The Church Should Go to the Theater. tCopyrlRht lapoki . Washington. D . O. At a ' time when tbe Whele oountryls In oonttversytiBS.efvef3 before concerning the theater .and some; plays are being arrested by the polio andi Others are being patronised 4y. Clu-tetiao. noonlo this Sermon ot DrilalrfiftiWfcis of much interest. The texfciiqoriaanBij vil., 31, "They that use tuis worm as not abusing It." My reason for preaching this discourse is that 1 have been kindly invited by two of the leading newspapers ot tb is country to inspect and report on two ot the popular plays of the day to go some weeks ago to Chicago and see tlio drama "Quo Vadis" and criticise it with respee to its moral.ef feet and to eo to Newiork and see the drama "Ben-Hur" and write my opinion of it for DUblio use. Instead of doing that I propose in a sermon to discuss what wo' Bhnll do with the dramatic element wnion Ood has implanted in many of our natures not in ten or 100 or 1000, but in the vast majority of the human race. Some people speak of the drama as though it were something built up outside of ourselves by the Conereves and the Goldsmtths and the Shakespeares and the Sherldajis of literature and that then we attune our tastes to correspond with human inven tions. Not at all. The drama. Is an echo from the feeling wbieli Ood hns Implanted in our immortal souls. It Is seen first in the domestic circle arndsg the children three Or four years of age playing with their dolls arid their cradles and tbeir carts, seen ten years after in tue playhouses of wood, ten years after in the parlor charades, after that in the elaborate impersonations In the academies of music. Tbespis and jEschy 1U4 and Sophocles and Euripides merely draniutiaed what was In the Greek heart; Terenoe and Plautus and Seneca merely dramatized what was in the Roman heart; Oongreve and Farquhar merely dramatized what was in the English heart; Bacine, Cornoille and Alflorl only dramatized what was iu tue French and Italian heart; Shakespeare only dramatized what was in the great world's heart. The dttbyrambio and classic drama, the sentimental drama, the romantic drama, were merely eohoes of the human soul. I do not speak of the drama on the poetic shelf or of the drama ia tha' playhouse, but I speak of the dramatic element in your soul and mine. We make men responsible for it. They are not responsible. They are responsible for tho perversion of it, but not for the original implantation. God did that work, and I suppose Ho knew what Ho was about when He made us. WeariJ nearly all moved by tlie spectacular. When cn TliacksRiving Day we decorate our churches with the cotton and the rice and tho apples and tho wheat and the ryo aad the oats, our gratitude to God is stirred; when ou Easter morning we sea written in letters of flowers tho inscription, "Ho Is Btsen," our emotions are stirred. Every parent likes to go to the school exhibition, with its recitations and its dialogues and its droll costumes. The torchlight pro cession of the political campaign is merely the dramatization ot principles involved. No intelligent man can look iti any secular or religious direction without finding this dramatic clement revealing, unrolling, -demonstrating itself. What shall we do with it? Shall we suppress it? You can as easily suppress its Creator. You may direct it, you may educato it, you may purify It, you may harness it to multi-potent useful-,, ness, and that it is your duty to do, just as we cultivate taste for the beautiful and sublime. " . 1 Now, I have to tell you not on!y that God has implanted this dramatic element in our natures, but I have to tell you iu the Scriptures He cultivates it, He appeals to it, He develops it. I do not care where you open tho Bible, your eye will fall upon a drama. Here it is in tue book of Judges, the Ur tree, tho vine, the olive tree, the bramble they all make speeches. Then at the close of the scene there As aeorona tlon, nnd the bramble is proclaimed king. Thnt is a political drama. Here it is in of aocldent ahd'sufferlnff I saw one slip hpery morning in the streets of Fnlladei- i i'puia. Just ahead of me was a lad, wretch ea in apporej, nu umu amputated at ine knee; from the pallor of the boy's cheek, the amputation not long before. He had a package of broken food under his arm food