The Christian Easter commentaries the most vital
fact in Christianity these days it has been made an
occasion for the display Of flowers and millinery but
underlying all else is the basal fact that Easter COM

To them Easter is day of cheer hope and JOY. The
basal fact of Christianity gives foundation and force to
their faith and their hope More joy bells will peal forth
notes of victory to-day, glorious anthems and
will break forth from human hearts and voices
more tongues will speak and sing the praises Of
humantys Christ than time since the angels said
to the affrighted at the gateway of the tomb
"He is not here he is rsen as he said; come the
place where they laid him."
The Christian faith is too deeply rooted in the heart
of humanity to die away and the annual Easter
celebrations serve to strengthen that faith.

remained in the tomb, his birth
would have been forgotten long ago,
and Christmas greetings and joys
would not exist Had he remained
under the power of death, his death
on Calvary would have been consid-
cred nothing more than that Of a
mere man, like that Of Socrates and
others, who have given their lives In
attempts to uplift mankind against
the forces that make for evil and
that destroy the good. But when he
burst the bands of death asunder, he
gave the browning proof OF his
Deity, and added to Bethlehem and
Calvary a significance and luster
that will never grow dim. There is
little wonder, therefore, that the
Christian world has laid especial en-
phasis uopn the day upon which the
Saviour arose.
If we take Easter Sabbath as an
illustration Of how we should OBJ
serve every Sabbath Of the year, It
may be most profitable to us. Easter
Sabbath is a day of worship. NO
other day in the year attracts so
many people as Easter Sabbath.
People who seldom ever darken the
doors of a church are present In
great multitudes on the Easter day.
But God should be worshiped every
Sabbath day. For this especially
God set the Sabbath aside. And to
worship him we must rest from
worldly employments and pleasures.

EASTER CEREMONIAL IN VENICE

OURlSTS have been rushing from all
parts of Europe to Venice in the last
month to get there in time for the Easter
celebration.

city of canals and venerable architecture
make special efforts to reach there at the

greatest drama in the world, in per-
Torrance of a solemn VOW made by
their ancestors 500 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
Franco-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
romance commences at 500 a. m.
and lasts till 500 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
hre two complete sets for each
player.
The Passion play sets forth the
HE, death and resurrection of
Christ. There are II acts and each
OF the acts is preceded by a tabIeau.
illustrative Of an Old Testament in
cident, and pointing prophetically to
the events of the act. The II acts
are divided into three parts. The
hrst, 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.
Acted, as 1t is, on a huge stage,
with the background of the noun
tains, with the climax at the myste-
rious time of evenfall, perhaps with
the thunder and lightning of nature
