e e I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1901. EASTER IS AN IDEAL DAY Farth is Brightened with a Oloak of Genial Bunshin EVIDENCE OF BUDDING SPRINGTIME Elnhorate Services in the Var Churches of Omaba—=Decors BeAtting the Giad Season 1 Everywhere. “Gloria ‘n Excelsis Deo” floated upward from a hundred choirs in Omaha vesterday 1t was the first Easter Sunday of the Twen- tieth century, to the churchman the queen of days, the feast of hope. From a hundred pulpits was told the story, always new, of the dispersed guard, of the broken seal, th empty sepulcher and the Jesus of Nazareth that is risen. All things, it seemed, were in sympathy with the spirit of the day. From the blue canopy of sky, flecked with fleecy clouds, the sun shone genially while on sheltered banks was apparent the first hints of green, the harbingers of spring Thus Aid nature share the hosannas of the de- vout, All the churches crowded with worshipers for the morning service, and the churches, like the worshipers, were re- «plendent in decoration, as befits the joytul occasion. In many of the more fashionable the congregations suggested vast flower gardens, riging, terrace upon terrace, from altar to vestry 1deal Day for Eversbody. In a secular sense it was an ideal day on which to celebrute deliverance from the long seciusion enjoined by Lent, and femi- ninity made the best of it. She was glorious o new gown and hat. And her soul was in a receptive mood. Conscious of her fit- ness, she could bow in becoming humility, with a neart sweetly penitent, tender like the bursting bud, as she listened to the pacans with tearful appreciation. There is nothing 1ike a taflor-made suit to stimulate A spirit of thanksgiving. The beauties of the service appealed to the car and (o the eye. The swinging plangency of the chant and the animated 1ilt of the hosannas blended harmoniously with symphonies in mousseline de sote and brocade, while over all hung the delicate odor of flowers or incense from the altar. ‘The fair bride was there, exquisite in modish garb, and the stately matron, con- scious of her comeliness in grays and browns. The husband, brother and father were well represented, upon this of all the days of ihe year the attractions of the house of worship are most potent. All day well-dressed throngs crowded the sireet cars or tuok constitutionals upon the streets. The ali smelt of spring. There was something at once bracing and balmy in the ntmosphere which made indoors seem in- tolerable, so all who were able to walk or ride went abroad to fill the lungs , with ozone and incidentally, perhaps, drink In wome of the religlous fervor of the day. It wag an Easter Sunday that will be long re- membered. were EASTER AT CATHEDRAL Floral Decorations Superb, Musie Grand and Sermon Eloquent. Easter Sunday was beautifully celebrated at Trinity cathedral, the inspiring service of the Episcopal church being given with special musical teatures. The interior of the cathedral was a veritable bed of flow- ors and & profusion of lilies, carnations, palms and other potted plants in the chancel almost hid the choir from the view of the congregation. J. EeButler et the organ conducted the ‘musical - program, which opened with Du Tols' “Festival March.” Next the choir sang “Christ the Lord is Risen Today and the solo parta were brought out with splendid effect. The forty or more voices of tho cathedral choir gave fine expression to “God Hath Appointed a Day,” ‘“Christ Our Passover,” “As it Began to Dawn' and other anthems. Miss Anna Hungate, in a clear soprano voice, sang "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth.” The reces- slonal was, “Hark! Ten Thousand Voices," and the service closed with Handel's “Hallelujah” chorus from the organ. Dean Campbell Fair's sermon was ap- propriately devoted to the resurrection. He described in heautiful language the eternal Jife that is before all Christians. “I be- lleve in the resurrection of the soul, the mind, the hand, the body,” declared the dean. "I will not argue the proposition, but I make the assertion that it is true an positively and emphatically as it is pos- siblo to make it.”” SINGING PRAISE TO REDEEMER, cen at All Saints' Church Rich in Musical Grandear, . The services at All Saints' church on ster morning attracted a large congre- gation and was a beautiful one in every wiy. The edifice was exquisitely deco- rated, a protusion of Easter lilies and white roses mingling Wwith palms and other follage. Tho front of the altar was almost hidden by the decorations, the background belug formed of green. Across the top was a row ot Easter lilles and lower was & Yow of white romes, The chancel screen was entwined with vines, with a bank of flowers and palms at the base. Here and thero were potted plants. On the front of the desk hung a small cross of white flowers. The music was a feature of the service. The prelude was a dainty rendition of a melody by Tschaikowsky for the violin and organ. C. F. Steckelberg was the violinist and J. H. Simms presided at the organ. The choir sang during the early part of the service Buck's “Christ, Our Passover,” Parker's To Deum in B and No Ambition “] feel so completely run down. I am so easily tired. My nerves are weak, and I am just about discouraged.” Your doctor calls this “anemia,” or poverty of the blood. A great many people have it every spring. And a great many physi- cians prescribe Ayer’s Sar- saparilla for it, too. And why not? We tell them all the ingredients, and this makes them confident that there is nothing its equal for making pure, rich blood. 9100 0 botte. Al druggiats. J.C. AYER €O, Lowell, Mass, Buck's Benedictus in the contralto solo by inod, was one of the excellent numbers of the program and | was sung by Mrs. Myron D. Smith, with violin obligato by Mr. Steckelberg.

