William Rader's morning sermon yesterday at the Third Congregational. H® | said: “The powerof Christ’s resurrection is more than future existence. Christ did | not bring continued life to light. Men be- lieved that before he came. Jesus defined | immortality as everlasting life plus the re- neration of the individual. He put pur- | pose into existence, and interpreted im- mortality as a present reality rather than a future hope. “‘Easter is a prophecy of the final trans- | formation of the world. Thp flowers and | grass and peauty of nature symbolize the | time when there shall be no more death. | The power of this spiritual resurrection transforms duty. Men are greater for be- | lieving in the immortality of the soul. This faith strengthens character, trans- | figures duty, and we endure as seeing the | invisible. T theology of Easter makes | death not an end in itself, but a develop- | ment and transition. Life and immor- tality are related as the flower is to the | | bud, the man to the youtn, the wide sea | | to the bud, the maturin, of the river. | | “To know the power of Christ's resur- | rection is to realize the life of God in the | soul. It is not a dogma, butan expen-l g of the youth, the mouth ’ ence, ‘that like as Christ was raised up | from the dead by the glory of the Father, | even so we aiso should wake in newness of | life.” Easter means nothing if it does not | mean the gospel of the new life. Kuture | existence is a blank without the redeemed | caaracter.” | Baptism a Proof of the Resurrection. T the West Side Christian Church | A the sermon at 11 A. M. was on “The | Resurrection of Chsist.”” At8 . i | the pastor, Rev. W. A. Garduer, | spoke on “Baptism, a Proof the Resurrec- | tion.” He sai “The resurrection of Christ isa fund- | mental fact in Christianity, and the geity | of Christ is its most important truih. | “Ifit be establisned as a fact that Jesus | arose from the grave after he had been | three days dead, tien the truth that he is | aivine, s bis Father, is established be- | | *‘When John the Baptist proclaimed the | | coming of Christ he preached ‘the baptism | resurrection seen in the baptism of each penitent believer. “That the importance of this ordinance might never be doubted by those who loved him Jesus walked seventy miles to the protracted meeting being held by Jobn { that he might ‘fulfill all rightsousness’ and become a perfect exemplar. In the great commission to his disciples he coupled baptism with faith, commanding them to proclaim it to all creation.’” “The Immortality of the Affections.” V. EDWIN H. JENKS preached | Rme sermon 1n the morning at West- | minster Presbyterian Church on Fell street, between Octavia and Laguna streets. This church is withouta pastor, but is expecting 8 man from the East to supply the pulpit when they move into their new church. Mr. Jenks’ theme was the “Immortality of the Affections.”” “Christ, by his resur- rection,” he said, *had brought life and 1mmortality to light and toid us some- thing of what the state of the believers was to be hereafter. The affections we know endure to the very end of this lifs Christ told us, and showed us that the survive death. His heaven is our heaven. His friends are to be with him there, and | s0 we know we shall be with each other. | | He came back from the tomb to those be | | loved and assured them of his continuous | | presence with them forever.” The church wes tastefully decorated, ) 5 3 jand a well-trained choir sang a special | iver. Death is the cpening of the g Pt | ha Easter service. Double Meaning of Resurrection. T WASHINGTON HALL yesterday Amo Rev. J. S. David preached on the *‘Ktesurrection of the Lord,” taking the position that it was a progres- sive work. He said: “The resurrection of the Lord’s body from the grave was but resurrection. Looking at it inwardly his resurrection was a life-long work, an evo- lutionary process. In the Lord’s incarna- tion the divine Logos was densely en- shrouded with matter and gross environ- ments and hereditary tendencles. By de- grees he overcame these and rose above them, bringing his human nature more and more into barmony with his divine nature, every step of which was a resur- rection procese. “In his visible resurrection he emerged out of the last remains of earthly condi- tions. Hen 1 his humanity was per- fecily one with his divinity, and he was God-Man. between earth and heaven, between man and God. A similar process occurs in every regenerating soul. The Corist, the word, is conceived and born withinj in- | prostitution to worst passions. T after the law of a carnal com- mandment, but after the power of an endless life,” was the text chosen by Rev. H. T. Shepard in yesterday morning’s sermon at Olivet Conrregational Church. He said: “The truth of the endless life, which 13 faith in the resurrection of Jesus, brings relief to the business man who feels the insufficiency of financial success to satisfy the best desires of the human heart. It comes with its warning to the man who caters to immorality, and deals in the souls of men and women through their It brings hope to the victim of poverty and mis- fortune and consequent cishonor, and opens the door to refcrm and purity in the years to come. Competition in the secular world is growing more