Fine Weather Gave Opportunity of Attending Services to Thousands. Easter Sunday was observed in Bemidji yesterday with beauti- ful services in all the churches. Appropriate sermons by the pas- tors, well rendered musical pro- grams, and in some of the churches exercises by the child- ren, were the features, All the churches were crowded morning and evening and scores were turned away, the beautiful weather being responsible for the unusual turn-out. At the Methodist church the larger gathering was in the even- ing, the seating capacity of both the auditorium and the Epworth League chapel being tested. The choir rendered three choice numbers under the direc- tion of Mr. Ryan. Prof. Syming- ton’s two cornet solos sustained his reputation .as a cornetist. The vocal solos by Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Peart and the violin solo by Mr. Moyer were well executed. The description of the three women at the tomb by Mrs, Harger was her own composition and was well given, as was the recitation by Mary Simons, The musical accompanists of the evening were Miss Harding, Mrs. Rogers and Miss Swanson. The morning services were also largely attended. There was an excellent program of Easter music folowed by a forceful ser- mou by the pastor, Rey. Isaac Peart. His subject was “Come and See Where the Lord Lay,” and he discussed the following points: Come and see wherein lay the best known person in his- tory. Come and see wherein lay the light of the world, Come and see wherein lay the spiritual emancipator of the human race, Come and see wherein lay your best “friend. Come and see wherein lay the guarantee of our resurrection. At the Presbyterian church the crowds - were large both morning and evening. The audi- torium was decorated with Easter lilies, roses and other flowers and plants, the feature being a large bank of flowers ex- tending from the floor over the rostrum., . The music was of the best an owed careful training by E. H:Jerrard. Rev. S, E. P. White preached at both services. His morning subject was, “The Resurrection Imperative.” He spoke first of the resurrection disputed, show- ing” how the Jews and the Romans scoffed at the miracle and bribed the soldiers to say that the disciples had stolen the body away while they slept. Rev. White then told of Christ’'s appearances after the resurrection proving him risen from the dead, and of the growth of belief. “The whole Christian doctrine rests upon the resurrection,’’ de- clared the speaker. “Christ and the disciples based all their claims upon it. Take away the belief in the resurrection and you .take away the strongest bond holding men to what is just and right. “Teach men to believe in the resurrection and you give them the greatest incentive that can be given, teaching them that they are created for higher ends, to which they can attain in time,” At the Baptist church the Easter services were combined with the Childrens’ Day exercises and the result was pleasing. The children gaye ‘a number of recitations and eight pupils were graduated from the primary de- partment and given diplomas. They included, Albert Brose, Max Horte, John Jarvis, Harold Cooley, Alice Hulett, Dasie and Helen Sullivan nnd Gertrude Huntosh, = The church was deeorated with W Steel Steamers Saxona and Eugene Zim- merman, Highest Class Lake Ves- sels, Came Together Today. BOTH SINK AND LOSS WILL BE HEAVY Easter lilies, plants and cut flowers, and there was a_special musical program. The house was packed, especially in the evening. Rev. Thos. Broomfield preached in the evening on ‘‘The Greatest Miracle,” treating the subject in an original way. His chief thought was that with Christ’s resurrection our resurrection is guaranteed, so that when he arose we all arose, This makes it the greatest miracle. 1n the Catholic church services were held at 8:30 a. m., when low mass was conducted, and at 10:30 when high mass was held. The crowds were so great that only half of the worshipers could be admitted, The music had been especially prepared and was exceptionally well rendered by the choir. Children to the number of forty- four received. holy communion for the first time. The girls were dressed in white frocks and the dresses werein beautiful harmony with the church decorations of lilies and other flowers. The arrangement of flowers about the altar was the work of Mesdames Charles Nangle, E. Gould and Otto John- sonand deserves special mention. The sermon by Rev. O'Dwyer was on tl}e subject, “Sorrows of Life" Shall Be Changed Into Joy if Borne With Christian Resignation.” He pointed out the fickleness of humanity as illustrated by Christ’s' triumphal entry into Jerusalem one day, and the clamor of the same multitude for his blood but three days later He then drew a word picture of Good Friday when Christ,” abandoned by friends, stands alone on the Pretorium and asks us to ““Come and see if there be woe like unto this woe.”’ Then the preacher described the woes of Christ consumated on Calvary with the final words “Mother behold thy Son.” ‘““As he uttered those words,” declared the speaker, ‘“the earth shook to its very socket, the rocks were rent asunder, darkness reigned over the face of the earth, the dead arose, Ah, it was nature pro- claiming the death of the God- man! Christ is dead but He has forewarned us to wait a little and and our sorrow shall be changed into joy.” Rev. O'Dwyer . contrasted human sorrow with those Christ. “Trials and sorrows, disappoint- ments of life, bodily harm, men- tal anguish we all wish to escape. All our natural instincts lead us to desire that our journey through this life may be smooth, that it may run through pleasant places and be shared by pleasant companions. Yet the burden oftrials at times is so heavy that the resolute and strong quail before them. St. Paul, strong and resolute though he was, prayed with ‘all the earnestness of his strong nature that his trials might pass from him. And our Lord when face to face with suffering, showed the reality of His human pature by praying for deliver. ‘My Father if it be possible let this chalice pass from me.’ But we should fail to understand scripture aright were we to rivet our whole attention on one portionof that picture; we must study its lights as welljas its shadows. “Our Lord faced human sor- rows,. the_sorrows which come from poverty, the sorrows which come from false friends, the sorrow which come from the spitfuluse ofauthority committed to those in power, the sorrow which comes from being misun- derstood by our nearest and dearest. -~ He tasted of each and all of the | many forms of sorrow. John, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., April 16.—The most disastrous col- lision in many years in the Soo passage occurred today when the steel steamers Saxona and Eugene Zimmerman came to- gether at the foot of the dyke. The Zimmerman sank at once, but the Saxona got ouiside the channel before sinking. Both steamers are among the highest class lake vessels and the loss on the hulls and cargoes will be beavy. No lives were lost. Last Call for Water Rent. Parties using City water have been duly notified by mail to call at the City Clerk’s office and pay water rent from Jan, 1, 1906 to, July 1, 1906. I am mstruct.ed by 'Lhe City water board to make this final call for water rent, and on failure to comply the water superinterdent is ordered to cut off the water ' supply, after 48 hours. THOS. MALOY, Clk. Water Board. We ask, could He not have abol- ished sorrows? Yes, He could, but it would have been a poor service to humanity to have abol- ished that which more than any- thing else serves to perfect human nature, foritis human sorrow that strengthens our character, hardens our resolu- tion, elevates our purpose in life, broadens our sympathies.” Easter was quietly but_fitting- ly observed in the Scandinavian Lutheran church. There was no special musical program, but the church was ftastely decorated with flowers and plants and Rev K. M, Peterson preached an in- structive sermon on *‘The Resur- +| rection.” WATCH THIS SPACE EACH WEEK YoU WILL SEE.; HE WILL TELLYbu 'SOMETHING TIGE WILL SOON BE HAPPY. WILL COME BACK.
