THE FOUR GREAT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
The first represents the wise men of the East offering tribute to the young Christ In the humble place of
His birth. The magi with a retiune of attendants behind them reverently bow In the presence of
the Holy Babe as presented by the Virgin Mother.
The second brings forth the original Idea of Christ In the garden of Gethsemane. Christ at prayer,
occupies the foreground. It Is one of the most striking of reproductions ever brough It forth. On
the extreme right the Roman soldiers, are approaching led by Judas. The holiness of the scene
must be viewed in the original to be fully appreciated.

The third brings Christ before Pilate In the hall of judgment. Around the : room the! JJXhfioS
and the Pomilace are In' a state of tumu t, demanding the life of the Savior. Pilate In trie gover
nors ; chairappears In a state of uncertainty whether to yield to the multitude or to release the
Prisoner.
The fourth is the crucifixion. The story Is too familiar to all for repetition. The colorings In this pic
ture and the thoughts brought forth are beautiful In the extreme. Many Europeon critics say that
they know of nothing upon the continentlthat is equal to the four paintings. Every detail comes
out in the most perfect and harmonious manner. Under a high lens power the result is still more
remarkable.
This group of pictures is now on .exhibit at Mitchell's Wall Paper Emporium, 1338 O St. They were on show at the Trans
Mississippi Exposition and elicited much praise there. The coloring was done by the great German student. Pro essor
Charles Droiser and required about eighteen months work. To be truly appreciated they must be seen In the original
as the richness of color Involved can not be reproduced. Mr. Mitchell welcomes visitors at any time to view the works.
He deserves great praise for his conceptions of Christ both from the point of the student and the artist.
