Religion and the Drama

A secular paper says: "Religion and drama are becoming intertwined in a measure. Rev. T. K. Beecher has had a little theater built within his church edifice, and, on the other hand, 'Martin Luther' and 'Robert Elsmere' are the titles of new plays."
"Religion" and the drama may be becoming intertwined, but Christianity and the drama are not and never can. The drama is part and parcel of the world, and the Christian is commanded to "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world; if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15.
