AOMIRAL AMONG THE DEAD _ JjOE many centqrles past it has been 1 the custom of Christians of all de- M I nominations who could accomplish • 1 the journey to visit spots In the Hdly Land made sacred by connection with the life of Christ; They went at all seasons, but such as could choose their time for this pilgrimage made It at Easter, that they ini^t participate In or witness the wonderful series of services which take place at the actual scenes of the death and resurrection of the Savior. No one who has attended the services of holy week and Easter at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher In Jerusalem has ever failed to be deeply impressed by the services. And yet but comparatively few people know that the unique services preparatory to and cul­ minating in Easter which take place in Jerusalem are reproduced as faithfully as circumstances will permit In one spot in oor own land--at the' Franciscan monastery on the outskirts of Wash* infrton. The Franciscan order of friars has had charge of the holy places of Palestine since early in the thirteenth century. St. Francis of Assisl, the founder of the order, was granted their custody by the Mohammedans. In Washington a body of '* devout monks has created an establishment which Is a memorial of all the holy shrines of Palestine and reproduces the services rtukinj? place there. " The Church of thp Holy Sepulcher, named after the famous basilica in Jerusalem, and Its attached monastery of Franciscan friars are situated to the northeast of Washington, three miles from the United States treasury, regarded as the .center of. the city. The holy brothers were wise In their eelection of their site, when some 15 years ago they chose the glorious wooded eminence now known as Mount St. Sepulcher, overlooking miles upon miles of verdant Maryland on one side and > •on the other the capital of the United States. It is a gracious spot and a fitting place for the re­ production of the most sacred places of earth. In the great church, built upon Byzantine lines, ' restrained by the rule of simplicity of the order, in the form of the five-fold cross, which was the coat-of-arms of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, are assembled faithful reproductions of the holy shrines of Palestine, each separate and distinct, but all combined in a beautiful and harmonious Whole. --J--.: - " The chief feature of the church, as of the whole establishment. Is the holy sepulcher, which is an •exact reproduction of the original tomb preserved In Jerusalem as the holy of holies and sheltered by the magnificent Church of Holy Sepulcher, the mecca of all Christians. It was to preserve the tomb of Christ that many of the crusaders of old from .various parts of the world laid down their lives. The holy sepulcher in the monastery church here, as in Jerusalem, consists.of two apartments. The outer apartment is called the Chapel of the Angel, because the angel was found seated here on the morning of the first Easter. And the Inner chamber, which is the tomb. The chapel of the angel is entered by a low arched doorway, sur­ mounted by a large relief panel representing Christ rising from the tomb. A casket of stone In the center of the chamber contains a fragment of stone from Jerusalem. Through an archway so low that one must stoop far to enter it Is the sepulcher of Christ. It Is a replica of the bare, rock-hewn cell, the tomb of Joseph of Artmathea, in which Christ was laid after his crucifixion. In the original sepulcher a slab of marble has been laid over the tomb to cover it from desecrating hands. Here that slab is reproduced, and on Its lies a figure of the Christ, who, after the anointing of his body, lay here in death from Good Friday until his resur­ rection Easter morn. Above the tomb Is a facsimile of the sliver re* lief panel of Raphael's "Resurrection," which Cardinal Antonelll donated to the holy sepulcher. In Jerusalem the soft lamps which dimly light the eacred chamber are of gold, silver and precious stones. Here the r<^>rpductions are of simpler materials, but produce the; Same effect upon the hallowed spot Jt to at the holy sepulcher that the holy eu- charlst Is administered to the throngs who come to thlg most sacred shrine Easter Sunday morn­ ing,: Above the holy sepulcher and reached by two flights of marble steps is the altar of Thabor, rep­ resenting the commonly known Mount Tabor, where the transfiguration of Christ took place In thQ. presence of Moses and Ellas. To the left of the holy sepulcher, and the altar of Thabor Is the chapel of St Francis. The "SWeet Saint of Assist" is hare represented in the figure above the altar as receiving the em­ brace of our Lord, according to the conception of Murillo. A relief panel on either side of the figure represents, on the right, St. Francis bless­ ing St Louis, king of France, and St. Elisabeth, queen of-Hungary, and on the left his stigmati- zation. ? • The altar of Calvary. set high above the main entrance to the church, is a replica of the Greek altar at Jerusalem, which covers the "place of the ekull," where the Savior of the world gave up his life for mankind. Behind the ultur is au iso- [ presslve group of the crucifixion, consisting of 1 the figure of the Crucified, with the Virgin Mai*y ; and St John on either side. Beyond these figures ace, on either side, two monuments, one of Mary Magdalene^ the other known as the "Pieta" and representing the lifeless body of Christ in the arms of his mother after the descent from the cross. The distance from this representation of Mount Calvary to the holy sepulcheri across the length