The Theater Reforming the Church

By Editor

The Theater Reforming the Church.—And now Charles Frohman, the great theater manager, in common with prominent social workers, "feels that the church is not successfully coping with moral problems," and he wants New York's laws so changed that the theater can give dramatic productions on Sunday. Mr. Frohman may be right in his feeling, but he will not better the moral problem. What is wanted is the life, the power, the Spirit of God. The church needs more of it, much of it, sadly needs it; the theater does not have it at all. It is not emotion, feeling, sentiment that is needed; it is life.
