EASTER IN THE GREEK CHURCH. Bishop Nicolas Conducts Services in the Rus- sian Cathedral, At110'clock Saturday night the chimesin | the Greek church on Powell street rang out to the orthodox believers the announcement | that the services for the ‘“‘Holy and Great Sunday of Pascha,” commonly called | “Baster,” bad begun. ‘Within the church all was incense and soft light. Ev detail of one of the most formal religious ceremonies known to the world w carefully carried out. While the bells were ringing the warden lighted all the lamps and candles and placed two vessels holding burning charcoal one in the altar and the other in the middle of the church. On these incense was thrown in order that, in the words of the ritual, “the church may be filled with sweet per- fume. Then the western gates of the church were shut, the priest and deacon robed themselves in_vestments heavy with gold and silver, and the solemn ser were begun. Bishop Nicolas, in_the full robes of his high office, conducted the service in solemn dignity. The priest, with the hon- orable cross and the deacon with the cen- ser and long candles borne before them, entered into the ceremony, singing the “Stitcheron in tone 7.” The cathedral was crowded to its utmost limit, and the faces of the worshipers showed the depth of their religious feeling. There were = broad-browed, large-eyed women, whose heavy coils of black hair glistened in the flickering taper lights, and slender, swarthy men whose finely chiseled their Grecian blood, but among them all there was no sound save the low-toned responses to the ritual. Bishop Nicolas’ heavy bass voice made a | vocal background for the shriller tones of the young girls in the choir and the long ritual was carried out. The Ectenia, Lit- tle Ectenia, Irmas, Condakim, Icas and | exapostilorion were' intoned and repeated before Bishop Nicolas began that part of the ritual which stands in the Greek church instead of what in other religions is called | the sermon. It was here that the most impressive scene of the service occurred. In the words of the ritual then while all stand is read, The Catechetical Discourse of our Father in the Saints, John, Archbishop of Constantinople, the Chrysostom, for the holy and light-bearing Day of the most glorious and saving Resurrection of Christ our God. Bishop Nicholas then read the sermon, which for more than 1500 years has been the Easter sermon of the Established Greek church. and which is maintained because, in the words of one of the priests, “no one has heen found who could write a better one.” From a modern standpoint the Greek Easter sermon sounds like an invita- tion to a feast, and such it really is, for the npriests themselves feast after the service. But in the heavy in- cense-laden air, with the rhythm of the swinging censers, the deep-toned voice of the Bishop rolled through the vaulted church, the worshipers bowed lower and lower and crossed themselves with strong | fervor. As delivered by the Bishop, this is| the regular ster sermon of the Greek church translated into the English lan- guage: He that is pious and God-loving let him enjoy this good and bright triumphal feast. He that is a wise and prudent servant let the same joyfully enter into the service of his master. He that hath labored in fasting let him now receive his reward. He that hath worked from the first hour let him to-day receive his justaward. He that came at the end of the third hour let him keep the feast with thanks- giving. He that came in the sixth hour let him have no doubt, for he is in no wise re- jected. He that missed even the ninth hour et him approach, nothing doubting, nothing fearing. He that'arrived even at the eleventn hour let him 1ot fear on account of his delay. For the Lord, being condescending, accepteth the last comer es the first; he resteth him that cometh at the eleventh hour as he resteth him Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov't Report Rl .

Then come ye all into the joy of your Lord. Ye first and ye last, ye rich and ye poor, rejoice together. Ye tem- perate and ye slothful, honor the day. Ye that ave fasted and ye that have not fasted rejoice this day. The table is full, enjoy it, all of you. The cali is a fattened one, let no one depart a-hungered. Enjoy ye all the feast of faith.

It took what it saw and fell into what it did avenue and Sacramento street, were used with good judgment in decorating. Gar- lands of callas festooned the. chancel and formed a solid background of bloom, against which colored masses of hydrangeas, roses, hyacinths and azaleas made a bril- liant effect. Almost every window in the church was specially decorated in memorial to some one departed, and the font was filled with annunciation lilies and fern. The services began at 7A. M. and several priests were kept busy for hours adminis- tering the communion to the people. By 9 A. M. 300 had received the sacrament, and at the later service about 200 more ap- proached the altar. At 11 A. x. the rector, Rev. W. H. More- land, preached on “The Certainty of a Future Life,” and gathered the evidence of nature and of the human mind to_illum- inate the truth of the resurrection re- vealed by Jesus Christ. 8t.

