a Prencher's Defe nee OF the Drama and
the ODeru.

The Rev. Robert L. Collier. of Chicago,
recently delivered q sermon on The Thea
tire, the Opera and the Church; or, the Re-
latiOns of the Church to Popular Amuse-
ment." His text was from | Corinthians
vii, 3l-"Use this world as not abusing it"
He took the ground that the drama and
opera are harmless and proper amusements,
for Christians as well as tor others. Refer
ring 10 the fact that the theatre is generally
denounced by the evangelical seCts, he
claimed that they did not show why or in
wat it was sinful "The American people,
he said, 'are overworked, and need more
amusement" He recognized as universal
in the human race the dramatic instinct,
and said:
The drama is as ancient as the race.
Much OF the Biblical literature is dramatic.
/ am not quite sure but that the very first
chapters 81 Genesis are dramatic; | am quite
sure that Job is dramatic; that Ruth is, that
Estheris dramatic. Shakespeare, the peer
less poet of centuries, had no function in the
world aud no name left to history, had it
not been for the dramatic instinct and apti.
tude. So with Milton. The greatest poets
that God has given to the world have been

character has its highest representatives in
the drama. confess that never saw such
power, never remarked such nature in any
Christian pulpit that it was ever my priv

No sermon scarcely in the world, except
that of Christ when He stood with the adul-
teroNs woman, ever illustrated the power of
love to conquer evil and to win the wanderer
as that little piece, so perfectly rendered by
this genius which God has given to illustrate
in the drama the power of love over
the sins of the race. I wonder who in
the ministerial Union ever saw JEFF |

these friends the advantage OF our judgment |
