KVENIN G TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 18G7. THE DAIL1 SHAKESrEABS AND SCRIPTURE To the minds of manr there may seem to be the con unotion of Shake- All IncongTUiv - - BAP,.tB(1 wUh ...r and Scripture. V H O JO .1 y . - f. la worldly. frivolous, vain, even Verl theotner wiw " -o-- - mc enly and holy, xei, mm " touch each otuer very neanj. ttlpV Bpoivc", . v actiona. thwir Both deal wivu auKsand paflBlone, their sorrows and songs. Both eet forth, not by mere precept, but by striking example, the solemn truth that the way of the transgressor is hard. Both show the greatness of goodness, the splendor 0 rarity, the beauty of holiness. Nevertheless, the Bible is entitled to far the highest place. Deep as the great master of the drama goes into the secrets of the heart, keen as is his rerception of the hidden springs of action, faithful as is his report of what he has seen and known, the oracles of God go deeper, see more plainly, report more faithfully. His works are the result of consummate art; the book of books is the sum of nature. In Shakespeare's soheme the superhuman has a place, because he did not and could not over look or neglect that element of the mind which yearns towards the sphere of the invisible. The witches in Macbeth, "Ariel" in the Tern vest the hosts from fairy-land in A Midsummer Audi's Dream, are proofs of this. It is need less to say that in the Scriptures the super natural comes in not merely to accommodate a condition of the soul, but also to account for it. The Bible is not a work of imagination, shapiug the possible out of the materials fur nished by the actual; it is a history recounted by men who have beheld the seen and the un seen, and been enabled to perceive the union between the two. The productions of Shake ppeare are the fruit of alofty mind; the books of the Bible were born of intellect exalted by the transfusion of the Spirit of God. It must not be forgotten, either, in consider ing the greatness of Shakespeare, that he had access to the magnificent poetry, the touching pathos, the clear individualization with which the Scriptures abound. That he was wise enough to avail himself of them would be a reasonable conclusion from his literary habits, were there no clear traces of the influence they exercised upon him. The man who took the plots of Boccaccio's novels, and created the- characters necessary to work them out, in a manner perfectly natural, to their conclusion ; who laid under contribution the writers of his own time as well as those of antiquity, gather ing materials of thought everywhere, but putting the stamp of his own genius upon the zou"h metal whensoever derived tal man Could not have neglected the wonderful vol ume which is unrivalled even as a literary per formance. That he did not despise this treasure nor fail to use it is evidenced by phrases in his plays borrowed almost bodily from Holy Writ. It is still further evidenced in the delineation and development of certain characters which bear a marked similarity to JJiblieal personages. This is most strik ingly shown in the tragedy of Macbeth, that Scottish king whose dark history presents so many points of resemblance to that of Saul, the unhappy monarch of Israel. Both these men are physically brave, with natures displaying certain trn.no of utmirnv, hoik have stood face to lace with death in clanging battle, "and have not wavered; but loth are, morally, cowards. They have no Strength, no courage to oppose temptatiou; they yield themselves willing captives to every evil suggestion. Macbeth would be a king, and at the prompting of ambition murders his kinsman, guest, and monarch, that he may reach the throne. Saul, being a king, pre sumptuously arrogates to himself the othoe f priest, and dare3 to amend the strict and explicit command of God. At nilgai h voided to his impatience, and Offered sacrifice before going to battle, instead of waitincr for Samuel, whose right it was to present the offering before the Lord. When he smote the Amalekites, he took Agag their Icins alive, instead of putting him to the Bword as Jehovah required. If ambition was Macbeth's spur to crime, presumption was the goad that drove Saul to great oiTense3 against that Divine Ruler whose agent he was. lie thoneht himself sufficient for any office, and esteemed himself wise beyond the wisdom of tha Alrniehtv, Vor this the prophet warned him that the kingdom should not continue to his house, tout be given to another. So also Macbeth by prophecy held a "barren sceptre in his grasp, no son of his succeeding." Both are under the influence of evil spirits ; lor the weird sisters, or witches as they are commonly called, had power over M cbeth, -mnvincr him to wicked purposes and atrocious ants ! and from Saul "the Spirit of the Lord departed, and an evil spirit troubled him, so that his heart was full of dark intentions, and his hand was eacer for bloody deeds." As all srood and holy influences departed from the llebrew king, leaving him under the control cf evil, so in the play we behold Macbeth for saken by all of good and left in awful bondage to his sins : "There's one did laugh In his sleep, and one cried, Murder I That tliey did wake each other: I stood and heard them : But they did buy their prayers, and addressed them Again to sleep. lsdy M. There are two lodged together. Hue One cried, God bless u.' and A men, the other j As they bad seen me with those hanginau'g liUUllB LlHtenlnic their fear. I could not say, Amen, "When they did say, God bless us ! J-aOy J. Consider It not so deeply. Xiao. But wherefore could I not pronounce Amen ? I had most need of blessing, aud Amen stuck lu lay throut." If ever there was a man forsaken of God, it iras that bloody-Lauded Thane. When I)avid had returned from the slaugh ter of Goliath, triumphal processions met him With music and soug. 