HIGH MASS AT CATHEDRAL Perorations Elaborately BeaatlfHl, and Musical Programme of Spe cial Excellence Services In Other Churches. Pontifical high maps, celebrated for Easter at the Cathedral yesterday morn Ins by Archbishop Christie, was an ex ceedingly Impressive service, and In keep ing with the solemnity of the day. The cathedral was elaborately decorated and a huge cross of lilies in which electric lights were imbedded, was especially beautiful. The musical programme was one of the finest ever Riven in a Port land church. Notable among the num bers were solos by Mrs. "Walter Reed and Arthur Alexander, director of the choir. In the celebration of the mas Arch "hlshop Christie was assisted by Father Quinlan. deacon: Arthur Delorimier. sub rieacon; Father McOevltt, assistant priest; "Father Thompson and Father' O'Hara. The sermon delivered by Father O'Hara "was on "The Message of Easter." He said tn part: "It is often urged by those who pretend to keep step with the vanguard of Intel lectual progress that the world has out grown the ancient faith, and that the ad vance of science has placed thinking men far ahead of the Apostles' Creed, that the religion of the fathers is unsulted to needs and critical spirit of- this wiser, more enlightened day. Wc are reminded of the changes which time has wrought in the various fields of scientific Investi gation. The world has completely dis carded a great part of what was at one time considered highly probable If not well-established truth. The modern sci ence of bacteriology has revolutionized ihe practice of medicine, giving the phy sician correct theories of disease, en hancing a hundredfold his ability to as sist the sick. Religious thought, it Is ar gued, must be subject to the same law of progress. Religion Musi Progress. "If every other department of thought has Its storehouse of wornout. disproved and antiquated notions, the same must be true of religion. The very fact that a creed boasts of being 39 centuries old Is enough to condemn it. and immutability, so far from being a credential for that "religion, 16 the strongest proof that It Is shutting out the light, and is of necessity honeycombed' with error. "There is something plausible in this statement of the case. But. my brethren, there Is a deep and insidious fallacy un derlying this method of reasoning. If religious truth were on a plane with nat ural science, if unaided reason were the only means vouchsafed by the Creator for the attainment of true morals and true doctrine, then Indeed we might regard antiquity and immutability as suspicious attributes and Join forces with the cham pions of the new rather than with the conservcrs of the old. But our religious knowledge is not depending upon the ftcutencss or penetration of the human mind. Almighty God lias not left religion s he -has left the other departments of mental occupation, to be constructed, as natural science by the powers of unaided reason. Revelation Is the origin of Chris tian faith and Christian morals. Reli gious truth and moral precept are the ex pressions of God, in whom there is no shadow of change. "What God teaches is eternally true; and because it Is God's teaching it is not encompassed by the In firmities of finite reason, which needs, must grope along the dimly lighted path way of grasping error as frequently 86 substantial, enduring truth. Is a. Question of Knowledge. That God should have given humanity certain knowledge in the way of religious truth is a credible doctrine, apart from nny evidence of the historical fact. Hu man life is fraught with eternal conse quences, and the salvation of an immortal kouI is a question of knowledge as well as good will. Without revelation the at tainment of necessary religious truth would bo a, moral impossibility for hu manity as a whole, and when we consider man as the adopted son of God, raised to ti supernatural destiny, the knowledge of the mysteries of faith presupposes divine revelation as an absolute necessity. A society without definite principles of faith and conduct, which arc looked upon as the expression of an all-truthful and om nipotent Judge, Is as a rudderless ship In a wild and "boundless sea. There Is no morality because thero 1b no one to teach or define the laws that make the moral cod; and if perchance unaided reason hero and there obtains a glimmer of light as to the distinction between vice nnd virtue, between right And wrong, what Is there to give that knowledge practical value, since hell Is but an ugly fancy and heaven an irrldescent dream? Thero is no truth In the assertion that every deed brings with it a Just punish ment or a suitable reward. No one who studies his own life Is tempted to think Honesty has cost some men more than it ever "brought them, and sin. so far from making many men miserable, has confirmed ihem in vice and debased their conscience to the levcl'of their moral degradation. Known by Their "Fruits. "But suppose the world has found, a re ligion better than the old: suppose the critical disciples of the modern way have evolved a system of ethics as far In advance of the ancient faith as is modern surgery compared with the incantations of the Indian medicine man. what are achievements of this new cult who -are its missionaries? "What has it done to Im prove the world? By their fruits you shall know them. Surely we have a Tight to expect grand things of this Il luminating. Intellectual faith, which has tested every syllable of its creed with cold logic and divested itself of every shrcd of antiquated dogmatism, and su perstitious piety. You may have heard of the enthusiastic and sanguine pro moter, who hit upon the original and promising plan of emptying the sea of old it holds in solution. There was no doubt about the existence of the gold, and his theory seemed to admit .of prac tical application. He Interested extensive capital In the enterprise, the plant was erected, and everything was in readi ness for an era of unprecedented pros perity. But apart from a protracted pe iod of joyful expectation, the investors got no return for their capital. "While the enterprise seemed