Note and Comment

THE following, which is reported in a press dispatch from New York City, is quite in harmony with the religious spirit of the times:—
John R. Wright, a Baptist minister of Columbus, Kan., has signed a contract with Gordon & Bennett, of 1254 Broadway, theatrical managers, to play the part of John the Baptist in the new Biblical play, “The Holy City.” Wright says that he has determined to abandon the pulpit for the stage because he thinks that he can do more good by acting than by preaching the gospel.
The best place to act the gospel is on the stage of every-day life.
