The Christ Motif in Drama

II is always interesting TO see the results
of the playwrights when they endeavor to
express the Christ motif. The great in
depreciation Of Christ in drama is struggling
to be born.
Undoubtedly this has the strongest appeal
of any subject among men, the most univer-
sal. the deepest, the one most fast-rooted in
tradition. the one TO which all sorts and con-
ditions of men would most quickly respond.
There have been N ny attempts on the
stage TO show how Christ-modeled charac-
ter would act. Unquestionably the best
every way so far is 1.-THE Passing of the
Third Floor Back" But the great play is
yet to come, the one that will deal reverent-
ly with our most sacred convictions, not
offend the most sensitive taste, and satisfy
US by its artistry.
OF course, there are plenty of alleged
Chritian books. Sunday School libraries are
full of them. The trouble is that they are all
poor art and only get by because they are
pious. Perhaps more sloppy. amateur, bar
rem, and utterly valueless writing has been
done about religion than about any other
known theme
Still. the interest is here. II is the COM
monest, and the profoundest, in all the
world. Why do not the great artists use
it? Surely If a crude book like What
Would Jesus Dor" found a million readers, a
book on the same theme by such a master
hand as II. G. Wells or Conan Doyle. or
play by some Shakespearian mind upon the
theme of the sheer majesty OF goodness.

ought to succeed.
Of course, the world is still in the swad-
ding clothes of provincialism to degree.
We still pigeon-hole our emotions, putting
some in the Church, some in the Market,
some in the School. having hardly yet come
at the realization that it is all human. get
Richard Wagner wrote "Parsifal.D
An interesting experiment in depicting
how man would act under the dominance
of Christ's ideas is presented in q current
play, 1.-THE Light of the World"
BY making the story center about the pro-
ductiOn of the Passion Play by the inhabi-
tants of backwoods Swiss town, the author
is helped in his parallel of the real hero Of
the performance with the Christ character
he is supposed to take in the village spec
tacle.
1t escaped being a religious" play. The
characters are human. The incidents lie
in the common rut of daily life But into
the usual relations of men and women are
thrown the impulses that flow from "the
story that transformed the world"
1t seems to me this play must reach into
the mind of every spectator and start
wholesome reflections. For it deals with
those large passions, that deep nobility,
which haunt the subconsciousness of all
of us.
1t is remarkably well played, with taste
and self-restraint, and leaves one with .
host of wholesome and agreeable pictures
in the memory and strange warnings in
the heart.

Sit Tight

The great railroad strike looms again. Demands OF two
million rail workers in the hands of the president The
result of the famous fifteen minute White House con-
ference has strangely made public And yet the
public are most interested On two points only Is there
no doubt The have got something coming to them
maybe not much they ask.
To date, the administration has Numbered woefuly
As long ago August, when railroad shopmen We're
threatening strike the president compromised the sit
alton. He promised to reduce the cost OF living when
was the basis of the proposed strike lie promised to
net the men more money if the cost OF living were not
reduced Andhe has not made good on these promises
The administration has broken faith with the rail
workers. That side of the picture The other side
AMPLY the wisdom unwisdom OF the now pro
poaed action by the workers The consideration Is based
pon public opinion Wilson has been sick man for many
months Perhaps it is his fault he has not made good
Whether the rail workers take this into account or not
The public WILL The railroads themselves are IN state
of transition Bills up in congress to turn them BACK
% private ownership Until they turned back or IN
some way finally disposed OF, wage agreement that
Win stand can be made An agreement with Director Gen.
oal Hines not agreement with the private owners
who may be in control few months hence
The thing for the rail workers to do is to sit tight for
the time being. They should give the administration
chance. They should give the country chance to see
where this thing is coming out.
The thing for the administration to do Is to play square
and in the open Wilson has not done so to date.
II is public opinion that will finally decide the issue
Both the president and rail worker beds In danger OF
losing public support thru hasty action.

And you're no mental heavyweight.
Nor are you apt TO jar the state;
But what Of that? ! don't desire
A man TO set the seas on fire.
He whom the very gods admire
Is apt to blow W like a tire.
/ want man who earns enough
To keep the kids in shoes and stuff,
So we can make decent bluff
At being somewhat up To snuff,
But don't need "A man so bent
On profiteering and per cent
That all his days and nights are spent
Upon that one accomplishment.
! want man whose form and face
Proclaim him of the human race.
But not Of such transcendcnt grace
