with the greatest socnnity rs Il prepare
ton for the festival Of Easter Holy
week opens with Palm sunday. which
commentaries the triumphant entrance
OF Christ into Jerusalem, and his driving
from the temple the traders and money
changers, who, in their greed for gain had
Il second time invaded the precincts OF
the sacred edihre. Ailerronfounding his
opponents with his Wisdom he Withdrew
in the evening IT, Bethlehem. the home ol
Lazarus and his sisters, who are called
his friends in the sacred biography .
Tuesday morning he returned to IeruSl-
lem, spending the day in the temple, and
/ was engaged in refutlng the criticisms OF
! the PhariseeS and SaiuccrS, On his way
/ to the Holy city the rursing OF the barren
| fig tree took place Wednesday was quiet
ly passed ut Bethlehem. Thursday morn
ing he returned to the city and on the
evening OF that day delivered his last
charges to his disciples, called mandate,
from a corruption of which term the name
applied to this day was dPriyed-Maun-
day-Thursday. Late at night he instituted
the holy eucharist, TIE Christian sacrifice
which was the substance of all the typical
or shadow sacrifices of the Israeites,
and the only service ordered 10y the Lord
himself to he observed by his followers.
These, from the accounts to be read in the
first book OF ecclesiastical history, the
"Acts OF the Apostles, - seem to have
used no other service except this, which
the historian there desgnates rs the
breaking of bread" The record Of the
"Acts' certainly makes tins observance
weekly, and possibly daily.
After the "institutOn' the Lord chant
ed with his disciples the ll4th and ll5th
Psalms, called in the gospel Il hymn, and
then went ont into the Mount OF Olives.
The agony in the garden of Gcthscmane,
the betrayal by Judas, the mock trial 10y

attendants, and the condemnation at the
motion OF the high priest followed; and
day was breaking when tine court adj
journed Good Friday morning Jesus
was carried before the Roman prOcurator,
Pontius PLATE, iOr the sanhedrim, while
they had condemned him to death, were
powerless to carry their sentence into
effect, and were compelled To persuade
Plate that his execution WAS a measure
which he must authorize or run the risk
of losing his office, since they threatened
to report him at Rome as allowing man
to escape who had committed treason
against the empire by asserting that he
was king. PLATE, after making vain
efforts to appease the blOOdthrsty mob,
egged on by the priests and Phari-
sees, and after going through a
farce OF washing his hands
as Il sign OF his non-rompicity with his
order, given at their demand, sent
Jesus away to be crucified by a company
OF Roman soldiers Christ hung upon
the cross from T. IN. until > p. M, when
his body was taken down and delivered

the Protestants, who no longer think as
some OF their early founders did, that
such a custom is Il kind OF superstition
However, none of the Protestant bodies
have, as yet, ordered the observance Of