Jenkn Prone Aimid Mo Atting Environments. The First Presbyterian church was bea tifully decorated in celebration of Easter The center of the floral decorations in the pulpit was a cluster of callas. About these | were banked Easter lilies, palms and jon- quils. Special musical programs were given at both the morning and evening services under the direction of Mrs. Howard Ken- nedy, jr. In the morning the services opened with an organ selection, “Unfold Yo Portals.”” A quartet, composed of Mits Grace Northrup, Mrs. D, A. Campbell, Mr. W. W. Grigor and Mr. Will McCune, sang | Schilling's “Christ, Our Passover.” Miss Northrup sang “The Easter Dawn.' In| the evening Miss McCune, Miss Jessie Mc- Cune, Mr. Northrup and Mr. J. H. Adams assisted the regular quartet in a sacred concert made up of selections from Stain- | er's “St. Mary Magdalene” and Th. Du Bois’ “The Seven Last Words of Christ.” Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks' morning ser- mon was based on the following words ‘But these are written that ye might be- lteve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of | God; and that belleving yo might have lite through His name.” He said in part “We might dwell upon the joy of season. Spring comes with beauty song. Life is being raised from ter's sleep. Bee the and the win- We might rehearse what poets and philosophers have sald of a future Ife, but the day celebrates a great fact, which confirms our joy and our hopes. Upon this fact we can lay a foundation of faith and of a life more abundant. “We have undoubted evidence that Jesus was dead when laid in the tomb. It is im- possible to belleve that He merely swooned and then revived, for with such wounds how could he find strength to go to Emmaus, (0 101l away the stone, to walk to Galllee? Neither could we believe that He would found a church on fraud and that that church would grow. “That the Jows did not steal the body is certain, for if so, they could have pro- duced it wnd crushed forever the preachers of the resurre:tion, either did the disciples take away the body. Can we imagine such & thing and such leaders as Peter aud John and Thomas not cognizant of the move? The disciples did not understand that He was to rise until he appeared. “The evidence is that the disciples were dreadfully disorganized, fearful and in hid- ing when Christ rose. But after Pentecost they went forth boldly, preaching as ey witnesses of the risen Lord. They never could be silenced, and when martyred they still bore testimony to what they had seen. ‘“There also is Saul, the persecutor, an educated Jew, philosopher and wan of reputation and standiog. He saw the risen Lord, became convinced and from a flerce persecutor developed into the most frulttul of all the disciples in establishing the church, finally suffering martyrdom at Rome. “So these evidences arc offered that we may believe a great fact. It we accept thia fact, others are easy of belief. Faith brinks life-abundant and hope for the future.” FERNS AND LILIES BVERYWHERE. Rev. Sargent Teaches an Easter Len- aon in Sermon, The Easter services Sunday morning at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church were opened amid the fragrance of ferns and lilies. A solo, “There is a Green Hill Far Away,” was sung by Miss Josephine Tenick. In speaking trom I Corinthians xv, 20, Rev. C. 8. Sargent sald in part “The world has a great cloud haoging over It. We enter upon no business that we know is certain; we enter no path that we know for sure where it leads; we have no burden of which we are certain when we will be relieved. There is no joy or pleasure upon this earth that is absolutely assured. But suddenly the clouds are parted. There stands In the opening the shining presence of Christ who, like the brightness of the sinking sun, gives prom- ise of a better day. Jesus leads; but a multitude follows. The first fruits bring other frults. When Germany was troubled a score of years ago there was a hand working and beckoning, stirring up the people. It was Bismarck's hand uniting Germany. And so It is with Jesus' hand. It is stirring up men's hearts and uniting them In the work of God “Men say, ‘Why not let the evil alone? What have we to do with them? We have everything to do with them We are their saviors, thelr keepers, and we should pra earnestly to God for strength and faith, that when the end comes, that awful word of Christ's may not be said of us: ‘It were better that a millstone be tied about his neck and he be at the bottom of the sea than that he had caused one of these little ones to offend.’ " MIRACLE OF THE RESURRECTION, at Trinity ‘The Miracle of the Resurrection” was the theme of Rev. D. K. Tindall's sermon at Trinity Methodist Eplscopal church yes- terday morning. “A miracle is not simply a wondertul or a marvelous deed. Earth- quakes are wonderful, but they are not miracles. Many inventions are marvelous, but they are not miracles. Anything done in accordance with patural laws is not a miracle,” said the preacher. “A miracle is the reaching of a natural result by an unnatural method “It is & short cut to results. The resur- vection of Jesus was not a revival, trans- migration or re-creation. This miracle Is one of the credentials of Christianity. It as necessary to introduce Christianity 1o the world. Phyiscal miracles are no louger necessary, for the Savior has been made known to the world. He lives again and because of His death and resurrection all who believe in Him shall also enjoy an- other life.” HREE GROUPS ABOU Herrl Congregational C At the First Congregational church Sun- day morning Rev. H. C. Herring took for his text: “Come and see the place where the Lord lay."—Matt. xxvill, 6. The speaker Qescribed the three groups of people about the tomb—the women, the disciples and the angels, and then portrayed three symbolic fgures, setting forth pagan despair, old testament prophecy and Christian hope. He then concluded as follows: “There is no room to doubt which of the three figures shall abide. The shining figure of Christian hope is prophetic of the time when pagan darkness shall turn to light. Still lies a great part of the world under the shadow of death: still the ancient peo- ple of God abide in the twilight of partial faith. But, surely as God lives, the light Is Rev. spreading. Some day the central figure shall throw its radiance over all. All the broken hopes of men, all partial faith, must fade before the growing light of that final faith and perfect hope which dawned upon men in Jesus Christ The pulpit was decorated with a double row of ferns and lilies. A solo was sung by Mrs. A, B. Rly. EA AT A ams Are Presented Services. Catholic churches yesterday special attention given to the music and the full tones of the organ jolaed the volces of the singers for the first time since Maundy Thursday, when the music was si- lenced in commemoration of the passion of the Lord. At §. Philomena's cathedral Marzo's mass (op. 32) was sung, the sololsts being Mrs. T. A. Cobry, Miss Genevieve Croft, J. W. Brennan, J. C. Swift, Miss Ella Croft and Miss Veronica Doherty. Father . I, Carroll was the celebrant of the mass, assisted by Father James Stinson, deacon, and Father P. A, McGovern, subdeacon. Father McGovern preached the sermon, his subject being “The Resurrection; Its Im- portance as Proving the Divinity of Christ At St. Peter's church Millard's mass in B flat was sung, the soloists being Miss Wyman, Mise Murphy, Miss Morrell, Miss Myers, Mr. Duval Mr. Ingoldsby, Mr. Bush- man and Mr. Balduff. Father P. L. Ken- edy was the celebrant, assisted by her James Ahearne, deacon, and Father Mul- lens J.. subdeacon. The text of the sermon preached by Father Ahearne wns taken from the words of the gospel for the duy, “He Is Risen.” At the Sacred Heart church Leonard’s muss was sung, solos being rendered by Mrs. C. A, McCreary, Charles Barry, Misses Amy O'Brien. C. Knight and Nellie Cannon. Mass was celebrated by Father Casey and the rmon on the resurrection was preached by Father Judge. Cimarosa’s “Military”" mass was sung at the Holy Family church, with €. Miller, H V. Walsh, Mr. Jacobson, and Misses Da- haney, Shannon and DeLisle as vocalists. At St. John's church Pacinl’s Italian mass was sung, the vocalists being Mrs. J. Stewart White, Mra. A Bethge, Miss Rose Brady, H. V. Burkley and James P. Murphy. Mass was celebrated by Rev. J Kuhlman, 8. J., assisted by Rev. J. Neenan, deacon, and Rev. F. Shierman, The sermou was preached by Rev Corcoran At St. Cecilia’s the choir, under the lead- ership of Prof. McCarthy, rendered appro- priate music. Father Harrington celebrated mass and preached the sermon, taking o8 his theme “The Resurrection.” OLIC CHURCHES, Special Mos nt At all of the . Al the Ri B Simple Easter Ceremonies at Newton M. Mi ® Charch. The morning services at Unity church, Sevententh and Cass streets, were simple, little concession being made to the con- ventionalities of Eastertide. The choir con- sisted of three persons. Upon either side of the altar stood a pot of palms, and this was the extent of the decorations. Newton M. Mann, minister, told the story of the resurrection from the standpoint of Unitarianism. He called attention to the fact that the ancient view of what becomes of the spirit after death differs materially from that generally entertained today “The anclents believed that the spirits of the dead went to an underground world,”” said he, “‘where they maintained a doleful existence, without regard to what their life had been on earth. Thus we read in the bible of Jesus being raised from the dead. It is never ‘from the grave,’ or ‘from the tomb,’ but always ‘from the dead.’ It means that his spirit was raised from among those in the underworld. “The taking on of some kind of a body may have beén mecéssary in order to make the apparition apparent, but as to what that body was writers do not agree. One says tho body was that which had been taken from the cross and buried; another that it was a kind of speetral body flitting hither and thither and finally disappearing into the clouds.” Rev. Mann sald in effect, that there may not In reality have been a resurrection and tbat the Impression that there had been one was due to the excitement and over- wrought imaginations of those who watched at the tomb. He said it was possible for a person to recall the features and contour of a loved one with such vividness that he would seem to be actually present in the esh, and thus, he thinks, the resurrection of Jesus may have been subjective merely —that it may have consisted in a reflex action of the brain upon the retina of the eye and tbat what the disciples thought they saw was but an illuston. Mrs. (oo sang a soprano solo, “The Heavenly Song,”" and Mr. Garelssen a bass solo, “Eyery Flower that Blossoms.” The Bridal march was played by Mrs. Anna C. Davis, organist. IMMORTALIAY RESURRECTION, Rev, A CONVICTION. No Theory, Declares R s Easter Sermon. Christ” was the subject of C. Hirst's Sunday morning ser- mon at the First Methodist Episcopal church. ““The resurrection,”” he sald, ‘s the keystone of the arch of humau re- demption and salvation. It is with the highest reason that paluters and sculptors, that oratory and literature, that logic and pathos have contended to give the noblest expression to the victory of the God-man over death, No fact 1s so clearly attested as the fact of the resurrection. Other leaders have had leaders who died and were no more. Our rellgion worships a living Christ. The central and fundamental miracle of Christlanity was the manifestation of God who appeared in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ “Prior to the resurrection morn immor- tality was a theory. Now it is a con- viction, deeply settled and fastened to the very sockets of the human soul. Even the most pronounced skeptic admits that Chiistianity has revolutiouized the world, its Influence being marked in music, art, history and civilization itself. To history it has givén chronology and we write ‘in the year of our Lord.’ To civilization it bas given the proper adjective and we speak of ‘Christiam civilization.' " A feature of the Easier service was the music and the superb decorations of the church, The pulpit was banked with lilies and palms, The vested cholr rendered a musical program under the direction of Thomas J. Kelly that was most praise- worthy. 1t opened with 8ir Avthur Sul van's Tower hymn, “Come, Ye Faithful." Following this Mr. Kelly played the organ prelude. It was the prelude to Wagner's “Parsifal,’ and the rendition was a most effective one. The cholr numbers were the anthem s It Began to Dawn,” by Sir George Martin: the offertory, Gounod's “‘Judex,” and the hallelujah chorus from Haundel's ““Megsiah." SAVIDGE'S “The Rov. A Risen REV. RAISE SERVIC Old-Fashioned Experience Meeting at the Peoples. A peculiar Easter service was held Sun- day at the People’s church by Rev. C. W. Savidge and the pastor of the church be- lleves that he had in his congregaiion the oldest man who heard Easter services in Omaha yesterday. This individual is Henry Fox of 215 South Twenty-second street. There were other old persons in the church ot that time. “Grandma” Dianah Connolly, who is 86 years old, and Mrs. Jane Carroll 80, came out and one aged woman was car- ried to the church in a chair from 2608 Pacific street. The church was decorated beautitully wich cut flowers, palms and Easter lilies. The sermon was on the | pised resurrection of Christ, but the real Easter service came, for the old folks at least, in the praise service, which was held at the close of the regular program That praise service was such as delighted the heart of Peter Cartwright and the fathers of Methodism in the west, who in the shouts of gladness and tears of joy saw the outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon the multitude, It was such a meeting as a8 common In the days when the old peor the cangregation ot religion” under the influense of some powerful exhorter and it brought back memories dear to the hearts of the uged and feeble, who came especially to hear and to see and, possibly, to take part in the “experience” meeting which fol- lowed the more dignified service of Easter. PR ANDHEWS PREACH f Nebraskn Daptist Charch, The First Baptist church was bright yes- terday with Easter lilies, jonquils and other flowers of spring. Special musical numbers were given by the choit in the morning and Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of the University of Nebraska preached the ser- mon. In the evening a secred concert was given by the Sunday school. The offertory solo, “The Resurrection,” svag in the morning by Mr. Marry Rowe Shelley, and Miss Ellsworth’s solo, “He is Risen! 