FIRE MED CINE 00., London, Ont. 1673-12 • GOOD AND BAD PLAYS THE GOOD SHOULD BE CONSERVED AND THE BAD SUPPRESSED. DR, TALMAGE ON THE THEATRE, vomit Not Something.. Built .Outside of Ourselves, But That Which Is Planted In Our immortal Soultae4houl1. Bat Purified and Blade a Groat Source of Good Teaching. 'Miens ingtlon, March 18.—At a time when the whole country is m con- troversy as never before concerning the theatre, and sosne plays are be- -ng arrested by the police, and oth- ers are being patronized by Chris- tian people, thie sermon of Dr. Tal- niage is of much interest. The text Is I Corinthians vii, 81, "They that use this world as not abusing it." My reason for preaching this dis- course is that I have been kindly in- vited by two. of the leading news- papers oi the country to inspect and 'report on two of the popular plays of the day -to go some weeks ago to Chicago and see the drama "Quo Vadis" and criticise it with respect. to its moral effect and to go to New York and see the drama "BeneHur" and write my opinion of it for pub - 1:c use. Instead of doing 'that I pro- pose in a sermon to discuss what we shall do with the dramatic ele- ment which God has implanted in many of our natures, not in L3.0 or 100 or 1,000; but in the majority of 'the human race. Some people speak of ' the drama as though it were something built up- outside of Ourselves by the Congreves and the Goldsniiths and the .Shakespear es and the Sheridans of literture and. that then we attune our tastes to correspond With htunan inventions. , Not at all; The drama is an echo from the feeling which God ha -s, im- planted in our immortal Houle. It is seen first in the domestic circle among. the children. 3 or 4 years of age playing with their 'dolls seen their cradles and their , carts, ten years after in the playhouses of wood, ten years after in the parlor charades, after that in -the elabore ate impersonations in the academies of music. Shall we auppress it? You can as easily , suppress its Creator. You may !direct it, you may educate it, yeti may purify it, you may harness it - to Milltipotent usefulness, and that It is your duty to do. 'Just as we cultivate the taste for the beauti- ful and the stailime by. bird haunted glen and roistering stream and cat- aracts lit down in uproar over the mossed rocks, and the day lifting its banner of victory in thel east, iind then setting everything n fire as it retreats through the gates of the west, and -the Austerlitz .nd the Waterloo of an August 0 -fund rstorm blazing their batteries into a sultry afternoon, and the round, glittering Lear of a world' wet on the cheek of the night—as in this way we :GLIM- irate our taste for the beautiful and sublime, so in every lawful Way we are to cultivate the dramatic element in our nature, by every staccato pas- sage in literature, by antithesis and synthesis, by every tragic passage do human life. , Now, I tell you not only that God has implanted this draxnatic element in our natures, but I have to tell you in the Scriptures he cultivates it, he appeals to it, he develops it. I do not care where you open the Bible, your eye will fall upon a drama. Here it is in the book of Judges, the fir tree; the vine, the Olive tree, the bramble—they all make speeches. Then at the close of the scene there is a coronation, and the bramble is proclaimed king, That is a political drama,. Here it is ,in the book of Job: ,Enter Eli- pleaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihu and Job. The opening act of the drama, all darkness; the cloeing , act of the drama, all sunshine. Magnificent drama is the book cf Job! Here it is in Solomon'a Song. The region, an oriental region --es vine- yards, pomegranates, mountain' of myrrh, flock of sheep„ garden of fences, a wooing., a bride, a bridge - grown, dialogue after edialogue--in- tense, gorgeous, all suggestive 'drama Is the book Of Solomon's Song. Here it is in the book of LukeCostly man- sion in the night! All the windows bright with elluminationf The floor a -quake with the dance. Returned son in costly garments which do not very well : fit him perhaps, for they were not made for him, but he retest swiftly leave off his old garb wad prepare for this extemporiied levee! Pouting soh .at the baok door, too mad to go in; because they are inek- ing such a fusel ITeare of sympathy running down the old man's cheek at the story of his son's wancieringatend. suffering and tears of joy at hiS re- turn! When you heard Murdock re- cite "The Prodigal Son" in one of his readings, you did not know whe- ther to sob or- shout. 