Meat is not necessary, but it }ia 0 of the most convenient) It is always interesting to see the results of the playwrights when they endeavor to express the Christ motif. The great in- te 5 eigen in drama is struggling to born. Undoubtedly this has the strongest appeal of any subject among men, the most univer- sal, the deepest, the one most fast-rooted in tradition, the one to which all sorts and con- ditions of men would most quickly respond. There have been my attempts on the stage to show how a Christ-modeled charac- ter would act. Unquestionably the best every way so far is “The Passing of the Third Floor Back.” But the t play is et to come, the one that will deal reverent- ly with our most sacred convictions, not offend the most sensitive taste, and satisfy us by its artistry. f course, there are plenty of alleged Chritian books. Sunday School libraries are full of them. The trouble is that they are all poor art and only get by because they are pious, Perhaps more sloppy, amateur, bar- ren, and utterly valueless writing has been done about religion than about any other known theme. Still, the interest is here. It is the com- monest, and the profoundest, in all the world. Why do not the great use it? Surely if a crude book like “What Would Jesus Do?” found a million readers, a book on the same theme by such a master hand as H. G.
