Easter Sunshine Brings More
Than Usual Display of
Gorgeous Millinery.
CHURCH PARADE BRILLIANT
Only Few Men Rise to Occasion
and Wearers of Silk Hat and
Frock Coat Are Subject to
Comment for Hardihood.
JL'aster morning entered Portland to
the somewhat shrewish accompaniment
of an east wind. Splotches of hurrying
clouds chased across the sunrise, and
the early bird ruffled his feathers for
warmth as he bunted the 'proverbial
"Worm.
Yet it didn't rain.
Milady wore the new hat to services.
Fhe whisked the new grown gracefully
along the thoroughfares. There were
clouds, of course, but there was also
sunshine frequent intervals when the
warm Spring flood set silks, and rib
bone, and strange weaves, a-shimmer-Ing
in a manner that left nothing to be
desired by the most captious feminine
heart.
There was a serious side. too. Father
Portland and all the family went to
church. There wasn't a house of wor
Khip in the city that did not assume an
unwonted air of more than Sabbatical
importance. In the way and name of
music the day was auspicious, too.
''About many of the churches the motor
equipages of the visitants were parked
on all sides. Withirf. the congregation
overflowed into the aisles, -where the
ushers placed chairs for the tardy.
C hurch Parade Is Gay.
Near the noon hour, and at the close
of morning service in many of the
churches, the streets of Portland were
gay with millinery and the creations of
Inspired artistes in the sartorial realm.
Milady strolled for the most part, and
the general. effect was that of an over
flooded flower garden that had loosed
its bloom upon the not reluctant city.
It was a tragic thought, however, to
speculate on the combined millinery bill
represented in the Easter parade.
Limousines and touring cars shone
with a freshness of enamel that proved
they had not been neglected in the
carefully calculated effect. They rolled
back from church with a purring con
sciousness of virtue, and their freight
three times out of four was fair femi
ninity in all her fixings."
Men Only Incidental.
Perhaps mere maa was out in the
gladsome metamorphosis of Easter at
tire. If he was, he wasn't at all no
ticeable, presumably shaded by propin
quity. Here and there he asserted him
self with a top-hat, only to prove the
rule by exception, and to be pursued by
bold, gawkish and sometimes ill-mannered
eyes. It was no easy task, for
mere man to brave fashion's maze in
correct attire. The church-hour parade
on Washington street lagged and loi
tered on the curb several times when
a youth or man of years in correct
morning clothes, top-hat, cane and light
gloves, passed by.
For the moment not a few of the fair
sex forgot their own sartorial sanctity
apparently to gaze on the sartorial sac
rilege. Everybody and everything knew the
day for Easter, and rladdened corre
spondingly. Even the flowers seemed
to know, for lawns and parks yesterday
were ablaze with varicolored Spring
blossoms.
BAR VIEW ROAD DISCUSSED
Only Bid Above Estimate and Coun
ty May Do Work Itself.
TILLAMOOK, Or., April 23. (Spe
cial.) At a special meeting of the
County Court yesterday, the Bar "View
road project was discussed.
The bid of the Tillamook Bay Con
struction Company was the only one
offered, and was for JSOOO, about twice
as much as the engineer's estimate for
the work. It seemed to be the desire
of the taxpayers present and those in
terested in the road that the county
proceed -with the work itself, so that
traffic will be open for the Summer
business on the beaches. A decision
will be reached some time next week.
A delegation of 25 residents of Bar
View and Kockaway attended the meet
ing In the interest of the beach re
sorts, and endeavored to impress the
court with the necessity for prompt
action.'

Archbishop Christie Is Cele
brant at St. Mary's.
EASTER SERVICE THRONGED
Father O'llara, In Sermon. De
nounces Action of Eastern Sem
inary in Ordaining Dis
believers in Dogma.
Easter services yesterday at St. Mary's
Pro-Cathedral included solemn Ponti
fical Hlgrh Mass, celebrated by Arch
bishop Christie and five assistant
priests. Father H. V. O'Hara preached
the sermon, in which he denounced the
action of the Union Theological Semi
nary, of New York, in admitting to the
ministry last week three - graduates
who denied belief On old Testament
miracle stories, and the dogma of im
maculate conception. The -church was
crowded to standing- capacity, and sev
eral women grew faint from the crowd
ing and were obliged to leave.
There has been heralded abroad the
action of this seminary which author
ized the ordination to the Christian
ministry of men who boldly deny that
Chris"t was born of a virgin," said
Father O'Hara. "A great cry of ap
proval has gone up from secular lead
ers, and Journals of opinion point to
the action of the seminary in question
as a tremendous visltory of the spirit
of toleration over obsolete dogma.
Divinity Is. Proclaimed.
"But be you not deceived, my breth
ren. o man speaking by the spirit of
God saith anathema to Jesus! It is
not the first time that false prophets,
hirling shepherds, and blind leaders of
the blind . have betrayed the sacred
cause of revealed truth. But over
against the standards of secularism
there is ever raised the standard of the
Risen Christ. The Catholic Church
proclaims the divinity of Jesus Christ.
yesterday, today, and the same for
ever." In his sermon, which pictured the
Resurrection. Father O'Hara described
burial of Jesus; tha upheavals of na
ture which followed: and the visit of
the women to the tomb on the first
Easter.
"The events of the first Easter, though
ancient, are ever new." he continued.
"Today, as of old, the world must learn
the mystery of life from the Risen
Christ. The resurrection of Christ
stands out on the pages of history as
God's final answer to the deepest ques
tioning of the restless human heart.
"Today the world proclaims that it Is
seeking scientific evidence of the spirit
world. It w-ill subject psychic and oc
cult phenomena to exact methods of in
vestigation and research. And its vo
taries fondly forecast a roseate horizon
for the religion of the future based on
such method. But vain the search and