intense, and in- creasing hostility between different social elements is ominous of coming storms. The gospel of endless life relieves this conflict of its most trying features by in- spiring hope for the future.” Life Is Not the End of All Existence. EV. FRANK 8. FORD preached at Rlbu First Christian Church yester- day morning on the subject, “Con- ider the Lilies.”” He said: “This life is not the end of all existence, and God’s love has so constituted us that we shouid learn the lesson, yet we miss it because of the prominence given to these surroundings. ‘You cannot serve God and Mammon’ speaks not of the worship of gold, but of the exaltation of offient into the place of the ulti- mate. * ‘Life is more than meat and the body more than raiment,” and vet we exalt the meat and raiment more than the life. ‘Consider the lily.” The beauty of its corolla is God-given, but is not for beauty only, but for the fruit. “Personal adornment, beauty, wealth, | the outermost manifestation of his real | | + Heis thus a connecting linx | pleasure are not sin; the exaltation of any or all is sin, the end of which is death.” Christ’s Resurrection Assures His Promise. ROFESSOR Jj. H. GOODELL sup- P plied the pulpit at the Union-square Baptist Church yesterday morning. The edifice had been beautifully decorated, and the choir rendered an ex- quisite programme of Easter music. Professor Goodell’s address was from the text, *“Now hath Christ been raised from the dead; the first fruits of them that are aslesp,’” ' The speaker, siter giving Bibi- cal proof of the resurrection, said that this was symbolical and a literal proof of the vermanency of the Christian religion. “These facis,” he said, “make Cbrist real and living—not a mere memory. They open 10 us a larger life, promises credible and reliable.” :d Easter services at | \ and Trinity Episco- on of the bacilli found 2t the Children’s sz SPANISH LOSSES ess. | baseball team, | ¢ News by the Peking Says the Rebecls Are Now Gaining. their i Many of the Spanish Troops De- serting Their Country’s Flag. they do not know 1 game. ull views ;_the statue of freedom, peace Vhite House exterior and in- , reception days and ladies of the presidents and many other g over 100 in a!

W. McCausland of the Junior Class Showed Cbampion- ship Form. The Old-Timers snd Ex-Champicns Put Up a G eat Race in F.st Time. The opeuing meeting of the Ariel Row- ing Club was a great success. All the events were well-contested and the club's’| guests thoroughly enjoyed the afterncon’s sport. Long Bridge was crowded with spectators and the South End and Dolphin ciubs were well represented. All classes of sailing craft in the bay were there, and contestants were seriously interfered with. In the race for junior skiffs, Carroll had a commanding lead, but might have lost the race had he been close-pressed, be- cause a rowboat got in his way. As it was, he won by at least ten lengths in the fair time of 11 minutes 5 seconds. All vie races were rowed over the usual mile and a half course, from Long Bridge to the Union Iron Works and back. The turn was an awkward one and many of the amateurs found great difficulty in negotiating it. The officers in charge of the affair were: J. R. Bockman, presi- | dent of the club; J. P. Enright, starter; Walter Bleke, timekeeper, Nolan and Charles McAulii and J. , judges. Dolphins came up in force and made a | very pretty picture as their barges ranged up alongside the starter’s boat. The first event was for junior amateurs in skiffs, ana the course, as before stated, was one mile and a hall. Andrew Carroll made & runaway race of it, and would have “‘won by a block’ had he not been interfered with. As it was he got home first by ten lengths in the fair time of 11 minutes and 5seconds. C. McAuliffe Jr. was second and H. Pless third. It was a very pretty finish for second honors between the two men, but Carroll outlasted his opponent. The second race was the senior skiffs, The on'v entries were W. McCausland and R. Ellis. For the first mile it was nip and tuck. Then McCausiana’s form bezan 10 show and the race was at his mercy. He won as he pleased in the smart time of 9 minutes and 22 seconds, while Ellis was 8 seconds behind him. McCausland’s time was far and away the best made during | the day, the nearest approach to it being the 10 minutes and 5 seconds of the senior | barge crew and 10 minutes 8 seconds of | the ex-champions. The third race was that of the junior barges, and the winners covered the mile and a half course in 10:33. The crew was composed of Andrew Carroll, Albert Car- roll, George McGinnis, Frank Wilson and William Mangan coxswain. They had a commanding lead 200 yards from home, but the second crew came with a fresu burst of speed, and little Mangan had to make his men work to land a boat’s length victory. The best race of the day was the senior barge race. it was nip and tuck from start to finish, and a great deal of the credit for the victory is due to the skilliul steering of Mangan, the coxswain of boat 1. The winning crew was John Nolan, Robert Eilis, George Phelan, W. McCaus- land and W. Mangan coxswain. The time was 10:05. The last race of the day was between the old-time ex-champions, Leander Steven- in some instances the | son and William Growney.
