While The pastor Of one Baptist
church in New York is laundering de-
nunciations Of play acting and play
actors, the pastor of another presents
a completely mounted play each month
as part of his regular program Of SER
mons.
One Sunday night Of each month the
Rev. Milton W. Pullcn, tho pastor OF
the Central Park Baptist Church,
yields up his place to his young parish
ioncrs. and a play instead of the usual
Sunday sermon holds the preaching
rostrum. The plays. to be sure arc on
sacred themes and are written by Dr.
Pullen himself, who calls them drama
sermons. Still. sermons though thcy
be, they have such worldly mountinEs
as costumes and foctlights and even
whisper ita touch of grease paint.
The elder members Of the church eyed
the footlights at lirst with stern dis
favor. but when it was proved to them
how the youthful Sunday night motion
