Rev. N. M. Bailey lectured before the ly-
ceum association last Friday night, upon
the subject Of theatre-going, advancing the
most radical views in regard to dramatic
entertainments, which ne believed should
not be countenanced in any degree. What
he said concerning the evil influence of
the theatre, proper, must commend itself
to all thoughtful persons who desire the
elevation of morality and sobriety in So
cicty, and who shall say but that, as the
lecturer implied, the tendency of theatre
acs to degrade humanity is so palpable
that the practice of stage-acting even by
lyceum associations, sabbath schools and
kindred organizations, should be discoun-
tenanced?
Vernon E. Smith is again at his old
