CHRIST IN JERUSALEM.
DIR. Bristol breaches n Timely Ser
mon i'm the MetropoIitan Church.

mon i'm the Metropolitan Church.
The entry of Christ into Jerusalem on
| the Sabbath just previous to his crucifixion
By the Jews was the subject of beautiful
and interesting discourse yesterday by the
Rev. DIR. Frank NJ. Bristol, the pastor. at
the Metropolitan NJ E. Church. The SER
mon was eloquent in word and thought, and
held the undivided attention of large con-
gregaton.
The subject is one. however, Dr. Bristol
said, which cannot be discussed or dis
posed of in day, but one which demands
| the serious, lifelong consideration of
Christians. Today, as when Christ entered
| Jerusalem and the multitude cried out
Who is this?'' is the question as de-
serving of thought, and today the same
question is asked us by the waving of
| palms.
| DR.. Bristol took his text from Matthew
X, 81: And when he was come into Je-
rusalem the whole city was moved and
the multitude cried out, Who is this?' .
In developing his text, Dr. Bristol briefly
retold the story of the coming of Christ
to Jerusalem; how the people met him and
strewed his way with palms and green
branches, and accompanied him to the tenn
| pie.
Just as that event was celebrated then,
| so il is now, the speaker said, in all the
cities and the capitals of nations Of all the
countries of the world, by the young and
old. in whose hearts the palms are way
| ing in commemoration of Christ's entry
| into Jerusalem. In the waving of the
palms the Christian world acknowledges
him the king of the universe. the king
| of righteousness, and the demonstration
with which he was met upon his entry into
| Jerusalem was sufficient to make the
thoughtful ask who is this. who had so
! inspired the people, made them believe and
follow him.
The same cause which prompted the Jews
| to ask. Who is ths?" must inspire to
| consider also who is this that made the
lame walk. the blind to see, and the dead
| TO cast aside their winding sheets, said
| Dr. Bristol. 1t will not do simply to say
that he is the great prophet from Nazareth
| or new philosopher. We must study his
character, which shines forth in purity and
angelic splendor. and then it is we find
that in the sublimity of his character he
is far greater than in any of the miracles
he performed. His character presents TO
us the embodiment of self sacrifice for the
| good of humanity.
who does not know that the name of
Christ stands for and means more than all
else of which We know anything? If we
study its influence upon manhood and
womanhood, we will learn that it is re-
sponsible for all the heights to which civil
| ization and humanity have risen; that all
we have and all we may hope for is in
spired by him. In our time of sorrow it
is he who comes to us as a sweet vision
of happiness. and who takes from death lis
sting. who lifts from us our burdens, and
who opens up to us the hope OF life ever
lasting"
DIR. Bristol announced that there will be
revival services held every evening during
the coming week, in the Metropolitan
Church.

NIRVANA DEFINED.
The Teachings of the Sages of TIL,
East.

East.
Major James Albert Clark, President of
the Theosophical Society, addressed an in
telligent audience on a subject which was
chosen by non members of the society
who wished to know how the sages of the
East arrived at their proclaimed conclu-
sions. The subject of the lecture was
''Nirvana and Devachan as Taught by the
Culture of the East
The lecturer placed stress upon the fact
that priestcraft in the Orient, representing
hundreds of sects differentiated from the
earlier religions OF the East, do not repre-
sent the culture of the same environment.
any more than does the ordinary preacher
or priest in Western civilization stand
for the higher thought in the scientific
and philosophical categores.
'Nirvana," the lecturer said, ''as trans
lated from the Sanscrit of such profound
nature students, is sublime state of
conscious rest in omniscience.' The ex-
PLANTATION of such a definition is not an
tagonistic to the declaration of Huxley and
other scientists. that If mans conscious
ness continues TO expand there must in
time. according TO inevitable evolution.
come a point where it would know all.
therefore omniscient. But Prof. Huxley
was not confining his prophecy to post
mortem states of consciousness. Western
gravest psychological problems which have
ever engaged the reasoning faculty of man.
and solutions of many of these questions
have been found in the East. 1t is con-
soling TO the theosophist to observe that
the efforts of Prof James. of Harvard, and
Prof. Ladd, of Yale universities. on psy
Geological lines. though yet confined to
the more immediate subjective states of
consciousness, are, nevertheless, on the
same lines which long ago were traversed
in the East and which led ultimately TO
the fuller elaboration of post-mortem
states.
.'Devachan in the East; is an intermedi-
ate state, but not purgatory. such as was
at first enuncated by Gregory the Great
later eXpounded at the Fererra- Florence
Council and finally stamped with greater
impress at the Council of Trent Deva-
chan, in its simplest generalization. is
state of subjectIvity as opposed to the
objective plane on which forms are mani
tested. AS nothing in Nature can be an
initiated, mans consciousness must be
accounted for. The great Humboldt
grasped the truth so long taught in the
East-'only what We have wrought in
consciousness can be taken over with US"
Goethe, with the intuition of a seer vision
ed a broader realm when he reasoned on
the stubborn persistence and permanence
of anything which had once attained to
individuality. and Faraday in the more
concrete sciences attested this postulate
when he declared that a particle of oxygen.
though 1t traversed a thousand years
through thousand combinations, is yet a
particle of oxygen. A sublime state Of
conscious rest in omniscience' Is not,
therefore. unphilosophical.

