At a time when the whole oouutry Is In eoutroveny as never before eonnnrnlua; the tlientnr and some plavs are being nrreated by the polloe and others are beliiR putronlKod by (JUrlxtlnn people tbla sermon of Dr. Tulmnun Is of muttli Interest. The text Is I Corinthians vil., 81, "They that use Hi is vorld as not abualog it," My reason for prennhing this dlseonrse Is tlint I have bn kliully Invited by two of the InndloR oewspnpers ol this country to Inspect anil report on two of the popular plays ol the day to HO some weeks ego to Chioiiffo end see the drama "Quo Vadls" and criticise It with respent to its moral ef foot and to fto to New York i.nd see the drnmn "Oen-llur" and write my opinion of it lor publlo ue. Iustend ol doing that t propose In a nermon to dlsouss what w Rhnll do with the ilrninntle element wbloh Ood lilts Itnplnnted in miiny of our natures not In ten or 100 or 1000, but In the vast lmiiorlty of the humeu race. Home people spiiuk ot tho drama hk though It were something built up outside of ourselves by the Congreves and the (loldsmltlts and the Hhnkoieiires nud the HUerldnns ot lltnrnturo nud thut then wo uttune our tastes to Ourrespond (wlth humnn Inven tlouD. Not at all. The drama Is an eelio from the lenllng wliloU Ood bus Implanted In our lui mortal souls. It Is senn llrst In tho (loimiilk1 clrele among tho ehlldrou three or four yenrs ot ago playing wltU their dolls and their erndlns and their onrts, sen ten years after In tue plnyhouset of wood, teu yeurs after In the purlorcharades, after thut lu the elaborute im personations In tho nondemlrs ol music. Tbnepls and Ssnliy lus uud Uophocles and Euripides merely dramntlr.eii what was In the Ureek heart; Tereuoe acid I'lautus aud Hnneoa merely dramatized what whs In the ltoman heart; Cougreve and Farquhar merely dramatized what was In the English neart; Hiiclne, C'oruellle and Alllerl only dra nstlned what was In the French and Itnllan heurt; Nhakespeiire only dramatized what was In the groat world's heart. The dltliyrambio and classlo drama, the sentimental drama, theromnntio drama, were merely oohoea of the liuinuu soul. I do not speak of the drama on the pootlo elielf or ot the drama lu the playhouse, but 1 speak of the driiuintlo elumunt In your houl aud mine. Wo uinke men responsible for It. They nre not renpouslljle. Thy are rerpouslble for the perversion of It, but not for the original Implantation. Ood did thut work, and I supuose He knew what Ho wits about when iln made us. We are marly all moved by the spectacular. When on Thauksglvlng Day we deeornte our cliurehes with the cotton and the rlue and the apples and the wheat and the rye and the oat, our gratitude to Ood Is ntlrred; when ou Ea-itnr moruiug we sue wrlttmi In letters of flowers the luxorlptlon, "He Is Itlsen," our emotions are stirred. Every parent likes to go to the school exhibition, with Its recitations and its dialogues and lis droll costumes. The torchlight pro cession of the political campaign Is merely the dramatization of principles Involved. No Intelllgont man can look lu any seoular or religious direction without finding this dramatic element revealing, unrolling, demonstrating lteelf. What shall we do with it? fcthnll we suppress it? Yon can as enally suppress Its Creator. You may dlmot It, you may educate It, you may purify It, you may harness It to multi-potent useful ness, aud that It Is your duty to do, Just as wecultivato taste for tho beautiful aud sublime, Now, I have to tell you not only that Ood has implanted this dramatic element lu our natures, but I have to tell you In the Scriptures llo cultivates It, Heappealstolt, He develops It. I do not care where you open the lilble, your eye will full upou a drama. Here It Is In the book of Judges, the Or tree, the vine, the olive tree, the bratnblo they nil make spoeohes. Then at the close of the scene there Is a corona tion, aud the brnmble Is proclaimed king. That Is a political drama. Here It la lu the book of Job. Enter Kllpiiua, Dlldud, Zophur, Eilhu and Job. The opening act of the drama, nil darkness; the closiug act ot the drama, all sunshluo, Maguill eent drama Is the book of Job. Here It Is in Holomon'sMong tho region, an oriental region: Vineyards, poinugra uules, inouutulu ot myrrh, flock of sheep, gurden of spices, a woolug, a bride, a bride groom dialogue after dialogue luteuse, gorgeous, all suggustlvednunu la the book of Uoloinou's Hong. Here It Is In the book otLuke: Costly mauslon In the night. All the windows bright with Illumination. The noor a-quuxe with the dnnou. Iteturaed son In costly garments which do not vory well Ot him perhaps, for they were not made for him, but ho roust awlftly leave oft his old garb and prepuro for this extem porized levee. I'uutiug sou at the back door, too mad to go lu, beonuse they are making such a fuss. Tears of sympathy running down the old muu's cheek at the story of his son's wandering and suffering and tours of Joy at hlsrn.'urn. When yon heard SI unlock lenite "The Prodigal Hon" In one cf bis readings, you did not know whether to sob or shout. Itevivnls ot re ligion have started Just uuderthe rending oi that soul revolutionising drama of "The Vrodigul Hon." Here It Is