he had begged, I suppose, at . the doors. As he passed on over the slippery pavement, ' cautiously . and carefully, I steadied blm until his -crutch slipped and he fell, I helped him up as well as I could, gathered up the fragments of the package as well as I could, put them under one arm and the cratch nnder the other arm, but when I saw the blood run down his pale cheek I burst Into tears. Fifty essays about the sufferings ot the poor could not touch one like that little drama of accident and auXfarlnir. Ob, we want in all our different depart ments ot usefulness more ot the dramatic element aad less of the didactic. The tendency in this day is to drone reljgiofl, to whine religion, to cant religion, to moan religion, to croak religion, to sepuloharize religion, when we ought to present it in animated and spectacular manner. What we want, ministers and laymen, is "to get our sermons and our exhortations and our prayers out of the old rut. The old hackneyed religious phrasos that come snoring down through the centuries will never arrest the masses. What we want to-day, you in your sphere, and I in my sphere, is to freshen up. People do not want In their-sermons the sham flowers bought at the millinery sh6p, but the iaponicas wet with the morning dew, not the heavy bones of extinct megatherium oi past ages, but the living reindeer caught last August at the edge ot Sohroon Lake. We jwant to drive out the drowsy and the prosaic and the tedious and the humdrum and introduce the brightness and the vivacity and the holy sarcasm and the sano tlfled wit nnd the eplgrammatlo power and tho blood red earnestness nnd the fire of re liglous'zeal, and I do not know of any way of doing it as well as through the dramatic. But now let us turn to the drama as an amusement and entertainment. Eev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, many years ago in a very brilliant but much orltl cised sermon took the position that tho theater might be renovated and made aux iliary to the church. Many Christian peo. pie are of the same opinion. I do not agree with them. I have no idea that suc cess is in that direction. What I have said heretofore on this subjeot, as far as I can remember, is my sentiment now. But to day I take a step in advance -of my former theory. Christianity is going to take full possession or this-world and control Its maxims, its laws, its literature. Its science and its amusements. Shut out from the realm ot Christianity anything and you give it up to sin and death. It Christianity is mighty enough to manage everything but the amusements of the world, then it is a very defectlvo Chrls tianitv. Is it curmhlft of kflsninf neconnt i of the tears of the world and incompetent to make record of its smiles? Is it good to follow the funeral, bat dumb at the world's play? Can it control all the other elemonts ot our nature but the dramatic elemeut? My idea of Christianity is that it can and will conquer everything. ' Now, what we want is to haston that time. How will It be done? By the church going over to tho theater? It will not gc. By the theater coining to the churoh? It will not come. What we want is a reformed amusement association in every city and town of the United States. Ouce an nounced and explained and illustrated, the Christian and philanthropic capitalist will come forward to establish it, and there will be public spirited men everywhere who will do this work for the dramatic element of our natures. Wo need a new institu tion, to meet and recognize and develop and defend 'the dramatic element of our nature. It needs to be distinct from ev erything that is or has been. I would have this reformed, amusement association having iu charge this new in stitution of the spectacular take possession of some hall or academy. It might take a smaller building at the start, but it would soon need the largest hall, and even that would not-hold the people, for he who opens before tho dramatic element in human nature au opportunity of gratifica tion without compromise and without danger does the mightiest thing of this century, and the tides of such an institu tion would rise as the Atlantic rises at Liverpool docks. . There are tens of thousands of Christian homes where the sons and daughters are held back from dramatic entertainment lor the book of Job.

