The Day at Jerusalem

JERUSALEM, March 25.-(Special
Correspondence. - Easter Sunday in
Jerusalem! Almost irresistibly these
words carry the thinker back more than
eighteen hundred years to this little city
of Palestine, where the greatest of relis-
ious tragedies was enacted. There is an
indefinable something about the place
which takes hold of the emotions of the
visitor and fills him with awe as he looks
reverently at the objects which witnessed
HIS last walk to cruel death and again
at the spot marked as the placse OF the
glorious resurrection. There are houses
here more than two thousand years old,
and some of their walls of stone were
passed by that awful procession struggle
along to the Mount of Calvary. No art OF
the word painter can picture the halo of
deep antiquity hanging over the city.
The solemnity of its age, the grandeur OF
its associations, cut a niche in the men,
DRY which time does not efface.
1t is the ideal city of all others for the
celebration of the Easter festival Christ
stood upon the hill of Calvary 1862 years
ago, and looked down upon the town

ing, and since then every year kind and
loving hands representing countless gen
erations of all times, all creeds and all
races have left some token in honor of
the day at the numerous places made
sacred by His presence.
On Easter day, the reputed tomb of
Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre is covered with the lilies which are
used all over the world. The Mount of
Calvary is visited by the Christian popu-
alton of the town and the members of the
various religious orders inhabiting it. and
flowers are strewn upon the spot where
the cross is supposed to have stood. The
archways under which Christ walked on
the morning OF the crucifxion, and
which are standing now and may stand
for another two thousand years. are visit
ed and pointed out to the small children
and their histories told. Teaching the
events of Easter time to the young Of
Jerusalem is an easy matter. Actualities
are there, and they can be seen for the
trouble OF looking. The city is not

so placed that at about the noon hour the
interior is ill ed with vast volume OF
sunlight, radiant in every hue of the
rainbow. These rays all point or end

array of Easter flowers will be bathed in
a light of wonderfully soft brilliancy.
There are more than five hundred places
of worship in New IoIk where Easter
will be observed with flowers and music.
Looking at it this way it becomes an easy
matter to estimate the sum in the agsre-
gate expended by the churches in celebra-
ting the day Five hundred dollars is a
conservative figure of the average eXpen-

considerably less, and Q large number
