The Stage aud the Church.

"Eveyman," the English morality
play OF the fifteenth century, was the
subject of the sermon preached by
Rev. John Clarence Lee, d. d., at
the Universalist Church OF the Resto-
ration, Master and Seventeenth streets
Philadelphia, Sunday morning. Mr..
Lee, with several members of his
church, visited the play during its run
last week. He was so impressed by
good in 1t and its moral that he took
1t for the topic Of his sermon. His
text was: Colossians, Ist chapter.
2Sth verse; "Warning every man and
teaching every man, in all wisdom;
that he may present every man per
feet in Christ Jesus"
DR.. Lee gave an outlin: of the play
and the unique way in which it was
conducted. He then said; "What
st. Paul tried to do, as stated in this
text, is practically the aim of every
Jealous preacher of righteousness
But the preachers message is so often
repeated that it sometimes falls upon
deaf ears Hence there have been
efforts, from the days of the prophets
down to the time of the Salvation
Army, to put the truth into new forms,
and by means of speech, song and
emblem, to recall the sinful human
soul to the right way.
"Such an attempt we find in the
quaint and impressive old English
dramatic allegory entitled "Everyman"
Simpler than the Passion Play OF
Oberammergau, it has, nevertheless,
much of the same solemnity and re-
llglous effectiveness. 1t illustrates
how the stage, if rightfully employed,
might well serve the cause of right
eousness
"The lesson of this quaint drama is
the supreme and eternal worth Of
goodness. In the coming Christmas
time it will be the flower of the sick
child, the hand of helpfulness IN some
humble home, the generous gift to
Gods poor that will be written in the
account book to be opened before the
high Lord of heaven"
DR.. Lee then gave a short history
of the stage, starting with the first
theatre that was originated by the
church and led up to the theatre Of
today. He said, "As the stage was
originated by the church there is more
reason why the churches should be
closer to it today, instead of stunning
it as some do. Of course there are
plays of great vice and immortality to.
day that have depressing effect on
a great number of persons who attend
them, but there are twice as many
persons who are on the other hand
benefited by plays which have strong
moral to them. am by no means
encouraging these immoral plays, but
as the Scripture says every man and
woman was born pure, so can every
man and woman get some good out
of play.
"The churches should help these
good plays such as clergyman" and
a great number of others and bring
the good out of them, the same as a
church takes up a man or woman and
brings the good out of him or her."

The Senate has played a sorry joke
on the House by accepting the latter's
amendment to the immigration bill
prohibiting the sale OF liquor in the
Capitol. The House has been in the
habit of attempting to gain favor with
the temperance element by attaching
riders with this provision to bills
going up to the Senate for some time,
trusting to the Seuate's throwing them
out.

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.

| FROM Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, December I6, 1909.
There is little doubt in the minds
OF those in a position TO know, that
the President has made a grave error
IN connection with the Japanese min
istry, he having announced that he
would appoint Mr.. John Barret, now
J minister TO Siam, to succeed Minister
Buck, resigned. The appointment
meets with no favor from the Japanese
minister in Washington who has been
led to believe that Mr.. Barretis a very
lightweight statesman ard the appoint
ment has incurred the enmlty of Sena-
| tor Hanna whose candidate for the
position was Mr.. Lloyd c. Grscom,
now minister to Persia. Mr. Hanna's
close intimacy with the Griscoms is
well known and this affront from the
White House which also involves his
nearest friends and supporters will not
be easily forgiven by the Senator
from Ohio.
49,
The Presidents recent letter, in
which he stated his determination to
consider the fact that man was a
negro as no bar to his holding Office,
is already making hum trouble and
Mr. Roosevelt is face to face with
very unpleasant dilemma. He has
been put in his present position by
| Senator Petchard of North Carolina,
"high priest" of the "Lily White"
movement. The question of reap
pointing one S. H. Wick, negro as
postmaster at Wilson, N. &. has come
to the President for decision and
Senator Petichard has filed an en-
phatic protest. His grounds are two
fold, that Wick bitterly opposed the
Senator'S plans in the state conven-
ton and that his appointment would
be unwelcome to a majority OF the
patrons of the postofice Wick frank
ly admits his opposition to the Sena-
tors plans, which he says contem-
pidtSb illS SNItuolOh u AuC uSSlO
from North Carolina politics, and says
that the argument that the majority
Of the white patrons OF the Office
would prefer white postmaster would
prove equally true of every public
office in the southern states. The
President has asked time to think the
matter over and the politicians are
lnterestedly awaiting his decision.

The Shipping Syndicate. of which
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan is the head,
is claimed to have shown its teeth for
the first time this week when the
London Dock bill was defeated on
the floor of the House. 1t has long
been the custom of dock owners of
London to charge toll of AZ cents
per ton on all freight unloaded at that
port which was shipped from the
United States. With a view to end
ing this discrimination, Parliament
enacted law forbidding the collection
of the toll and the dock owners got
around the law by having the charge
embodied in the bill of-lading nego-
tiated on American soil. The bill
just defeated prohibited the making
of the charge in bills of-lading made
in the United States. At first, the