perfectly plausible, there was the unsitrmount&ble difficulty, that It would not work, and Instead of retting gold from the sea they were forced to pay tribute to the ocean. "The new religion has much In com mon with the unhappy enterprlso to which we have referred. It Is plausible, evea captivating. It liberates man from the Irksome round of religious duty; It charms him with a prospect of large and exhHeratlng freedom; It speaks only or liberties and rights; It evades questions of duty and restriction. It Invites man to leave off the petty work of self-study and self-Improvement and concentrate his energies on the. great outskle world, which seeds his uplifting influence. It coadoses a l&rge aatwut f Iuhmm weaksecc, but km jnsieet feezes r the race as a whole. Heaves aad kel are set mentioned te wettle eur -natural cQHlHbrlHsa. aad prayer, while eoBsMerea a possible tonic for the nerves, la other wise a futile employment. Schemes Barren of Results. "These arc characteristic features of the system which promises to extract the sold of virtue from the sea of life. As a theory It Is engaging; but as an investment It la barren of results. 'The fact is that you cannot traverse the "highways and byways of life, giving- sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and strength to the withered, limb sanctifying the thoughts and words and deeds of men. with any such ephe meral and attenuated creed. Separ ate man from living contact with a suffering, saving Christ, deprive him of a substantial, definite, coherent creed, take from him a sufficient rea son for avoiding sin and an adequate reward for a life of virtue, rob him of the hope which springs eternal In the human breast, and you have done ev erything needful to release the full fury of human greed and human passion, and enshroud this earthly habitation with tne dismal, hopeless gloom of hell. "Jesus Christ Is ib light of the world, is the savior of the world. It Is his Gospel which has been the re generation of society hi the past, and It Is only by getting back to Christ that we shall procure the spiritual well-being of the present and the fu ture. Men have tried and are trying to build upon other foundations, but fallacy permeates every paragraph they speak or pen failure hss stig matized every part of their futile en deavor. Instead of bettering the world they make it -worse, and the cost of their experiment Is the ruin of count less souls." EASTER AT ST. DAVID'S. Elaborate Musical Programme . 1b Given at the Church.

Aldrich at Last Becomes Sensitive About Corporation Sympathies. OP.EGON'IAX NEWS BUREAU, "Washington. April 15. Can it be pos sible that the voters of Rhode Island, after wearing: the yoke for lo! these many years, are going. to do away with bosu rule and assert themselves at the polls? There must be some such move ment under way. else why the eternal effort on the part of Senator Aldrich, the boss of Rhode Island, to disabuse the public mind of the Idea that he is a "railroad Senator"? Talk with any man from Rhode Island (except Mr. Aldrich and his friends) and you will learn that the senior Senator has held the state by tbe throat for 25 years; has controlled the Legislature; has manipulated the elections for state and Congressional offices and has bad everything: his own way. The Rhode Island people don't hesitate to say that he Is a corruptionlst in politics: the most absolute boss in all New Eng land; the most selfish man In thel: state, and they don't derfy what the public generally believes, that Mr. Aid rich richly deserves the reputation of being" a "corporation Senator." But why this anxiety on the part of Mr. Aldrich? He has been accused of 'bclnf a corporation Senator for many. many years, when tbe tariff bills were beiue framed he was styled the friend of corporations and by the exercise of his marvelous power in the Senate has secured the adoption of schedules which the people know to be over drawn In the Interest of corporations. These charges have been made over and over again, but never until now has Mr. Aldrich taken the pains to deny them. When a Senator with such a reputation suddenly becomes sensi tive to charges of this nature, there must be some reason for It and tne law of i?elf-prccrvatIon Is uppermost In the minds of Senators, as of other A WOMAN DOCTOR Wm Quick to $ Thai Offer.

It Is therefore reasonable" to assume that Mr. Aldrich has reached a point where he can no longer afford to Ignore public opinion, and must have & care for his own reputation. Mr. Aldrich certainly smarts under the continuously repeated charge that .he ! a "railroad Senator" and he enters a denial whenever opportunity presents Itself. One of tbe most uncomfortable things about the present situation, from Mr. Aid rich's standpoint. Is tbe fact that he Is often accused on the floor of the Senate of being & "railroad Senator." Seldom Is the language used as blunt a this, but Its meaning Is as clear and Is well under stood by the man attacked. Perhaps no more clever attack has been made on him than that recently made by Senator Br J ley. who In debate remarked that one third of the Senate stood ready to vote with the President for an effective rate NIL "I hope the Senator from Rhode Island is going to Include himself In that one-third who help tbe President," he said. "So far as I know." responded Mr. Aid- rich, "there Is no Senator upon this aide who does not sympathize fully with the Senator from Texas and the President of the United States In a desire to secure ef fective and proper legislation with refer ence to the regulation of railroad rates. That & large part of the Senators on this side do not sympathize with the President or with the junior Senator from Iowa (Mr. DolUver). and purpose so to limit and circumscribe the rights of the people of the United States that they cannot be effectively secured through the courts of the country T will frankly admit." "Mr. President said Senator Bailey In reply, "tbe Senator from Rhode Island always knows exactly what he wants, but he sometimes makes the mistake of supposing that other people do not also know what he wants."
