Andrew Young. tho distinguished Nature poet. is the authorb! a mov- ing‘ rckgious play, ‘Nicodemus!’ This is not surprising, for its writer ls a well-known Presbyterian min- lSlUl‘, iuc itcv. A. J. Young, of Hove.

The lllily was produced oii three evenings during Holy Week of last year ui Si. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, CIICLHH, England. to ‘i3 tGllgitdohillililS. The great DGCCDUOI] flCCOKioLl it. uiiitlc its publication in hook icrui imperative, for in the 50.1115‘ to cOllli: many churches which recognise the value of religious (lTZUllCi will gladly use it, not only during lloly Week but at other sea- noun of the Church's year. 1t. mav be added in this connection that if only tin-s ill inc churches who hesitate in ilicr support oi the growing lllUirlllllll. lor religious (ironic could sec Mr. ‘youngils "Nicodemus" their m eivlngs would be removed, The pl' is iiiiolished by Jonathan Cube.

The blind man is told by John that he cannot see Jesus that night. The following dialogue ensues:

Some of the finest Passages in the play deal with the visits of Nico- demus to Jesus by night. but we content ourselves with quoting the final speech of Nicodemus in the last scene at the Holy Sepulchre after the rolling away of the starlet-

Nicodemus~ Lord ask you to forgive me now;

This is the word you spoke.

The whole earth hears it. for the whole earth cries;

This is e great religious play. and all the more helpful because its per- formance is possible and well with- in the range of those churches which recognise the great service religious drama can render, At Cheam, where it was first produced. the lar audiences on the second and th rd evenings bore testimony to the tributes of those who saw f the first time who had determined that their friends should not miss the privilege they had experienced.
