From the Macon Telegraph. EASTER. BY BATIKKSE. The Lord is risen ! Braak forth, exnltant earth, in singing The joyful news, in anthems ringing From mountain top, o’er ocean billow, Thro’ forest aisle and whispering willow That bends to kiss the churchyard pillow, Where slumber “broken” is decreed— For Christ the Lord is risen! Itisen indeed! The Lord is risen! The grave hath given np its sleeper! Nor .sealing rock, nor Itoman keeper, Can close again the bursted portal. When Life proclaims itself immortal ? Pale, watching Mary, lonely weeper, No more thy love with sorrow food ! For Christ the Lord is risen! Risen Indeed I The Lord is risen! Pour out, lair ilower, your fragrance sweetest, Rise up, bright bird, on wing the fleetest, And sing to Heaven’s four winds the story, Til! earth be tilled with praise and glory! Time now distils, from pinions hoary, A cordial for all haarts that bleed i For Christ the Lord is risen! Risen indeed 1 The Lord is risen I Oh ! powers of darkness in high places. Who lean your evil, watchful faces O'er man’s sad race with thoughts vain-glorious, Shrink back! there sounds a step victorious, Whose way no Calvary retraces! Divine it conies, from bondage freed, Captivity to captivity lead ! For Christ the Lord is risen! Risen indeed 1 The Lord is risen! To break our earthly sin-forged fetters ! To write in ever-shining letters On marble stained with years of weeping. Tliis truth—(our hearts its witness keeping, With awful joy and pulses leaping)— Angelic words of mortal creed— Lo! Chuist thk L#rd is iusenl Risen indeed! —«—<.—» CATHOLIC INTELLIGENCE. DOMESTIC. Holy Week in Augusta. —The ser vices of Holy Week in the Catholic Church in this city, this year, were of a peculiarly grand and impressive charac ter. The office of the Tenebrce com menced at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening, and waschaunted by Rev. Fathers Kirby, Ryan, O’Hara, and Paquet, assisted by the choir. On Holy Thursday the Re pository was arranged on the small altar at the eastern end of the Church, and was gorgeously decorated with long lace curtains, tastefully draped from the ceil ing of the Church, while in the rear of and around the tabernacle a number of colored lamps were displayed, in addition to (he candles, usually placed there. The services were grand and imposing, and the sermon by Father Ryan was listened to with earnest attention by a very large congregation. The proces sions of the Blessed .Sacrament on Holy Thursday and Good Friday, were attended by the Societies of the Sunday School. On T 1 mrsday the Blessed Sacrament was guarded by the Sunday School Societies during the day, and by the St. Vincent do Raul Society during the night. On Good Friday the Church was again well filled by the faithful who attended the adoration of the Cross, and by several strangers. The ceremonies of tins day were, as usual, solemn and im pressive, while the sermon of Father Ryan was one of his best and most effec tive efforts. On Holy Saturday the ser vices of Lent were closed by the usual exercises. On this day two converts were baptised and received into the Church. On Easter Sunday, the altars were handsomely and tastefully decorated, while the music was most exquisite and appropriate. A grand High Mass was eelchrased by Father Kirby, Celebrant, assisted by Father Ryan as Deacon and Father Paquet as sub-Peacon. The choir sung Millard’s Mass as sung in St. Stephen's Church in New York City : and e\ciy puit of it was rendered with skni and effect. 1 ) rof. \V iegand presided at the organ. Under his leadership and instruction the choir has become very proficient, and the music is now given in a style that reflects the highest credit upon all concerned, and will compare, we 1 ’ lic ve. with that of any choir in the South. How gratifying it must have been to die venerable and beloved Pastor of the Cl lurch, Father Duggan, to have wit nessed the very full and strict observance ot th( ceremonies of the week, and the zeal and piety displayed by his congre gation in their attendance and devotion. The decorations were the handiwork of the ladies of the congregation, who exhibited great energy and taste in their arrangement and display. st. mart’s (catholic.) church. Was decorated in the* simple and chaste manner which has always characterized the adornment of this house of worship. The