S WIS crossed Palestine, riding over
those ancient byways that wind
through hill and dalo leading to the
holy city, we were deeply Impressed
by the pilgrims not only by their
numbers but by their very air of
patient eagerness as they trudged
tho dusty roads footsore und weary.
As wo ncarod tho city wo know that
Jerusalem wub already filled to over
flowing with these pilgrima, because
the roads leading into tho city were
lined on either sldo with crowds of
those pilgrims camping in the ditches,
with their pots and pans and bedding.
Although it was midday when wo arrived and
tho sun beat down mercilessly, many of those
tirod pilgrims had Bproad a small scaif or shawl
across sticks and wore sleeping in Its shade.
Still they continuod to flock into tho city, carry
ing palm branches In their hands, until nil the
highways round about Jerusalem wore lined
with these weary but dovout peoplo.
One could not help pitying them, while at the
samp timo admiring their wonderful devotion.
Thousands of them had walked hundreds of
miles through Russia and acrosB inhospitable
Turkey, being treated in tho latter place more
like dogs than human boings. If thero is one
thing above another a Turk hates, something
that arouses his Mohammedan Indignation, it is
tho sight of those Christians, devout members of
the Qrcok church, plodding afoot ncrosB the
sultan's domain with but one thought In vlow
to kiss tho tomb of ChrlBt, You can only
marvel at their religious zeal which enables, them
to withstand tho tortures of a long jcirney and
tho ubuso of tho cold-blooded TurkB.
Fortunatoly, our quarters had boon reserved
long in advanco, otherwise we; too, would have
been forced to camp among the pilgrims beside
tho highway. Ab theso pilgrims come In sight
of tho Holy Land they fall upon their knees, faci
ing tho Jerusalem thoy love, so slmplo and beau,
tlful is their faith.
Jerusalem's places of Interest during tho Easter
week nro many. Thoy are made memorable
through their association with Christ on and
prior to the day of his crucifixion. Wo first vis
ited tho Garden of Gothsomane, whore, so many
years ago, ho wont to pray, "Not my will, but
thlno." ThlB Is really a vory small plot of ground,
about twenty flvo foot square, containing many
flowor beds and some oxtremely old olive trees.
Always kept In good ordor, on tho occasion of
Eastei this hallowed garden Is made glorious
wlth beds of flowors in full bloom.
There Is also the Via Dolorosa, or "the street
or sorrows," through which Christ passed on his
way to Calvary. Along this street aro tho vari
ous stations of tho cross, recording tho incidents
in this momorablo Journey
Then thero is tho Church of tho Holy Sopul
cher, whore tho elaborate Easter ceremonies nro
hold! ThlB church Is In reality a masBlvo bultd
ing containing vast congeries of churches,
chapels and, shrines In which tho various sects
worship. Thoro aro within thcBo wallB thirty
seven Bo-cnllod "holy places," although it must
be Bald that thoro is a grnvo question as to tho
authenticity or many or these.
Ab wo npproached tho outer gae8 of this
church wo were annoyed by tho painfully Incon
gruous note which was struck by tho deafening
mocllov caused by tho yelling und screaming of
dealers in "artlcleB do pleto." or. in other words,
"holy rolics." All sorts or venders wore shout
.. tim tons of their voices and eagerly
clutching nt all comers In tholr frantic ondoavora
to mako a Bale representative urarammm.,
deed, of thoy who onco
house of merchandise."

Knowing that during the days of the actual
Kaster celebration wo would have little oppor
tunity to see these things, owing to tho great
crowds, wo took occasion to visit them the day
following our arrival. Among tho prlnclpnl
places of interest in the Church of tho Holy
Sopulchor are tho supposed tomb of Christ, tho
stone of unction, the holy sepulcher, the Greek
church, tho chapel of St. Helena and Mount
Calvary.
Tho first of the Easter services in the holy
city consists of tho "washing of feet." This
occurs on tho Thursday before Good Friday. It
Is a Greek ceromony, short and unexciting, and
takes placo In the courtyard of the church. Not
withstanding that it is unexciting, every available
Bpucu in tho courtyard and every commanding
window and rooftop was occupied as the Greek
patriarch bathed the feet or twelve or his priests
as they were seated upon a ltttlo platform.
On tho next day Good Friday wo witnessed
tho Latin coromon." of tho crucifixion. This Is
Interesting Id a way, but somewhat shocking to
the occidental Idea. This ceremony takes place
over what is said to bo tho actual site of tho
crucifixion, it Is performed before a cross on
which a dummy figure has been nailed. At the
conclusion the figure is taken down from the
cross and placed In a white sheet, the crown of
thornB and the nails drawn from tho "hands" and
"feet" bolng placed on silver salvcrB. After thlb
a procession 1b formed which leads to tho stone
of unction, where sermons are delivered In six
different languages.
Saturday ufternoon wo witnessed tho ceremony
or the "holy fire," to tho minds or the pilgrims
tho most Important of all, There la a certain
imprcsslveuess about It, but tho grandeur Is lost
In tho mad struggle between the Latin and
Greek worshipers that changes what-should be
a solemn ceremony Into a veritable mob scene.
At tho time wo were thoro much talk was heard
or either abandoning this ceremony or greatly
modifying It, and I must confess that all or our
party agreed that uiiIcsb It could bo conducted
In an orderly manner it should certainly bo aban
doned. Thero Is an old tradition In Jerusalem that
long nftor Christ had arisen and departed trom
the holy sepulcher holy fire rrom heaven was
seen to doscend Into tho sepulcher. Time has
deprived this tradition or tho greater part or its
weight, but it must be admitted that many or
tho poor faithful but Ignorant pilgrims still bo-