Among the many beautiful altar decora- | tions was that in Trinity Church, at the | corner of Bush and Gough streets. The only colors were the white of the St. Jo- seph lilies and of the callas and the green | of the leaves of each and of the palms | and evergreens. The flowers were arranged | in amost artistic manner pleasing to the eye, and were a marvel of decorative art. At the morning service the vast edifice | was crowded, and the congregation listened | to Easter anthems, rendered in an excellent | manner by the choir, witnessed the com- | munion service, and were impressed by | the eloquent sermon on the resurrection | by the Rev. George Edward Walk. In the afternoon at3 o'clock California Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar, at- tended divine servicesat the church. There | were over 100 Knights in their regalia of | | black velvet and silver bullion.” Every | seat not reserved for the Knights was filled | by a congregation that took a deep interest in the impressive service. | A few minutes before the hour set for the service the bell in the belfry tolled, an- | nouncing the approach of the Knights, | and Rev. Sir George E. Walk, Rev. Sir | Edward B. Church, prelate of the com-i mandery, and Rev. H. L. St. Clair, assist- | ant rector of Trinity Church, took il{p a Ko- | sition at the portal and then the Knights | filed 1nto the main aisle of the church, two | abreast, and at the word of command | opened’ ranks, faced and crossed swords, | and the ministers and the officers of the | commandery passed under the arch of glit- tering blades and took seats in front of the altar, the organist in the meantime play- | ing a festive march. The Sir Knights were then shown to the seats, after which they uncovered and re- mained standing while the choir sang the rocessional hymn “Onward, Christian Boldiers.” Then followed portions of the ritual of the Episcopal church,in which the Sir Knights took part, and Rev. Sir Walk preached a sermon apgro riate to tne day, and why the Sir Knights had rea- son to be glad on this festival of Easter, and that was because it was the celebration of victory over death. The service closed with the singing of i ;‘A]leluin” and the benediction of the rec- or. 8T, MARY THE VIRGIN, Interesting Service in the Little Churoh in Golden Gate Valley.

This ceremony was in accordance with ideas recently expressed in a sermon by the Rev. Mr." Bolton on ceremonial. he banner borne by the altar boys and the handsome yestments worn by the officiating clergy were made bg' the ladies of the congregation.

