 It is often noted that in the throngs at the Catholic and Episcopal churches, particularly on Maundy Thursday and on Good Friday are a number of people who are not members of these par ishes. but who are drawn thither dur ing these hours when the shadow of the cross is lengthening upon the atmosphere created by these silent throngs, pausing for brief hour with In shadowy reeesses, drawing apart from the world to weep over the Pas sion of the ages, to mediate with tears of joy In the heart upon the thoughts of the resurrection.
 Millions throughout Christendom arc bearing witness of this belief. In ancient cath edrals and before unlighted altars this Passion of our Lord brings tn housands of worshipers to venerated spots during Holy Week. To the de- vout. this period contains the epitome of their faith. And to others, less be- lieving, they, too, must feel the rapture of prayer in this ineffable att mosphere of devotion.