CELEBRATING PALM SUNDAY.
Impressive Ceremonies in Many o.
the Churches.

the thurcnes.
Yesterday being Palm Sunday the beau
tiful and impressive ceremonies of the
procession of the palms and holy COM
munion were celebrated by all the ritual
istic denominations of the city. The day
itself was an inspiration and the beautiful
morning hours contributed TO fill the va
rious church with throngs of worshipers.
The custom of observing the day is an
old one, and is in commemoration OF
Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on
the Sunday before the crucifixion. On that
occasion the followers OF the Saviour pre-
ceded him and cast palms and flowers in
his pathway, thinking that his entry into
the Holy City was to be the beginning of
temporal kingdom. Palm Sunday is also
the first day of the Holy or Passion week,
and is universally observed in all parts
of the Christian world.
Special services will be held every oven-
ing during the week. On Easter Sunday
the church will remove all mourning and
rejoice with flowers and music.
In the Catholic and Episcopal churches
the services yesterday were in accord with
the ritual for the observance of Palm Sun
day and were extremely beautiful and i'm
pressive. At st. Aloysius the blessing and
distribution of palms. procession, solemn
high mass, and sermon was the order oil
eAerclSeS- SpeCidi MUSIC Was eiueieu pS
the choir, the principal theme being pas
sages from the life of Christ.
St Patricks Catholic Church. Father
Stafford officiating, celebrated solemn high
mass at 1890 o'clock and distributed
palms. The gospel chanted by the vested
choir was the passion of the Saviour ac-
cording to st. Matthew.
At Epiphany Episcopal Church the
services were holy communion a. m. /;
confirmation by the Bishop of Washington,
IL a. m; adult Bible class, 10 a. m.
At st. Johns the services were, a. m.
holy communion: IL a. M, morning prayer
and sermon by the rector; p. m, Sunday
school and Bible classes.
Special music was rendered in all the
churches and the anthem work of the va
! rious choirs consisted of a skillful and rev.
erential rendering of carefully chosen
| specimens of purely ecclesiastical music.
The sermons of the various pastors were
also of appropriate theme, the usual sub
ject being one that referred to the closing
scenes connected with Chrst's last days
on earth.
The times., 1899-03-27

The principal difference between the per-
formance given last night at Kernan's and
those offered earlier in the week was in
the fact that the audience Of yester-even-
Ing was enormous. Every seat in the house
was filled and many were unable to pro-
cure tickets. AS Manager Eugene Herman
had advertised, the regular bill was given
almost in its entirety, the omission OF the
burlesque being the only one made. Sew
eral new moving pictures of the Windsor
Hotel fire were put on in the place of this
afterpiece and were apparently much en-
joyed. The Sunday evening entertainment
will be continued at the Lyceum. the at

War Department cost st-57 word. The
time required for transmission is about
three hours. If a cablegram be marked
urgent it may be rushed through in one

the $4,000 miles of space intervening be-
tween Washington and Manila; that is, at
eighteen points the message must be re-
peated, as there are eighteen breaks in the
circuit. The first cable runs to Hongkong.

ference in time between Manila and Wash
ington is thirteen hours. 1t is afternoon

''Lohengrin," the work in which the
Grau Opera Company will open its brief
season in this CITY, is said to be the most
Italian of all Wagner's efforts. Ii was
first produced when the composer was in
exile and was great success. All the
people talked about it and went to see it,
SO that Wagner sadly remarked: II shall
heard Lohengrin.'"
The story of the piece represents Elsa
Won Brabant, accused of numbering her
brother in order to bestow his dukedom
on an unworthy lover. Lohengrin, son of
Parsifal, guardian of the Holy Grail, comes
to prove her innocence by fighting duel
with her accuser. This man is defeated
and the victor marries Elsa on condition
that she will not enquire who he is or
whence he comes. The wife's curiosity is
too much for her and she asks the fatal
question on the wedding night. He an
swers, but yanishes on his swanboat.
which shows that woman should not pro-
pound to her husband too many embar
RAISING questions as to his career before
marriage.
.'Lohengrin" has proved itself the most
popular of the German operas during the
New York season, and in the voting con-
test here was requested by 1871 persons.
The cast for its production in this city is
an ideal one, presenting Nine. Nordica as
Elsa, Jean de Reske as Lohengrin, Nine.
Schumann-H -Heink as Ortrud, David Bis
pham as Telramund. and NJ. Edouard de
Reske as King Henry.
Manager Grau promises that the entire
local season shall be greater in all re-
spects than any which has preceded it
one which will reflect credit upon the social
circles of the city. 1t will also afford those
who attend the privilege of seeing and
hearing a number of the best and most
highly-cultured voices ever known 10 a
grand opera organization. To give series
of only four performances with company
in which are artists of such established
reputation as Nordica Sembrich, Eames,

cess this year with the Metropolitan Opera
| Company easily ranks it as the most mag
, nificent combinations of the kind ever

which is said to have been settled by the
manager opening his pocketbook to an
alarming width, many of the singers were
! under engagements with houses supported
| by the governments of the various Euro
pean countries. and the officials were not
inclined to advise them to come to America