SKIRT THE ~ FOOTHILLS, Nathan C. Carnall Tells Where the Boulevard Should Be. BEAUTIFUL CAMINO REAL Remains of the King’s Highway From San Francisco to San Jose. During several years, now some time past, much attention was given by certain parties resident in San Mateo County to the proposition of a great driveway or boulevard across that county, paralleling roughly the bay shore. The plan as con- templated then was to open such thorough- fare from Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, to New Almaden, about twelve miles south fr‘om San Jose. Thisroad was to be a foot- hill drive, that is to say, it was to traverse the country following generally the sin- uous line described by the juncture of the valley with the base of the coast range. It was to be located on elevated ground commanding views of the landscape and the bay, now climbing along the spurs of the lower hills, now dropping into the higher parts of the valley, and again mak- ing a detour into the foothills to find an easy grade through some low gap or con- venient and picturesque canyon. There were many purposes suggested for this road and many needs it was to fill, such as connecting existing county roads, which all, except one, between San Fran- cisco and San Jose. follow the creeks and canyons from the hill country to the bay or to the base line road which formed the exception. This latter is the main county road, known usually as the San Francisco and San Jose road, a really beautiful drive it- self, following practically the course of the old Camino Real or King’s Highway of the early Spanish settlers. And those gentle- men of the press, who toil under the incan- descent lights with pencil and brown pa- per, laboring under tne delusion that there 18 1o boulevard to San Jose, are invited to come one of these spring d; say the 21st of April inst., “when the white oak leaf is the size of the squirrel’s ear,” and drive with me along this royal road from the Mission Dolores, or from Yerba Buena even, to the Mission of Santa Clara and beyond along the alameda to the pueblo of San Jose. And if these same gentlemen of the hot hovels of the editorial brain shops, as they bowl along this hundred-yes houlevard from San Francisco to San Jose, through the “‘plain of oaks’” which Gaspar de Portalis and Father €respi first discov- cred to white men and which excited the admiration of Van Couver a century ago, do not proclaim it a joy to exist, then the drinks are on me. But, to resume, another suggestion for the boulevard, or the alameda, as it was called, was to follow a grade which would make it a practicable route for an electric road later on. However, it was generally maintained by the projectors of it that it should be preserved to the nobler purposes of such a roadway as would stimulate the Californian to go abroad with his roadster, his wheel or his saddle-nag, and learn that he lives in paradise, and to shake off his habit of being, if not “in Heaven with a broken back,” then in Eden with his eyes shut. The dreamers of this dream of a boule- vard got further along than the stage of “resoluting’’ that somebody else ought to build it. They Jooked out routes for sec- tions of this great road. Some of the more enthusiastic traced a line for it convenient as to neighborhood needs and as to prop- erty lines, and easy as to grades all the way from Golden Gate Park to the New Almaden mines, with a branch to San Jose, at a convenient point of digression. Others still more enterprising laid it out through | their lands and prepared it for travel. And it can be traced in fragmentary lines—sev- eral of them in use as traveled roads—from San Mateo, along through the Belmont country and the foothill region west from Redwood City and Menlo Park, to the Stan- ford Uni\‘nrsuf'.with some small fragments in the high valley lands back from Moun- tain View. This is really too noble an undertaking to be overlooked or to be spoiled by half doing.. The boulevard should start from Golden Gate Park in this city, following some one of the avenues leading south, say Eighteenth avenue, and striking the east- erly boundary of the Spring Valley Works’ Lake Merced tract about Ingleside. At about this point it should meet the exten- sion of Market street, and thus practically divert that highway down the peninsula. Thence traveling southerly it should pass between the westerly end of Ocean View Ridge and the enster]r arm of Lake Mer- ced, skirt along the slopes of the hills to the west of Colma, cross the Jersey Farm above San Bruno, the Mills and other lands above Millbrae, the upper part of the Bur- lingame Tract and, passing over the Bowie and Howard lands, reach the canyon of San Mateo Creek at some convenient cross- ing point, possibly digressing so far to the westward to cross on the great dam holding back the waters of the Spring Val- ley Company’s great inland lake; thence swinging somewhat to the eastward, it would traverse the low hills southwest of San Mateo and come into the npper part of the valley back of Laurel Creek. At this point it would connect with the road laid out on the map of Laurel Creek farm and strike a pass through the lands| of Robert Mills and the Mezes estate, into the Canada Diablo and the Belmont Can- ¥nn just above the Ralston residence. Tere it would meet the end of another sec- tion, already a public road, leading past Reid’s school, through the estates of ‘lqm- othy Guy Phelps and N. J. Brittan, to the northerly line of the Redwood Farm of the Moses Hopkins estate; crossing this, the Robinson tract, lately sold to C. A. Hooper, and the Schroeder homestead, it would meet the northwesterly line of the Blinn Tract, alor;% which one-half af the boulevard was deeded several years ago. From this point the road has been opened for several years by Alexander Gor- don, C. B. Polhemus, the late Eugene Avy and others, to connect with Santa Cruz avenue near the upper or westerly entrance to the Stanford University domain. Thence to the crossing of Adobe or Yesnas Creek, two routes are presented; one along the county rood laid out by the late Senator Stanford across his Palo Alto Ranch, past the university buildings, following this road to the upper Enrt os the College Ter- race Tract, and then striking across the university domain to Adobe or Yesnas Creel; the other along Santa Cruz avenue to the vicinity of Frank Burke’s La Siesta Ranch, ana thence across the Felt part of the Stanford domain to A. P. Hotaling’s farm and through the lands of the Taafe family to Adobe or Yesnas Creek. From this creek the road has been opened along the lower line of the late J. P. Hale's tract to the Permanente Creek. Just south of this stream the boulevard comes up with asystem of county roads that carries it along past W. J.” Heney’s Valley View Vineyard and the Las Palmas Vineyard of John T. Doyle into the very heart of the orchard co\lnu? of the Santa Clara Valley, and on to San Jose by one route or to Al- maden by another, either along beautiful county roads. Some difference of opinion seems to exist as to the cnmgfmnive merits of the two routes, the footlills line somewhat as out- lined above, and the valley course as found already opened. Considering the scenic effects’ and the desirability of a drivin, road wholly apart from contiguity witl Freunt or future steam or other railroads, t would seem that the foothill route would command all but unanimous acceptance as the one for the boulevard.