Father O'Hara estimated the attend
ance at 1800. All the pews were
crowded, and scores stood both on the
ground floor and in the gallery, al
though chairs had been placed in every
available location.
The main altar was decorated with
Easter lilies and dogwood blossoms.
The four side altars, in honor of St.
Joseph, the Sacred Heart, the Blessed
Virgin, and St. "Anthony, were decked
with lUtes, carnations, and lilac sprays.

The priests who assisted Archbishop
Christie were: Father W. B. Cronin,
Father Cunningham, from Columbia

programme, which included solos by

BISHOP SUMNER PREACHES
Beauty of Church, Attentiveness of
Audience, Solemnity of Service
and Sincerity of Officiant
Pregnant With" Lesson.
Long before the hour of service on
Easter Sunday morning the congrega
tion of St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral be
gan to arrive. At the first noteof the
organ prelude the edifice was thronged
with worshipers.
Candle flames made " little splotches
of golden light before the altar, flanked
by tall palms. And there were lilies.
It was quiet, with the stillness born of
reverence, though St. Stephen's had not
sheltered a larger congregation since
the Easter of another year.
Blend two-score voices, each in it
self a harmony, and the effect is com
pelling. Let those voices sing, as they
sang on Easter morning, when the pro
cession of choristers and prelates en
tered the church, and the listener is
meshed in the sheer purity of sound.
But a few moments were employed
by Bishop Sumner in his address. Yet
the vigor of his speech, the sincerity of
his manner, and the singular bSauty
and felicity of his eloquence, are in
delibly impressed upon those who heard
him.
Prophetic Tales Related.
Kight hundred years before the com
ing of Christ, said Bishop Sumner,
were written the prophecies of Hosea,
sometimes called the "first prophet-"
Austere, aloof, mysterious, this ancient
and inspired seer of the Christian faith
spoke briefly but with the assurance of
divine sanction. Hosea said that Christ
Would come.
Of the fulfillment of that prophecy
there can be no room for doubt, as it
has its substantiation in records that
cannot be refuted, he said.
'"One of the most credible events,
the most plainly proved narratives of
all history, is the crucifixion and death
of Christ," declared Bishop Sumner,
with glowing zeal. "No event of his
tory is proved more strongly, by primi
tive tradition and witnesses, than the
resurrection of our Lord. Easter means
much or nothing to us. Either he rose
from the' dead for a definite object, or
he was an impostor and hose about
him were equally culpable."
Vividly he depicted the wonderful
trag'edy and triumph upon which rests
the Christian religion, and from whence
comes Easter day.
"Sting of "Death Removed."
"That purpose was the destruction of
the grave. Death to most of us seems
far removed and awful. One thing that
I want to emphasize this morning; is
aprii; 24, 1916.
(3) Worshipers Caught at the Church
ounet. , J30
that Christ has taken away from death
its horrors." .
Yet, with the destruction of the
grave assured, and the certainty of
resurrection given to all, men should
prepare for that final and more than
momentous hour when they shall be
called to judgment.
"A.11 shall pass in review," was tiie
warning. "None shall escape that re
view at judgment. Waterloo, Gettys
burg, even Verdun, London, New York
and Nineveh shall assemble there.
Death is only sleep."
He paused and looked at the Intent
faces upturned toward him.
"I hope," said Bishop Sumner, gently,
"this day is going to be a happy one
for you. It will be, if your conscience
is clear.- If, 041 the other hand, there
is sin written on your heart, there will
be no peace."
The solemn and beautiful ceremonials
of the Episcopal faith, the choral pro
gramme and the significance of the
Easter observance, were appreciated by
many visitors.
