Time of Gfl.nl Anticipation, Says Rev.

"Easter madness" was the theme of
the sermon delivered by Rev. Ed

carlonal church.
'lijsirr Is more than a great church

"The spirit of Christ is more evident

THREE SERVICES AT TRIXITY
VcMed Choir of 4 0 Sinrs Appropri
ate Easter Music.
Tall, nodding palms, graceful ferns,
fragrant Easter lilies, rallas, hydran
gea and other beautiful flowers made a
pretty garden picture suggestive of the
dawn of Kaster yesterday in the chan
cel of Trinity Episcopal church. The
music was triumphant and elaborate, in
keeping with the church season.
There were large congregations at all
services, at the two celebrations of holy
communion at 7 A. M. and 11 A. M and
at evening prayer at 8 P. M. There
were 9S communicants at the first cele
bration and 162 at the second, several
soldiers In United States uniform be
ing noticed at the 11 A. M. service. At
this latter service many people were
unable to find seating accommodation,
the crowd being so large. .
Dr. A. A. Morrison was In charge of
the services and was assisted by Rev.
W. 1L Gallagher, a retired Episcopal
clergyman from Cairo. Mich., who
newly has made his home In this city.
He is to attend Trinity parish.
Rev. Dr. Morrison preached a short
gospel sermon on the many triumphs
won by Jesus of Nazareth as teacher,
preacher and Savior. He pictured the
glon over thousands, he cried. If
these are to live only in fame, the
world is indeed chaos, and human life
but a candle in its midst. The resur
rection has given to human life a
meaning. It is a beacon-light on the
mountaintop to guide us home. To
refuse to be led by the resurrection is
to be blind.
No ace ever was eo advanced as the
present in science. In education, and in
material progress. But If our wise men
cannot see the light of the resurrec
tion, their theories- of life lead only to
the darkness of death."
In conclusion. Father O'Hara said
that the crowds which had flocked to
SL Mary's to attend a succession of
masses from daylight until the main
service at 11 A. M., and his knowledge
that similar processions were adoring
God all-over the earth, convinced him
that the materialistic feeling is not
general.
Archbishop Christie and hts assist
ants entered the cathedral to the
music of Elgar's "Ecce Sacerdos."
While he assumed his vestments the
choir pang Giorza's "Regina Coeli."
With the exception of the "Sanctus"
and the "Agnus Dei." which were from
Gounod's "St. Cecilia" mass, the musi
was a composition of Monestel.
At the conclusion of the service Mrs.
Rose Friedle Gianelll sang Granger's
"Hosanna." Other soloists were
Misses T. Ledwldge and Geneviev
Clancy and Messrs Albert Glanclli and
Ben L. Markee. Miss Alice G. Smith
was piano accompanist.
The threatening weather prevented a
display of Easter finery, although
number of new bonnets were noticeable
in the congregation.
MOR.MXG HIGH MASS IS READ
Service Is Held at Church of the
Madeleine at 7:30 o'clock.
Solemn high mass at the Church of
the Madeleine was celebrated at 7:30
o'clock yesterday morning in the pres
ence of a Congregation which filled the
entire edifice. Kev. ueorge Thompson
was the celebrant, and Kev. athe
Anthony was the preacher. The music
of the mass was sung by the Madeleine
choir under the direction of Frederick
W. Goodrich. The music was selected
from a beautiful composition of the
modern Italian school of Pietro A. Yon,
with "Agnus Del" by Bizet. Solos were
sung by Mesdames Charles A. Shea,
F. A. Petzel, M. A. Madfien and Maurice
R. Madsen.

