Aa you know, Lila and I left Dresden at five o'clock in the morn ing. We spent an uneventful day on the train, save for crossing the Danube river just where the famous old " Wal hallanis. A beautiful spot it is, too. The huge white temple built on the aide of a hill, many higher peaks of the Alps for a background the Danube flow ing beneath, is a picture. But the river is disappointing here, being narrow and shallow. Saturday and a part of Sun day we spent in looking around Munich. I mm so charmed with the place; really believe it is more interesting than Dresden. It is the capital of the Ba varian province' and a much more wealthy and prosperous country than cifix and often the only building of any kind for miles will be one lone cathedral. "We arrived at this little station just at the close of the performance of Sun day. You understand, it is only given three times a week, and the time we saw it was an extra performance and the last one of the year. There was a great crowd of people from all over the world, many Americans. And it seemed a very busy place as we walked along its irregular, quaint streets, preceded by a tall lad carrying our luggage, a native of Ober-Ammergau, with the long, wavy hair hanging down to his shoulders, for there all the men wear their hair long, so that they may be prepared for some part or other in the play. They all have honest and kind faces and their lives are Saxony. Its close proximity to Switzes- evidently righteous onea It is a simple, laad brings many of the Swiss people unspoiled village of 1,500 inhabitants, into the country, and they with their separate from the rest of the world. pretty costumes are very interesting. The shops of Munich, l4jbiak,mte supe rior to those of Dresden. It is an ex pensive place. So is Dresden, for that matter. Sunday at two o'clock we left for Ober-Amieagau; a' very hot ride on the train crowds! with' people going to see the last perivrsBSsce of that great these people, so simple and sacred, giv play. The ride through the mountains, :ng, as they do, so much thought to the notwithstanding the' heat and dust, was subject and presentation of the play very enjoyable. which has given such fame and noto- MAt six o'clock' ws came in sight of riety to the little burgs that they are so the little Tillage, oaiy a handfull of little good and pious. said to be more like Swiss than Germans Such a piece as it is for cowa'Each with bell, and twice a day a long procession of them passee up and down the princi pal streets. The horses also have bells, and likewise the goats. It is not to be wondered at, when we see the life of houses after the Swiss style.

It be gins with Christ's entry into Jerusalem and ends with His rising from the dead, appearing at the tomb and the ascen sion. They do not omit the slightest detail. I cannot imagine any one car ing to see it but once. No not even af ter ten years. There is not the least make-up of any of the characters and in many instaucee it seems almost too real. For instance, while on the cross and af ter he is supposed to be quite dead, in stead of breaking Cnrist's bones as they do those of the two robbers, you know a spear is thrust in his side, and here we not only hear as it enters but the blood also is seen to gush forth and continues to run down His body. How it is done I cannot say. Can only say that the whole is most impressive. "The tableaux are very fine. Between the stage settings, the Alps rise above the artificial scenery and the effect is very wonderful. The part of Christ is fine; the man, Anton Long, has a most gentle, kind and sympathetic face; he does the part in a wonderful manner and is exactly my idea of our Savior. John is splendid, and Mary also. Judas' acting is considered especially fine. He has a strong part and difficult which is certainly well done. The cast for the entire performance requires 700 men, women and children. The season begins in June of every tenth year. For one whole year preceeding the open ing the villagers begin to prepare them selves, a year of consecration Not the least sort of entertainment is indulged in during all of this ytar. The parts are chosen by secret ballot. The quali fications are first, a blameless reputa tiob and a perfect moral character; sec ond, or first, one must be a native of Ober-Ammergau; third, specially quali fied for the particular part. They con sider the honor of playing the part of Christ or Mary, Martha or John sur passing any earthly honor, so there is a strong incentive for right and noble living. The object of the play is to represent tho story of Christ's life by facts and also to blend with these facts the types and characters of the Old Testiment. We found ourselves very tired after it was over. Took a train at once for Munich. Enjoyed the four hours of night travel almost as much bb that of the day before. We had the moon and scenery.