'Revivals of religion have karted just under the reading of that' soul retvolutionizing- drama of"Thes2Prodigal Son." Here it is in the book of Revela- tion: Crystalline sea, pearly gate„ opaline river, amethystine capstone,' showering coronets, one vial poured out ire:ex/lading the waters, cavalry- men of heaven galloping on white horses, nations in doxology, taille- luiahs to the right cif them, hallelu- iahs to the left of th-em. As ...ehe Bible opens with the Flrama 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 the - ()logy is of the Oldest type — 500 years old, thousauds of years old, as old as the Bible. When I speak of the drama at the beginning- and close of the' Bible, I do zot. mean an allegory, but I mean th truth so stated that in grouping nd in start- ling effect it is a God even, world resounding, heaven echeing drama. Now, if God implanted this drama- tic •gement in our natualls, and if he has cultivated and developed it, in the Scsiptures, -1 demaxid that you recognize it. Because the drama has. again and again been ,degraded and employed for destructive -purposes is nothing against Lhe _drama, any more than music ought to be accursed because it has been taken again and again into the saturmilian . wassails of 4,- 000 ,years, Will you refase to en - isthrone m ic ion the church organ because the art. has been trampled again and laiain under the feet of the lascivious ' dance? Fifty essays ,about the sorrows of the poor could not affect me as a -little drama .of accident and suf- fering I saw one slippery morning in the streets of Philadelphia Just ahead of me was a lad, wretchedin apparel, his limb • amputated at the knee; from the pallor of the boy's cheek, the amputatIon not long be- fore. lite 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 pave- ment, cautiously and careftilly, I steadied hbn until his crutch slipped and fell. I helped him up as weir as I could, gathered up the fragments of the package as well as I could,. . put them under one arm and .the crutch ,under the other arm. But when 1 saw the blood run down his pale cheek I burst into tears. Fifty essays about the sufferings of the poor could not touch one like that little drama of accident and suffer- ing. Qh, we want in all oir different departments of usefulnesS more of the dramatic element and iless of the didactic. The tendency ii thie day Is to drone religio'n, to twhine reli- gion, to cant religion, • to I sepulcher- ize religion, when we ought to pre- sent it ine animated- and Spectacular manner. Let me say to all young_ministers of the gospel: If you have this dramatic element in your nature, time it f or God and heaven. If you will go home and look over the his- tory of the church, you will find that those men have brought more sciuls to Christ. who ha,vo been dra- matic. Rowland Hill, dramatic; Thomas Chalmers, dramatic; Thomas Guthrie, dramatic; John Knox dra- matic; Robert McCheyne, drama- tic; Christneas Evans, dramatic; George Whitefield, dramatic; Robert Hall, dramatic; Robert South, dra- matic; BoUrdaloue, dramatic; Fene- Ion, dramatic; John Mason, drama- tic. When you get into the minis- try, if you attempt to cultivate that element and try to wield it for God, you will meet with mighty rebuff and caricature, and ecclesiastical counsel .will take your case in charge, and they will try to put, you down. But the God who s -tarts you will help you through, and great \will be the eternal. rewards for the assiduous and the plucky. Itev. Dr. Bellows of New York many years ago, in a very brilliant but. rauel criticised sermon, took the po- sitio that the theatre might be re- novated and made auxiliary to the church. Many -Christian people are of the same opinion. 1 -do not agree with them. I have no idea. that suc- cess is in this direction. , What I have said heretofore on this subject, as far as I remember, is 'my senti- ment now. But to -day I take a step in advance of my former theory. Christianity is going to take full possession of this world and control its maxims, its laws, its. literature, its science and its amusements. Shut out from the realm of Christianity anything, and ybu give it up to sin and death. - If Christianity is mighty enough to Manage everything but the amuse- ments of the world, then it is a very defective Christianity. Is it capable of keeping account of the fears of the world and incompetent to make re- cord of its smiles? Is it good to fol- low the funeral, but dumb at the world's piny? Can it control all the other elements of our nature but, the dramatic element? My idea of Christ- ianity is that it can and will con- quet everything. In the good time eorning, which the world calls the golden age and the poet the elysian age and ,the Christian the millennium, we have positive announcement that the amusements. of the World are to be under Christian sway. "Holiness& shall be upon the bells of the hor- sds," says one prophet. There are tens of thousands of Christian homes where .the sons and daughters are held beak from dra- matic entertainment for reasons which some 'of you would say aretgood rea- sons and others -Would say are .poor reasons, but still held' back. :But on the establishment, of . such an institu- tion 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 sug- gestion ef an institution which wiser men j will develop, I want to give some characteristics *1 this new in- stitution, t is spectacular, if it is te bat a grand ocial and moral suc- cess. In the first place, its entertain- ents must be ecompressed within an our and three-quarters. What Mlle Sermons, prayers and lectures, and en- tertainments of all sjorts is prelixity. At a reasonable hear every night every curtain of public eatertainineeit eught to drop, every church service ought to cease, the instruments