'CHRIST IS RISEX" IS TEXT
Dr. J. H. Boyd Says Record of Bible
Is I 'roof of Resnrectlon.
Inconceivable It must be that disci
ples of Christ, plunged Into the abyss
or despair by his crucifixion, would
thereafter have joyously recorded the
history of his life had there been no
resurrection, said Dr. J. H. Boyd In his
r.aster sermon before the congrega
tlon of the First Presbyterian church.
As his theme Ir. Boyd spoke on the
phrase from First Corinthians. xv:I4,
it cnrist oe not risen." It must also
be Inconceivable that God would pro
ject the beneficent influence of the
life of Christ upon the world from the
basis of a lie and deception. Dr. Boyd
posited.
In elaborating hts theme Dr. Boyd
said:
"I don't think anyone will question
the statement that the religion of
Jesus Christ and a-ll Its teaching of
morality and. faith was saved to the
world by those who believed in the
resurrection. Death had had no place
In their thoughts of htm. His cruci
fixion plunged them into the abyss of
dark despair. If some change of mind
had not come to them the disciples
mould never have set down the facts
of his life, at that time unrecorded.
Jesus had never recorded a single
word of his own and had the disciples
not come to believe in the resurrection
they would never have written the rec
ord they did.
"The greatest literature of all time
would not have been written, the litera
ture that slants across the world the
glory of this Kaster morning could not
have been written but for the belief
of these men In the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. And what an infinite
loss It would be to the world If we
think of the glorious life and faith of
tbe man of Galilee as blotted out." ,
grave gave up its dead and the cruci
fied Jesus came forth as Prince of Life.
From a million churches the glad re
frain sweeps heavenward this morning
'Christ is risen; he is risen from the
dead
"Kaster, with its beautiful service
of sermon and song, is not an institu
tion recognized by the inspired Scrip
tures. It is but the after thought of
men in their desire to stress this great
central fact in the teaching of God's
word.
"The word 'Easter' does not occur in
the Scriptures and must not. therefore,
be laid as a sacred obligation upon the
burdened hearts of confused and per
plexed Christianity. No Christian need
hesitate, however, to Jotrv with saint
and sinner in expression of Joy as we
see the fields put on their garments
of living green and all nature come
forth from its wintry grave to enter
upon a renewed life. At this glad sea
son all tnings testily or tne living
Christ and bring renewed hope and
life.
"The grandest thought connected
with the observance of Kaster is the
unity of the millions meeting at the
empty tomb of the risen Lord.- The
many differences dividing these believ
ing millions is for the moment forgot
ten as on Kaster morning they as
semble at the flower-bedecked tomb
whence their Lord arose. Here the fol
lower of Christ buries all his sorrows;
from this dismal abode of death springs
our only assurance of life. 'If Christ
be not raised your faith is vain; ye
are yet in your sins.
SERVICES AT WESTMINSTER
Hope of Immortality Is Snbject of
Sermon by Dr. Pence. ,
The Westminster Presbyterian church,
East Seventeenth and Schuyler streets,
was beautifully decorated with Kaster
lilies and candles during the Kaster
morning service when the church was
filled almost to capacity. The choir
rendered the following anthems and
solos:
Anthem. "Blessed Be the God and
Father" S. S. Wesley); contralto solo,
Hail! Thou Risen One" (Ward-Steph
ens); offertory anthem, "Awake! Thou
That Sleepest" (John Stainer).
"The Resurrection, the Hope of Im
mortality," was the topic of Dr. Pence's
sermon, the last of tne series on "ine
Master of Men in Action," which he
has been preaching for the past four
weeks.
"It is only through the operation of
the moral law that we human beings
may reach our destination, the hope
of immortality," said Dr. Pence dur
ing hts discourse. "We must follow the
precepts of the man of Galilee. The
moral law binds us to our neighbors,
to those we love. The only human being I
the world ever knew to produce that !
hereafter In much of the world's great
literature. The heart has fondly hoped
for a meeting beyond the grave and the
Instinct of the soul has ever cried out
with the Hebrew king over his dead
child. T shall go to him.'.
"Yet has there persisted In all this
reasoning regarding the future some
fear lest the fair vision might vanish
and the song fail of satisfaction, a hope
rather than a certitude. This faint trust
gives place to a great confidence whe
the truth of the saying of Christ is ac
cepted by the souL He says 'Because
live, ye shall live also.' Herein lies the
all-sufficing Easter anchorage."
LITE AFTER DEATH IS SCBJECT
Rev. Willard Preaches Easter Ser
mon at First Congregational.
"We are gradually coming to realise
the tremendous marvel of the physical
life is so far as the after life is con.
oerned," said Kev. W. W. Willard in
his Easter morning services yesterday
at the First Congregational church
Park and Madison streets. "The sight
of the cherry blossoms, apple bios
soms and many other forms of nature's
handiwork that we observed on our
way to church this morning, personify
the great law of resurrection that
'Things die in order to live."
"Death is one of nature's devices for
the furtherance of life. This Easter
tide has more significance than any
other since the resurrection, of Christ.
Imperialism has been ground to dust
and the divine right of kings has been
torn away. We are living in an age
of progression and we are listening at
tcntively and trying to adopt the mod
em arguments as to the future life."
Special music under the direction of
Luelen E. Becker, organist and director,
and assisted by the choir, Mrs. Dudley
Clarke, Miss Beatrice Palmer. W. E.
Robinson and Raymond V. McKalson
was sung during the services. The
Easter services opened with an organ
prelude followed by the doxology. The
quartet sang "As It Began to Dawn.'
The children of the Sunday school
offered their little sermon story, "Old
Johnny Appleseed," and Rev. Willard
then held the baptism of infants. Sirs.
Dudley Clarke sang "Hosanna" as a
solo and the quartet followed Rev. Wil
lard's sermon, "The Easter Evangel:
Life's Keynote and ' Life's Concert
Pitch." with the hymn "Praise the
Lord."
The Sunday school held its Easter
service prior to the church sermon.
Announcement through the church
bulletin was made that the Christian
Endeavor congress meeting of Multno
man county will be held tomorrow
night at the First Congregational
church. A programme will start at 7:45
o'clock.

