TIlE DRAMA,
Whilst there have been many opposers of the
Drama-inen too who have stood, and stand
high in the world, and whose opinions have
bce.n hlded down on the subject; there is
equally as powerful authority in its favour;
authority which must and will command re
spect and attention.
Mar us Aurelius, an emperor, distingiuihed
for his piety, says: " Trngedies wereO fir.
brourht in and instituted to p't men in mind
of worldly ch:ances a.nd ca-tlitie. After ti~c
trage.yI, the Conedia V. .x. or ancient coimedy,
V.';LS ben'g:;ght in woiCich hd:L the li'rtyto inveigh
agaillt personal vice-:."a
Mztrtin Luther, o1n the ubjct of
says: " In ancient tin-e4 tie dnnux,:1 it; act has
been honored li being :nad iu-bervisit to re
ligion and morality ; and in the ru:t eni-iten
ed c.mtry of antignif.', i Greece, the theatre
a pported by te State. The dramatie na
ture of the dialogue.; of' Phito has always been
jutly celebrated, and from them we -ay co
celve the great charin of (ramtic poetry. Ae
tioni I the true enjoyment of life, nay, of life
itself. The great bulk of mankind are either
from their situation or their incapacity for un
common eflorts, confined within a narrow circle
or operations; of all amusement, therefore, the
theatre is the nuo:;t profitable; for there we see
ii-poritant actions when we cannot act impor
tantly ourselves;. It af:rds us a renovated pic
ture or f lie, a comipendium of whatever is ani
ma,:tedl and intdeetin, in hmnan existence. The
suseptible youtL opens his heart to every ele
vatel feeli:g:-; the phi!osopher fiuds a subject
for the deepe.t relleLio:is on the nature and
con itution of min."
In another work, Luthersays: "Christians
oight not altether to fly and abstain from
Comedie e, becase iow and then Cro: tricks
anl viallying ia.sa-es are acted therein; for
then it wi'lfl low that by reason thereof we
-hould al o ab-tain from read.ing the Bible.
Therefore. it is of no value that some allege
s4ch1 ad tlhe like thing, and forbid christians
to read or act coniedie4."
We might, if we had time and space, intro
(uce ntoneronu para.graphs from the writinzs of
such men as Philip Melanucthon. Rev. Dr. Knox,
Lord Bacon. Dr. Philip Sidney, Dr. Gregory,
Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1'Israch, Dr. Isaac Watts,
A rchbishop Tillotson, Potter Porteous, Percy,
Warburton, South, Watson. Paley, Ridley,
Yuing, with hundreds of others in defence of
the Drama. The testimony of such men-men
Of chairacter and tone, is such as must speak in
it.- favor.
The Drama has been supported from the
tliet period1, :id for a long series of years,
ha s met with the protec: ion and encouragement
of' governmient. W, uld this have been the case
if there ha.d have been within it the seeds of
evil'? If it had been found injurious to the
well being of communities 7 assuredly not.
The Drama has met with support and favor
from christian ministers and Laymen. Profes
