formance of solemn VOW made by
their ancestors 300 years ago. Some
poor fellow had brought the plague
to the WALLACE and the villagers in
fear betook themselves to their
church and vowed that If the plague
should pass from their midst they
would devote themselves to a rep
resentation of the Passion. Only
once has the tenth year passed un-
honored; that was in 1870, when the
FVhnco-Prussian war drew away the
male players, but the play was only
delayed till the next year
The play begins in May and runs
till the end of September. The per-
formance commences at 800 a. m.
and lasts till 800 p. M, with an
Interval Of two hours, and the wealth
er is not allowed to interfere in any
way. 1t makes no difference as to
the costumes getting wet, as there
are two complete sets for each
player.
The Passion play sets forth the
life, death and resurrection of
Christ. There are II acts and each
of the acts is preceded by tableau.

the events of the act. The II acts
are divided into three parts. The
first. from the entrance of Christ
into Jerusalem until the hour of his
being taken prisoner on the Mount
of Olives; the second, from then to
his condemnation by PLATE; and the
third, from the condemnation until
the glorious resurrection of the
Lord; the whole ending with tab
leau showing the ascension.

the thunder and lightning of nature

than the art of the stage; it is the
convincing expression of a great
and simple faith.
There are 700 persons in the play,
Of whom 270 are children. The
speaking parts are given out by the
officials of the community and there
is no rivalry or Jealousy shown
There has always been Lang in
the play, and this year Anton Lang
