In which nearly all, both inside and out

This lasts until out Of the Greek church.
on the east side Of the rotunda comes a
long procession Of priests with en-
broidered banners. which take the place
Of images in their ritual These defla
around the holy sepulchre.
The pilgrims now commence to shout
and chant snatches of the Chant OF Basil
and st. ChrysostOm.
AS the presence Of the Turks is sup
posed to prevent the descent Of the
sacred fire, the troops now allow them
selves to be driven out of the church,
the mob pretending to exert violence.
AT this juncture the bishop es Petra
representing the patriarch or supreme
pontiff Of the Greek church, hurries to the
chapel of the sepulchre. and the door
closes upon him. Now comes the moment
of supreme excitement. The heads of the
multitude surge to and fro and their
arms lend themselves to extraordinary
gestures To the awful uproar Of this
burst Of fanaticism the chapel Of the
sepulchre presents a strange contrast.
In 1t, the bishop is performing a miracle.
Suddenly bright light appears at the
aperture, and a feeling of awe sileuces
every tongue in that vast concourse. Tho
light burns brightly and signifies the
descent of Cod himself, upon the holy
timb.
Tapers are now lighted at the holy fire
and passed from hand to hand, the crowd
slowly filing out Of the church. bearing
the bishop on the shoulders OF the msuest.
AS he leaves the church, q mounted
horseman appears and gallops off with Il

lands to be present at the great feast,
have slept within the sacred walls over
night
The interior of the sepulchre presents
a strangely complicated appearance The
chapel building, a queer shaped edifice of
brown marble, with a tawdry looking
cupoIa and ornamentation, is divided into
two sections. In the eastern division is
the stone of the angel It. is occupied
by Greeks and Armenians. Through a
round aperature on the northern side the
holy fire Issues for the Greeks, and
through another opening in the opposite
wall, that for the Armenans.
A little wooden chapel at the west
ern side accommodates the poor Copt
worshipers, while further yet in that
direction is the Syrian chapel, wherein
are the assumed tombs of Joseph and
Nicodemus, the only tangible evidence
of the authenticity of the site.
With the crowd of pilgrims waiting in
the center of the sepulchre and the gal
leries crowded with spectators the scene
is one of incessant life and motion To
maintain order among the miscellaneous
crowd and the equally diversified mass OF
persons that has gathered outside lines

The PRINCIPAL work for these troops
is to restrain the fiery little Arabs. who
attempt to rash around the sepulchre to

How Easter Is Celebrated

7 The Christian mind naturally turns at
the season OF Easter to the places ami
scenes where the great tragedy of the
birth crucifixion and resurrection of
Christ took place Naturally also, one
thinks of Jerusalem in connection with
those glorious memories whereon rest the
foundations of Christian faith
Jerusalem today presents a sorry as

prosperity of some Oriental cities Fer

Easter, or resurrection, has not yet
come.
1t is Easter eve, and what signs of
life are stirring in the city all seem
to be moving in one direction-toward
the church of the Holy Sepulchre, re-
9arded by some as the appropriate cen
ter Of the worship of chrstendom and
the cathedral OF Palestine and the East.
This edifce is regarded as the model
Of all the circular churches in Europe.
The dcme stretches impressively above
the great rotunda of the nave, the sky
showing through the opening in the cen
ter as it does in the Pantheon light and
air having free access.
Beneath the dome are the galleries. the

vent, accommodating the Frankish por-
tion of the audience.
This imposing interior is shortly to be
the scene Of a remarkable spectacle,

Uncle Sam is generally credited with
having his weather eye peeled along a
good many lines, principally of a COM
merciaI character, with the end in view
of being able to print as many S-2en

Persons who appreciate this condition of

Uncle Samuel has weather eye and that
the eye is working most of the time.
AS matter of fact, Uncle Sam has his
weather eye open in the literal sense
of the phrase, and furthermore, he is an
argus-eyed individual, as far as weather
conditions are concerned, and his l2U
weather eyes never blink, no matter how
glaring the sunshine or how biting the
blizzard. Uncle Sam has a Bertinion sys-
