Bishop QuayIe on Faust.
On Saturday evening there assem-
bled In the tabernacle what was prob
ably the largest audience ever gath
cred at an opening service on the
grounds. 1t was estimated that 500
people listened with rapt attention for
two hours to Bishop William A.
Quayle's brilliant analysis Of Goethe
and his famous drama. Faust.
In his own brilliant and dramatic
manner this prince Of orators among
the 80 Methodist bishops delineated the
teaching OF the play and the character
of its author. The bishop spoke of
Goethe as a wonderful literary genius,
whose character was immoral rather
than immoral Goethe was SO selfish
he would not leave his drunken and
ibiduous pleasures to go 100 miles to
see his aged mother who entreated him
to come. Goethe's drama was but him.
self in print. We common people may
not have genius and our chief duties
may be to spank the children and
earn bread yet If our characters be
Christian, we are immeasurablly SUI
perior to such as Goethe" the bishop
said.
1t is not possible to describe the
masterful portrayal Of this drama of
the great German poet. The bishops
address scintillated with frequent
flashes of wit. which served as a most
pleasing contrast to his terrific por-
trayals of the power of the devil Ne
phistopheles over his victim Faust. In
short the lecture was a powerful SER
rhon against the hideousness Of sin.
