Mission Notes From Asia.
The most remarkable event in
Asiatic annals for many years was
the revolution that changed Turkey
into a constitutional monarchy. Tur-
key, from one OF the most difficult
mission fields in the world, has now
become one OF the easiest and most
promising.
This is written before the worlds
Christian Endeayor Convention in In
dia, but undoubtedly that event will
prove to be OF great missionary value.
and it should be reviewed in this
meeting.
China's formal assumption of au-
thority over the Grand Lama of Ii
bet will tend toward the opening OF
that hermit nation to the missionary.
Already the mission forces that have
so long enCamped on the frontier are
pressing inward.
The death of the empress and em-
perOr OF China and a change OF rulers
did not change the attitude of the
government toward western ideas and
methors. At this writing the program
Of the wonderful revolution is being
carried out. BY the end OF 1909 the
provincial assemblies, % in all with
membership of 1877. will be estab-
hshed. The national parliament will
soon follow.

WINE iaSSlon play of Oberammcr-
gau has become perhaps the
Il hsOst famous single dramatic
event on earth. 1t is certainly
the most unique. Acted by peasants,
the chief of whose required qualifica-
tons are religious devotion and purity
OF life. Its dramatic force Is equal to
that seen upon any stage, albeit occu-
pied by the worlds greatest actors.
The Passion play is presented every
ten years. the theory being that it shall
not he cheapened by frequency. ODER
ammergau is a little Bavarian village
surrounded by mountains. 1t has not
been mOdernized except In the neces-
Sary features of sewerage and SANTA
ton. In all other respects 1t Is now
ms 1t has been for centuries. The peas
ants who present the play are wood
carvers and farmers. The financial re-
turn given to each actor is most mod
est. scarcely sufficient to pay for the
actual time given the play. Yet the
chief ambition of each of these simple
villagers Is to be an actor in the pas
sionspiel."
1t was in 1888 that the plague swept
Oberammergau, the harvest Of death
claiming onefourth of the population
The survivors met and resolved that
every ten years thereafter they would
present the sacred scenes Of the Pas
sion. after which the plague was mi
raculously stayed. That is the story,
and back Of 1t is one even more touch
ing and beautiful. One peasant had
lost his wife and children and in the
detection that followed dreamed that

he saw the Saviour. Then the outline
of the cross appeared and gentle
voice spoke to him: "My son, are you
weary? Are you heavy hearted? Do
. you weep? Remember my agony. l
have endured more than thou"
Rushing TO the church, the peasant
rang the bell until all the villagers had
gathered, whereupon he recounted his
dream and proposed that the people
enact the sorrows Of the Master on
every tenth year. The VOW was taken
then and there, and the plague speedi-
ly ended. All this Is little more than
legend The one fact that is not leg
end is that the Passion play has been
enacted every tenth year through the
centuries that followed, the only ex-
ception being once when nearly all the
ablebodicd men in the village We're
absent in the wars.
Play Lasts All Day.
The play follows the Biblical nara
tive with great fidelity and has been
adapted from time to time by the vii
lage priests. Every act is preceded
by tableau, usually taken from the
Old Testament. There is also a cho-
rus, the songs OF which explain the
tableaux. The play lasts all day, with
two hours interirission ut noon. 1t is
scheduled to be presented twenty-nine
times during the season. which runs
from May till September In case the
spectators on any given day are more
than can be accommodated In the
theater, which seats over 1000. the
play is repeated on the following day
As this is liable to happen frequently
the number of performances may
reach to at least fifty during the sum-
mer. Indications are that greater
crowds will visit Oberammergau than
ever before, about three-fourths of
them being Americans. The dates Sc
lected are as follows: May 16, 90. %,
June 5. -, 10, "a, %, July 8. 10, II, 20,

recent years it has been rooted over

One of the most enjoyable, as

has transpired in Cochrane for
many years, was the ice cream

Jap lanterns dangling from the
branches of the magnificent trees
which abound in profusion, pre-
sented a most pleasing picture to
the eye.
Seated here and there could be
seen boys and girls with their
parents, young men with their
wives, and young ladies with their
sweethearts, being served with
refreshments, by a bevy of pref
ty girls, from which quite a neat
sum was realized.
The presence of quite a number
of young folks from neighboring
towns, added to the enjoyment of
the occasion.

opportunity that will tend to add
to the pleasure of the young peo-
pie, and never lets an opportuni-
