To pass from these themes to those OF
the resurrection and directly following

under lowering skies and awaken upon
the dawn of a radiant springtime morning
of sublime amazements and rejoicngs
The miraculous event which Easter

The next happening of the first Easter
day to have inspired many of the great
pointers was the scene in the garden
when Mary Magdalene, after mistaking
Jesus for the gardener, approached Him
and received the admonition: Touch me
not. tNoli Me Tangere.) For | am not
yet assembled to my Father" This scene
has been represented by several Of the
masters under the title ''Noh Me Tan

these Is the painting OF Correggio. which
hangs in the Prado Gallery. Madrid He

important part in the Savior's life is
much changed. 1t was down it's slope
that Jesus rode on His triumphal en-
try into Jerusalem. Here He was
er and meditation. and it was in the
garden Of Gethsemane nearby that He
was arrested and taken before PLATE.
Every one is satisfied that the Ecce
Homo gate marks the spot where
Christ was turned over to the multi
tude by Pontius PLATE with the words
Behold the man"
While there has been much discussion
concerning it. the new Golgotha is grad
ually becoming the accepted site of the
cruciixiOn. Maj Gen. Wilson, who iden-
titled the spot has long been considered
the greatest authority upon the antiqui-
ties of the Holy city.
The Bible gives little indication of the
direction of Golgotha with relation to the
city and this fact has been the chief
cause of doubt concerning the locality.
During the first century the church paid
no attention to the site of the cruel
fiXion because the early believers were
.Juda col Christians and by the early Mo-
sale law forbidden to revere the place of
the dead.
Gen. Wilson asserts that those who
tablished the first church on the holy
site had no reasonable evidence that it
was the right one.
The location of the Golgotha of Maj.
Wilson is at "a point exactly north Of the
altar of the temple the eastern slope
of a portion OF Mount Moriah. 1t is a
strange fact that eminence in the hill
at this place bears a striking likeness to
human SKULL Golgotha translated
means Skull hill
What must be the feelings of the vast
number of persons who visit Jerusalem
at this season. With what sensations OF
awe will they walk along the Via Dolo-
rosa, remembering, as they must, the
tragic procession that passed that way
on the way to Golgotha nearly two
thousand years ago which was to give
birth to a new world-conquering religion.
So discerning has been the eye of
science that it is now possible to walk
in almost the same footsteps as the
Savior The stone in which His tired
limbs were fastened, the places where he
fell to earth from weakness, the spot
where he was reviled by the multitude
and the exact locality where for drink
He was asked TO cool His fevered lips
with vinegar and gall have all been
found.

Chickering's of doubters have, in large
measure, been silenced. and 1t IS q gen
orally accepted fact that most OF the
sacred spots where the tortured savior
spent his last months have been authen-
tically discovered.
The very points along the Via Doiofosa
that marked Chrst's labored journey 10

governor. PLATE, has been unearthed, the
stocks that incased His sacred feet nave
been found and the silent tomb, the real
holy sepulchre from which he arose from
the dead, has been located.

These representations, more hastily de-
scri5ed. are not among the masterpieces
of their painters, are they surrounded
by incidents OF particular interest.
One of the most beautiful of the great
modern paintings dedicated to the first

Bouguereau, the modern French his
torical and portrait painter, has also used
the same theme. He represents the three
Maries gathered a the door of the tomb
where they find the huge stone rolled
away and the interior of the sepulchre
glowing with heavenly light. In another
painting, Easter Morn, Bouguereau

Mrs. Mary Harris ArmOr.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, who
speaks in Grants Pass on October 10,
is one of the most eloquent women
on the platform today. Regarding
her the Nashville Tennesseean says
Probably not since the days of
Frances E. Willard, the great found
er of the worlds w. c. T. T., has
there appeared a woman of such in
born eloquence and marvellous power
to sway the multitudes with the
mighty two-edged sword of truth as
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, president
OF the Georgia Woman's Christian
Temperance union. Her burning sa-
tire and sparkling wit, her mighty
grasp of truth, her perfectly natural
and unaffected way of presenting it,
born of desperate earnestness, her
magnetic personality, and above all
her absolute faith in God, make her
one of the most powerful factors on
the American continent in the over
throw of the liquor traffic" Nash

LADIES WORKING LIKE
TROJANS FOR THE FAIR

Grants Pass is to have a Carnegie
library The Ladies' auxiliary OF the
Commercial club has, with It's usual
enthusiasm, entered upon cam
palgn to that end, and that they will
secure 1t goes without saying.
Monday petition for an amend
ment of the city charter permitting
the levying of library tax will be in
circulation. The present charter
does not provide for the imposing OF
such a tax. The amendment Will be
voted upon at the regular city cleo
tlon in December. It would have
been presented to the public sooner
at a special election had it not been
for the fact that the city dads re-
quired payment in advance Of the
cost of calling a special election.
The Ladies' auxiliary Of the Com
mercial club of which Miss Susie
Barnard Is president, has secured
from Andrew Carnegie q promise Of
10000 for the construction Of a
building. Seven years ago the
womans club took up the matter
and secured Mr.. Carnegie's promise
and the matter was presented to the
people of the city at a special cleo
tion and IT was decided to raise the
money to maintain the library. The
city council refused however, to
carry out the mandate Of the people
Andy Persuaded Again.
This spring the Ladies' auxiliary
again took the matter up, with the
result that Mr., Carnegie was per-
suaded to renew his promise Of a
buildings. M. J. Anderson will cir
culate the petition and secure the
necessary signatures.
The $4,000 to be given by Car
negie Is to be devoted entirely to the
building The ladies' have plans for
securing site later on. The first
thing to be accomplished Is the Sc
curing Of the amendment authorig-
ing the library tax. Without this
Carnegie refuses to donate the
money.
The amendment provides for the
appointment Of a commission of
five members. which will have charge
of the library; gives the commission
authority to hire librarians and
other help; authorizes the city coun-
ell to levy special library tax,
which shall not be less than five
mills on the dollar, and that in no
event shall the revenue to be derived
from this tax be less than $500.
The library committee of the
Ladies' auxiliary of the Commercial
club which has charge of the cam
paign to secure the library consists
OF Mesdames w. c, Hale, f. w. Van
Dyke, George c. Sabin. The ladies
are assisted by the following COM
mittee from the Commercial club:
Messrs Robert G. Smith, George II.

FAMOUS LEDGE AFTER
LONG SEARCH YIELDS UP

After seven years Of persistent ef-
fort on the part of J. NJ. DePue and
five years seeking by T. NJ. Wilson,
they have been rewarded by the dis
covery Of the "Old Spot" ledge on
Hamlln gulch, four miles southeast
Of town.
This ledge has aroused the cupid
ity Of many prospectors and fortunes
have been spent in the search for it.
This was because of the large num-
ber Of rich pieces Of float that have
been found in the gulch. So far, up
to this time, the search has been un-
availing, for the reason that there
have been many landslides, making
deep prospecting difficult.
Mr.. Wilson states that over -four
hundred feet Of tunneling has been
done in prospecting for the ledge
The lucky discoverers thought they
we're surely on the right track two
years ago, but until recently they
have not reach the real article.
While no assays have been made
as yet, It Is certain that the ore car
ries high values, both in gold ant
copper. The gentlemen will now
proceed with development work ant
will tunnel to expose as much of the
ledge as possible. Samples Of the
ore were left at the Courier office
The discovery Of this ledge which
has been sought for for the pas
forty years or more only goes tC
show what the future has in store fol
Grants Pass. It has been maintain
cd by many well informed mining
men that the Grants Pass mining
country when It is thoroughly pros
pected, will have some Of the bes
