I. TIE GAET PASSOVER.
1. Data.


Carefully compare the following accounts {:
st. Matthew'S, 26: 1913; st. Marks, Ia 12-
is. and St. Luke's, 22:7-13. Tho first two
were written at Rome and the last at Achais.
All three wore composed in about the year A.
ID. 49, or not far from 81 years after the events
occurred which are reported.
@ Preliminary.
Studying the Gospels Of SITS. Matthew and
Mark, we find account OF our Savior having at
tended but one Passover during his ministry.
From the Gospel of st. John we learn, however,
of the celebration by Christ on three other oc-
casions of the Passover. 2:13. %; 5:1; s: 4.
The first attendance was in the year A. d. &C.
about six months after his baptism. 2:13. %.
The second was one year afterward. 5: /.
The third was the succeeding year "a. ID. 2s).
GA. We next read of his fourth attendance.
1t is of that NC are now to study. We the
ministry of our Savior must have extended over
about three and one-balf years. We learn from
st. Luke's Gospel e: d., 42) that Jesus went up
to Jerusalem when IL years old to attend his
first Passover. 1t is probable he continued to
go annually up to said feast As a faithful Jew
he would obey the law. Deu., Is /. The ex-
cusc for not attending tho Passover would have
to be very good. Some students think Jesus
did not go to the Passover in tho year A. d. %,
and they believe sufficient reason is stated.
st. John, GA; Isl. Read ST. Matt, 3: 15
That verse shows Christ was very particular
about observing all the Jewish customs, cere-
monies and laws.

Summer Attraction.

1t has become quite the fashion with
street railway companies throughout the
country to own a park where summer
amusements are given free to the patrons
of the road. The Schuylkill Electric Rail
way Company of Pottsville will open a
summer amusement resort at Tumbling
Kun and have employed the famous
Cyrene, dancer who is considered the
best attraction in the amusement world.
Cyrene, aside from her professional work,
is a most interesting woman. Born at
Puebla Nueva, Island of Cuba, in 1870,
she was early apprenticed to a circus,
where she was taught to perform all kinds
of circus accomplishments, and at sixteen
years of age was considered one of the
best bareback riders living and for two
seasons was featured through this country
by the Barnum circus. Six years ago che
quit the circus ring for the stage and has
since devoted her time to dancing. Her
professional engagements have taken her
to all parts Of the world and in some
strange countries She has only recently
returned to America from China, japan
and India. She saw the battle between
the Chinese and Japanese in Corea that
delivered the Hermit kingdom into the
possession of the japanese. A fac smile
of the passport given Cyrene by Admiral
Ito and which passed her through the
Japanese lines and into Nagasaki, Japan,
was recently published in the New York
World. Another relic Cyrene prizes
highly is the order of the Ameer of
Afghanistan, commanding her to perform
at the palace of the Ameer. From India
she brings many strange and curious
documents which are unintelhgible to us,
but are the commands of powerful po-
tentates for her to perform for royalty. A
substantial present was always the result
of her performance before any prince.
During the summer Cyrens will perform
exclusively for street railway companies
and next winter will fill professional en-
gagements in South America. 1t is not
unlikely she will appear in Shenandoah
during the summer Negotiations 20 that
effect have already been started through
the influence Of the HERALD.
