OR “ C R E E D A N D C H A R A C T E R . ’ The senior scliolars of tlic United Metliodist Free


Church Sunday School, Low Moor, made a some­ what ambitious attempt on Saturday evening to perform the Rev. Silas K. Hocking’s popular work, “ Recd3’ford,” or “ Creed and Character." The room was well filled, and the audience gave signs of their aj^roval and cnj03*mcnt throughout. Tho schoolroom i.s not well adapted for such representa­


this was almost, if not quite the fir.st appearance of most of the performers. The stilted, self- conscious manner so frequently found in amateur performances was just noticeable, and some of the lierformers seemed a t a loss to know how to dispose of tlieir hands, but in most of tliom tins failing will probabl3* disappear as the novelty of acting wears off. The three leading characters were .Tonathan Troniain, a Cornish farmer; George Tremain, his son; and Pcrc3* FitzJolin, a scoundrel who con­ cealed his villainy under a cloak of affected piety. Of these three, the p a rt of George Tremain was


spoken style suited the p.art admirablj*, and furnished a good representation of a character that was tho soul of «ncerity, and ]ioartil3* despised every form of cant. In the scene where he delivered a sound and well-deserved horsewhipping to Fitz- John, both characters wore seen a t their best, the audience thoroughly sympathising with George’s pardonable indignation. .Ur. A. Jackson, too, as Jolinalhan Trcniain, came out very ivcll, represent­ ing a local preacher of irrepioacliablo onliodo.xy so far as doctrine was concerned,- but of very qaestionable consistcncx*. Percy FitzJohn was played by I^Ir. T. Robinson, who succeeded in representing tlic two-faced rascal in a fairly satis­ factory manner. Tho low comedian of the piece was Mr. George Garner, as Joe. a farm servant. He had thoroughl3* adapted liimself to the part, and his liuniorous movements wore well received Kate Tremaine (Miss Driver) and J^acliacl Payson (Miss M. J . Cunningliam) were tho only represesiittives of their sc.x. Tliosc who have read the original work will almost regret that the cliar- actors of Slartin and Flossie Day found no part in the piece. The other characters were well repre­ sented ns follows :-^Captain Ben Payson, Mr W E Domain; Jacob Buddie, miner and Sunday School- superintendent, Mr J Hitchon ; Abel Crantick, a miner, Mr D Cunningham ; Tom Paysou, Cai>tnin Ben's son Mr B Robinson; Dan and .lack, burglars, Messrs.

But i t was not so with the national curse of intemperance.

In the preceding year, .1636, a. fearful pestilence, similar to our Black Plague, broke out m the ^ Tyrol. Strict measures of quarantine were taken by the inhabitants of -Ober Ammergau, to prevent the introduction of the disease into^ their village.

process ^of transition from the original religious drama 'to the modern stage play had been in operation for one or two centuries before the time of Henry VIII or Elizabeth. First, as I have already described, we had the performance of events taken solely from the Bible, and the plays were called Mysteries because many of the sacred Mysteries were attempted to be set forth and explained, even such perplexed subjects as the Creation, Doomsday, Hell, and Heaven. Then, by the introduction of Roman Catholic legends, and especially the miracles from the lives of the saints, fhey get the name of Miracle Plays. Next are introduced many of the virtues and vices in an allegorical form, and personified, so that one actor would represent Chanty, another I riuh. Justice or Merc3% etc., and then the plays are calleci ^lorali- ties. Next we have imitations of the old Greek and Roman classical drama (School Comedy,) followed by the introduction of national myths and legends, and finally, we get plays founded mainly upon secular and social history, and the ordinary events of every day life. Thus we see the con­ nection betw'cen, say, Shakespeare’s well known plays and the representation by priests in the church of ‘Daniel in the Lions den.' As 1 have just said, in England the Reforma­


changed by the ever-changing conditions and requirements of the public taste.


