WASHINGTON, April 6. There was
large attendance in the galleries of

over the attempt to pass the River

and the Speaker put the question on

A great swelling chorus of ayes was
followed by a feeble scattering of

declare the motion carried when HIT
asked for yeas and nays. Yielding to
the appeals Of many members, how

be worse than the ultra orthodoxy of
the writer, for by "lost" he doubtless
means doomed to endless damnation.
1t is case fully as sad as that of the
conservative party in the Church of
England some years ago when GER
tain broad church divines were tried
for heresy on the charge of holding
liberal views. They were acquitted;
and an irreverent secular newspaper
commented on the result of the trial
something as follows: "The devil is
abolished, hell dismissed with costs,
and Christians deprived of their last
hope of eternal damnation.'
Those Christians of Japan repre-
scented by Mr.. Jones are evidently in
danger of being deprived of their
last hope of eternal damnation," for
he also charges 'the great Presbyter-
ian Christian College in Tokyo with
liberal tendencies. Of this school he
quotes brother missionary as saying
that, out of twelve students gradu
ated during the past ten years, give
of them have gone to the Unitarians,
three have gone into other avocations,
the rest refuse to leave the large and
profitable places in the cities to go
out to preach the gospel to the masses
of the people who have not yet heard
of Christ"
This is indeed somewhat discourag
ing,-not only from the standpoint OF
orthodoxy, but also to other Chris
tians. Who is responsible, however,
for this state of things? The situa
ton is not without humor, as we have
seen; nevertheless there is much to
cause genuine apprehension to liberal
Christians, for there is probably
much ultra liberalism of an objection
able type in Japan, and. according to
Mr.. Jones's own confession, this is the
fruit Of orthodoxy. Indeed is it not
the inevitable reaction from the ultra
ortho ioxy voiced by him?
There is evidently room for the
Universalist Church in the Island
Empire. May we not with reason
hope that the conservative type of
liberal Christianity represented there
by our Mission-the Universalism of
Christ, the Bible, and reason-may
prove the golden mean between the
two extremes of a-liberalism and
ultra orthodoxy? E. M. WILSON.

OBERAMMERGAU: ITS PEASANTS
AND THE PASSION PLAY.

The Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT
has asked me to jot down few facts
relating to the famous Passion Play
of Oberammergau and the villagers
who take part in it. l am very glad
of the opportunity, because of the
growing interest manifested on all
sides in the subject, while there is
yet great deal of ignorance as to
what the Passion Play really is.
The common use of our words
'passion" and "play" is largely re-
sponsible for this ignorance, or the
misconception arising from it. "Pas-
sion-spiel" is the word in German,
the speech of peasants of Oberam-
mergau. That word really means,
"The song of suffering" and the one
great suffering" that this world has
known is that of Jesus. The peas
ants by the Passion Play enact, there
fore, the suffering or passion" of
Jesus during those last days of his
life, of which in our churches Pas
sion week stands as anniversary.
1 would like to disabuss every one
of the idea that the Passion Play
savors in the least degree of an ordin-
airy play or drama. 1t may rightly

A VAIL FROM JAPAN.

In the May number of the Mis-
sionary Review of the World, Rev. E.
HI. Jones of Sendai, Japan, voices the
alarm of ultra orthodoxy at the
spread of liberal views in the Island
Empire. Speaking of the Christian
university at Doshisha, established
through "the conservation and self
sacrifice of the sainted Neeshima" he
says:
Hardly decade had passed be-
fore the university was noted for it's
ultra-liberalism. Its predominating
influence threw a cloud over the
prospects of Christian evangelism in
Japan. It's students were more in
terested in higher criticism than in
seeking to save their countrymen. In
fact they came to doubt tohether un-
believers acre lost"
The last sentence (Which l have
italicized) makes one doubt whether
the ultra liberalism condemned can

young man after his return | said to
him, "You sat beside me that day at
Oberammergau when we saw Maier
enacting "Christus" in 1890. Now
how did he impress you near at hand
and five years later on?" He seemed
more divine in his own home and
busy about his domestic duties
than he did upon the platform in the
Messianic role; and when he lighted
me to my chamber and setting the
little lamp down upon the stand, with
a graceful gesture besought pleas
ant rest for me beneath his humble
roof, l felt I was in church that
was home and a home that was
church."
Now Maier is representative peas
ant of this hamlet. The object

tianity is not growing less potent but
more as the. years go by and bring
another season of the Passion Play
nearer. According to Maier prepare
tions are already underway for the
event of 1900. 1t will be given on a
grander scale than ever. The ques-
ton of interference by the authorities
at the capital Munich was practically
settled, Maier said, in 1889. Then

If any word of mine, spoken or
written, shall induce people to go to

be styled grand religious festival,
yes, the grandest this world has thus
far seen or probably ever will see.
It's origin was religious; amongst the
monks of Ettal Monastery. Itsgrowth
has been religious, connected with
the church of Oberammergau. All
it's accessories are religious. 1t has
been handed down from generation
to generation for centuries as part of
the religious life of the village, until
practically the whole life of the vii
lage may be defined as preparation
for and a representation of this re-
ligious festival. The day on which l
was present was ushered in by
grand service in the church which |
attended and in which six hundred
men and women and children took
part. These six hundred were that
day to present the "Story of Suffer
ing" to five thousand visitors who
had come to that little hamlet in the
Tyrol from all parts of the world.
Again, just before the story is to be-
gin at s A. NJ, another religious SER
vice is held on the platform behind
the curtain.
Before | went to Oberammergau, /

those who thought it irreverent, if
not blasphemous for any individual
to personate New Testament charac-
tiers; especially individuals 80 rude
and unlettered as peasants would be.
Ny object in going really was to get
material for a lecture that would
show people how irreverent the at
tempt was. | came away just as
much in sympathy as ever with those
who think it would be blasphemous
for people else where to personate
these characters, but with the feeling
in my own heart that it would be ir-
reverent for me to attempt to tell
the story of their representation of
the divine drama. 1t was so grand,
so divinely impressive For what
did l really find? A people who
from generation to generation have so
faithfully lived the lives of the New
Testament characters, that at last
seemingly they have come to look
like the ideals we have formed from
reading the New Testament.
At Oberammergau we have in the
villagers and their Passion Play the
most convincing object lesson imagi-
nable of what applied Christianity
means for an individual and for a
community. limitations had come
to me from many directions that the
amount of money made at the forty
three presentations of the Passion
Play in 1890 was demoralizing the
village, and that the authorities would
interdict its presentations in 1900.
To make myself sure whether or not
these statements were we'll founded l
asked young man who was passing
the summer at Munich last year to
visit Oberammergau and report how
be found things midway between the
years of giving the Passion Play. He
obtained lodgings in the home of
Joseph Maier. Maier is the peasant
who since 1870 has personated "Chris-
tus." The first time | met the