of the great church, Is about the same as are the originals from each other in Jerusalem, and the height Is the same as Mount Calvary. Beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a series of underground chambers which <are true copies Of several of the sacred spots In Palestine. The Easter services at Mount St. Sepulcher ac­ tually commence a week before, for the rites of holy week are but a. preparation for the glorious celebration of Easter. They are carried out with full detail and liturgical splendor and after the manner of those at Jerusalem, the seat of the actual shrines of Christ, where the Franciscan friars have been the custodians since 1223, when the fervor and piety of St. Francis .won'this right for himself and his followers. Hie first service of holy week takes place Palm Sunday with the nine o'clock mass, when the celebrant blesses and distributes the palms at the. central altar. After this the traditional proces­ sion takes place. In representation of our Lord's triumphal entry Into Jerusalem, when the multi­ tudes waved palm branches before him and shout­ ed "Hosannah to the Highest!" This service Is similar to that now celebrated in Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After the procession round the monastery church at Washington, high mass is celebrated and the passion sung according to the gospel of St. Matthew. Late on Wednesday afternoon the matins of Holy Thursday, commonly called Tenebrae, are sung in the church, which Is but dimly lighted. Holy Thursday, or Maundy Thursday, Is a day of festival because ft is the anniversary of the In­ stitution of the Lord's supper. f Good Friday at the Church' of the Holy Sepul­ cher is observed with rites of unique solemnity. At the morning service of this day no one save the celebrant receives the holy communion. No mass is celebrated in any Catholic church on this day. In black vestments, accompanied by his ministers, the celebrant goes to the altar, which is bare but for the candlesticks and crucifix cov­ ered with a purple cloth. The officiant and min­ isters prostrate themselves before the altar dur­ ing the singing of part of the Scriptures. Then while kneeling a plain white linen cloth Is spread tipop the bare altar, which is now In darkpess. The passion, according to St. John's gospel, is then sung by three deacons, as on Palm Sunday, after which the crucifix on the main altar is un­ veiled and brought down to the altar steps, where clergy and people venerate it. During this cere­ mony all the crucifixes in the church have been unveiled. After the veneration of the crucifix the friars form, in procession and proceed to the holy sep­ ulcher, when the sacrament Is brought back in solemn state to the central altar. The officiant then consumes the sacred species and the clergy leave the altar In silence. ?„ i The Good Friday evening service at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher Is unique in this country, and represents' the burial of our Lord, following closely tjfat performed at Jerusalem. The church Is In comparative darkness and the scenes in this dim ligttt take on an added solemnity. Previous to this service the figure of Christ has been taken from It* year-long resting place In the holy sep­ ulcher Zand is now reclining on a bier in front of thf representations of Mount Calvary. The figurof Is incensed; prayers tre said, and, follow­ ing /he first of a series of sermons in various . languages is preached from the spot ^ len the solemn procession is formed. The de/d Christ on the bier, partly covered by a pall, is Jborne by the monks. Preceding this, at the id of the cortege, are carried representations the crown of thorns, Of the three nails which ;rced hands and feet, of the spear which wound- the side and of the sponge filled with vinegar 'hicli they gave him to drink. Opens on April Calls on Americans to Oversub­ scribe Securities to Insure Defeat of H una. . ' fchlngton, March 27.--Secretary McAdoo announced on Monday that the amount of the third Liberty loan would be $3,000,000,000, the bonds car­ rying 4*4 per cent interest and that all oversubscriptions will be accepted. The secretary of the treasury out­ lined his plan following a conference with Representative Kinliin, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, aud will ask congress for ap­ proval. Outstanding features of the third war loan plan as announced are: The bonds will be noncouvertible, but bonds of the first and second war loans may be converted into the new 4% per cent securities. The bonds will be acceptable at par and accrued interest in payment of United States inheritance taxes. They will have the benefit of a sinking fund of 5 per cent per annum during the period of the war aud for one year thereafter.' Authority to issue $4,500,000,000 in bonds in addition to the $3,(566,000,000 already authorized and unissued is proposed in new loan legislation pre­ pared for submission to congress, so that the total amount which may be issued is $8,166,000,000. Congress, the secretary announced, will be asked for authority to make ad­ ditional loans to the allies during the coming summer. The decision to make the new bonds nonconvertlble, he said, was reached In order to put an end to the expectation of higher inter­ est rates. In a statement issued when making the announcement the secretary de­ clared that the gre&t events now happening In France must fire the soul of every American with a new determination to furnish all the dol­ lars and all the material resources of America that are needed to put an end to tl\e execrable atrocities of German militarism. "Defeat faces the kaiser," he de dared. "Let us hasten It by assert­ ing America's might with increased vigor in concert with our gallant com rades. I am sure that the people will respond to the third Liberty loan with the same loyalty and enthusiasm that characterized their support of the first two loans." Stockholm Dispatch Says That Anoth­ er German Ship Carrying Soldiers Was Blown Up Near the Aland Islands. London, March 26.