The Medieval Sermon

A Modern English author, John
Masefield, has taken the English
drama back for the nonce to the place
where once it was an important SER
vant-the church. In the Middle
Ages the drama was vehicle for
moralistic teaching. Through the
Miracle, the Mystery and the Nat
ivity plays the church attemp-
ted to portray to the unlettered laity
the intricacies of its teachings.
The fundamental reaction of pub
lie to something which they could
vizualize, to a reality enacted before
them was then, and still is, very
effective instrument for propaganda
The figures of a miracle play, with
their personified distractions, were
far more effective than the figures OF
speech of a rhetorical sermon.
In the Middle Ages there was little
or no drama except such as was found
in the church and in it's service, or
plays on religious subjects performed
by the guilds and towns at regular
periods through the year.
In the sixteenth century, and ear
lier than that, the secular influence,
within the church plays, had begun to
exert itself, the comedies and purely
secular plays began to make their ap-
pearance. The play, such as it then
was-a dramatization of the story of
the Nativity, or a sermon acted out
on the stage with such characters as
Mankind, Discretion, Mercy, Nova
Days taking part, had definite place
in the work of the church.
Today, on the other hand, the
drama has taken an entirely different
tack. Divorced from the church and
its ritual, entirely secular, it has been
looked upon by some as an instru-
ment of the Devil and an enemy OF
the church.
Graded in the church, the drama
has drifted far from its first home.
The church has lost not little and
the drama has gained much in this
separation.
John Masefield has written the
Coming of Christ and it has been
performed in the Canterbury Cathed-
raj where more than six thousand
people saw it on the two days on
which it was given. And the Dean
of Canterbury, the Very Reverend K
A. Bell said when it was over, 81

to recapture the arts for the service
of the Church, chance to offer gifts
of poetry, music, beauty, color and de-
sign, singing and acting, the arts
and crafts to worship. Today, as
centuries ago, mystery plays may pre-
sent great religious truths to mans
imagination and senses, as well as
his mind"
The presentation of this play has
aroused considerable dicussion as to
what influnce such thing might
have today. True, the drama cent
uries ago had lost what might be
called its religious connotation but
the power it has over the mind and
the Imagination has been greatly de-
veloped and made more sensitive. 1t
has so long been associated in
the popular mind with a subject
matter entirely different that in it's
new locale it might be received with
awkwardness.
We cannot help feeling that a dra-
matte work grounded in sincerity and
depth of feeling, sprung from a tradi-
tion that goes back through centuries
of English life, recalling those days
when poetry and the Church we're

Selling By Newspaper Advertisements.

Never in the history of the indus
trial world has the time been so ripe
for aggressive craftsmanship through
the medium of newspaper Advertising
said T. X. Kelly, banker and head
of a sales system, in an address i'm
st. Paul.
"All indications point to long per-
iod of competition, acute and increas-
ingly difficult to meet" said Mr.
Kelly. But those who use newspaper
advertising daringly will do much to-
ward eliminating competition for
their products.
"Of all the contradictory predictions
about business, two conclusions pre-
dominate. The first is that business
will be tighter and the second is that
money will be easier. Money is cas-
ing off and there is slowing down i'm.
the demand for credit. The time is
advantageous for a strike that will
elevate the products in the mind of
the consuming public"
The business man who is succeed
ing today, said Mr.. Kelly as reported
the St. Paul Pioneer Press, is the
one who is finding new outlets for his
product, new ways of cutting COSTS
new methods of doing the old things
Craftsmanship, according to Mr.. Kelly,
can be boiled down to three points,
How much faith have you in what you
sell, how intelligent are you and how
much work are you willing to put in

JUST ANOTHER

The Pine County Courier put the
Catholics and the Negroes in the
same boat last week. Even Colby
seems to be getting a touch of dem
ocracy and before long who knows
but that he might be a Democrat
with capital D. However, Sandstone
folks are used to his getting things
into a potpourri style and take it as
matter of course. Good schooling
doesn't count for much unless per-
son uses the grey matter. 1t is still
necessary to think and study, and to
measure articles from different an
giles if they are to be correct, to the
point and carry weight.
