A Letter From the County Of Harlan,


HARLAN, KY, March 4. Dear Home
Paper-we note that we are to have
a new editor. Well, we bid him wei
come. hoping that he will continue to
make our good Lincoln county paper as
good or better On II could bel than ev-
er. The people at home never appre.
ciate their home paper as they should
until they are away a while and the
homefolks don't write as often as we
would like for them TO do. So when a
paper like the l. J. comes to US twice a
week we are able to keep tab on things
back ut our old home.
Wonder what Editor Walton is going

is read by US with much delight"

words concerning our whereabouts and

town Of Harlan. in the parsonage. We
have a good church edihce, besides two
in the country and others that will be
dedicated in the near future. We have
three other churches in town. viz: Bap-
fist. Presbyterian and Christian. The
Presbyterians have an academy here.
Good work Is being accomplished by
them. The town Of Harlan is at the
head Of the Cumberland river. three
forks uniting here.
The thing Of greatest interest TO the
people OF Harlan county at present
seems TO be new railroad which the
l.. & N. is having constructed up the
river near Pineville. Rapid progress is
being made and within a few months
we can ride down along the Cumber-
land on the cars and get on the main
line ut wasioto or Pineville. instead Of
going by way Of Hagan, Va. TO get to
other parts in our State. Wishing our
new editor success. Very Truly,

EASTER

The term easter" is supposed to have been derived
from Ostera Eastre the goddess OF spring, anu '
decentralization Of the morning The feast OF this sou'
dess was celebrated by the ancient saxons In the spring
Of the year
Tb,s anc,ant paean festival was utilized by the early
Christian fathers and them turned into the Christian
observance now known throughout Chrstendom as bas
ter" There was q difference among the eastern ana
western churches to the date OF ths uu
in 325 A. d. the council of Nice declared that the Easter
celebration should be held the first Sunday following
the full moon on or after March 81. II the full moon
should happen on the Sabbath then Easter should fall
the following Sabbath.
The Christian Easter commentaries the most vital
fact In Christianity In these days 1t has been made an
occasion for the display of flowers and millinery but
underlying all else Is the basal fact that Easter COM

resurrection of the prophet of Galee not actual

an ignorant fanatic. he did rise as he predicted he
would then the seal of divine truth upon all he
taught and all he wrought
There are many who cannot believe in the miracle of
the resurrection For them the Easter celebration is all
foolishness But muttudes believe with unfaltering

To them Easter is a day Of cheer, hope and Joy The
basal fact OF Christianity gives foundation and force to
faith and their hope More Joy bells will peal forth
their notes Of victory to-day glorious anthems and
oratores will break forth from human hearts and voices
human tongues will speak and sing the praises Of
humanitys Christ than at time since the angels said
to the afrighted women at the gateway Of the tomb:
"He is not here, he is risen. he said; the
place where they laid him"
The Christian faith is deeply rooted In the heart
of humanity to die away and the annual Easter
celebrations serve to strengthen that faith.

villagers enact the
greatest drama in the world, in per-
i torrance of solemn VOW made by
Ehetr ancestors 800 years ago. Some
kpoor 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-P russian 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 anv
way. 1t makes no difference as to
the costumes getting wet, as there
are two complete sets for each
player.

illustrative of an Old Testament in
cldent, and pointing prophetically to
the events Of the act. The IL 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 a tab
ieau showing the ascension.

hthe thunder and lightning of nature
In the crucifxion scene, it is more
than the art of the stage; it is the
convincing expression of a great
and simple faith.
There are 700 persons in the play.
OF whom go 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, aLd this year Anton Lang

ammergau youth. The honor of en-
acting the Saviour is more than any
thing you can offer him, and next to
that the part of one of the disciples.