'Saul," said they, "'has slain hia thousauds, and David his ten thousands." The quick Jealousy of the king took alarm, and whispered to him con cerning the ruddy stripling, "What can he have more but the kingdom?" From that day tho mouarch sought the warrior's life. When the witches pro phesied that Macbeth should be king, they also foretold that Bauquo, his companion and iiur.tr.ldier. should be the father of kings. This was enough to fill the trembling soul of .1... nu,,r,- with distrust auci lear oi uia ,nr frinrt! and the hands that murdered 4i. auA V in ir could not rest until they had clutched the life of hiin whose children were to be rovul. David escaped the rage of his lord, bnt'Banquo fell before the jealousy of his sometime comrade. . To both these men there came the sullenng hich sin brines in its train; to Macbeth, remorse, the anguishing sunse of insecurity in ,i. nlar an wiukedlv obtained, the hatred for those who fill hia soul with fears, the mad l, i.uwlrt him see the ghost of Kanouo at the feast; to haul, ti trrnra of A Kuilty eonsoienoe, 4t,. that his kingdom was to be v. fr-m and civen to snothHr. til fell def ire for David's life, the melancholy insanity which often settles in the guilty mind. In deep distress, both wish to look into the future and descry what yet awaits them; both seek out witches, that they may obtain the infor mation they deRire. But the Scottish monarch sought those to whom alone he could go, those midnight hags whose prophecy had led him on to its fultil ment, find who, he judged, could tell him what was yet to be. Saul had possessed other means of knowing the future, and had em ployed them, but iu vain. He had inquired of the I,o d, but the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by pro phets. No details are civen; we do not look in upon the woiKings 01 saui s miua a3 we ao in the case of Macbeth, yet from the hints supplied we can easily conceive his forlort and Titiablo condition. Day alter aay ne knocked at Heaven's gate and waited for such replies as had come in other days, but waited in vain. Day after day he id great questions, as it were, into the ear of God, but received no answer save the echo of his own importunate words. Breathless anxiety deepened into unutterable anguish, hope deferred made the heart sick; the foul of the Lord's anointed was whelmed ami sunk in woe as the awful truth grew plainer aud plainer that the Lord had forsaken f ,.ll I 1. J 1 ....J r.1 IT.,o.r.,n'i mm. VI ail linn lie uwiiuustiitigu ui jxoiYcu o help and guidance; but Heaven to hiua was voiceless, he h;id lost his former hold upon it. He must turn, therefore, to those wno, um himself, were the objects of God's anger and vekgeauce. bmce good had lea him, ne must learn from evil. He bade his servants seek out a woman who had a familiar spirit, that he might inquire of her. They told him of such an one who dwelt at Endor, a village about sixty miles north of Jerusalem. So Macbeth, stained with Banquo's murder as well as Duncan's; haunted by his con science, which evoked the slain chieftain from his bloody resting-place by the road-side, and seated him at a banquet in the palace; know ing that all men suspected and hated him; without human counsellors on whom he could rely, or human sympathizers whom he dared wholly trust; resolved in his hour of deep necessity to seek the witches with whom he bad before trafficked in affairs of death. "I nm bent to know Jiy tho worst means, the worst." The next morning, when he meets them'' at the pit of Acheron, his language shows the desperate determination of one whose hope of Heaven is utterly gone, and who seeks aid and counsel from the powers of hell: "Thougn the treasure Of nature's Kerrulns tumble all tofjother, Kven till destruction slcu.cn, answer mo xo wmii i asK your' The king of Israel disguised himself and put on other raiment, and, accompanied only by two of his servants, journeyed through the land until by night thoy came to the woman at Endor. Then he demanded that she should by her familiar spirit, bring up him whom he should name. The woman, perhaps suspect ing to whom that tall form belonged, and natu- rally distrustful of any stranger, since Saul bad put to death all who were known to have practised with familiar spirits, refused to em ploy her art until by the most solemn oatns her safety had been assured. There is iu this a remarkable coinoidunoe witu ot.iinn nxiRtnin,l Iy tlie tlOOttlSll Thane to the weird sisters. The popular sup position is that Macbeth was tempted by them to his bloody deeds, but the text show3 that they were rather tempted byniui. in ibe opening of the tragedy they throw them selves in his way: but it is because they re cognize in httfi a secret influence which attracts them. Floating hither and thither in search of methods aud instruments of wioked ness, they are drawa towards the successful wariior as the lightning in a wandering cloud is drawn towards a rod of steel. A bidden affinity exists between these secret, black, aud midnight hags and the seeniiugly frank and generous Thane of Glamis. Meeting him and Bauquo on the blasted hcnth, they make no reply to the latter captain, "each her choppy linger laying