GOOD FRIDAY. commemoration or TUB cbucifixion of TUB BAVIOUB?THE SERVICES YESTEUOAT. Tbere was one more evldenoe yesterday that Good Friday is gaining a greater hold on tba publio mind year by year. This day has hoen recognized by both Episcopalian and Catholic alike. In old England the name ol the day baa been changed from Holy Friday to Good F riday, and it waa again called by the Saxons Long Friday, on account of tbe length ol the aervice Tbe Germans oalled it '?Stiller Frcitag,'' on account ol tbe silenoe ol the mills on that day; and sometimes they called It "Char Frextag," meaning thereby tba penitence slgutfled. The ancient churches Introduced the word "Pasch," on account ol Christ being the true Paschal Lamb, and the "Pasch ol tne Crnoiflxlon," or tbe "Sorrowlul Pasch,'' and tbe name soon became uni versally applied to it in the Eaat and in several countries of Western Europe. Many of the old eus toms peculiar to the day bare died out. In the early Church It was customary te release public penitents front their probation on Good Eriday, and the excoui muuicated were redeemed from their ban. The 11 rat Christian emperors even liberated pnaonera front their doom and recalled Irotu exile the very worst clatsta during tbo closing days ol Holy Woek. Slaves have alse been lavorud by ibe manumtaaion allowed lo be exercised toward tuoaa In the Courts, ibis eustom being embodied In a proclamation ot Justinian in 357 A. 1). In England uod Ireland, the lulier especially, tbe day is observed very strictly ainoug tbe oribodox believers, Protea tant and Catholic, ol both nationalities. Very few, ir any, ol the aucioul customs, however, are In vogue. Tbe Episcopalians confine themselves to their ritual proper lor the day. Amoug ibe Catholics ot all countries tbo day baa purely a religious slguiQcanco at thia tune, li m iii? one day In Ilia JTCl.T" w He a even the moet laviff^ruul Catholic coudescenda to lgl people know mat no la a Catholic. Of course, tbe men of brains, wbo can not understand tho existence ot a God, goto resiau rsnis to sbow bow "smart" tbey are. Thi* is a kind ot sad prelude to the observance of the day by the simple people who have bton always hollering In a happier world io come. MASS Of THK PRRSAMOTIPIID. la nearly all in* prominent Cjiboliu churches jet. terday ihero wu only a single mass suid?aud that was not a mass proper?being kuow-n us the mass of id# pre*auciitlod.

At St Ignaliu i' Church, in fortieth street, near Sixth aveune, the Uood Friday devotions were, in p>.inl ol luipressiveuuas and -olemuity, akin to tboire held in the Huuisn Cntbelic cutroues throughout the tilly. They were alao ol great lenglb. beginning as early as scveu o'clock In the morniug aud laatlug, with but Utile Ihli rmission, uulll late in the evening. All ol the^ services were conducted by ibe rector, Kev. Dr. Ewer, who also preached a brief sermon on me aionemeou The aspect ol tbe churcu wa? aoiahre In tbe extreme. Tbe altar, the reading desk, Ibo gilded candelabra and all objecia which on other ocoi slous are made to harmouite with the giad tidings prouiulgated in ibe bouse ol UoU were ou ibis occaaion draped in nioerning tn memory ol our Lord's passion snd crucifixion. Neither did the sound ol music bresk in upon tbe aorrowiui solemnity of ine devotions, lor the orgs* is not permuted, ac cording to ibe observances ol tbe time, to give torth aiiy sound between Maundy Tliurtdsy tnd Esater Even.

All dsy long, aud more especially ai the "SerTico or the Three liours' Agony," lucre was a large attendance 01 devotees, who appeared to be thoroughly impressed with the seluinn cli trader of the servicea. lu the moruing at seven o'cloek the exercise* were lor me most part tn the nature ol pri vate devotions aud moditaiious, tno prayers auil loiinuite being taken lrom lb* religious manual known aa "The Treasury ol Devotion." Ai ume o'clock morning prayer wne said and Dr. Ewor preached a sermon ou tbe aiounuiem. His uls course wus brief, us main argument b.-ing thai iu theory which had been yel advanced to explain the iiloDemoiil was at ell adequate or aetistuciorv. I hose, be said, who held lo tbo lb' ory llial ibe erosj appealed to Uoa's Justice were overborne by ibo c win buid Ibr.l ll appealed 10 God's bollnet*. At the same time be adtnlited thai thoae who held the theory tbat the cross uppealed to Uod'a justice tiad a strong srguiuenl against the piMiiton oi their opponents.

In short, he maintained that the atonement uriu too great to be included within the limits ol aay theory or of all the theories combiue-i, lor the heart hsd Us reasons about which the braiu knew nothing.

Then the choir u tercd the words:? ?'We venuruto Thv cros?. OLord, aud praise sudglorily Tuy holy resur. rectiou ; lor, behold, by the cross has come joy to ib? wholo world." A brum oipressivo ol venoration lor the cross was then sung. The principal service of the day was begun at noon and lasted three hours, lu commemoration of out Lord's throe boars' sgony. It begun with a hvi.m having relerence to ihe passion, after which Dr Lwer spots Irom the altar the llrst word of JeauJ from too cross:?"Father, lorgivo them, lor tbev know not wbut they do." Then lollowed exteinuora prayer ucd meditation. A by inn wusauug, acoilect was read uud some Ave mluuUs allowed to elapse for private meditation.

No act rocorded In cobuee tlou with the death ol Christ, said Ibo Doctor occu. pied a larger place In the living oracles than this and none Is more pregnant with significance. The flr-t thing to be atteiuptud is to show that wueo the sol diet s spoar .lisciosed a cleit in tbs Rock ol Aites it also revealed the intense anguish wnictt reut it. Probably there Is no case on record whero a crucifled person, whun let alouo, died In less thuu twelve hours some living even to seven days.