--Finlanders ar­ riving at Stockholm on the gunboat Svenskund say that the German transport Frankland struck a mine and sank at YGorland, according to aa Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Stockholm. ' - The transport was crowded with soldiers, cannon and munitions, and, according to the dispatch, the entire crew, all the soldiers and Admiral van Meyrer, were lost. [A Stockholm dispatch, dated March 22, said that another German trans­ port had been blown up by 8. mine near the Aland islands and that the transport'Frankland, which came to its rescue, was damaged severely another explosion.] JUpt&iiraaBLK!arjArixr3E The procession moves slowly round the church, stopping at intervals before the various altars. The bier is rested at each until a sermon in a different language Is preached. The figure is finally rested upon the stone of unction, which Is in front of the holy sepulcher, and the last sermon is then preached. After the sermon the figure Is again incensed, prayers are recited and the dea4 Christ is laid to rest for another year In the holy sepulcher. On Holy Saturday, or Easter eve, qutte a num­ ber of old liturgical rites are observed at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Chief among them is the blessing of the paschal candle at the nine o'clock morning service. On the evening of Holy Saturday the church is beautifully decorated with Easter flowers and greens, and there is held the "service of resur­ rection." The friars go to the part of the church In front of the holy sepulcher and then chant the solemn matins of the resurrection. At the con­ clusion of this office the celebrant and his minis­ ters proceed to the holy sepulcher and the blessed sacrament Is brought out In triumph. In gorgeous procession, amid hymns and the pealing of the organ, it is carried round through the various chapels, and finally to the high altar, where the solemn benediction Is bestowed, and the first service of Easter Is over. The Easter Sunday masses, following the cus­ tom of those In Jerusalem, are said in the holy sepulcher every half hour from 5:30 In the morn­ ing. At nine o'clock a solemn high mass Is said at the central altar, when the gorgeous Easter music Is beautifully rendered by the monastery choir before a congregation which crowds the great edifice. A custom of several years' standing at thf1 first service of, Easter Sunday is the at­ tendance in a body of a large number of Howard university students, who walk out to the monas­ tery church to partake of the early Easter sacra­ ment. At the 3:30 service in the afternoon the chanting of the office of compline is followed by the solemn benediction of the blessed sacrament If Easter day be bright and sunny, such of the grounds of the church and monastery as may be explored by the public are filled with sightseers after this song service. They wander through the well-kept grounds and generally find their why to the grotto of Lourdes, lying In a little valley to the south of the monastery. This Is a facsimile reproduction of the famous shrine of the Pyre­ nees, created by the Franciscan friars here for the benefit of those pilgrims who cannot see th§ famous grotto of miraculous healing in its native home in the south of France. It Is only upon special occasions that one may penetrate the seclusion of the beautiful cloisters and courtyard of the monastery, the great, severe­ ly plain rectangular building behind the church. The courtyard, with its vine-covered cistern In the center, Is. a spot of rich beauty, which lends additional charm to the, graceful ambulatory, where the friars take exercise and recreation in inclement weather. Nor may one, except by spe­ cial privilege, penetrate the beautiful private grounds of the monastery and enjoy the exquisitely kept garden and grounds which the monks have created behind their home.

In the everyday walks of life, it is the spring ' time that brings ill health. One of tW chief reasons why the run-down man finds himself in a bad state of health in March or April, is because he has spent nearly all his hours for the past four or; five months penned up withm the walls , of house, factory or office. It is the rea- , son for our diminished resistance that is, lack of out-door life, coupled with perhaps over-eating, lack ot good exer­ cise, insufficient sleep, and eonstipatiMti? In other words, we keep feeding the furnace with food but do not take oat the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn; brightly. Always keep the liver active. There is nothing better for health thant, taking an occasional mild laxative, per-f haps once a week; such a one as yva oan get at any drug store, made np of May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated.^ tiny, easily taken ), which has stood ther test of fifty years of approval--namely,-': Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for, the "Spring Fever," the general condition, the lack of ambition, "blues," one should take a course ^..... treatment every spring; such a standard %r*'r ^ tonic as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-f/* s coverv, now to be had in tablet form in. sixty-cent vials.