la the book of Revelation crystalline bou, pearly gato, opaline river, amethystine capstone, showering oorouets, one vlul poured out Inoardlnatlug the wa ters, cavalrymou of heuven galloping on white dorses, nations In doxoiogy, hallelu iahs to the right ot them, halleluiahs to the left of them. As tbo bible opens with the drama of the llrst paradise, so It closet with the drama ot tho aeeoud paradise. Mind you, when I say drama I do not menu myth or fuble, for my theology Is ot the oldest type 500 years old, thousands ot years old, us old as the Ulble. Wheu I speak of the drama at the beginning and clcso of tho Mlble, I do not mean an allegory, but I mean the truth so stated that In grouping and In startling effect It la a Ood giveu, world resounding, heaven echoing drama. Now, if Ood Im planted this dramatic element In our na tures, and If lie has cultivated nud devel oped It lu the Scriptures, I deiuaud thut you reoognlze it, Because the drsmu bits nt?nln and again been degraded uud employed for destruc tive purposes Is nothing against the drama uuy more than muslo ought to be accursed because it has beeu tukeu again and again Into the saturnallao wassails of 4000 years. Will you refuse to enthrone music on the church organ becauio the art hut been trampled ngalc nnd again under the feet of the lascivious dancer It Is nothing agalust painting and sculp ture that lu Corluth, and Uerouluneum they were demonstrative ot vulgarity and turpitude. The dreadful museum at Pom pell shall throw no discredit on Pow ers' "Greek Hlave" or Church's "Heart of the Andes" or Uubons's "De scent From the Cross" or Aogelo'f "Last Judgment." The very fact that again aud again the drama has been dragged through the sewers of InlquHy Is the reason why we should snatch It up and start It out on a grand and a holy and a magultlccut mission. Let me say at this point lu my sermon that the drama will never bo lifted to Its rightful sphere by those people who have not sense enough to distinguish be tween tue drama and the playhouse. The drama is no more the theatre than a hymn book Is a church. I am not speakiug lu regard to the theatre at all. The drama is a literary expression of that feeling which Ood Implanted In the human soul. Neither will the drama ever be lifted to Its proper sphere by wholesale deuuuoliUioa of all diaaatlsts. If you havu uot known men ud women connected with thu drama who ire pure lu heart uud pure tn speech and pure lu life, It it because you have uot bad rery wide uouuuiutauee. Wholesale denunciation of all dramatists will never elevate the drama. Youder Hand a ohurch and a theatre ou opposite Ides of the street. The ohurch shouts over :o the theatre, "You are nil aooundrelsl" the theutreshonta back, "You are all hypo. jrllesl" And they botli falBily. Dropping ill Indiscriminate Jeremiads ugalust dra matists and realizing that the drama Is uot necessarily oonneoted with tills luslltutluu ar with that, I want to show you how the iramutlo element In our natures may be harnessed to thu oharlot of elvllUatlou aud Christianity, Fifty essuys about the sorrows el th poor eould .t nffeot mu as a l.ttle drama tt occbittut.tj.d nutljrluK l caw ot tJ'U- pory morning in tna itreoti ot r.iiiartei. pliiu. Just ahead of me was a lad, wretnh d In apparel, bis limb amputated at the knee; from the puller of the boy's cheek, the amputation not long before. He bad a package of broken food under bis nrm food he had begged, I suppose, nt Hie Jootn. As he passed on over the slippery pavement, cautiously and ourerully, I iteadled hlra until his orutah slipped and he fell, I helped him up as well a 1 oould, gathered op the fragments of the package as well as I eould, put them muter one arm nnd the crutch under the other arm, but when I saw the blood run down his pale cheek I hurst Into tears. Fifty essays about the sufferings of the poor could not lonch one like that llttledruma ot acoldent aud suffeilng. Oh. we want In nil our different depart meats of usefulness morn of the dramatic element nnd iVss of the illdiintl.i. The tendency In this day Is to drone religion, to whine religion, to cant religion, tn moan religion, to croak religion, to snpulnharlKC religion, when we ought to present It In animated and spectacular manner. What we want, ministers nud laymen. Is to get our sermons and our exhortations nud our prayers out of the old rut. The old hiicliueyed religious phrases that some itinrlug down through tho centuries will never arrest the masses. What we want to-day, you In your sphere, nnd I In my sphere, Is to freshen up. I'eople do not want In their sormons the sham flowers bought nt the millinery shop, but the japonlcaa wet with the moruiug dew, not the heavy bones of extinct megatherium of past ages, but the living reindeer eaug lit last August nt the edge of Hohroon Lake, We wunt to drive out tho drowsy and tho prosaic and the tedious and the humdrum and Introduce the brightness nnd the vivacity and the holy sarcasm and the saue tilled wit and the epigrammatic power and the blood red earnestness nud the Drool re ligious seal, nnd I do not know of any way 9f dolug it as well as through the dramatic. Dut now lot us turn to the drama as an amusement