altar was ornamented with ever greens and white blossoms, in a style that was beautiful in its simplicity. Mer cadantes’ four voice Mass was sung by the choir, assisted by some of the best amateurs in the city. The trio in the Gloria and Incarnatus in the Credo were rendered in a masterly style ; while the heart moving solo, “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” claimed the earnest and enraptured attention of the entire congregation, which was composed of the representatives of all creeds. The sol emn and impretsive ceremony was con cluded with the grand chorus, Et Kesur rexit, the soul-inspiring strains of which caused the heart to leap in exultation at the joyful reflection of a world redeemed. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Baker in his most eloquent and earnest style The subject was taken from the Gospel of the day, St. Mark, chapter 16, from the Ist to the 7th verse, “Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified, is risen.” After giving a very comprehensive and eloquent account of the death and resur rection of our Lord and Saviour, he con cluded by assuring the faithful that the purchase of our redemption made by the sacrifice on Calvary, is guarantied to them by the resurrection. ST. FIN BAP.’s (CATHOLIC) CATHEDRAL CHAPEL. The decorations in this Chapel were confined entirely to the altar and the shrine of the Virgin, which were profuse ly laden with the choicest flowers of spring. Mass was celebrated at early morn, and at the usual hour of worship, a very larg'e congregation, embracing very many Christians of Protestant de nominations, assembled to celebrate High Mass. The choir, which is recognized as one of the best in the city, was efficiently assisted by Professor Dauer’s Band, and in the progress of the service rendered Deden’s “ Kyrie,” and “ Gloria in Ex celsis,” the “Credo,” “Sanctus,” “Benedic tus,” “Agnus Dei,” and “Dona nobis pacem.” The discourse was preached by 'Right Rev. Bishop Lynch, from Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter xv., commencing at the 12th verse. st. Joseph’s (catholic) church. At St. Joseph’s Church Mass was cele brated at seven and at half-past ten o’clock in the morning, by the Rev. J. O’Neil], Jr. In consequence of the ill ness of the Pastor, llcv. C. J. Crogan, the services of this Church were some what shortened, there being no sermon, but the beautiful altars were, as usual, decorated with flowers and evergreens, fresh and lovely as the spring time. st. taul’s (society st.) catholic church, Also bore evidence of the handiwork of gentlewoman ; the altar and chancel were beautifully and chastely decorated with flowers and evergreens. The service was solemn and impressive, and every thing seemed to confirm the pleasing and gratifying intelligence of the resurrection of Christ, and a world-redeemed. Father Shaddler preached an eloquent and in spiring sermon to the large congregation which had assembled to give thanks to Almighty God for the salvation se cured to them through the blood of his Son, the Saviour of the world. Avery interesting ceremony recently took place in Memphis, the Rev. J. A. Kelly, officiating. It was the reception and profession of Sisters at St. Agnes’ Academy on the 25th inst. Father Kelly delivered a beautifuband appropriate dis course, and the entire ceremony was exceedingly interesting. The two pro fessed were Sister Catharine Kintz and Sister Hyacintha Peters The postulants received to the habit were Sister Benvan Phelan, Sister Antoninus McFadden, and Sister Aloysia Bloomer. [ Cor. Freeman's Journal. The Germans of Washington have long had a church of their own language and nationality in this city. But it is found that they have increased so rapidly that they require further accommodations ; and Rev. B. A. Wiget, S. J., President of Gonzaga College, lias been charged with the duty of erecting another edifice for the purpose on a much larger scale than old St. Mary’s. A site has been selected and purchased ; and it is the intention to commence the building the present year. The project will, no doubt, meit with encouragement from the German community, as well as from Catholics in general; and the thrifty and economical habits of that people will enable them to contribute solidly to the rapid construc tion of the Church.