Coon FRIDAY--ITs History .-To.mor-
row will be Good Friday, the day on
which 800 millions of tho $50 millions of
Christians In the world commemorate the
cruciilxion Of Jesus Christ. II is called
good" perhaps, because lIc who gave
Himself up to death on this day, did 80
for the good of all mankind.
1t is not therefore day of mans insti-
tuition, but was consecrated by the Lord
Jesus Christ Himself The anniversary of
His sutierings could never have passed by
ms II common day in those times when the
memory of them WAS yet so recent, and
when daily fellowship in them was so
continually before the eyes Of Christians
in the martyrdoms of lIis faithful servants.
There may be just doubts about the true
date Of Christ's birth; but there can be
no doubt about the time of His cruchIion
Ihe Jewish Calendar fixes that.
Tcttullian, who was converted to
Christianity before the end of the second
century, in speaking Of the obscr, ancc
of tho day, called 1t the Paschal Day.
Lhtcr it was called tho Day of our Lord =
Passion, but its present beautiful appclla-
tion is the one 10y which it has now been
known for many centuries.
With tho Passion of her Lord in view,
it has always been the object of the church
to make the deyotions of Good Friday
such as should help Christians to realize
{ the magnitude of the sacrifice that He Of
fercd-of the sins by which il was made
necessary, and Of the mercy which moved
him 10 oircr it. Says Tertullian son the
Paschal Day the strict Observance Of the
fast is general, and rs it were public" not
restricted TO those who profcssed to lead "A
life Of closer devotion than others works
Of charity were permitted, even to the cI.
tent Of the rich ploughing the land OF the
poor, but no other labor was engaged in
on this holy day.
In this State, where there Is a popula-
ton of about three and half millions,
not more than one fourth par, Of the peo-
pie are professcIIy Christian, yet so great
is the influence of Christianity that Law
has been passed by the Legislature making
Good Friday legal holiday. Tho litur-
gics Of the Lu,hern, Reformed, Episcopal
and Roman churches all contain .r.ccial
forms Of religious worship for Good Fri
day, and We presume that there will be
public worship in the churches Of each Of
Che denominations named, both in town
and in the country, tomorrow. or course
the banks will be clU.cd
