Lok all good people support tho dramn, and ranka it moral by the force of Ltho sontimont that sustains it, Thon, of courso, no play of n vulgar or immoral tondency would ovor ba put upon the boards, for tho spmplo resson it would mobt bo tolernfod by the moral sentiment of the pooplo.

You oo, tho brother at INendallville has not been all over the wotld, aad, evi- dontly, ho 8 not mequuinted = wlth tho private viaws and ncta of all thunking man, even on this continent, The position was taken in my sermon on amusenients, that overything ainful was spacifically condemned in tho Herip- tures, 2na pertnining o the Christinn's walic among mon, und that in’ mattera whoro the Dible 1 silent, ono has tho right to use his own judgment and discrotion uy to those things wlere thereis a differonce of opinion. Lhis wasolealy taught by tho Apostle whoro ho sines: *Oud man ostcemeth ono duy above anothor; an- ochor exfeemeth every day alike.” What advico does ho give? “Leb overy man bo fully por- nuaded it bis own mind.” ~ Now, if the brothor would presont nrgument instond of nssertions, and fuinish authoritetivo condemuntion of {ho drama, let him give at loast ono, “thng snith the Lord,” agalust it. But, if ho eannot do this, lot him Lo moro sparing of his donuncintions, and "have ity enough to allow others to diffor him i opinion, it thoy think best to doso.
