As the closing of the grand religous drama, which has for its only rival tne German Passion Play, draws near, the crowds are becoming denser and the Interest keener. Many have Journeyed from the continent to look upon the pageant. The drama oDened on the 10th in the gardens of the bishop's palace at Kulham and will close on Thursday. Vast throngs have paid admission to see the marvelous production. A glimpse of the scenes gives one an en tirely adequate education in the pro gress of religion in England. The three large orders in which the gen eral scenes might be considered are iirst, early Christianity; second, Ro man Chrstlanity, and third, Anglican Christianity. The calendar was turned back ten centuries, metaphorically speaking and English eyes once again looked upon the Appointment of William the Conquerer; the signing of the Magna charta; the murder of BecUet and other historical incidents in the his tory of England, in which religion played its part. The exploitation- of the drama took up an entire day and ran into the night.
