The action of the first part is in Galilee, in the courtyard of Simon, the fisherman. In the last act, the scene shifts to a housetop in Jerusalem, on the evening of the Crucifixion of Christ. The play presents the religious development of Simon Peter from physical trust in his own power to true belief in God and resultant strength of character which made him “the rock on which I will build the structure of my faith.” as he was named by Jesus. The steps of his development come through his un- derstanding that Christ needs his strength, that it is not physical strength that will avail, but moral character, and through his realization that man is nothing without the strengthening power of God. The play presents the currents of thought of the times concerning Jesus, and gives historical, as well as character study. For the first time in the history of Midland, a major play was taken on the road, with immediate success. In all. 18 presentations were made during the Lenten season to an estimated crowd of 6.000 people. These performances were made at Lincoln. Davenport. Ohiowa. York. Pender. Emerson. Hooper.
