Pen Pictures of the Passion Play.

Last night, at St. Paurs Church, pr. Matrau have his eighth talk on the Pas sion Play to a large congregation. The general theme was, Jesus Before the Tribunal of King Herod' and the ''Scourging and Crown of Thorns.'
 The first act opens by the choir chant Ing in unison of the indignity heaped upon Jesus, by being dragged from one tribu- nal to another to be sentenced to death, and a parallel is drawn between the scorn of contumely with which Sampson was treated by his foes and the treatment Jesus received from the priests, scribes, Pharisees and traders of Jerusalem.
 The seventeenth tableau of the play represents Sampson averaging himself on the Philistines by pulling down the tenn pie upon their heads. The blinded giant which the roof rests, breaking it assun- der, and the company. arrested in their ungoldly mirth, wait in horror to see their impending doom: While the ta- bleau is being displayed, the choir sings: Behold. the mighty Sampson brave,
 Is fettered by a coward crew,
 The hero, who his thousands slew,
 Wears now the garment of slave.
 50 Jesus. Son of God, doth stand,
 A mark for proud fools scorn and hate.
 Mocked in a royal robe of white,
 Despised, abused, on every hand"
 The choir now retires, and the curtain rises, and the interior of King Herod B palace is seen. The king stands besides his throne, arrayed in scarlet robe, wearing a golden crown upon his head, and holding a golden scepter in his hand, and he engages in conversation with the members of his court about the notable Jewish prisoner soon to be brought before him to be sentenced His first thought was that John the Baptist had come to life again, and one of the attendants re- assures him that the forerunner of Jesus has not returned from the other world to confront him.
 We now see coming in upon the stage the soldiers and rabble, bringing Jesus with them, that Herod may pronounce the death sentence. Caiaphas. the High Priest, is the spokesman. After rehears- ing everything about Jesus which had been told to Pilate, and the informal ton that Pilate had sent the prisoner to He rod, this king now begins to question Jesus. After a great deal of questioning. he Is unable to elicit any response what
