Divine wisdom foresaw this probable plight of man, and to-day divine goodness dispels doubt and confirms faith by the wonderful miracle of the resurrec- tion, the greatest test of almighty power. As man he dies on the cross, as God he rose from the grave, thus giving to all mankind and to all time a never failing, | ever living, stupendous confirmation of the truth that Christ was God.” In the evening there were vespers and benediction of the blessed sacrament. Rev. Father Ramm preached the sermon. Commodore Germinet and staff of the French cruiser Protet attended solemn high mass at the Church of Notre Dame des Victoires. The officers were in full uniform and attracted much attention. Guille, the celebrated tenor, rendered “Les Ramane,” by Faure, at the offer- tory. His singing of the celebrated piece was a feature of the services. The Right Rev. Willlam F. Nichols; Bishop of the Episcopalian church, preached two sermons at St. Luke's, the fashionable church of that denomination. In the morning the Bishop participated in the service and was assisted by Rev. W. A. M. Breck, the assistant rector, the rec- tor of the church, Rev. D. C.- Garrett, having been called to Chicago on impor- tant business. In concluding a brilliant discourse on the gospel of the day the Bishop took occasion to congratulate the parisk on eniering its new church. He regretted the absence of Dr. Garrett and said he did not doubt that when the ab- sent rector returned he would be able to call on the Bishop to consecrate the church entirely freed from debt, as the A ano 1 R e e S e D e e o o o o o o e o o o o FASHION’S THRONG PARADES AFTER MORNING SERVICES.

In the afternoon he confirmed a | large class of children and delivered an | excellent confirmation address to the lit- | tle ones. In the absence of Rev. Robert Macken- zle of the First Presbyterian Church, who is in New York, his assistant, Rev. Wil- liam Kirk Gutherie, D. D., conducted the services. Dr. Gutherie sald the resurrec- tion loomed up larger than any other sub- ject in the whole world on Easter Sunday, | and yet 1900 vears ago there was not one | human belng who believed it possible. He | & traced the death and the resurrection of | Jesus and then described the incidents | that surrounded it. The First English Lutheran Church | was overflowed at both services. An ex- cellent musical programme and sermon by the pastor, Rev. E. Nelander, were en- joyed by the congregation. Dr. Nelander | spoke on “The Resurrection, a Practical | Force.” He said in part: “The doctrine | of the resurrection carries in it all the | rest of our religion. The truths of Chris- tianity form a golden chain, and the re- | surrection is the first link. It confirms | our faith in the ultimate triumph of Jesus Christ. When Christ was crucified it seemed that while all the vices were be- ing crowned in Rome all the virtues were being crucified in Jerusalem. But wken Jesus burst forth from the grave he pro- claimed the victory of truth and goodness. The value of Christ’'s resurrection is this: “It bridges earth and heaven; it roots our life in the risen Christ, and puts the full- ness of heaven at our disposal.’” Rev. H. H. Bell, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, spoke in the on the theme “That Empty His text was Mark xvi:6. In part he sald: “That empt“ tomb also means that the Christian religion is impregnably estab- | lished; that religion rests upon an up- lifted cross and an emptied tomb. Fur- | | A Color, ther still, that empty tomb means the final emptiness of every human tomb. It means a final grave-opening day, when earth’s buried millions shall. come forth for final review and reward. Let none of us fail to prepare for that coming day. ‘He that believeth in me hath everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.’ " A special service was held in the even- ing at Trinity Church, at which the Cali- fornia Commandery attended in a body. The service opened by the choir singing “Onward, Christian Sol- diers. Rev. Frederick Clampett preached the sermon. His text was taken from the seventh verse of the twenty- eighth chapter of St. Matthew. At the close of the service the knights made the declaration of faith B Golden _Gate Commandery No. 18, Knights Templar, marched in a body to the evening services of the First Presby- terian Church. T .rmon was preached r by the Rev. W. Kirk Guthrie. He spoke about the great anniversary they cele- brated, and said that he was proud to see 80 many present who by bearing the cross on their cloaks professed Christianity. The Knights Templar were under the command of J. C. Campbell. In his sermon to his congregation the Rev. F Woods of the First Baptist Church ank God that far and wide 1ve gone forth this morn- risen.’ May the risen in our hearts—a glori- midst of a redeemed peo- er remind us not of graves, ates of heaven—those gates whose keys love keeps on that side and on this side—death.” The Howard et Methodist Episcopal Church was ¢ ded with non-members at both services yesterday. Members of the Tivoll Opera-house Company assisted the choir and an orchestra of fifteen ieces discoursed sacred music. Rev. ohn A. B. Wilson pre ed both morning and evening on subjects appropriate to the day. MOROSCO’S NEW COMPANY SCORES A GREAT HIT Performance of ‘“An Arabian Girl” | Rich With Color and Mer- riment. “Standing room only” was the order of the night at the Grand Opera-house last evening, though the words were not | strictly truthful in this instance, for there was not even standing room when the | curtain rose on the first performance of “An Arabian Girl and the Forty Thieves.” The magnitude of the audience was only 1 by the size of the production, which was on a quite magnificent scale and noteworthy as much for the elaborate scenery and costuming as for the gener- ous supply of principals and supernumer- arfes.
