great feryor and devotion The Easter
kiss Is well known incident of these
celebrations. curious story is told of
Car Nicholas II and the Easter kiss On
leaving his apartments one Easter morn
ing he kissed the guard outside with the
usual salutation. Christ is risen'' to
winch the response is, He is truly risen
But the man answered, coolly. He is not
risen The emperor was aghast, and
shouted, furiously, He is risen!'' But
the man, with the utmost composure, re-
peated his denial. He was a Jew, ONLY

Russia, as the premier Greek orthodox
nation, is very much in evidence in the
Holy Land, and of late years has as
serted her supremacy in the Christendom
of the orient in many ways-not only by
generous contributions in magnificent
buildings and financially, but also po-
htcally in Strengthening the position of
the Greek Church. Especially at Easter
1t is interesting to observe the contrasts
which take on certain political hue be-
tween L-atins. Greeks. Protestants and
Gregorians (Armenians)
Jerusalem is naturally full of churches
monasteries, hospices and hospitals of the
various creeds, and every one of them
at Easter brings out its own peculiar reli-
sious individuality. The Latin Church,
for instance. whose esta blishment in Je-
rusalem harks back to Godfrey de Bouil-
lon and his crusaders. has d number of
oriental churches united to the Roman
Catholic Church. Thus there are the
United Greeks. the United Syrians the
United HISTORIANS, the United Armenians
the Maronites, all of whom celebrate
mass in their own tongue and SO add
in their ceremonies and garb a pictur-
esque distinctiveness to the whole.
Then there are the Copts, the Arm.-
mans, the Syrian Jacobites, the Nesto-
rians. the Abyssinians. besides Greeks
and ProtestantS. The relative standing
of the various churches is in a measure
expressed in the way they share the fif-
teen lamps that burn in the Holy Sepui-
cher Chapel, which has in the center the
stone that was rolled away. from Jesus
grave by the angels Five of these lamps
belong to the Latins, five TO the Greeks
four to the Armenians and one to the
Copts.

ed by the faithful to witness the enact
ment of the scene when Jesus washed the
feet of His disciples. The parts of Jesus,
John, Peter and Judas are each given TO
an ecclesiastic. and are read with fine
simplicity, though the story is told with
a certain freedom from gospel text.
At the end the patriarch washes the
feet of the twelve clerics. and, repeating

and death of our Lord and of His descent
to hell. when the light of the world was
taken away for brief space. Then, on
saturday the lights are rekiudied-by a
supernatural agency, the tradition
goes. As the church dienItaries pray in
the chapel of the sepulcher. draped in
deep mourning. the stone gathers a pc
culiar moisture which rises as a vapor

Why the supposed burial place of the
great Hebrew leader should be a place
of veneration among Mohammedans
might seem an anomaly. 1t is explained
by the origin of the Mohammedan re-
ligion, which owes a great deal of its
fundamental teachings to Judaism and
also to Christianity, both Moses and
Jesus occupying conspicuous places in
Mohammedan lore.
AS the Arabs claim common descent
with the Jews from Abraham, the Holy
Land holds traditions equally sacred
to them. Jerusalem is second only to
Mecca In sanctity because it contains,
according to tradition. the rock of Abra-
hams sacrifice, over which the famed
Mosque of Omar is built. The Arab pill

but by the variegated native population.
The background here is not Jewish and

best efforts toward the enforcement
of the provisions of the proclamation;

evening, playing cards was the amuse-

cleared and dancing enjoyed. A huge
fire burning in the fire, place made
the affair a specially attractive one
and many of the guests enjoyed pop

evening, their handsome Victrola fur

entire affair was one long to be re-

Already the signs that betoken the
approach of the one big day of the
year, Christmas, are apparent in the
Phelps-Dodge Mercantile Co. store.
During all of this week the employees
have been busy getting ready for the
usual big display of Christmas stock
and the work will continue as the
late purchases continue to arrive.
Choice gifts of every description for
man, woman or child are being
shown with a better variety and
moderate prices than ever before. The
general public is extended a cordial
invitation by the management to visit
the display and see the many attrac
tive offers.

steps near the post office entrance
and building new stairs near the ice
plant has given much additional room.

be given box seats at some other
