4 Word to the UnwOrldly
Ought to BE Sufficient

Darkness and Eight, the vivid spec
tacle which is on view in this city for its
final week, Is a gripping application Of
dramatic and scenic art TO the missionary
message Of the church.
Colorful and thrilling. yet reverent and
informing. this splendid pageant per-
forms a service in demonstrating what
the stage can do with the greatest thing
ia the world-the gospel plan of human
redemption.
Some offerings of the modern stage are
commended to church folk because of
their religious tone Here is a brilliant
performance that is spiritual in theme,
treatment and teaching. And the church
life OF the city puts it on.
ret IL lacks one element that is conf
monty set down as a sin OF omission in
Christian enterprises. 1t lacks whole
hearted support A few churchmen are
backing the pretentiouS spectacle with
financial guarantees many other religion
lists are backing the wrong way.
Il would be lamentabIe TO see a project
SO worthy result in financial burden to its
unselfsh guarantors. The very fact that
the present hour is full Of appeals to our
emotions and our purses should rebound
to the advantage of this presentation
among discriminating diversion-seekers.
For Darkness and Light offers enter
tainment in keeping with this sober time
in our national life. and it deals with the
heroism Of the Gross which has antedated
the heroism OF the Sword in the great ad-
venture of democratizing the uttermost
parts of the earth.
If you are strong for things Of the
spirit, see this impressive pageant and
take your impressionable little ones to see
it while you have a chance. 1t runs only
four days more.