Here it is In Solomon's Song the region, an oriental region: Vineyards, pomegra nates, mountain of myrrh, flock of sheep, garden of spicos, a wooing, a bride, a bride groom, dialogue after dialoguo intense, gorgeous, nil snggestivo drama Is the book of Solomon's Song. Hero it is in the book Of Luke: Costly mansion in the night. All the windows bright with illumination. The floor a-quake with the dance. Returned son in costly garments which do not very well lit him perhaps, for tliey wore not made for him, but he must swiftly leavo pff his old garb and prepare for this extem porized levee. Pouting sou at the back door, too mad to go In, because they nro making such a fuss. Tears of sympathy running down the old man's cheek at the story of his eon's wandering nnd suffering and tears of joy at bisre;um. When you heard Murdock recite "Tho Prodigal Son" in one of his readings, you did not know whether to sob or shout. Revivals or re ligion have started just under the reading ol that soul revolutionizing drama of "The Prodigal Son." Here It is la the book of Revelation crystalline sea, pearly gate, opaline river, amethystine capstone, showering coronets, one vial poured out incardinating the wa ters, cavalrymen of heaven galloping on white horses, nations In doxology, hallelu iahs to tho right of them, hallefuiaLs to the left of them. As the Bible opens with the drama of the first paradise, so it closes With the drama of the second paradise. Mind you, when I say drama I do not mean myth or fable, for my theology is of the oldest type 500 years old, thousands of years old, as old as the Bible. When I speak sf the drama at the beginning md close of the Bible, I do not mean an allegory, but I mean the truth 30 stated that in grouping and in startling effect it is a God given, world resounding, heaven echoing drama. Now, if God im planted this dramatic element in our na tures, and if He has cultivated and devel oped it in the Scriptures, I demand that you recognize it. Because the drama has again and again been degraded and employed for destruc tive purposes is nothing against the drama any more than music ought to be accursed because it has been taken again and again into the saturnalian wassails ot 4000 years. Will you refuse to enthrone music on the church organ because the art has been, trampled again and again nnder tho feet of the lascivious dance? It is nothing against painting and sculp ture that in Corinth and Herculaneum they were demonstrative ot vulgarity end turpitude. The dreadful museum at Pompeii shall throw no discredit on Pow ers's "Greek Slave" or Church's "Heart of the Andes" or Rubeus's "De scent rrom tue""Cros5" or Angelo's "Last Judgment." The very fact that again and again the drama has been dragged through the sewers of Iniquity is the reason why we should snatch it up and .start it out on a grand and a holy and '". magnificent mission. Let me say at this point in my sermon that the drama vill never be lifted to its rightful sphere by those people who have not sense enough to distinguish be tween the drama and the "playhouse. The drama fs no more the theatre than a hymn book is a ehureh, I -am not speaking, in regard to thB theatre at. all. The drama i? a literary expression of that feeling which God implanted In the ho man soal. Neither will the drama evor be lifted to Its proper sphere by wholesale denunciation: of ali dramatists. It you have, not known mv.n nnd women connected with the drama whV are pure in heart and pure in speech and pure in lite, it is because you have notJiad very wide acquaintance. " Wholesale denunciation of all dramatists will never elevate the ,rama.Y6ttcler stand a church' and a theatre on opposite sides or the street. The church sh'Suts over to the theatre, "Ydu are alt scoundrels!" The theatre shouts back, "Yon are all hypo crites!" And theylioth falsify." dropping nil indiscriminate jeremiads- against dci. matists and realizing thut the drama is not necessarily connected with this institution or with that, I want to show you how- the dramatic element in our natures may ba harnessed to tho chariot of civilization nnd Christianity. """ ". tf .