Talmage and the Actor

The Chicago Times Herald prints a story of Dr Tslmage's training by an actor to whom he went when a yonng man After telling him to give up the pulpit and use platform. he picked up 8 Bible and asked: Do you believe in this book, and that the choice of life and death is here?" Mir Talmage said he did. "Then why do you read from it and talk from it like this?" and the teacher gave an imitation of average pull pit elocution which his nearer recog- nized as ludicrously exact. A demon stration of how an actor would read the same passage followed, and the first les son ended with the pretty epigram "You ministers express what you be- lieve in such way that people do not believe it, while we actors express what we do not believe in such way that people believe it."
