Passion Play.

gau was attended by large number
who evidently appreciated the interest
ing remarks made by the speaker de-
dueted from his experience when he
attended the last passion play.
The views were exceedingly fine and
we'll manipulated. Various new points
in the history OF Christ must have been
gathered by the audience, and the
stereoptopic views gave additional
force to the valuable explanations rem
dsred by the lecturer. There is no
doubt that the series of lectures must
prove great educational boon, and
the audience of last evening testifes
that they are duly appreciated.
