The arrange ment was the work of Miss Lucy Oates, sister of Mrs. Graham. So beau tiful was it that a photograph was made after service. Mrs. David S. Yates, Mrs. E. A. McCausland assisted Misns Ootes. Dr. McGeachy's subject was "The Meaning of Easter," and it was heard by a congregation which overflowed into the Sunday school annex. He traced the history of Easter, from ! it pagan origin to the present form most elaboratelv decorated of celebration, the elaboration of lies were the Second Presbyte-J eac hpoint making up-a very beauti ful whole. In elaborating the point of the empty tomb and the women's arrival there, Dr. McGeachy said: "The wo men who came found an. angel guard ing an empty tomb Christ's -body is gone. In three short days there is nothing left. This, then is the final destruction of the dreams of those who had been mot closely associat ed with Him. One battle has cost an empire, one frost- has dashed the hopes of an abundant harvest 1 arid one death had wrecked the hopes of those on that' first Easter day Christ's death changed all for those people. All those who had followed Him had nothing further to even hope for. 'He Lives." "But then the wonderful thing oc curred. There an Angel guarded an empty tomb. Even though the body of Christ was not there, thep lace where He had lain was so sacred that the Angel tarried and worshipped. "And then they saw Him a little later in all the beauty of His immor tality. Can we fancy how they felt when they realized that victory had. been snatched from defeat? And how anxious they were to see the others? They had something " to tell. Here was the most wonderful miracle of St. Peter's Catholic.

This great and blessed truth was confirmed by our Lord's greatest miracle the resuscita tion of Lazarus and by his own resur rection from the dead." - The first prop osition mentioned was the sad and sol emn fact of physical death, the shad ow of which is still over the race.

At 11 a. m the Church of the Holy Comforter was filled and the largest number in the history of the church were present to receive the Lord's Supper. The Easter anthem, "When Vii3gan to Dawn" showed the excellent train ing at the hands of the organist, Miss Isabel Ijirr, and the solo parts were wel ltaken by Miss Mary Peasely, Mr. W. E. Jones and Mr. C. P. Leith. Mr. Osborne preached on "Paradise. Death is tran-'tne Place of Disembodied Souls and First Baptist Church The Easter services at the First Baptist church were largely attended great congregations filling the audi torium and overflowing into the gal lery, were present at both hours. The music was superb and the congregation has never had a finer musical program. Mrs. Alex Stephens being organist The decorations were 'appropriate and artistic and the entire program was in perfect accord with -the occa sion. ' "The Glorious Easter Message" was the theme of Dr. Vines' sermon at the morning hour. His text was. John 11: 25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth on me though he die yet shall he live; and who soever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Four propositions de- sition and not suspension. There was' a time when we did not live but there will never be a time when we shall not live. We are , immortal." Con tinuing, Dr. Vines said: "The stupen dous and sublime claim of Jesus Christ 'I am the resurrection and the life,' is the dynamic of the race. Fellowship with him brings everlasting life. Be cause he lives we shall live also." The gorious . goal of the Christian was the climax of the Easter messagei The Christian has potentially triumphed over death but his victory will be com. piete when Jesus comes again. "He shall reign until he hath put all ene mies under his feet and the last ene my that shall be destroyed is death." Christ is risen and become the first fruits of them that slept. Easter Services at St. Martin's and Church of the Holy Comforter. There were two services at St. Mar- tin'3 church on East Seventh street at 8 a. m. and 5:30 p. Mi. At 8 p. m. the Holy Euchrist was cel ebrated and the largest attendance which St. Martin's has had in its his tory was present. A vested choir of 16 voices, under leadership of Miss Eliza beth Green, organist, led the singing and rendered a beautiful Easter anth em, "Now is Christ Risen From the Dead." Mr. Osborne made a short ad dress on "Easter As An Incentive to Christian Faith Hope and Love." At 5:30 p. m. the children's Easter Festival was held and the children brought flowers . for the hos pitals an dtheir Lenten mite box offer for domestic and foreign mis- Mr. Osborne spoke on "The Heaven the Place of Re-embodied Spir its." At 4 p. m. the children of the Sun day school held their service and presented their Lenten offering for mis sions. Mr. Francis H.

Yescterday was a dr of joy .and spiritual feasting in St. Mark's Luther an church. After the solemn services of Lent and Holy Week the Hallelujah was again sung and the trimuphhant strains of Easter hymns and anthems voiced the praises of the multitude. From the 6:00 o'clock Matins to the Easter Cantata by the church choir at 5 p. m. the church was filled with hap py worshipers. At the Matins the chil dren's chorus led the voices, singing touchingly four Easter carols. The solo by little Virginia Lee Patterson, the pastor's daughter, was very impres sive. At the 11 o'clock communion service three catechumens were con firmed and four new members received by letter. These, with ten received on Palm Sunday make the total acces sion to communisant membership, seventeen. At 2:00 the Sacrament of the bap tism was administered to three in fants, children of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. K. Hummel, and Mr. oand Mrs. C. G. Shank. At 5 p. m. the choir rendered the Easter Cantata, "The Resurrection Hope" by Adams. The soprano solo by Mrs. W. H. Ocercarsh, the tenor solo by Mr. Harvey Overcarsh and the Japanese saloons have the American habit of always providing refresh ments other than drinks for their cus tomers. They are not partial ta sandwiches; usually it is a dish'ot herrings or octopus, and the price is 3 sen. It is seldom that a man can get away from a saloon without spending at least 20 sen, which is a large part of a poor man's daily wage. It is remarkable the world over that men will patronize any establishment ' that can show a pretty face, even though it be no; more than a picture on a cigar box. To place the picture of a pretty girl on anything is the very best advertisement. So the Jap anese think, too ; and what is more, they prove it. At their saloons, in the East End, there is always a pretty girl assisting the matron of the place ; and she is permitted to wait on custom, ers. The Japanese barmaid has all the influence that her counterpart has in the West. Her face is sufficient to make every passer-by imagine ha is thirsty, and when she proposes to serve him; he never refuses; and in. the end he foots therbill. The pretty, maid can make even the roughest customer feel for the moment that uu is a gentleman and she a fa come to do him honor. WTio could re fuse to accept so delicate a favor from: such dainty hands, and under the light! of such winning smiles? But once thei wine is finished and the money is paid,) the relationship is at an end. Another( customer, by this time is waiting, and the last having had his turn of con-, versing with beauty, must be content until thirsty again. Back he will likely come, next day, and drink anoth er glass to the health of a fair face. and then be off again satisfied for. another day. And so it goes on from day to day, the pretty face winning most, or much of the shop's custom. VETERAN ACTOR CRITICALLY ILL.' 'baritone solo by Mr. V. S Christ's life. Here was a man who of the text.