ef orchestras ought to be unstrung. lWahteat comes more than this conies too On the platform of this new insti- tution this spectacular, under the care of the very best men and wo- men in the community there shall be nothing witnessed that would be un- fit for a parlor.' Any attitude, any look, any word that would offend you seated at your own fireside in your family circle will be prohibited from that platform. By what law of common sense or of morality does that which is, not fit to be seen , or heard by five people beceme fit to be seen or heard by 1,500 people? On the platform of that spectacular all the scenes of the drama will be as chaste as was ever a lecture by Ed- ward Everett or a sermon by F. W. Robertson. On the platform shall come only such men, and women as you would welcome to your homes. On that platform there shall be no carouser, no inebriate, no cyprian, rio foe of good morals, masculine or fem- inine. It is often said we have - no right to criticise the Private mor ls of public entertainers. Well, do Jas You please with other institutions, on the platform of this new institu- tion we shall have only good men and good won* in the ordinary ,pecial sense of goodness, Just as ,soon as the platfOrm of the spectacu- lar is fully and fairly established many a genius who hitherto has sup- pressed the dramatic element in his nature because he could not find the realm in which to exercise it will step over on the plat form, and giants of the drama, their naine known the world over, who have been toiling for the elevation of the drama, will step over on that platform—such we - men as Charlotte Cushman of the past, such men! as. Joseph Jefferson of the present. The platform of that new institu- .tion, of that expurgated drama, coo- ,\ eupied only by these purest of men and women, will draw to itself inil- lion� of people whb have never been to see the drama more than, once or twice in their lives, or never saw it at all. That institution Will combine the best music, the best architecture, the best genius six nig ts the week on the side of intellige ice and good morals. Do you tell me this pl n is chimeri- cal? I answer, it only requires one man somewhere betw en here and - San "Francisco or between Bangor and. Galveston to see it and appreciate it —one man of large Ind vidual means and great heart, And with $100,000 he could do more good •an all the Lenexes and the leawre ces and the reabodys ever accom Belled.. He would settle for all nat ons and for • all times the etupenciou question of amusement Which for nturies has been under angry and vituperat ive discussion and whiek is o nearer be- ing settled to -day, by all appear- ances, than it was at t e start.. I would go to such a institution, such a spectacular. 1 e ould go once a week the • rest .of my 1 fe and take my family with me, and the majority of the families of the ea th would go to such an institution. 1 expect the time will come when I an, without bringing upon myself cri icism, with- out being an inconsistent Christian, when I, a minister of tl e ! good old Presbyterian church, wi l be able to go to some. new Institut on like this, the spectacular, and e "Hamlet" and "King Lear" and ie "Merchant of Venice" and the "Hunchback" and "Joshua Whitcomb." Me nwhile many, of us will have this dra, atic elernt unmet and -unregaled. We want this institution indep nd- ent of the church and 1 dependent of - theatre. The church tr es to cm - promise this' matter, nd in churches there are dra natie exhibi- tions. Sometimes they call them charades+, sometimes the call the.m magic lantern exhibition --entertain- ments for which you pa 50 cents, the 50 cents to go for t e support of some charitable instituti re. An ex- temporized stage is p tt, •up in the church . or in the loritui room, and there you go and see Da id and the giant and Joseph sol into Egypt andi little Samuel awok , the -chief difference between the xhibition in the church and the exhi ition in the theatres being that the xhibitionin the theatre is more skill ul. Now let us have a ne institution, with expurgated drama nd with the surroundings, I have sp ken of—an institution which we can without so- phistry and without sI! deception support and patronize—a institution so un.compromisingly go d that we ean attend it without al y shock to our religious sensibilities, though the Sabbath before we sat t the, holy sacrament. The amusements of life are beauti- ful and they are valuab e, but they cannot pay you for the oss of your soul. I could not tell y ur charac- ter, I could not tell yo ir prospects for this world or the nexi by the par- ticular church you attend, but if you will tell' me where you were last night and where you we -e the night before and where you h ve been the nights of the last month I think I could guess where you will spend eternity. As to the drama of yo mine, it will soon end. ,be no 'encore to bringgus beginning of that drama a cradle, at the end of i a grave. The first act, last act, farewell. The acts, .banquet and battle, bridal and funeral, songs lieugh.ter and groans. • It was not original w peare when ha said, "All stage and all the -men and women merely players."

