always served to visitors who may call. 1t Is
also custom to greet friends Easter day with

Another phase of the Russian celebration OF
Easter is to be found not In Russia but in Pales-
tine. Thousands upon thousands Of pilgrims.
from Russia, but also from other parts OF the
world as we'll, assemble on the banks of the river
Jordan Easter morning to battle In the same
waters in which Christ was baptized. AS the rays
Of the rising gid the tops Of the mountains oil
Moab a shout of "Hosanna bursts forth with one
accord from every throat followed by song. Bap
tismal robes are donned and the people rush into
the stream. The Russian government has erected
hospices for the pilgrims all along their line OF
march.
Easter in Jerusalem is great occasion. At the
Church Of the Holy Sepulchre the ceremony of the
descent Of the holy fire is celebrated on Saturday
All lights In the church extingushed at
certain hour and the worshipers stand praying
that the holy fire be sent down from heaven. Two
high priests go down Into the sacred sepulchre;
suddenly lights appear in the tomb, and other
priests hand down candles, which are returned to
them lighted. These candles are then carried to
the various churches in the city to light their al
tar candles, and. In fact, there have been in
stances wherein they have been carried all the
way back to Russia by pilgrims. On Palm Sunday
a great service is held in the church, at the con-
cusion of which the worshipers stream forth
shouting "Hosanna!" and waving their palm
branches.
The most remarkable feature of the Easter cele
bration in Jerusalem, however is the march Of the
pilgrims through the Via Doorosa Many thou
sands of persons from all over the world partici-
pate in this march, following the course taken by
Christ in his Journey to the cross Calvary.
Good Friday in Spain, especially in Seville. is
the day on which the various guilds and societies
and the monks array themselves In fantastic
garb and parade the streets mummers. They
bear before them huge standards, crosses, images
of the Virgin Mary and queer symbolic devices.
In other sections Of the country the parade takes
the form of carnival Of flowers; queens of the
carnival are chosen and they feted with all
the homage usually shown a real sovereign. Vast
sums. secured by popular subscription, are ex-
pended upon the parades The images of the vir-
gin are CARRIED in robes and jewels that cost
thousands Of dollars.
The beautiful service in St. Marks cathedral
is by far the chief feature of the Easter ceebra-
ton in Venice. The worshipers come to the
church in gondolas literally covered with flowers.
The entire scene Is a riot Of color and blooms. In
the afternoon every one bears supply of food to
the square in front of the cathedral and scatters
1t broadcast to the countless ocks of pigeons that
fy about the stately edihca.

Easter celebration. The day is day Of ven-
geance-not upon the living. but upon the num-
berless images of Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of
Christ. All over the country countless images or
Judas are made, generally in peasant clothes,
with ropes fastened around their necks. Amid
the boots and jeers of the crowd the images are
swung aloft and hung. AS they swing to and fro
stones and knives are hurled at them; out in the
provinces the figures are rddled with bullets I'M
til they literally cut to ribbons. Sometimes
an image is stuffed with cigarettes, connections
and trinkets strung aloft and exploded from a.
fuse running to the ground The contents are
scattered in the explosion, of course, and the
grownups as well the children scramble for
the flying gifts

afternoon Of Good Friday there is service called

to the seven words of Christ on the cross. All
women attending this service are dressed either
In mourning or In somber colors. In the evening,

With the ominous title, THE Dance
of Death musical play, by Will

Liverpool, and has received some
what measured praise from the crit
les. 1t was some time ago given AT
Covent Garden, but, being announced
as an opera, it failed of anything
more than a success d'estime.
The libretto. which was written by
Richard Batsk, is founded ON
Bartsch's novel. Little Blanchefleur. -
The action of the play takes place
during the French Revolution. In
the first act quarrel arises between
detachment of Swiss Guards and
party of French Chasseurs. This
indirectly, leads to the passion of a
Swiss officer, ThaIler, for Blanche

army, and to riots.

Great Stakes

In the plans for church unity there
are several of the churches that make
the condition general acceptance of
their CHIEF tenet. They be.1a tna a.
plans for unity by stating as accept
able to them the principles on which
all orthodox churches arc agreed, as
the Bible. the Apostle Greed. and
then offer their own peculiar tenet.
As Dr.. Ward puts it, "They begin
with infinity and end in a squirrel
hole" Assume for a moment that the
other millions of Christians in this
country agree to enter the squirrel
hole and imagine the triumph of that
church party that7has gained its point.
Imagine the scenes that would follow.
Imagine the twenty millions or more
of the Protestant Christians of Amer

and supporting churches and sending
the gospel throughout the earth, hosts

best in the nation and it's history.

But so long as any party insists on

follows inevitably.
In case any one party should sue

Protestant Christians were merged in

tenet triumphant, could there arise in
this land spiritual tyranny?
