For DAYS the MOSlems are gathering
at Jerusalem, the rich officials, the mer
chants and farmers, and the wild Be
douins, who are not very religious
The Moslems hold he place where
the Temple was, and they have two
mosques, Omar and El-Aksa, in what
was the enclosure of the Temple. They
have also many other mosques in the
city.
In all these they spend much time in
preparation, and then on the appointed
day they take out with much ceremony
their green banners and form Il pro-
cession through the eastern gate.
Some high officers start who do not
go all the way. They ride white
horses with red brides and saddles.
The people wear bright turbans. The
soldiers carry guns, but the desert peo-
pie have spears.
For an hour they all come streaming
out of the city, going down the hill to
the valley of the Kedron, and so over
the Mount of Olives and out of sight
And they are gone for a week. Then
they come back and return to their
homes.
Christians are not allowed to go, but
n Moslem friend has told me that they
hold many services, and have some
thing like what is called by us a re
vival."

the Turkish military bands will for

THURMONT, COUNTY, MD. THURSDAY APRIL

800 years after our Lords death; when
it had stood about three centuries 1t
was destroyed by the Persians. 1t was
rebuilt in three parts, and afterward
enlarged.
That edifice also suffered injury, and
the Crusaders built this one about 500
years ago. Additions have since been
made to it. In it's last form it is about
100 years old.
There are some forty parts OF the
building, chapels and affairs and the
like, but the chief part is, of course,
the sepulcher.
This is entered by steps downward,
and is a room about six feet square,
Fifteen silver lamps hang from the
low ceiling. or these the Greeks own
five, the Latins five, the Armenians
four and the Copts one. Masses are
said here at short intervals. The
priests at the different affairs almost
elbow one another. The sounds make
babel.
THE SORRY PART OF IT.
The bitterness in the hearts of the
rival sects has so often caused quarrels
and murders in this church that the
Turkish soldiers, who are Moslems,
are always present near the door,
lounging, drinking coffee and chatting,
yet ready at any sign of conflict to ar
rest the antagonists. The bells in the
two great domes are Greek in one
and Latin in the other, and they are
always rung in discord, so that the
Moslcms all over the city are disturbed
by them, and speak in contempt of the
Christians.
The court before the church is a
very busy place ut Easter, for pilgrims
are buying candles to place on the al
tars and relics to take home, and there
seems to he no other place in the world
where so many nations meet.
The Latins, the Armcnians and the
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1905-04-20

Egyptians do not have any services
very different from those held mt their
homes.
The Greek Christians have a strange
rite. called the Holy Fire. Their
Easter comes later, as | lave already
explained, and this is fortunate, for
they crowd the church to Sutf0cation,
and stay all night in it, The reason
for this is that, when the fire comes,
it will be made to light torches, and
these will be carried by runners to all
the villages: the one who comes first
to his village will have a prize. Thus
it is Il contest of athletes to get nearest
and start first. There are chanting
ana yelling and pushing and falling
and fainting and every kind of vio-
lence.
CARRYING THE -HOLY FIRE"
At one point stands Il priest to catch
the fire through an opening from the
tomb. Hundreds of bare arms thrust
forward candles. At last flame ap-
pears inside the hole; soon it spreads
from hand to hand, and all rush, shout
ing. to get away. Another custom-and
it repeats an act done at the first Lords
Supports the washing of feet. A row
of persons representing the disciples is
formed, and one by one they seat them
selves in a chair, and hold their feet
over large silver jar filled with water
Sprinkled with rose leaves. The Of
ticiating primate kneels in front upon
a red velvet cushion, washes the feet,
dries them with a towel and kisses
them.
Whether or not this church stands on
the spot of our Lords burial depends
on its position as to the old city wall.
If it was outside it may be the true
place, which was without the gate"
Some bits of wall have been uncovered,
but not enough to make the line plain.
| The church is in a crowded part of
! the city, and no extended digging
would be allowed there. The eXcava-
| tons which are carried on are mostly
in the country. No doubt we shall
know much more in due time than we
do now.

Jews and MOSlcmS are not at strife

eastern part of the Roman Empire,

Then there are LatinS, who are of all

How Drunkards Are Treated in Persia.

Persian drunkards are blacklisted,
and to be blacklisted means that the
person so enrolled cannot visit the
bazaars to buy things except at GER
tain hours, and then only under police
supervision. He cannot visit any place
of Vublc amusement, and even when
at prayers in the mosque he must hold
himself aloof from his most respecta-
BILE neighbors. If, after being black
listed, he drinks again and is found
under the influence. he gets eighty
lashes on the soles of his feet.-Pres'

EASTER CAROLS.

Ring clear, o bells, your message
Throughout all nature thrills;
1t all things living touches,
As when from Judah's hills
There rose the light triumphant
Der death and mortal fears.
And dawned that first great Easter
The Easter of the years.
Ring sweet, O bells, your lesson
Unto each heart to-day;
That all before the Master
May but lfe's lilies lay;
Ring soft-ring low; your Ginning
May bridge some past--its tears,
For those, pcrchance, who mourneth
Some Easter in the years.
Again, O bells of Easter,
Ring out in thrilling peal,
That we, through all our pulses
The newborn glory feel
Gods living, loving presence,
As each new spring appears
In all that hreathes around us,
Throughout the march of years.

Easter instructs us to live for the
spirit. The imperishable element in
man is the spiritual. Jesus nourished
His daily life with prayer. He lived
for the spiritual side of life; for min
istry, duty, love; for the things that
