Rev. William Norman Guthrie, D. D.,
rector Of St Mark on the -Bouwerie
of New York city. who has done much
in the effort in America to bring
about the connection between the
drama and the church, says that the
problem of religion is to help people
to see the ideal, and the problem of
the theaetr is to visualize effectively
these ideals. The greatest dramatists
have all taken patriotic or religious
motifs for their masterpieces. The
theaters can help the church to make
the ideal grip through vision, and on
the other hand the church can lend
authority to artistic experimenta-
tions. such as The Book Of job by
