q solution to u problem, the problem OF
the redemption Of the universe through
love and sacrifice.
The modern French drama echoes this
phenomenon in n masterful play. "HIar-
tyr" by Prof. Jean Leeman OF the Ian
guage Institute OF New York. The
theme Of the play is the invasion Of BEL
GUM, but the everlasting epic OF woman
hood. which is ind!ssolubly bound up
with motherhood forms the real ground
work OF the play. The problem Is stated
and the solution given. Society can be
redeemed only by the ennobling effect of
love. real love and no makesh!ft OF that
Christlike passion.
