Passion Play" riyaling that OF 0be-

in the Passion theatre. under the di
rection of NJ. Petit, the village priest,
with his parishioners as the east. The
play, costuming, verse. music and
equipment have been developed and
improved since the prewar perform
anees.
There are 10 scenes depicting the BIZ
BILE incidents from the birth to the
resurrection The play runs from .
a. m. to noon and from ] 80 to ). In.
termissions between the scenes are
filled by tableaux representing, pin.
cipally, prophetic passages Of the cid
testament bearing upon the running
story.
The text, where IL is not that Of
the Bible. is the verse of various poets
and the music is taken or adapted
from various composers. NJ Petit
says he has utilized from all sources

or, during the descent, might easily be
misportrayed. On the cross, the long
white winding sheet is draped under
the principals arms and over the two
arms of the cross. The ends of the
cloth, floating like wings, add mueh to
the effect and serve their real purpose

to its destiny from it's divine and
imperishable character and origin.
But after all, this argument is be-
side the mark. The immortality of the
soul is an affair not of science, but
of religion. 1t is not subject for in
vestigation, for the weighing Of evil
dence. 1t is related to human desires
and destines and hopes and fears.
Love and duty alike long for it and
lean on it. 1t is not mere dogma, an
abstract speculation, formula for
ccld-blooded disputation. 1t is "closer
to us than breathing, and nearer than
hands and feet. 1t concerns the nature
of our soul and the soul is our very
self. 1t is not mine, it is lit is you.
1t concerns our future, concealed as
it is in the clouds that gather over
graves. And we are utterly ignorant
Of the souls nature, and cannot even
speculate darkly as to its destiny. And
yet of what import is that? Science
only touches a small field Of mater
ial knowledge, and that imperfectly.
1t is only the soul that can profitably
consider the soul whose persistence
or whose perishing vitality affects our
relation to the world, to duty and to
God.
Our fathers believed in immortal
ity, in rewards and punishments, in
divine justice, but to them, it was a
consequence, not a motive. "Be not
like slaves" said the Rabbis, "who
serve their master for reward"
They sought goodness for its own sake
and for Gods sake; in their noble
phrase, to "sanctify the Name" or to
save their souls.
Such is the relation Of this great

curious it is to bring together a mod
ern poets dream and a parable of
the ancient Talmud. The rabbis also
entertained this naive and lovely
fancy. The infant souls, they said,
are in Paradise. And when the child
is about to come to earth, an Angel
strikes the infant mouth that it shall
be dumb when it seeks to tell Of the
divine glories in Paradise above; and
the mark of the angels hand is still
visible in the indentation Of our upper
lip. You see Wordsworth, like the
Rabbis, believed in pre-existence.
Others there are who think that
every new soul exists by a special
act of creation; and still others who
maintain that the soul of child is
derived from the parental body, as
the body is fashioned from the pa
rental body. Whatever view we take,
whether Wordsworths or not, we are
obliged to note how closely associat-
ed must be our idea of the destiny Of
man with our belief as to his origin.
And the idea of mortality is still
more closely connected with our view
as to the character of the soul, its
nature, what it is.
Is mind a mere function of mat
ter? Does the brain secrete thought
as the liver bile? This is, roughly
speaking, the materialist's view. But
what does this explain? How is it
not only possible but even conceiv-
able? How can matter produce mind,
or mind matter, seeing that they be-
long to two different worlds that do
not touch, that are not interchange
able, that cannot be converted one
into the other? Modern science
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-09-10

clearly and incontrovertibly proves
that thought is not the result of
brain changes, but the accompani-
ment thereof. 1t is a mysterious
parallelism b'tween the mental and
the material that we cannot explain,
that we cannot relate as cause and
effect, but that we simply know is
coincident, is almost what Leibnitz
termed "pre- established harmony
So we cannot think of mind as =
mere secretion or function of matter.
1t is still an unspeakable mystery.
The only language that can express
it is the language of religion. The
soul is mystery that manifests an
other mystery; in a word it is an
effluence of God. 1t is an expression
of the Universal Spirit, of the CO.'S
mic life. Does that recall the great
intuition of the Bible writer that man
was made in the image and likeness
of God. How the language Of su-
preme emotion is akin to that of pro.
foundest thought! How the intui-
ton of faith accords with that Of
philosophy! Is it the Bible that tells
us that man, intelligent, self-con.
scious, is made in Gods image? Her
bert Spencer, the advanced apostle Of
modern thought of science, tells US
that "the divine energy that pervades
the universe is the same energy that
wells up in man in the form of con-
seriousness"
We conclude therefore, indeed we
know, that the soul is not an illusion,
an accidental combination, product
of material conditions, but that it Is
literally a part of the Eternal, with
the differences that plainly follow as
