WINTER BLOOMS. f M.-dford, Or., February r,. itor Trillin,,.: Dear (Sir I have l.een deeply inter estod in t, controversy .tw,,,.n ,,, liev. Heuter and Kd. Andrews touch i"g niion the moral effect of the stage and while-the subject seems to have been pretty well threshed oat bv these cultured gentlemen, it occurs 'to me thtn there is still something that mav bo said in behalf of the bettor class! of theaters that book only the higher grade shows, arid since an enterprising gentleman has promised such n theater! ... -ueuioru. i take the Iibertv of sub nutting, 11s briefly as the subject will admit, my views on the niatler. That the stage, in the earlier historv ... cinisuaaiiy, was a great factor in the promotion of the christian religion is a tact that cannot be denied. Ac cording to J. J. .lusserand, "the oldest dramatic representation of which there is any record in England took fiacc ni rnc beginning of the 12th cen imy aim was Drought about 1 - its subject the history of that St. Calh . erine of Alexandria whom (h I.',,,., -.,.. Maximilian caused to be beheaded after she had been the means of converting 5i orators sent to her for the purpose f winning her back to paganism. A muc later in the same century, under Henry. 11, formal evidence shows the representations of miracles were of com mon occurrence in London." The early drama, it appears, was wholly created and played by the clergy or that time, and represented usually the principal subjects of the christian faith, as (he fall of man. and the na-1 '"") passion anil resurrection f Christ. The nhi'vs iv, ,.,, ,...i :.. the open air in various parts of the I kingdom. Stages on wheels were used by the performers and this mobile the i ater was moved about from place to place. These sacred representations soon became the subject of much .abuse. The clerical performers intro ducing degraded buff lery nail irrov- erunt treat it of these sublime themes until teh plays, originally int led to I tinmuiiicatc relioious instruction ,1... . g-nerated into objects of vulirar bur- lcsiiic. The l.'lth. 14th nnd loth een- turies saw the religious drama at its ' height in F.nglnnd, and the Kith cen ' V tt"y. with the discovery of printing bv ,.fciittcnburg, its decadence, liut the re : ligioiis drama had served its niirnose and during three of the dark centuries i ..j ....o n i-iMiiznrion named for su-' 1(i-niaCV it hail been i f......... ;.. i When to Take Bulbs Into the Win W.
