The Commissioners say the measure
provides the same salaries paid regular
members Of the police force. which means
an increase of 1920 in the amount charged
against street railways. Aside from this,
the board says, there is a material diff
ference in the nature OF the service, and
also in qualifications.

Final Impressions.

PeopIe who have said they did not care
to see the Passion Play" have usually
based this feeling upon the discomfort of
the STAY. or the fear that their religious
sensitiyeness would be offended. The trip IS
beautiful. either from Munich past the
Ravarian lakes or across by wagon from
Innsbruck or Fussen. The villagers are
used to taking care of summer visitors
every wear, and their charges are really
not exorbitant, although the methcds Oh
some travel bureaus result in this appear
ing so People who do not speak German
are perfectly we'll provided for. AS to the
other reason I believe that person IA
miIiar with the Scriptures who goes as
pilgrim, not as pleasure seeker. VIII
And the deepest satisfaction and enjoy
ment. For eight hours the attention is
fixed so closely on the stage that only
the most remarkable occurrence can with
draw it. Only Judas brought even
smile to any face, and that was on TIE
part Of some one who could not under
stand the reason for the erratic move
speaks almost nothing except the
recorded words Of the eyangelists. What
was undertaken as a religious vow nearly
three hundred years ago is now soul
ministry to those who love their Lord
and wish to picture to themselves more
closely His way among men.

Passion.

Through many years of practice the
OberammerSauers have learned just how
far the heart-rending crucifixion can be
represented. Their mechanical devices are
now so complete that when the body Of
Christ has been fastened to the cross this
is put quietly in it's place between the
two other crosses upon which the male
factors are hanging when the curtain
rises; the seven words from the cross are
spoken as the occasion for each arises:
and then the motion Of the body ceases.
Immediately upon the CONFUSION of ma
ture. and the report that the veil of the
temple has been rent, the malevolence of
the priests is even more conspicuous than
the brutality Of the soldiers. The rough
way in which the two bodies are taken
down contrasts keenly with the reverence
and love with which Nicodemus and John,
Joseph of Arimathea and Lazarus wrap
and lower the body of their Master.
These last rites seemed really the end of
the passion story, but there follow, of
course, the resurrection scene and a final
tableau when Christ is seen glorihed in
the heavens.

ceeding act. For example, the selling of
Joseph precedes the treacherous bargain
of Judas. and the mama in the wilder
ness comes before the breaking Of bread
in the last supper.
Then back Of the stage one heard a
sound of voices, and far in the rear peo-
pie were seen. Finally, winding in and
out through the streets of Jerusalem.
came the triumphal procession, waving
palm branches and shouting 'Hosanna'
Children, men and women friends and
followers, and in their midst the figure
of Christus. This was Anton Lang, the
potter of Oberamhergau, but it was al
most impossible to assure the lima gina-

the reverent eyes and quiet, direct move

than mild in most of the scenes. but
particularly here where he accused the
merchants of desecrating Gods house
and the high priests of allowing it. He

A Missionary Christian.

The late DR.. A. ]. Gordon wrote in his
last pastoral letter TO his Boston church
this message:
Forget not that your first and princi-
pal business as disciple of Christ Is to
give the gospel TO those who have it not.
He who is not a missionary Christian
will be a missing Christian when the
great day comes. II you cannot
go i'm person. inquire diligently what
erty in the interests of foreign missions
how much you owe the heather. because
of what you owe to Christ for redeeming
you with His precious blood. 1 warn you
that 1t will go hard with you when your
Lord comes to reckon with you IL He
finds your wealth invested in superfuous
luxuries or boarded up in needless &C
cumulations instead of being sacredly de-
voted to giving the gospel to the lost"
But gifts of workers and of money to
support them will be useless unless there
is also earnest prayer on the part both
of missionaries in the field and the MEM
bers of the church at home for God
blessing on the work. The history OF mis-
sions has shown that the tide or pros
perity in the work GIBBS and flows in di-
rect proportion to the spirit Of prayer or
the lack of it. God has promised to hear
and answer prayer made for things agree
agreeable to His will than the salvation
OF those for whom Christ died?

among the home churches. On one OF the
earliest of these tours of American
cities he was urged to become pastor
OF a wealthy church at a large salary.
He declined. Another call was extended
TO him. This. too. was declined. Later
he was asked to become professor in

his life must be given to the foreign
mission work so long as God wanted
him there. Perhaps the most attractive

Revenge Of the Priests.

This scene gives the base Of the action Of
the whole play for the furious merchants
seek revenge from the high priests, who
set In action the whole machinery of de-
struction. One merchant offers to dis
cover Christ's whereabouts. and the
council urges him to hasten in order to
accomplish the matter before the Pass
over. This council is a gorgeous body
The high priests. Annas and Caiaphas,
sit on a platform In the midst: before
them are the scribes and Pharisees. The
Annas OF 1910. was the Caiaphas Of 1900
for as a man grows older his part is
usually altered to one better suited to
his years. Annas was inimitable. At
first merely jealous for the law of Noses
which he represents, he reveals his own
bitter animus little by little from this mo-
ment on until after the crucifixion
when he fears lest Christ may come to
life. Sadok, another priest, was the old
est participant, and his whole seventy
four years were betrayed in the trembling
voice with which he vehementIy pressed
the claim against the false Messias This

Begin at Yourself.

The best way to accomplish anything
is to begin at home and practice on one s
self Am a soldier of the CROSSE" cried
Isaac Watts in his hymn, and he well
knew that only soldier can make SOL
diers of others. Now let each one ask
himself: Have I volunteered i'm the
Lords service?' And this volunteering
is a real thing! 1t carries obligations
and means giving UP ones own will.
One cannot do as he pleases when he
enlists in the Lords army. He belongs
no longer to himself. but to Christ. This
is true in all things of daily life. If
take a position of any kind / at once
surrender my liberty; l am bound to fol-
low the orders or wishes of him in whose
service am to work. If 1 go to a hotel
1 am bound to obey the rules of that
hotel. If / visit at a house 1 am ex-
pected to be a gentleman and follow the
customs of the house so far as I con-
scientiously can. But the higher the
service the less L feel the obligation and
the richer the privilege becomes. So i'm

the children of God" But i am to know
that just thing is my rule of life;
every thing else must bow to il: my pleas

nearer to Christ
There are many ways of doing this. l

may be q Sunday school teacher or
visitor to the sick and the poor: may
be a missionary in my own family or
among my associates. But always this
one meaning of my life is uppermost and
controls all else. All, when you and L
can come plainly and honestly to that
when we cease lodging the real issue by
questioning the ACCESSIBILITY of this or the
ease of that or the way in which people
may criticise us or judge US. and simply

Become a missionary; give your oath or

manner you have never known before.
