AN EPISCOPAL DEFEKSB OF THKiTXES.—The Bishop of Melbourne writes a long letter to tbo Melbourne papers defending theatrical amuse- ments. He says: "It la sometimes naked, fur In- stance, whether St. Paul would have shown him- self at a theatre. No, certainly not at hoailien theatres, where the performances were usuallr connected with heathen worship. But if the question be whe'Jher he would have attended a woll-conductcd theatre in a Christian land, to witness a higta-ioncd |>ertornuince, then It might 08 well be asked whether St. Paul would have at- tended a. cricket niatcb. a ebess tounuiinent. or a spolUng-bee. In his dreumstantieii It is unlikely that he would: but It Is equally certain that ha would have called none of them unlawful. Amusement is necessary ttr youitg people, and It would be equally unreaionable to forbid one boys to play at cricket at<d to require gmvo di- vines either to Join In tbolr sport or condemn It." The Bishop concludes by raying that ho desirce "to do something to make the drama what it should be—the handmaid of religion imd moral- ity." ^ MUSIC.\I<. M.