and entertainment. Itev. Dr. llellowa, of Now York, many years ago In a very brilliant but much criti cised sermon took the position that the theater might be renovated nud made aux iliary to tho ohurch. Many Christian pao. pie nro of the same opinion, I do not tgree with them. I have nn Idea that suc cess Is In that direction. What I have said heretofore on tills subject, as far as I cart remember, Is my seutlinout now. Hut to day I take a step In nilvanco of my former theory. Christianity Is going to take full possession ot this world nnd control Its maxims, Its laws. Its literature. Its sclenoo and Its amusements. Hhut out front the realm ot Christianity anything and you give It up to sin nnd clout h. If Christianity Is mighty enough to manage everything but the amusements of I he world, then it is a very defective Chris tianity. Is It capable ot Weeping account of the tears of tho world and Incompetent lo make record of Its smiles? Is It good to follow the funeral, but dumb nt the world's play? Can it coutrol all the ot her elements of our nature hut tlio dramatic element? My idea of Christianity Is that il cuu uud will conquer everything. Now, what we want Is to hasten that time. How will It be done? 11 the church S olng over to the theater? It will not go. v the theater coming to the ohurch? It will not oome. What we want Is a reformed amusement association In every olty and town of the United Htntes. Once an nounced nnd explained and Illustrated, the Christian and philanthropic eapltallst will eoine forward to establish It, and there will be publlo spirited men every where who will do this work for tho dramatic element of our nnturas. We need a new Institu tion to meet nnd recognize nnd develop and defend the dramatic element of our nature. It needs to be distinct from ev erything that is or has beeu. I would have this reformed amusement association having In charge this new In stitution of the spectacular take possession of some hall or academy. It might tnke a smaller building at the start, but It would soon need tho largest hull, and even that would not hold the people, for ho who opens befcro tho dramatic element In human unture nu opportunity of grat Idea tion without compromise nnd without danger does the mightiest thing of this ceutury, and the tides of such nu Institu tion would rise na the Atlantic rises ut Liverpool docks. There are teus of thousands of Christian homes where the sous nnd daughters nre held back from dramatic entertainment for reasons which some of you would say are good reasons nud others would say are poorrea-ons, but still held back. Hut on the establishment of such an Institution they would feel the arrest of their anxieties aud would say ou tho establishment of this now institution, which I have oalled the spectacular, "Tliiink, Ood, this Is what wo have all been waiting for." Now, ns I believe that I tnako suggestion of nu institution which wiser tueu will develop, I want to give some uhnruotorls tics of tilts new Institution, this spectacu lar, It It Is lo be a grund social uud moral success. In the llrst place. Its entertain. meats must be compressed within an hour and three-quarteis. Whut klila sermons, prayers and lectures and entertainments ot nil sorts Is prolixity. At a reasonable hour every ulght every curtain of publlo entertainment ought to drop, every ohurch service ought to cease, the Instruments of orchestras ought to be unstrung. On the platform of tills new Institution there will bo n drnmn which before render ing has beeu read, expurgitted, abbreviated aud passed upon by a board of trustees connected with this reformed amusement association. If there be lu a drama a sen tence suggesting evil. It will be stricken out. If there be In a HhakespenreiiQ play a word with two meanings a good meaning nud a bad munuiug another word will be substituted, an honest word looking only way. The caterers to public taste will have to learn thut Uhnkespenreau nustiuess Is no better thnu Congruvean mistiness. You suy, "Who will dure to ohnage byoxpurga tlou or abbreviation a Hhnkespenrenn play?" I dure. The board of trustees of this reformed amusement association will dare. It Is no depreciation of n drama, the abbreviation of It. I would like to bear thirty or forty pages of Milton's "Paradise Lost" read at oue time, but I should bo very sorry te hear the whole book reud at one silting. Abbreviation ts not deprecia tion. On the platform of this new Institution Ibis speotucular, under the oh re ot the very best men uud women in the oommunlty, there shall be uolbtng witnessed that would be unlit for a parlor. Any attitude, any look, any word that would offend you eatd ut your own Ureslde, In your family circle, will be prohibited from that plat form. II y what law of common sense or of mora'lty does that which Is not lit to he seeu or heard by live people become lit to be seen or heard by l.tOO people? Ou thu platform of that spoctaculur all the soeues of the drama will t)i as chaste us was ever n lecture by Edward Everett or a sermon by F. W. Itobertsou. On that platform there shall be no curouser, nn Inebriate, no cyprtau, no foe of good morals, masculine or feminine. Worse Thau Weylart , .

