DRAMA AND PULPIT,

Methodist ministers. the other day, at
a meeting in San Francisco, discussed
"the modern drama" and one Of them
declared that there Is not a redeeming
feature In It," while others expressed
practically the same view, In differ
ent language.
This is too sweeping. It will be read
ily admitted that mu.h that Is pre-
sented as drama Is utterly worthless,
and even worse But that fact does not
justify the rejection OF all as bad.
Much literature does harm, but II
would be unjust to say that there Is
not redeemng feature in II. Even
many so-called sermons are worthless,
but must all be rejected on that ac-
count?
The truth Is that many a wholesome
lesson Is being given from the stage.
Many a noble sentiment is being i'm
pressed upon audiences that seldom are
reached from the pulpit Some dramas
are still potent TO pierce guilty con-
sciences and awaken a feeling Of re-
morse, such as represented in Hamlet.
II Is Just as much a mistake OF the pull
pit to denounce In toto the stage, as II
s for the drama to ridicule the pulpit
The two should work together for the
moral Improvement OF the human fam
ny Even the authors Of the Bible
sometimes employed the drama as a
suitable form Of conveying sublime
truth In an impressive manner. The
love Of drama is innate in man. II can
be used, and is used. for both good and
bad purposes. It Is perfectly right to
condemn the latter, just as It Is to de-
precate the use Of bad language, but It
is wrong TO judge without discrlmina-
ton.
But Methodist ministers are not sup
posed 10 know anything about the
theaters. They are not supposed to
witness any plays, and as long as that
Is the case they cannot be expected to
speak with authority on that subject.
They should not Judge from hearsay,
but speak what they know and testify
to what they have heard and seen for
themselves

THE CHINESE CAMPAIGN.

With the departure OF Count Won

Of rescuing the foreigners in Pekin,
that were in danger of being massa-
cred and as a measure Of retaliation
for the murder Of the German ambas-
sador and other atrocities committed.
The American troops were the first to
leave. The French and japanese are
on their way home, and before long
the country will be free from invaders.
only the troops needed to guard the
legations will remain.
The suferngs inflicted on the Chinese
people in the invaded districts have
been told. partially, by eye witnesses
and the details are such that clviiza-

many people have been slain, or brought
to death by famine and disease. The

RusSIA's OPEN PORT,

There IS great deal Of talk Just
now about European fear Of American
competltIon. and plans whereby TO
counterfeit It, In the meantime Russia
is making the most strenuous efforts
to place herself in a position to obtain
supremacy in every field of human
activity
The latest evidence Of Russian enter
nrlso Is the establishment OF a new
harbor on the coast of Russian Lap
land, where. It seems, the water Is open
all the year round, as in the Norwegian
fiords In those ATTITUDES, The new har-
Dor Is Bkaterlna, II is said to be one
and one.half miles long by one-half
miles Wide, and to have fifteen faith
oms OF water, II Is well sheltered by
high surrounding cliffs, and the great
est difficulty encountered Is to build
wharves and warehouses, for their To-
cations practically had to be blasted
out OF the cliffs. This has been diff
cult and expensive work, but the Rus"
sian government feels that no expense
would be too great IL It will insure an
open port
1t Is also planned to connect ST.
Petersburg with the northern coast by
means Of canal to run from the Gulf
OF Finland to the White Sea, through
the lakes Ladoga and Omega. The ports
on the north are to be connected with
the trans-slberian railroad system, and
In this way the empire Is to have a
complete system Of communication be-
tween It's most distant and principal
parts with Ice free harbors on either
terminus, 1t is hoped that by this
means markets will be found for the
products Of the vast cornfel1s Of Siberia,
and there can be no doubt this hope will
be realized.