- Fifty essays about the sorrows of the P2?r couid not affect m a 4 little drama say back. But on the establishment of such an institution they would feel the arrest of their anxieties and would say on the establishment of this new institution, which I have called the spectacular, "Thank, God, this is what we have all been waiting for." Now, as I believe that I make suggestion of au institution which wiser men will develop, I want to give some characteris tics ot this new institution, this spectacu lar, if it is to be a grand social and moral success. In the first place, its entertain ments must be compressed within an hour and three-quarters. . What kljls sermons," prayers and lectures and entertainments of all sorts Is prolixity. At a ronsonable hour every night every curtain of public entertainment ought to drop, every church service ought to cease, the instruments ot orchestras ought to be unstrung. On the pinttorm of this new institution there will be a drama which before render ing lm9 been read, expurgated, abbreviated and passed upon by a board of trustees connected with this reformed amusement association. If there be ia a drama a sen tence suggosticg evil, it will bo stricken out. It there be in a Shakespearean play a word with two meanings a good meanina and a bad moaning another word will be substituted, an honest word looking only way. The caterers to public taste will havo to learn that Shakespearean nastiness is no better than Congrevean nastiness. You say, "Who will dare to change by expurga tion or abbreviation a Shakespearean play?" I dare. The board of trustees of this reformed amusement association will dare. It is no depreciation ot a drama the abbreviation of it. I would like to hear thirty or forty pages of Milton's "Paradise Lost" read at one time, but I should be very sorry te hear tho whole book read at one sitting. Abbreviation is not deprecia tion. On the platform of this new intiitniinn this spectacular, under thnnnrn nt H n vapv best men and women in the rtmmriritfv What 'OutWmentDi iront mere snail be nothing witnessed that would be untit for a parlor. Any attitude, any look, any word that would offend you seated at your own fireside, in your Tamily circle, will be prohibited from that plat forra. By what law of common sense or of morality does that which is not Ot to be seen or hoard by five people becomo fit to be seen or heard by 1500 people? On the platform ot that spectacular all the scenes of the drama will bi as chaste as was evet a ieeture by Edward Everett or a sermon by-F. W, Hobertsou. On that platform there shall be no carouser, no inebriate, no cyprian, no foe of good morals, masculine or femiuine.

Out of every ten employed by an officer, commanding a war district he is for tunate If one gives him truthful in formation.: It is a most important thing that spies should not be known to each other. Great care is generally taken by officers that each spy shall imagine that he is the only that is em ployed. It is very necessary that all ,bona-flde spies should have about their persons some means of proving: them selves really to be what they represent themselves. For this furppse a coin tof a certain date, a Bible of a certain edition, a testament with the seventh of fifteenth leaf torn jont are generally employed.,- By their means a spy who was employed in a neutral state, mak ing his way to the headquarters of the army - in " the field,' eould thus make himself known to the intelligence de partment there. In some instances it is con&Meredvthat" a sign or password should bef employed, as it is less com promiMng. ' The putting up of the right "hand to the ear and then to tho left ear, -or some such gesture, is gen erally employed. The more extensive the ramifications of the system the bet ter are the chancesfor escaping detec tion. It is very necessary that officers of tne intelligence department should be provided with specially prepared paper, upon which letters can be writ ten in ink that does not become visible until it. has been subjected to some chemical process. It is also necessary that a, letter in ordinary ink should in variably be written on the same paper containing the information that it is 'required to keep secret. Although a spy runs the great risk of immediate death If he is detected, yet the service is not without glory at times, and it is certainly extremely lucrative.

Of late years, since menageries have become common in large cities, the Importations of wild animals have greatly increased, and ships have car ried across the oc.;an cargoes of fierce tigers, lions, great apes and elephants with as much unconcern as though they were white rats or rabbits. Fa mous dogs and horses cost more money than wild animals, for while a blooded St. Bernard may bring $5,000 .a. well-grown lion can be bought for less than $1,000, and the prices in the .lion market never go over $1,200 for u gooa specimen, ine elepnant is a beast ,bf burden as well as a curiosity, anSd ;is therefore always valuable ac cording to his size and intelligence, A : well-trained elephant will bring $3,000, and the lowest price paid is $1,500." Bears live a long time and are not subject to many illnesses. A fine grizzly can be bought for $250. Gi raffes eost the most, $3,500 to $5,000 be ing' their Usual price. They are also jbo "delicate" that they have to be treat ed like-- a hot-house flower and die jery soon.