A little Memphis girl who Is con stantly surprising her elders with her sage remarks was Invited out to lunch eon one day, and while she was at table she was helped to a croquette. "What Is this you gavs me?" she queried with the frank Inqulsltlveness of childhood. She was told that It was a croquette. "Well, what Is It made of?" she lnalatcd. "Of chicken," her amused hostess replied, "Oh, I sup pose that hi the reason It Is callad a cruw-quotte," she naively remarked. near Is Teroilrie Tllosde. It Isn't the fault of one of the most respected guests of Moor Park, Los An geles, Cal., If, as Is suspected, his hair has been shamelessly dyed. Ho ts only a bear and could not protest. Nobody knows how much the ambitious park commissioners pnttl to add a grizzly to the park menageries. The commis sioners were Inclined to be extrava gant for once, because they had long wanted a grizzly, and grizzlies are hard to get. What many persons claim to know quite definitely, however, Is that this bear Is not a grlzaly. As the story goes, this animal was once a common bluck bear, or "buzzard," a wortbleas, cowardly, llU.streiuod scavenger that, according to. thn huu'or who captured him, had not the right to live. So ho tried to get up a fight between the bear and thn dug.

Heads trout Isa. 61:1, 2; applies the Hcrlpture to Him self; Ho can save the poor, the broken hearted, the captives, the blind, the bruised; they questlou regarding His low ly birth; Ho onunot heal there because not ncoepted; Justifies His oourse by reforeuoe to Elijah and Ellsha; they think He puts them lower than the heathen; try to kill Him; He escapes. IX. Jesus lu Capernaum; In the syna gogue; on the Sabbath day. Teaches tho people; they are astonished nt Uls doc trine; nn uuolean spirit orlns out; Jesus easts Him out; famo spread abroad; at Peter's house; mothor-lu-law heulod; when the sun was down tho diseased aud those possessed with devils were brought to Htm. nnd Ho healed them all and oast out the devils. He "suffered not tho devil to sponk." Jesus Is not depeudont upon the testimony of devils to carry on ills work or to prove His divinity.

They glorlHed Ood, say ing, "We never saw It on this fashion." They saw that none but Ood eould perforin such a wonderful cure nud they were filled with reverence and fear. The divinity ot onr Lord Is here fully established. XI. Jesus teaohlug at tho seaside; sees Levi nt the receipt ot custom; Follow Me; A feast at Levl't bouse; sat with publicans, aud sinners; the soribes and Pharisees question the propriety ot this; the sick need n physician. Why do not Thy disci, plea fast? this a mnrrlage feast nud It is not nn occasion for fasting; two figures old gurment, old bottles. By those llguros Jesus shows that the Jewish system of re ligion was old and effete, ready to vanish away (Heb. 8:13), and that Ha proposed to replace it with somothiug entirely new. Josus culls His disciples from nmong the common people. He pays no attention to caste or soolal distinctions, but wherever He fluds an houest, humble heart Ho la ever ready to say, follow Mu. He Is preach ing by the seaside, noar Capernaum. Mat thew Is sitting at bis pluoe of business, near by, and la bis heart Is longing to join bliusoll to the one whom he already ha llevee to be the Messiah; but ho Is a de spised publiean, and has been soolully os tracized, therefore he oannot expect to be notloed.
