 Pen Pictures of the Passion Play.
 Rev. B. F. Matrau. rector of St. Paul Episcopal Church, continued his lectures on the Passion Play of Oberammergau last evening, large congregation hearing him with much interest.
 MT. Matrau's lecture began with the fourth act of the play, the general theme of which was the last journey of Christ into Jerusalem. The act Is introduced by a tableau representing Vashti rejected and Esther chosen queen by King Aha suerus. During the exposition of the ta- bleau the chorus sings an explanatory ode showing how the picture typifies the com ing or Christ into Jerusalem and how the city is to be doomed and the Savior re- ceived with joy fin the time or vengeance when the proud are to be cast out"
 The fourth act proper begins the en- trance of Christ and his disciples. They stand upon hill just outside Jerusalem, where Christ weeps over the sin and tho impending doom of the city. He and His disciples talk for some time about the fate of the mighty city below them, where not one stone shall be left upon another Judas alone stands apart meditating the betrayal. Two of the disciples are sent Into the city to prepare the Passover, which is to be eaten at the house of a man they shall find drawing water at the well. The Master is entreated not to en- ter the city unless he will reveal Him. self, crush His enemies and establish His Kingdom which they believe to be tenn poral. But Christ tells them that the time Is not yet come for His reign which will in due time be ''ordered of the Fa- ther." The scene ends with Christ re- buking Judas for his sordidness after which all leave the stage except Judas, who. in a soliloquy, tells of his deter imitation to desert his Master.
 In the midst of his musings Judas is in- terrupted by the traders whom Jesus had driven from the temple. They tempt him witr offers of monetary rewards and hopes of royal favor and he yields. determining not only to desert but to betray Christ.
