Some need one kind and some another.

Plea for Joy and Peace

The stage was condemned and it has
never quite recovered from the results
of that era. 1t is still condemned by q
host of people. most of whom, like their
Puritan ancestors, put pietism fol-
piety, religionism for religion and
churchism for Christianity. The play
represents the resting, recuperating
world, just as the press represents the
working world and the church the men,
tai world
IF Christian people sit in groups
feeling each others religious pulses to
find out the aches and pains of the soul
what they need is a physician, for they
are religiously sick. Let our religion
be what it should be, full of joy and
song and peace-recreative as the play
is-and the church will be as popular
as the theater
The stage is full length portrait
of us and we go from the play new
men and women il we have selected
the right play to see. 1t depends on us.
We write the play. We stage il. We
play it, or. what is the same, we have
it played for us. The play is to please
us. If we are displeased it will be re-
written If we are pleased it will be
rapeated
