This act of Congress decreased the re-
ceipts by something like $6,5000o0 a
month. In fact in July the receipts from

figure as 2 result of the cut. This month
the reduction is not SO large.

that the State Department has abundant

Phillips, Vicar of Gorleston. near Var
mouth, who aroused widespread comment
by permitting Mrs. Brown Potter to re-
cite from his pulpit in June, 1901, is
agitating a fresh and more startling
scheme for a close union of the church
and stage in the cause of religion. He
proposes that each parish maintain a
theatre under the management of the
church. In an outspoken interview the
clergyman says:
"Clergymen overdo the religious side
of life, thereby running the spiritual
liver, like that of overfed Strass0urg
geese"
The plan of the Rev. Mr.. Phillips in
cludes a revival of the mystery plays of
the middle ages and the establishment
of a sort of Oberammergau Society in