upon her skinny lips;" but at Macbeth's command they respond, not in answering his query as to what they are, but in oracular proclamation of his present and future titles: "All hall, Macbeth, that Bhalt be kins hore alter !" At the words he starts like one whose secret thoughts have been unfolded, whose dim aud half-lorined purpose has been revealed, who hears plainly and loudly spoken what hitherto has been only faintly aud vaguely whispered in the dark chambers of his heart. It is the chemical solution bringing into view the image lying unseen upon the sensitive plate of the photographer. Thane of Cawdor he had not thought to be, but the mention of kingly honor and estate was like the recurrence of some dim, almost forgotten dream. In a moment messengers arrive from the kiDg announcing to Macbeth that he is made Thane of Cawdor, the former owner of that title having been condemned to death for trea son. It would seem reasonable and natural that, the first prediction having been thus ful filled without step or action on his part, he might well have been content to wait -for the coming of the greater honor foretold by the same authorities. But instead of that, he leaps at once to a bloody and dreadful conclusion, lie will murder Duncan, and so succeed to his high ollice: "My thouKht, whoso murder yet Is but fantas tical." Only a man bad in grain, utterly selfish, aud with an outraged conscience, could or would rush into such a cruel and bloody way in the absence of any suggestion to that effect. The witches made no mention ot murder; they but prophesied that he should bj king. The fulfilment of their first prediction that he should be "Thane or Cawdor" fol lowed upon the very heels of their foretelling. They judged rightly in supposing that the mere mention of kingly honors would be a talismanio word hanging into life aud power the latent evil of his nature. Wicked them selves, they felt the subtle power of inherent and controlling wickedness in mm, aud sought him of kin with themselves. Uncon sciously but truly he first allured and tempted tueHe wicked ones, and was then deceived and misled by them. Bo Haul tempts the witch of Endor. She would iiU use her art until by oaths aud pro mises he had prevailed upon her. Then she proceded to ler task. We are not told what charms, what forms of iacantation she employed, yet such there doubtless were. The bubbling caldron with its loathsome ingredients, the rhythmic chant with its un meaning words, are not given in the Bible as they are in the tragedy. Nothing of the gro tesque or ludicrous comes in to mar the solemn interest of the scene. At laBt, as in the play various apparitions rise, so from the dust of the earth iu the witch's hut rose up a dim and Shadowy figure, evidently a visitor from an other world. In all the play there is nothing more thrilling than that shriek of the woman of lvndor as she perceived that her mummeries had really taken effect. In the scene that fol lows, the terror of the woman, the anxiety of Hani, tha oouoquy WJiwen ia utujjt. u dead, with its dread prophecy of ruin to tho king and his people, surpass in power and even in dramatic effect the eagerness of Mac beth, the scornful triumph of the witches, and the paltering in a double sense of those weird Bisters, who spoke fair-pounding words hiding a fatal meaning. Nor is there in all the tragedy anything bo pathetio as the view of Saul when tho dead prophet has ended his prediction. That tall form fell like a ruined tower, the locks once anointed with sacred oil, grown grey and scant, mingling with the dust of the poor hovel. Out of heart aud hands the strength had gone", and fear filled them with trembling. Aud then comes in a touch of that nature which makes the whole world kin. The woman comes to him, and seeks to comfort him, entreating him to arise and eat. The proscribed and hunted witch, feared and shunned of men, save those who follow evil, nevertheless yearnB with her woman's heart over the crushed monarch, and Btrives to console him who has no other comforter. It is more touching than Iar, the old aud outcast king, consorting with the fool and seeking shelter with the madman. A point of similarity comes into view in the final scene of these two histories. Hard pressed on every side, with his sons slain alicmt him, wounded by the archers and sorely hurt, bidding his armor-bearer slay him, and, refused, falling upon his own sword, Saul perished upon Mount Gilboa. So Macbeth, torsaken of men and of God, mourning for his dead ciueen. ilvine from the conquering host, thought to die by his own weapon, and fell at last upon the heights of Dunsinane. In this drama occurs also one of the pas sages in which Shakespeare borrows the lan guage of Scripture, almost word for word. In the sacred history God sends a messenger to Eli with warning of woe upon his house hold. In the message these words are found: "And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to con Hime thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart.,t In Macbeth'B last interview with the witches he dtmands to know if Banquo's children shall ever reign as kings. They make reply: "Show his eyes and grieve his heart." For pathos and sublimity, for noble thoughts and lofty examples, for heroic deeds and holy words, for comfort and for wisdom, we may search Shakespeare with splendid results. But for all these and more, let us Bearch the Scrip tures too, since therein holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Northern Monthly. GAS FIXTURES.