1 Risen!” were very enjoyable Dr. Andrews' sermon treated the relations of Christ with Zaccheus, the wealthy pub- lican. ““The Redeemer did not spurn Zac- cheus because he was wealthy and des- by his neighbors. He went to the home of the publican and treated him kindly. There was much of good in Zac- cheus and Jesus recognized the excellent ualities of the man.’ sald Dr. Andrews till, He was not unmindful of the fail- ings of Zaccheus “He was careful to admonish man that all virtues are not embodied in giving. Liberality will not atone for lns. It is an exccllent virtue, but is secondary to other good qualities. A rich man should not be reproached merely because he is wealthy Christ dld not reprove Zaccheus because of his fortune. But it is easy to fancy the Savior reproving Zaccheus for his hoast- fulness and encouraging him to make his liberal giving one of a circle of desirable qualities “Christ and His treatment of the publican afford an interesting incident. He respected the wealthy man whom others spurned and afforded the world an excellent example. From His demeanor we may learn the lesson that weaith when properly acquired and used has its place, but that it should not bo allowed to interfere with the practice of the simple teaching which Jesus left for His fol- lowers." BARNABAS the rich ST CHURCH SERVICE, Full Choral Service in Given with an Augmented Choir, The Easter music was especially good at St. Barnabas' church Sunday morning and a large congregation was present. The full choral Kervice was given with an aug- mented choir. Cramer's Mass in E flat was sung, with Miss Marie Crounse and Miss Abba Bowen as soloists. Barnby's anthem, “Awake Up My Glory” and “The Morning Service,” by Williams, were most effectively rendered. The psalter was also beautitully chanted. The church was handsomely decorated with Easter lilies and palms, and these, in the brilliant light, made the altar re- splendent. The sermon of the morning was very short. The rector, Rev. John Willlams, spoke of the resurrection, call- ing especial attention to the hopes which come to the Christian because of this eveut IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOUL TO PER Rev. E. F. Trefs Applien Science t Show M 1 rtality. Kountze Memorial church was beautifully decorated with lilies and foliage for the service last night. The musical program was excellent, Mr. Holton sang “The Resur- rection,” and several fine anthems by the cholr followed. Rev. E. F. Trefz's sermon was on the be- ginning and the end of mortal things, in which he pointel out the impossibility of the soul perishing. He sald that scientists had proved that the body undergoes a com- plete change several times in the life of a man, but this makes no change in his \dentity. With this fact proved, why should it he thought that when the body changes trom life to death it could cause the soul to lose Its identity? After the sermon the cholr sang Heavens Are Telling.” “The R Only Be Hnd Where There in A No Dandr! Any man or woman who wants soft, glossy hair must be free of dandruff, which causes falling halr. Since It has become known that dandruff {s a germ disease the old hair preparations, that were mostly scalp Irritants have been abandoned, and the public, barbers and doctors included, have taken to using Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair preparation that kills the dandruff germ. E. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D., says: “Herpicide not only cleanses the scalp from dandruff and prevents the hair falling out, but promotes a new growth. Herplicide keeps my hair very glossy.” DOWN AN ELEVATOR SHAFT xon, Hotel Bell Boy Accident that Meets Nearly Willlam Dixon, a bellboy employed at the Paxton hotel, was serlously injured by fall- ing down an elevator shaft yesterday morn- ing The elevator conductor had elevator to an upper floor, leaving the door to the clevator on the office floor open.

It is understood that these as- sessors will make only the county assess- ment, the city assessment being left to the tax commissioner recently elected. Mu nicipal officers are of the opinion that the | valuation must be raised to at least §2 500,000 in order to bring in money enough to pay the running expenses of the city and at the same time keep up the interest on outstanding bonds. With the new charter the salary roll will e increased considerably and (herefore more money must be raised to maintain the city government. Until a certificate of election has been delivered to the tax com- missioner no provision will be made by the city for an office for this official. More than likely it will be necessary to rent an outside room, as the present city hall is crowded. The tax commissioner will| naturally need as much room as fhe city treasurer, and the chances are that the council, when it is reorganized, will make proper provision for the new officer Sewer The sewer recently constructed along the alley between Twenty-third and Twenty- fourth streets, from A to F atreets, s the | cause of considerable complaint.
