RELIGIOUS DRAMA
The religious drama “Whatsoever
Ye Sow” presented in James Street
United Church on Sunday evening
last drew a crowd which taxed the
seating capacity of the. auditorium
with the exception of the wings
where the- view was obstructed. The
drama was presented from a large
’platform with an attractive setting
and those taking part dressed in co
lorful costume. It portrayed a
wealthy Hebrew prince, whose debt
ors were many and who showed no
mercy, demanding an eye for eye
and a tooth for a tooth, In his de
mand. for the payment of the utter
most farthing he enslaves two sons
of one of his defaulting debtors who
in turn throws something into the
eyes of the prince robbing him of
his sight. The prince had fallen in
love with a beautiful Jewess who
scorned him because of his lack of
mercy. Coming in contact with the
Nazerene the prince is .healed of his
blindness and he learns what love
and 'mercy mean and his life
those of his household were
pletely changed. The drama is very
effective and the whole cast ' of
characters carried off their parts
exceedingly well. The drama was the
repetition of a part of the program
given at the recent Sunday School
entertainment.