I did not get abar enough to shoot with my re- volver, so I borrowed a fellow's rifle and had a shot with the rest of thi boys to be in it,. We then took the Boer camp, along with three wagons of ammunition and lots of rifles. We made the Boer prisoners burn the ammunition end saddles, We le ok their tents and supplies with us. Two of the Australians were killed and some were wounded. I had the honor- of sounding the "guard" salute and the "last post" as the. firing party presented arms over the graves of the two boys who were killed. (Inc Was shot through the heart and one 'through the bowels." A Soft Unite In Texas. About 3()0 miles soli t hwest of Houston, Texas, in Hidalgo County, is now claimed to be one of the most. remarkable salt lakes in the world. This Juice, whieh contains 788 acres of wire salt , is surrounded by a, w ild fringe of dense thiekets. The salt is three to four feet deep in a crystal' form, and the water is a brine of -unusual strength, crystallizing with great rapidity. But few people outside of the State know of the existence of this lake; in fact, nearly all Texas maps omit it, although it has. been known to lie a source of supply for local consump- tion over 200 years; wagon trains moving in the southwest to and from Brownsville, during the American Civil War, handled the salt; in fact,1 it Was the only supply that Texas had to draw from during that per_e iod. The propert y on which this lake is situated consists of a iract of 71 leagues of land, .originallea'Snown as -La Nutria de an Salvador del Tule," and claimed to have be -en granted by the Government of Spain about the year 3798 to ohe Juan Jose Belli. - Sin•let ni:•.11nsto•iim Unearthed, The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad is spending in the neighbor- hood of two- million dollars in reduc- ing 'grades and straightening- curves' on its main line between Chicage and Omaha. Al, Rome, Ia., the line crosses the Skunk River, and there a, gang of men have been employed ex- cavating for the foundations of a mew double -track iron bridge. At a point_ fifteen feet, below the river bed, under the quicksand, and 'just above the blue clay strata, they came across a T-shaped bone three feet high and four feet eight inches wide. It was taken outand carried in the tool ear to Batavia, where it now is. Those who have since eXamined the bone pronounce it to be `undoubtedly pars of the skeleton of an animal of prehistoric. timee, probably that of mastodon. Utilizing Putrid Meat. In France nothing is allowel to go to waste. .Meat unfit for food and the bodies of animals that have died of disease are extensively used for the manufacture of Super -phos- phates. The meat le placed in a vat containing sulphuric acid, which se-- parates the resulting nitrogenous pro- duct from the fate. In the course of forty-eight howl; the fat alone re- mains, and ;the animalized Sulphiirie acid, rich in nitrogenc.us substances, is 'drawn off and sent through an undergrou.nd conduit to 'the super- phosphate factory. Thus, instead of the unsanitary method of burying such putrid substances directly in the ground, they are effectually disposed of by the complete destruction of all- injorieue germs, and 'there results a product available in the manufacture of a valuable fertilizer. Now to Preserve Flowers. The use of a. 'Solution of gum ara- bic and water may be extended to preserve flowers as wall as a,utumn leaves. Dissolve five cents' worth of guni arabic in a pint bowl of warm water and let stand until there is ne sediment at the bottom. This will take several hours. The blossoms that are to be preserved are then dipped lightly in the solu- tion and shaken out before they aro suspended by a string to drip. As soon as the fiewers has dried, dip again and anew it to dry again, re- peating the process five or six times. Tke color aad form of blooms thus treated are remarkably preserved. Corduroy in Upknisterli4. The popularity of eorduroy as ,an upholstery fabric .ifs well founded.

Mr. .Alexander Ross, of Brucefield, made over $50 out of a 50c package of Fear's Condition Powder. Every farmer who uses it once never buys any other. CHEAPEST Because a teaspoonfur of it is all you feed at once—all other powders require a tablespoonful.ogetthree y pounds for 500, or seven pounds for $1.00. This is the time to use it. Mr. Wm. Fortune had a horse that he could not feed into condition, be- cause its legs always broke out. He tried Fear's Condition Powders at last, and before Christmas sold his horse for $150. BEFO E USING.
