TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY What It and Holy Work Mean, by a Prominent Churchman. Today is Good Friday, a day general ly held holy throughout the country by relligous bodies. "The meaning of O Drug Store April 18 z Holy Week and Good Friday," by James A. Bolles, D. D., is clear, de scriptive and Interesting reading, es pecially to those who deign to keep this day holy. It follows: There has always been a Holy Week In the church of God always, as well uiiuei ttiu iiin one entire week consecrated to re llglous solemnities, by Almighty God Himself, having Its origin In the Pas chal week of the old dispensation, fore shadowing the suffering of Christ, and continued In the Christian church to commemorate those sufferings. And as In the one week the pious Jew looked forward to the atonement sym bolized In the Passover Lamb to be re vealed In the fulness of time, so In the other the pious Christian looks back upon the stupendous mystery as finished; and under both dispensations the real subject of the week Is, "The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Yes, for 1500 years before the coming of Christ, there was a Holy Week In the church of God. Year af ter year, the Jewish nation gathered within the temple, to be nearer the al tar of their faith. There i they re hearsed the story of their redemption from Egypt; there they heard the miracles ,of their deliverance read; there the Paschal Lamb was slain, and the mystical supper eaten; and so, from century to century, it continued until the great week arrived, when the types and symbols disappeared, and the true Paschal Lamb was slain. If, for 1500 years, It was dear to the faithful, as the shadow of good things to come, can it be possible that it Is no longer dear as the week com memorative of the actual fulfillment? The supposition Is Impossible. We know It Is not so. We know from the undoubted testimony of nil hi. tory, that as the week came around. so filled and corwded with the most sacred and affectlnar recollection r.t the Bufferings of Christ, the early Christians rescued It from all com mon and worldly purposes, and made It commemorative of all the mysteri ous agonies of the Saviour's cross and passion. They crowded their temples and places of worship; they listened to the story of the Redeemer's con descension and love, as read to them from the Inspired record of the Pro phets and evangelists of our Lord; they followed Him through all the painful steps of His humiliation and sufferings, from Gethsemane to Cal- NEW ELECTRIC THEATRf .
