Nay, during the entr'acte I went out
sausages and beer.
And yet, beneath all this critical
consciousness, beneath ever the artis-
tic consciousness that could not resist
jotting down a face or a scene in my
sketch book, something curious was
happening in the depths of my being.
The play exercised from the very first
a strange magnetic effect on me; de-
spite all the primitive humors of the
PLAYERS. the simple, sublime tragedy
that disengaged itself from their I'M
couth but earnest goings-on began to
move and even Cypress my soul.
Christ had been to me merely a
theme for artists; my studies and
travels had familiarized me with every
possible conception of the Man of Sor-
rows. 1 had seen myriads of Ma
donnas nursing him, miles of Magda-
lens beWailing him. Yet the sorrows
/ had never felt. Perhaps it was my
Jewish training; perhaps it was that
none of the Christians l lived with lac
ever believed in him. At any rate,
here for the first time the Christ
story came home to me as a real, liv-
ing fact; something that had actually
happened. I saw this simple son of
the peoDle-made more simple by my
knowledge that his representative was
a baker-moving amid the ancient
peasant and fisher life Of Galilee; L
saw him draw men and women, saints
and sinners, by the magic of his love,
the simple sweetness of his inner sun
shine; 1 saw the sunshine change TO
lightning as he drove the money-chang-
ers from the temple; / watched the
clouds deepen as the tragedy drew on.
I saw him bid farewell to his mother;
[ heard suppressed sobs all around me.
Then the heavens were overcast, and
it seemed as if earth held its breath,
waiting for the supreme moment. They
dragged him before PLATE; they clothed
him in scarlet robe and plated his
crown of thorns. and sDat On him: Lazy

The club met again last Tuesday at
ternoon, at the home of Mrs. Culmer. A
paper on Causes of Literary Activity
was read by Mrs. Julia Taylor, in which
was given the history of literary effort

gradual expansion of learning from the
educated clergy to the common people;
showing the social, religious, political
and industrial advancement of the peO-
pie, n the formation of a truly ma

fluence that the patronage of the court
eXerted on writer's and learning; and
mentioning h poets and authors that
became famous during and before the
glorious dawn of national greatness in
the golden age of Elizabeth.