Pastor of Vhye Temple Addresses
Knights Templar.
At the evening service at the White
Temple yesterday Dr. William A. Wal
do spoke on "The Living Christ. The
members of Oregon Commandery Xo. 1,
Knights Templar, were guests and the
address was of special Interest to the
knights. The text was, "I am He that
liveth and was dead and behold I am
alive for evermore and have the keys
of death and hell."
Appreciating the fact that the foun
dation stones of the Christian order are
founded on the resurrection of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, therefore we
are rightly called The Order of Chris
tian Knights." " said Dr. Waldo. "We
appreciate, therefore, that as a Chris
tian congregation we are of one -mind
and of one heart and we can re-echo
the beautiful sentiment expressed in
one of the psalms of David, 'Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity,
for there the Lord ' commanded His
blessing, even life for evermore.
Inspired with the suggestions of this
glad Easter evening, the deep desire in
our hearts to bring glory to the name
of Jesus, we bring to our memories
some of the glad instances connected
with this greatest of all miracles of
Christianity.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ Is
the foundation stone upon which Chris
tianity rests: it is the miracle of mir
acles and upon this miracle it either
stands or falls. The language, T am He
that liveth," Is emphatic and suggestive:
it Is not, 'I live. Every animated ex

After 7 Years' Search for Relief
From Nervous Indigestion,
Tanlac Ends His Troubles.
"I have been trying for seven long
years to find something that would
overcome my troubles, but all my ef
forts failed until I got hold of this
Tanlac," -said Charles Jackson, who is
employed at the Hilliard railroad shops,
and who lives at 1202 East first Ave..
Spokane, while talking with a Tanlac
representative the other day.
"My stomach was in such bad condi
tion," continued Mr. Jackson, "that I
would commence to suffer as snon as I
had finished a meal. My food would
sour on my stomach and Kas would
form and bloat me up something awful.
Sometimes this gas would get all up
into my chest and almost choko me up,
and if I tried to get a good breath I
would have a sharp pain around my
heart. In fact I couldn't begin to draw
a real fuW breath. Then, too, I would
have terrible pains in the pit of my
stomach after meals, and would often
have a dull, heavy pain in my stomach
for two or three days at a stretch. I
wa3 badly constipated all the t.mo and
had dull headaches nearly every day.
and my appetite was so poor that I
just had to force what little I did eat.
I was so very nervous that any kind
of a noise, even the rustling of a news
paper, would unnerve me, and I hardry
ever got a good night's sleep. I tried
the best I could to keep at work, but I
finally got so weak and rundown that
I would have to go through a whole
winter without hitting a lick of work
of any kind.
"One day I read about this Tanlac,
and thought I would give it a trial and
see if it would do me any good, and I
want to say right here that by the time
I had finished my first bottle I was
feeling a whole lot better. Then I
bought more Tanlac, and Just kept on
buying more, and when I had finished
my fourth bottle I foimd that my trou
bles had about all disappeared. I am
so well and strong now that I never
lose any time from my work, and no
matter how hard I work, I never have
that tired, wornout fceting like I did.
I have as good an appetite as I ever
had in my life, and I eat three big,
hearty meals every day, and everything
I eat agrees with mo perfectly. I am
never bothered with gas forming after
meals, and those awful pains I used to
have in the pit of my stomach are a
thing of the past, and since the gas
has stopped forming I have no trouble
at all in getting good, deep breaths. I '
am free from those headaches, and am
not constipated any more, and my
nerves are in such perfect condition
that I sleep like a rock every night.
Tanlac is a good medicine, und I am
glad to. recommend it to others."
