vaudeville, is at present enjoying the
greatest popularity. Plays with a
high moral purpose are almost un
known on the stages of the day.
The Key. Charles M. Sheldon, who
sometime ago essayed to demon
strate that Christianity could be ap
plied to journalism, dismisses the
possibilities of a Christian theater in
a recent issue of the Independent.
He does not undertake to answer ex
haustively his own question, “Is a
Christian theater possible?” At the
same time, he is unable to see any
thing insuperable in the way of it.
Umler existing conditions ministers
of the gospel are unable to attend
theatejs, or give their sanction to
them, because there is so much that
is harmful in them, taken as a whole.
There are good and wholesome plays,
to be sure, and actors and actresses
who lead pure and upright lives; but
they are a minority. More than one-
half ef the plays that are produced,
Mr Sheldon says, are the reverse of
helpful to the Christian life. Still,
the possibilities of the stage for good
are very great. Most persons who
attend the theater go there to be
amused

Judge Candler did not decide as to
the remaining $232,000 in the fund
question, because,'ns he said, it was
unnecessary for the purpose in hand.
The Northeastern money, it will be
remembered, was derived from prop
erty acquired long after the adoption
of ihe Constitution of 1877. Judge
Candler holds Treasurer Park, being
a ministerial officer, should have paid
the warrants without question. He
Bums up* the case briefly and con
cludes with an order that mandamus
issue requiring the treasurer to pay.
He says in part:
“Believing that when the warrants
in question were presented to the
treasurer that he hpd only a minis
terial duty to perform, aud that the
warrants issued by the Governor, and
the adyice of the Attorney General
to the treasurer t) the effect that he
was authorized and directed by the
act of 1897 to draw on any fund in

and heard among things that were
funny,” would be distinctively good,
“for a number of persons grow very
weary in the great struggle for exis
tence in tlie great cities, and need the
rest and refreshment that come from
wholesome fuu.”
While Mr. Sheldon recognizes what
might be done by the' stage in a
Christian way, he does not.see much
hope for a theater along tlie lines he
has in mind. The only way to get it
would be to establish such a theater
under church patronage; to subsidize
it, in fact, and there is little likeli
hood that any denomination would

provision of the constitution does not,
by express word or plain implication,

not think it wo.dd be proper to treat

from the sale of that property as

therein,
“Holding the above views, it is un
necessary to consider the other ques
tions raised bv the pleadings. It is
by the treasurer admitted that he has
ui his custody $77,294.83, subject to
the warrants. It is, therefore, order
ed that Hon. Robert E. Park, as
treasurer of the state of Georgia,
draw on said $7 f,294.82 and iiaid
$200,000, the proceeds of the sale of
the Northeastern Railroad to the
amount of $260,306 18, and that he
then issue checks thereon, covering
the 143 warrants described in the pe
tition and deliver such checks as di
rected by law, and to that extent the
mandamus is made absolute.”
Capt. Park says he will not be sat
isfied until the matter has been pass
ed upon by the highest court in the
state. He feels that the matter was
not fully decided by Judge Candler,
and lie wants the question of the oth
er funds besides that from the North

thinks a decision can be had from the
Supreme Court within two weeks’
time at most. There are many who
