Triumph of Christianity

to Christianity, the Scythians are
defeated. :
Gallicanus returns in triumph
and relates to Constantine the
story of the battle and of his con-
version. When he is told of Con-
stantia’s vows, he does not inter-
fere but divides his property and
intends to become a monk,
The second part of the play
takes place in the reign of the
Emperor Julian (Marie Spence,
B.A.) who has no sympathy for
the Christians. Gallicanus flees to
Alexandria and is martyred there.
Johannes and Paulus, however, are
condemned to death after they re-
fuse to pay homage to an image
of Jupiter. As they die, Julian is
struck down.
Terentianus (Joan McBride, ’52),
when he hears that his son has
been smitten, confesses his guilt to
the Bishop who promises forgive-
ness if he will become a Christian.
Terentianus accepts, is baptised,
and praises God.
Directors of the play were Miss
Berthe Marti and Mrs. Agnes
Michels. Claireve Grandjouan,
A.B, was in charge of costumes;
Sally Shoemaker, ’58, make up;
Anne Laidlaw, ’52, staging; and
Joyce Greer, ’53, the fencing in
the battle scene. Other members
of the cast were Katherine Gef-
feken, A.B., Nancy Degenharit,
55, Elaine Marks, ’52, Mary Tay-
lor, M.A., Cynthia Cochrane, ’33,

Natural Law of Greece

ideal of natural law, while the Ro-
mans applied it practically to their
daily lives. Homer, in the Cyclops
incident of The Odyssey, showed a
concern for people who live by a
universal moral standard. At tae
end of the fifth century, B. C.,
Heraclitus said that all humana
laws should be subordinate to one
divine law. The sophists, as char-
acterized in Aristophanes’ “The
Clouds”, taught “just reason” tu
their pupils. ‘They considered a
pupli to we successful if, after his
Instrucuon im rnetoric and wide-
spread generai intormation, he be-
came a “just person and as much
of an exvrovert as possible”. Ai-
though their detinition of justice
was not very similar to the concepi
vi natural law, the sophists’ eager-
ness to learn and teach about new
fields (including the field of law)
influenced the later Greeks. Hero-
dotus shows, by comparing them,
that no one man-made law is bet-
ver than another.
This birth ot individualism,
aroused by the interest in naturul
law, made the Greek become less
a citizen and more an “homo sa-
piens”, continued Mr. Nock. Ath-
ens at this time was in an age of
pressure and tension, as today. As

the sophistic influences, the Atn-
enian empire was more interesieu
in self-enrichment than in morais.

saw of virtue. In the Hellenistic
age, this idea of divine rule be-
came more prevaient, on a: theoret-
ical level. ‘the philosophers, who
were considereu “ine leaven of so-
eiety”, insisted tnat man must live
conformatively with nature.
It was not, however, until the
Roman age that men were inter-
ested in practicing the law of na-
ture. The Romans had a “stoic
interest” in moral problems as
they affected the individual man, A
law of “correct reasoning” was es-
tablished and practiced in Rome.
Cicero said that all men at all
times should abide by one law un-=
der God. The application of this
law in Rome was done gradualiy
and with the use of equity. In this
way there were no sudden changes
and the changes made were more
effective.
Natural law, concluded Mr.
Nock, ag created by the Greeks
and applied by the Romans, has
grown and developed through the
ages, and has given faith to many
in times of conflict.
