PALM SUNDAY.

As stated in the Bossier Banner, to-
day is Palm Sunday, the Sunday of the
week which precedes Easter, and known
among those Christian churches which
observe Lent as Passion or Holy Week.
The day is observed in commentator
of the Savior's entrance into Jerusalem
on the occasion of His going up to the
city to observe the feast of the Pass
over. We are told that on this occasion
great multitude accompanied Him
through the streets singing hosannas
and casting branches in the way before
Him. From this latter fact comes the
name of the day and the custom of dec
Grating the churches with palms. Palm
Sunday is one Of the prominent days IN
the church calendar because it commem-
crates Christ's going up to Jerusalem
knowing that His time had come and
that He was then to efall into the hands
Of His prosecutors and pass through the
fearful ordeal, which took place five
DAYS later on Calvary, where by His suf-
fering and oblation of Himself He made
atonenlent for the sins of mankind.
