that was before the populace to the point of
regarding them as something almost sacred. Now no
one would think of putting a finger on their smooth

For more generations than anybody knows the ad

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
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 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.

Sabbath is a day of worship. No
other day In the year attracts so
many people as Easter Sabbath.
People whos seldom ever darken the
doors of a church are present in
great multitudes on the Easter day.

Sabbath day For this especially
God set the Sabbath aside. And to
worship him we must rest from
worldly employments and pleasures.

villagers enact the
greatest drama in the world, in per-
Torrance of a solemn VOW made bv
their ancestors 300 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

There are 700 persons in the play
OF whom 270 are children. The
speaking parts are given out by the
officials of the community and there
Is no rivalry or jealousy shown.
There has always been a Lang in
the play, and this year Anton Lang
will repeat his Christus of 1900. It
is the highest ambition of the Ober-

acting the Saviour is more than any
thing you can offer him, and next to
that the part Of one Of the disciples.