the

ness to be literally holy
fire.
Wo secured a good van
tage point from one of the
upper balconies, and by
two o'clock the church
was filled to overflowing
with a zealous yet excit
able mob. The Greek
patriarch, accompanied by
tho Armenian high priest,
entered the holy sepul
cher, and Instantly theie
was n hush throughout all
tho church. On either
side of the sepulcher aro
holes, and soon flames ap
p e a r o d through these
holes. Instantlythe strug
gle commenced. To us it
was a terrible sight to seo
the pilgrims fight to get
near tho holy flame Each
pilgrim held a candle, and
his heart's desire was to light this candle by the
holy flro. Within ten minutes the thousandj
struggling around the holy sepulcher luclosurc
had lighted their candles, and tho church was a
mass of tiny lights from each or these randlea.
Wo were told that much bettor order hac
been maintained on this Easter during the holy
fire ceremony than over berore, and wo could bul
wonder what some or tho past ceremonies wert
like, slnco five persons were removed on stretch
ers while wo looked on, having been severely In
Jured by being pushed down and trampled on by
tho struggling mob.
It was Interesting but by no means romfort
Ing to note the hatred exhibited on every hani
by the Turks.
Wo watched the lino rormlng for a proresslor
where tho Turkish soldiers wore drawn up ai
a guard, much as city policemen keep beck th
crowds during a parade In this country. When
over a Turk got In the crowd he was well liandlod
and assisted to a vantago point it he cared tc
seo, although lor tho most part tho Turks would
not deign to look upon it. Whenever one of thf
Christians was pushed by tho crowd into tho lint
or Turkish soldlors ho was promptly and effective
ly pounded with the butt of a rifle. Not openly,
but rather surreptitiously, the soldier atared
straight front at the sumo timo he mallclouslj
and viciously dabbed backward with rifle butt,
generally griovously hurting whoever was unfor
tunato enough among the pilgrims to bo crowded
against the lines. Above all It was the Armenlant
who were thus abused.
On Sunday morning thero were more cere
monies In tho Church of tho Holy Sepulcher.
These ceremonlos were conducted In manj Ian
guages, and tho vestments worn by the priests
were unusually gorgeous.
At noon on Sunday tho Eastor week coremonles
woio over tor the year. An hour later the reat
army or pIlgrlniB was flocking out or tho city.
In all directions they were traveling with their
few bolonglngs In bundles, but by far tho greater
number Journeyed out on tho highways that led
across the Holy Laud and Into Russia.
Ry night not a pilgrim remained, whilo all
along the roads round about the holy city were
left tho litter nnd tho ashes or the cuntpt ros
whore so many thousands had encamped dm Ing
tho week. The noxt day Jerusalem became tho
hBinc quiet, Hloopy city that It was when tho

one or them applies with equal force to

thing that can be seen and enjoyed In

4. It gives safe companionship.
5. It teaches many things about out
door life that are worth much moro
than thoso learned In tho streets.
G. It makes tho child foel that ho
does something for tho homo, and this
Is a great safeguard.
7. It gives occupation and ruliovcs
much of tho restlessness that is so,
trying to the mother.
8. it gives a feeling of ownership
and control that strengthens character.
9. It will give flowers for tho house
all summer and fall.
10. A flowor garden is contagious.
It appeals not only to its owner, but
to a wido circle of peoplo. In look

Usefulness of Gardens.
A writer In tho Southern Woman's
Magazine calls gardens "the solution
for misspent lcisuro in childhood."
"There Is great economic truth," she
says, "at the bottom of tho garden
movement, nnd ita value has been rec
ognized long ago In European coun
tries, which havo brought about differ

Switzerland, Germany and England

maintains not only flower and vege

cities where largo numbers of children
aro turned out on the BtroetB to loiter,
teaso and maraud. When tho welfare
workers and educators folly realize the
far-reaching value of this movement It
will spread like wildfire over tho coun
try. It Is remarked that the school gar
