembered that women were
Killed while attending Palm Sunday
services i'll Paris and that in London
the boom of the big guns sounded
above prayers, recchoing in the mind
and heart of every Amerian, however
lar removed from the actual lombard
ment.
These thoughts will find expression
IN N, every church in the Easter sermon.
| This is to be not a Happy Easter" in
the usual sense. 1t will be an Easter
OF renewed consecration, renewed
courage, and renewed faith in the
brotherhood of mankind. Just as the
flag will mingle with the lily in church
DECORATIONS, so the patriotic theme
will surge through the sermon.
Prayers for the safety of sons and
husbands at the front will be added
IN thousands of churches to the usual
service. and the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" will be added to
musical programmes.
The deepening of religious feeling as
a result of the war will find expression
IN larger attendance than ever at
Easter services, according to New York
clergymen, who stated plans had been
made to accommodate more than ihc
usual number. Churches which have
been holding services in chapels and
Sunday school rooms because of the
Goa coal shortage will move back into
their main auditorums for Easter.
While the religious observanccs of
Easter have thus been increased, nc
ordinary pleasant trifes which ac-
company Happy Easter" have been
forgotten to large extent. The sup
ply of Easter lilies is reduced by the
coal shortage, which necessitated the
! closing of several hothouscs. and the
TACT that Easter comes early in the
season has prevented the usual trade
in Bermuda lilies. which are not vet
in blossom. The Bermuda lily has for
several years been afflicted with a
blight, however, and most Of the lilies
we have are raised from Japanese
bulbs. The market price Of the Jap
anesc lily is from 80 to so cents a
bloom instead Of 25 cents, as in the
past. Other flowers are common. cx-
cept azalcas, which are imported from
Holland
The food administration has nut q
calling off the annual Easter egg roll
IN the White House grounds President
Wilson has set an example to the rest
of the country which is likely to be
generally followed. Easter cards. too.
have been scarce and expensive The
National League for Women's Service
is one organization which has followed
the suggestion of the War Savings
stamp Committee. and has designed an
Easter greeting which is folded around
an ordinary government thrift card. 1t
reads: Easter greetings! Your quar-
tcrs to your country quarter to
the enemy!"
Special leave of absence has been
granted to an unusual number of men
from the training camps for over
Easter Sunday. and for those who re-
main there will be special Easter SER
vices in the camp auditoriums. The
Young Mons Christian Association
huts all over the country will have
three services in the morning-earlv

"Thc poor people could not pay, and

great contrast in England, where the
leading hotels were the first to cut off
their menus the food needed for the
soldiers and the industrial workers in

Mr.. Hoover made it clear that sue

be achieved otherwise than by sacri-

more bitter difficulty in the delays of
shipping, in the growing scarcity OF

the Allies than we had anticipated.
I'VE had all expected that the Argen-
tine supply would be available in
Europe before this time. Those sup
plies will. not arrive for another two
months IN quantity, and even then will
be less than we had expected. The
consequence is that the supply Of
