THE PASSION PLAY.
Rev. Kokendoffer Gives a Force.
full Talk.

Rev. A. W. Kokendoffer of
Sedalia was greeted by an i'm
mense audience at the Mexico
Christian church last Thursday
night when he gave a description
of the Passion Play. Mr.. Koken-
doffer had just returned from
Europe and he witnessed the play
at Oberammergua only a fey
weeks ago. Parts Of the play de-
.picted were very pathetic al |
brought different ones in the au-
dience to tears.
At the opening of the lecture
the choir rendered a number OF
appropriate selections and Miss
Dora Sellard gave a beautiful
violin solo, accompanied on the
piano by her sister, Miss Floy
Sellard.
Mr.. Kokendoffer was formerly
pastor of the Mexico Christian
church, h,-most popular with those
in the church or out of the church,
and Of course all were glad to sec
him upon this occasion.
He told of the origin of the
Passion Play. 1t is rendere
every ten years, and Mr.. Koken-
dofer believes that the villagers
of Oberammergau will keep the
play up thru the coming decades
and centuries. The play is rem
dered by folk devoutly Catholic
yet there is but one incident in
the entire performance that any
Protestant could possibly take
any. exception to, and that is bHt
of trihing Importance.
There is first a tableau given
always from the Old Testament.
and that is followed by an Incl
dent in the last days of Jesus.
There are Gas persons who take
part in the play.
A number of the incidents are
so realistic that you almost I'M
agine that Christ is present-yOn
can almost see him in his last sad
and most trying hours. Jesus
parting with his mother and the
incident of the Last Supper come
in this role.
The people of Oberammergad
are a GOd-fearing people. They
do not give this play for money
getting-it is a vow their fore
fathers entered into years and
years ago. They are a hospitable
people, but somewhat quaint III
manners. Of the Gas persons who
take part in the play no one must
have a taint on his character. To
put it Scripturally, he must be a
lamb without blemish, pure in
every walk of his life.
The play has many lessons for
the Christian, and for all people,
for that matter.

He and the Message Started the
Movement for the Mexico
Interurban.

Robson, who was connected with
the great East Side interurban
system, across from st. Louis, is
making good in his new position,
that Of general manager of the
Mexico, Santa Fe & Perry Trac-
tiOn Co., which promises to girdle
North Central Missouri with a net
work Of electric lines. Mr.. Rob
ison is the only practical railroad
man on the Board of Directors.
and his sixten years expericlc.
ON the East Side is standing him
in good stead.
Mr.. Robson conceived the idea
of building. electric lines thru this
territory in 1906 and, after secur-
ing leave of absence, came down
to Mexico and talked it over with
several capitalists and other men
of affairs. They took to the idea
and the Mexico, Santa Fe & Perry
Traction Co. was formed.
The panic came shortly after
ward and negotiations were tenn
porarily stopped. Two years ago.
when the financial world resumed
its normal state, the project was
taken up again and has been push.
ed vigorously since that time with
big success.
The contract for building the
line to Santa Fe and Perry, a dis
tance of twenty-five miles, was leg
and the Fruin-Bambrick Cor
struction Company of st. Louis
which has the job, will be busy fO"
the next twelve months. The rail
road company just closed con-
tract with the Heinz-YOung Con-
struction Company Of st. Louis to
finish the Hereford branch. This
line is twenty miles long.
The money being furnished by
the people of Mexico and farmers
along the proposed route. Unless
hindered in some way, the con-
struction company expects to have
the line completed to Hereford by
early spring. Bonds to the amount
of $4,000 per mile have been issu-
ed, which have been bought by
farmers along the line and the
people of Mexico. $4,000 being
paid every time a mile is COM
pleted.
The Heinz-YOung Company has
furnished bond of $150,000 for
fulfllment of its contract. 1t also
includes the building Of the Full
ton and Columbia extension, it
the railroad company decides to
extend to these cities.
On the latter point there is no
doubt. 1t is almost a foregone con-
clusion that the Fulton extension
will be taken up next and the elec-
trio railway projectors say they
expect to come to Fulton within
the next week or ten days to push
the matter.
A bonus of $4,000 per mile will
be required for the 13 miles from
Hereford to Fulton, and there is
but little doubt that the money will
be raised. Fulton was never in a
more condescending mood and
stands ready to join hands with
the electric railway to cooperate
