To the greater part OF the Christian
world the present week is one OF e.
treme interest. The Lutheran, Greek,
Roman Catholic, Protestant Episco-
pal and other Churches that conform
TO the observances Of the ancient
Church, observe throughout the
ecclesiastical year each striking event
in the life Of Christ and the founding
ce the Church. In this way the
Christians attention is perpetually
called to their great Teacher, to His
first followers, and to those signal
events that marked the start of re-
Egion that has fostered the moral
and spiritual elevation of man, his
progress in civilization, art and
science, in q way that not even the
genius Of Greece could accomplish,
for the Christian influence penetrated
to the lowest strata of human society.
Not confined to the cultured few, it
aroused sympathy for the poor, ele-
waited woman from her deep degrade
ton, and proclaimed the common
brotherhood of all mankind. Since
then, crafty teachers, welding igno-
rance as the scepter Of their power,
have too long and too often obscured
the grandeur and distorted the beauty
Of Christianity, but even false friends
have not prevented Christianity
achieving triumphs such as no other
faith has ever secured. This week,
passion week, or holy week, is the
most important of the Christian year,
and the attendants at the services
that are held daily in our large cities
have their attention directed to the
closing days Of Christ's ministry, to
those events described 80 strikingly
in the latter chapters Of each gospel.
On to-morrow-Good Friday-the
church services are specially impress
sive and solemn. To whatever sect
. man may belong, he cannot but be
the better if he attend some of these
occasions. The grand lessons taught
by our holy religion appear to i'm
press us with double force when
brought to our remembrance in con-
nection with the events that proceed
ed the crucifxion, and when on Good
Friday the scenes Of that awful sacri-
fee are portrayed the heart cannot
but yield to the influence of death
that was sacrifice for the welfare OF
al humanity. "Greater love hath nc
man than this, that man lay down
his life for his friends" Sunday
win be the glorious Easter day, ''the
gladdest Of the year," when is cele-
brated the greatest fact that all the
vast pages Of human history record
the resurrection from the dead, the
demonstration Of mans Immortality.