Indeed, the

The stage fitti-ngs were nicely arranged, and tho scenery was a surprise, and reflects a groat deal of credit upon tlic energy and ability of tlic painter. I t was, we understand, the work of Mr. F. Jlobmson, who took tlie part of J*crc3’ FitzJolin, tho scoundrel of the piece. Tlic acting was commendable, considering that

To save the expense of erecting a number of separate’ stages, the 'three storied stage I have previously described, was put upon wheels, and dragged about to different parts of the town in search of an audience,' and as it was moved along, the players seem to have slopped at every public house on the way, for .we find in the accounts of the expenses of the day such entries as, "Drink to the players between the play times, 13d.," and " payd for the pla3’ers' drynk3*ng at the Swanne dore, ijs. viijd.," and " Item, spent at tavern," , occurs frequently.

The mountainous distnct from Ober Ammergaii through Austria and Switzerland to Italy, is frequently called the Tyrol. Thus we speak of the German Tyrol, the S\riss Tyrol. Stneth’ speaking, Tyrol proper is one of the Austrian provinces.


1,300 inhabitants (say a little larger than Chatburn or Whalley) shut up m a secluded valley among the Alps m the extreme south east of Germany, and almost on the borders of Austria. Many people have the impression that the Alps are confined to Switzerland, and it is forgotten that they extend from France, through Switzerland, into Germany, Austria, and Ital}’. Th e German Alps are. of course, of great height compared to our mountains, but are mostly below the snow line,. and .‘in summer are only. slightly streaked with snow, but are often covered almost to the top with', fir trees. .Ober Ammergau. though in a valley, is nearly 3,000 feet above sea level (the top of Pendle is 1,831 feet) and consequently the temperature, even in earl>* September, is usually cold, and winter clothing is a necessity.

On Tliurstlay night, November 5tlj,*‘a lecture


was .given in this place of worsliip, by the Rev., Richard Hobson, vicar of St. Nathaniors, Li\'or- pool. The subject was “ Tho ‘Holy C o at’ of Treves." The lecturer based his remarks on John xix., 2.3. He said th a t an old coat had rccentl3* been exhibited a t Treves, in Prussia, wliicli was asserted by the authorities of the Roman C.atholic


Clmrch to be the seamless one which cur blessed Jjord wore a t the time of Ins crucifixion, and for which the soldiers cast lots, as stated in his text- The Pope had pronounced i t genuine, and offered forgiveness of sms without penance to tliosc who would visit and venerate the relic. Now if lietmnces were nccos.sar.v for aosolution, how could tlic Pojie’ set them aside ? and if not necc.ssarj’, wliy were the3’ over imposed ? The lecturer gave eleven strong reasons to prove th a t this so-called “ I-I0I3' Coat" was an impious fratul. Tlicrc was not a verse of Scripture eitlier m tlio Gospels, the Acts, or the Epistles, to prove th a t the seamle.ss tunic worn by Christ was preserved by tlie soldier to wliosc lot it fell. There was no documontar3* evidence whatever, prior to 1190 as to this particular coat a t Tr(;vc.s. The size was dead against it, tho tunic in our Lord’s time being 011I3’ worn to the knee bv- tlieJew.«, whereas the so called relic wa.s five feet long. The purple colour was against it. I t was

was enormously expensive in those days. Tiic relic was ornamented, so far as could be m.ide out, witli figures of birds, and yet m .Deuteronomy God distinctly forbad this, so carefully were the dews guarded against idolatr.v. • From the dilajiiduted condition of the coat (winch was dead against miraculou.s preservation) i t was not possible to say whether i t liad seum.s or nor. Then there were not less than 40 other rival “ Holy Coats,” for which the honour was claimed of being the seamless one worn h \'o u r Saviour a t tho time of the crucifixion, different Popes having pronounced different coats genuine. A dignitary of the cathedral a t Tn-ves, who died rocentlj*, could not depart peaceably till he had put down in black and white th a t he did not believe in the so called relic. Having given these and other reasons, the lecturer asked why the coat had been brought forward. I t w a s te make money—the Cathedral a t Treves needing re.storation”, and tiic Pope pleading povijrty. I t was tlie old story of Tetzel and the Sale of Indulgences (15-14), winch prepared the way' for the Reformation in Germany bv 1 jVIartin Luther. I t was in fact making mercha*i- • disc of nicn's souls. Nearly two mUIioiis had • visited Treves and deposited their offerings, of i wliich no balance sheet would probably be jmb- i lished.
