TEE RIVALRY OF TIE PULPIT AND TEx STAGE
Was not always lgnoble- There was time whe
preachers and actors equally strove to heighte
lhe dignity Of their respective professions. Pre-
iates sometimes discussed With managers th
secret of eloquence, and 1oarned from them th
best avenues Of approach to the human heart

Betterton "oniy tell the story; I shor
,acts." Garrick said, less happily, to u clesica
friend, who also inquired why The actors e1er

man nature is so constituted that it v1ews With
a1strust and alarm any declared attempt to make
different from what it is. The Clergyman has

direct exercise OF power, while the actor oyer-
:onnes it by removing obstacles aud allowing
he forces Of nature to operate The stage ex-
,rts its influence through prejudices and pas