— Mirror. >,, ~ . , r V * Diocese of Hartford— Dedication of a New Catholic Church and Confirma tion — On the 10th of March a beautiful little stone church was solemnly dedicated by the Rt. Rev. Dr. McFarland, Bishop of Hartford, at Stafford Springs. Ct., as sisted by Revs E. O’Brien, of New Ha ven, B. Tully, of Rockville, Eugene Vygen, of Putnam, A Trincen, of Woon socket, R. 1., and E. Van Laar, the zeal ous assistant of our beloved pastor. Some sixty-five children and adults were con firmed, and sumo two hundred and fifty people received Holy Communion, pray ing the Divine Host to relieve and strengthen their Holy Father Pius the Ninth, in his difficulties and persecutions. At the High Mass our most reverend Bishop preached with his usual feeling and persuasive eloquence. [Cor. Freeman's Journal. Diocese of Little Rock. —The Festi val of St. Patrick, which was also the anniversary of Bishop Fitzgerald’s in stallation, wa3 duly observed. High Mass was sung, Coram Episcopa, and an ele gant panegyric of the " glorious apostle,” delivered by a talented young clergyman, Rev. Thomas McGivern, whom the Bishop has appointed to the pastoral charge of Helena. On Saturday, March 20th, the wife of Captain O’Keefe, of Battery •, U. S, A., was received into the Church by the Very Rev. P. Reilly, V G, and on the following Sunday the wife of Dr. Harte was publicly baptized after High Mass by the Bishop, in the presence of a large number of our non-Catholic brethren. The Bishop admitted two postulants to the holy habit of religion in the order of our Lady of Mercy, on Monday, March 9th. The ceremony took place in the spacious study hall of the Sisters’ Acade my, converted for the occasion into a chapel; and was witnessed by a large number of invited guests, amongst whom were several of our non-Catholic friends. “ The spacious Cathedral of St. An drew,’’ as one of our veracious daily" pa pers lately designated it, is a frame build ing, sixty by thirty-five feet. You will be glad to learn that it is becoming too small for the wants of our fast-growing congregation. Avery fair proportion of our church-goers is made up of non- Catholics; especially at the evening ser vice, at which the Bishop is giving a series of instructions on the doctrines and prac tices of the Catholic Church. | Cor. Catholic Telegraph. Archdiocese of New Orleans.— Death of a Holy Retjgieuse. —The week just ended has witnessed one of those events so little remarked in our busy w r orld, but of such eminent interest in tho records of Faith. A heroic soul, unknown in the strife and tumult of the age, but victori ous in the great spiritual combat, has finished her probation on earth and passed to the sphere where sacrifice is no longer accepted. Sister Mary of St. Theresa, Superior of the House of the Good Shepherd, died of consumption while still in the spring-time of her youth and usefulness. She was sent South from Canada, in the hope that a more genial climate would arrest the fatal malady which had al ready manifested its presence. But it was too late. The order has to submit to the loss of a member endowed with such piety, intelligence, and administrative ability as to be entrusted with the re sponsible post of Superior in the estab lishment, for the control of which so much discretion is essential. At the early age of twenty-six her cup of sacrifice and of merit is already full, and she is called away. Consummala in breve. [N. 0. (La.) Morning Star. FOREIGN. Death of Very Rev. Canon O’Neil, Vicar-General of Westminster. —The death of this excellent Priest is thus an nounced by his Grace Archbishop Manning : It is with much sorrow that we have to ask your prayers for the repose of the soul of the Very Rev. James Canon O’Neil, Vicar-General, who was taken from us on the night of the 15th. His life of humility and charity is so well known to all our flock, both clergy and people, that you will feel how great is our common loss. We would commend him to your charity, both in the Holy Sacrifice and in your communions and other works of piety ; and we are assured that you will long remember him in your prayers. Henry Edward, Archbp, of Westminster. Archbishop Manning has written a powerful letter to Earl Grey on the con dition of Ireland. At a time like the present, when all eyes are turned on that country, such a letter cannot fail to pro duci great good. advertisements.
