“ C. The price of the Soul paid at the conclusion of the term of years; last hour on earth of a doomed soul. A masterpiece of dramatic realisation; especially note the device of "dramatic back-ground" (borrowed from Job xxxvi-xxxviii) ; gradual rise through the final hour of the tempest which is to break at the moment of doom. ”

“ THE STORY OF FAUST or Buying the World at the Price of the Soul The story of Faust is an Acted Sermon on the text, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." The natural heads for such a sermon are two: 1. What is it to gain the whole world? 2. What is it to lose the soul? But to act the answers to these questions is very different from putting them from a pulpit in words. ”
