brown wooden blankets fastened over their

the right arm free. These men are Arabs

of the Turkish soldiers. 1t appears to be
somewhat in their belief that unless they

strange remnant in their blood of the funeral

The head so lately crowned with thorn.

They heard the napkin downward drawn
They listened to His breathing low;
His feet upon the threshold fall.

His love the perfume of them all.

They, watching in the morning gray,
Saw angels come so silently
And roll the mighty stone away;
They saw Him pass the portals gloom;
lie brushed their leaves-oh, happy dover!
Bring l~ilies-purest buds that bloom,
His face reflected in each flower.
The roses were the first to hear,
The lilies were the first to see;
Bring fragrant flowers from far and near
TO match the Easter melody!

And every heart the rapture share

HUB OF The HOLY LAND
Quaint and Varied Observance Of Easter in
Jerusalem.
ORIENTAL AND EUROPEAN CONFUSION
Frenzied Multitude Participates In
the Ceremonies Mt Sacred
Places Astounding In the
worlds Babylon.

On Easter eve the visitor in Jerusalem
will find a scene presenting in every as
spect the mysterious and Jealous east, a
picture worthy of study in many lights, and
one which blends with the strictly oriental
tho noisy confusion of European life. The
ceremonies are held in the Church Of the
Holy Sepulcher, which may be regarded, not
merely as the center of worship of Chris
tendon, but also the cathedral church of
Palestine and the east. The church is the
model Of all the circular churches of Eu-
rope. Above the great rotunda of the nave
the dome stretches, with tile sky showing
through the opening in the center, which,
like that in the Panthenon, admits the light
and air of day. The galleries extend i'm
mediately beneath; in the northern one.
which belongs to the Latin convent, the
Frankish portion of the audience is assem-
bled.
For the spectacle which is shortly to take
place nothing could be better suited than
the form of the rotunda, with it's galleries
above the spectators and its vast space
open below for the great mass of pilgrims
and their festival. The enormous concourse
of them now within the church walls have
slept in their seats during the preceding
night.
The chapel OF the Scpulcher stands below
the galleries, a queer shaped ejifice of brown
marble, with a congumptive-looking cupola
one shelters the Stone of the Angel, and Is
occupied by the Greeks and Armenians. A

vases, and a whole forest of slender tapers.

the multitude from side to side as the mob
burst with mock violence upon the troops
and break through the procession, until
standard bearers. bishops and priests fee
before the tremendous rush.
The bishop OF Petra, who Is the especial
representative of the patriarch, Is now
hurried to the chapel Of the sepulchre, and
the door closed upon him. and the whole
great church Is one heaving sea OF heads,
and bare outstretched arms, which resemble
nothing so much as the branches of a forest
quivering in some violent tempest. In the
midst OF this frantic uproar stands the
chapel Of the Holy Sepulcher enveloped in
awful silence, and ~involuntarily the spec
tator thinks that II there is TO be indeed a
display of miraculous power the time is
come now, and that the very stones should
cry out against the wild fanaticism without
and the wretched fraud within, by which
the chapel is at this hour desecrated.
Suddenly a brilliant flame appears inside
the aperture to which a short time previous
the representative OF the patriarch had
been conducted.
The light burns brightly and steadily and
signifies in the belief Of every pilgrim pres
ent the descent Of God Himself upon the
holy tomb. As every educated Greek ac-
knowledges and knows the flame is kindled
by the bishop within.
Slowly the tapers are lighted at the holy
fire and distributed among the great throng
uIlln llC spdIh SpltdNS ~ ha'id y manu-
and to the onlookers in the galleries the
area below Is one wide blaze OF thousands
of burning candles, and at this %juncture the
bishop is carried out from the chapel on the
shoulders of the people, half %fainting. in
order to give the impression to the congrega-
ton that he is overcome by the glory OF the
Almighty. from Whose immediate presence
he is believed to have come.
AS he is borne out Of the church, a mounted
stationed at the gates, gallops off
with a lighted taper to communicate the
sacred flame to the lamps of the Greek
church in the convent at Bethlehem.
A FREN2lED PANORAMA.
The pilgrims rush to and fro, touching
their faces and breasts with the fire to test
its supposed harmlessness. The pressure
upon the single entrance is aud
many are carried out of the crush in an over
powered state.
Out into the streets pour the multitude, de-
formed and ragged old women with skeleton
hands, handsome Armenian men and matrons,
diseased and filthy children, bronzed young
and peasants, until the dirty courts,
which look like the haunts of witches, take
on the semblance of life, and the rubbish en-
gardens, shaded by dusty fig ami
trees, and the deserted alleys teen

The excitement increases In magnitude
and extent, until finally the whole space In
the circle between the troops is continuously
occupied by a whirling race OF these wild
figures, much like the witches Sabbath in

time to time, are caught the solemn chants
Of the church OF Basil aud Chrysostom,
THE CRISIS OF THE DAY,
At last two lines OF Turkish soldiers Join
and fall in behind. The crisis OF the day is
now approaching, for the presence OF the
Turks is supposed to prevent the descent
Of the fire. and 1t is at this point that they
are driven, or consent TO be driven, out OF
the church. One great movement sways
