This undertaking needs no an.
prevail from me, since 1t means
Rlacing before the public In vivid
tNnhion scenes from the history OF
tie Passion OF Our Blessed Lord
Gnch representation were the Mid
ne Age means OF instructinK the
people in the life Of Christ. The
pnople Of our country need more
ehen ever to be reminded Of the
NIDrld's Savior. and particularly OF
y1iB infinite love for man, evidenced
