NEW REVELATIONS

The New Work, Horace Bushnell. by
 Hfv. Dr, Munger, Pastor Of the Uni-
 ted Church, This city.
 Horace Bushnell. Preacher and Tho ologian," by Theodore T. Munger.
 Houghton, Miffiin & Co. A gentleman
 who resided in China said he once saw a Chinese picture of the conflict of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Eve ryth1ng was there and historically &C., curate-the mountain, the altar, the sacrifice, the prophets of Baal and the prophet of Jehovah, but all in Chinese costume. This picture is fair illus tration of dogmatic theology. The facts of revelation are accurately given, but the interpretation, the philosophy, the explanation of those facts has been determined by the prevailing habit of life and thought. This is unavoidable. One whose idea of a sovereign is a per son in authority who reigns to express his own will and to secure his own slo- ry, will have different doctrine of God as sovereign from the idea of one who conceives of a sovereign as a person reigning like a father, for the well-be- ing and elevation of his subjects.
 Latin theology, from which the the ology of New England descended, was Roman or determined by the Latin idea of sovereignty, law, penalty and re- ward. As the Roman church assumed governmentally, the form of the impe- rial government of the old Roman em- pire, so, doctrinally, she adopted the legal ideas of thatrempire. The relation of God to men was that of an imperial sovereign, his law was an ediet; the penalty of violation was a punishment which could be inflicted on the trans gressor or transferred to another per son. From these ideas came the doc trines of the imputation of Adam $ guilt to his descendants, the substitu- ton of Christ in the 'law-place'' of sinful men, the actual punishment of Christ instead of men and the transfer of his merit of righteousnes to men and all connected doctrines. This sys- tenn may have been the best in practi- cal purposes for the times when it was

HOW DRAMATISTs WORK.
The Long and Difficult Job of Making
 Good and Popular Play.

The Long and Difficult Job of Making
 a Good and Popular Play.
 How do dramatists write plays? In almost as many ways as there are dra- ratists. In one respect, however, their methods hardly ever differ. They first make an outline of the plot, characters and episodes. That is called scena- rio. Sometimes 1t includes the salient points only Sometimes it goes into minute details. Anyway, it shapes and, forms his entire play. By this time he has studied the possibilities of his theme and decided what his characters shall do. He has learned by experience that his work is more difficult than that Of the novelist. He must not describe things, but present them. He may re- sort to narrative only at the risk of los ing the attention of an audience. A play of words and not of deeds Is like the proverbial garden full of weeds" The personages will not amount to much if they merely talk. They must show their traits, motives and inten- tions in action. The soIiloquy is, there. fore, not in favor with the modern play wright These conditions impose long and hard labor upon even the Sentuses among writers for the stage. More time and thought are often spent on seen ario than in writing out the play. 1t may be said that drama of the first class is good years task.
 The playwright must keep his char acters plainly before him all the while.

{ is essential that he shall know where

It Is essential that he shall know where they are, whether active or idle. Whenever they stir 1t should mean
 something. An indefinite movement
 may spoil the effect which he intends to make. The audience sees quite as
 much as it hears. One of our we'll
 known authors sets small puppets on a
 miniature stage and moves them about.
 In no other way can he keep the situa-
 ton clearly in mind while devising and
 developing them. Another man of
 equal renown needs no such signs or
 tokens. The scene in every detail is
 vivid to him without any aids. Others
 make notes on diagrams Still others
 use whatever small things happen to
 be at hand. An old jacknife and pair
 of scissors were the hero and heroine of
 a certain famous drama during all the
 time that 1t was being written One expert in stagecraft, who happens to be
 also a devotee of chess. works out the action on a chess-board. He fancies
 that he is helped in that way to solve
 the problems of his plot. He opposes
 his forces of good and evil, plays them against each other, and wins final victo- liCo lOI tlIG il6uts ASOupClloC' lNOt II IL facilitates his work. His fancy re- quires indictment.
 At the other extreme may be mem toned a man who never has to make so much as dot on paper to assist his memory as to the action. He has his troubles of another kind. He is conn pelled to guard himself against confu- sion and inconsistencies in the various interests of the play in hand. He makes diagrams of them showing their starts and stops, rises and falls, con- tacts and separations. Thus he sees their proportions, and builds them up or pulls them down to suit their relative importance. This diagram becomes an elaborate chart as work progresses. It is clear to him, if to nobody else. It guides him in keeping his principal characters dominant and his minor ones subordinate. By means of it he moves everything toward that climax which every successful drama must reach.
 What the actors do, besides speaking the words of play, is called the bus iness.' The old-fashioned way was to insert that word in the copy at points where special action was required. The particulars were given at the re- hearsals. Nowadays the author is more explicit in his manuscript. He pre- scribes the movements that each char acter shall make. Nothing IS left to nor to the actors choice. When he is to sit and when to stand, where he is to go and how long to stay what feeling he is to show when silent, what degree of emotion he Is to express when speaking-all these directions are set down. Some authors tell, also, how | the personages should look. A para graph describes each individual much | IS a novelist does 1t, though very | briefly and concisely. This is ire auently extended to the color of q wo- mans eyes and hair. She must be tall IT short slim or stout, pretty or ugly, IS best serves the purpose. Tn short,

Kindly Remembered.

Last Friday afternoon the home Of
Peter Thompson was. filled with
friends in honor Of his Goth birth
day. They gathered first at the
church in large numbers ostensibly
fora business meeting which was to
be held that day and which are us
ually held at the pastors study. Mr.,
Thompson, secretary, on reaching the
church thought there was an unusual
large attendance and was surprised
at this. In due time the pastor on be;
half of the congregation, presented
MIR. Thompson with an elegant type
writer desk and chair. After this
part of the ceremony the ladies left
the church and decended in a body
upon the home, being provided with
eatables the tables were set and {
bountiful supper served. Mr.. Thomp-
son was completely surprised and
was so overcome as to be unable tc
say much in response to the presen.
tation except to speak a few words
of thanks. The affair was an ex.
eeedingly pleasant one and long to
be remembered.
