When the minister asked him the common questions he gave his answer so loud that every one in the church could hear it; but his hand trembled as he gave it to the minister. He real- ized that the keeping of these pro« mises meant a long and fierce struggle. Agnes did not seem to under— stand how important such a day was, and she wore her usual gay and happy smile. When all was over the people deft for their homes. The great party at \Villiams‘ was going to be held in the evening. After they came home from church Mrs. \Villiams. together with two hired girls. was very busy with the pre- parations. i Ralph was sitting in the parlor playing his little harp, while his father was reading a newspaper. At last Mr. \Villiams threw the paper aside and went into the kitchen. “Are you soon thru with all the necessary arrangements? Clara F" he said to his wife who was just then busy filling the teakettle. “The guests will soon begin to ar— rive, and then everything ought to be so well arranged that you could leave it to the girls and help me to entertain our friends.” “Everything is ready,” said Mrs. \Villiams. “except, except— —” “Except what? \Vhat is the matter?” asked Mr. \Villiams. “Well,” answered his wife, “the wine you sent for yesterday is not here yet.” “Have you sent anybody down to the depotfto ask for it ?” “No, I have hat,” said ,Mrs. \\'illiams, “and I thought probably we could get along without it to- night.” "Get along without it!" he re— peated. "Yes, we could. but then. indeed, it would be a gloomy and quiet party.” "That’s true,” she answered, “but you know that Ralph does not like to drink wine, and if you treat the guests with wine to-night. it will be hard for him to refuse to take his glass, and if he drinks his conscience will very likely reproach him." "His conscience!" said Mr. \Vil— liams. “\Vhat do we care about that. I really hope that those re— ligious notions will not last much longer. His idea of going to waste his time among the heath— en is especially hateful to me. “Let us try to get the wine as soon as possible, if it has come. I shall telephone down to the sta— tion.” Having 7 taken the receiver .ie called for the number. “Is this the depot?” “Yes. sir." "Would you please tell me whether the wine which I sent for some time ago has come or not .7” "Yes. Mr. \Villiams, it is right here at the depot. \Vhen do you Show less

They are known in Greek literature as the flower of the Athenian school. The Romans derived their knowledge of this art, as of all the‘ others, from the Greeks. After the conquest of Greece, they began to study the arts. and leading Ro- man scholars either studied at Athens, like Cicero, or had Greek teachers brought to Rome. In the oratorical constellation of this country, Cicero is the shining star. The art of oratory has found its way to every nation of modern civ— ilization. France has its Mira— bean and Bossuet; Germany its Luther; England its Chatham, Sheridan. and Latimer: Ireland its Burke; Norway its Bjornstjerne 3j¢rnson. In America. where the literature has reached its high— water mark in the oration, we have \Villiam Jennings Bryan as the star on the oratorical firma— ment. \Ve often forget that oratory is an art. People speak of it as the most common way of expressing thought. In our country we prob ably have a reason for doing so, because oratory has certainly flou— rished. among the American peo— ple. However. oratory is the greatest of arts——greater than mu- sic, than poetry, than painting. than sculpture. The orator must gather into unity and harmony all that other artists achieve separate- ly. . He must be at once a musician, a painter. a poet, a sculptor, and an architect. He must be able to take the human mind and heart and imagination for his instru- ment and play upon it all the in- finite divine cadences of rhythm and reason. The orator’s senten- ses must roll along like the blasts of the trumpet on the night air. His phrases must sparkle and , glow like jewels on the brow of beauty. His thought must unfold itself like the budding leaves and the blossoming flowers. He must think no' labor too great, no self~ denial too hard, if it helps him to become a master. Like the mighty Grecian he must love solitude, be willing, if need be, to dwell in caves by the resounding shores of the loud ocean. He must take for his companion the immortal minds who have left records of themselv- es in the books. The public speaking which has politics and business for its sub— ject is useful all important, and it ought to be cultivated by every- one who intends to do something for the elevation of his fellow- men: but fame blows not her trum— pet above the heads of those who do this work, because when truth is trampled under the feet. when injustice reigns instead of justice, ,when a people is crying to Heaven for deliverance from their bond— Show less

Then Mr. Johnson told what The (lay which Ralph had so had happened on the lake the day before and what Ralph had’done. Mr. \Villiams, of course, was pleased to hear of the courage of his son, but at the same time he was sorry because he had treated him so unjustly that he even made a confession. and Ralph was very glad to see that his father had got- ten such a good impression of him. III. Time passed quickly, and it_ was only two weeks till confirmation. They were going to have a party at \Villiams’ in honor of their only son Ralph. Mrs. \Villiams had a long list of names and was busy sending out invitations. Mr. Johnson. their neighbor, was first on the list. Agnes was also going to be confirmed the same day. and the two families had associated with each other for many years. Unndonhtedly Mr. \Villiams had a purpose of his own when he tried to bring‘ Agnes and Ralph together as often as possible. He was afraid that Ralph had not yet given up his former reso— lution of going to the mission-field. I and he thought that Agnes very likely could help him in persuad- in;r ill.‘ son to stay at home. Mr. ‘(illiaius knew that she would be long waited for came at last. It was in the year 1895, just one year after we first met him on the graveyard, looking at the monu- ments._ . \Yhen everything was ready Ralph in his new confirmation suit went to church, together with his parents. He felt and knew that it was a day of decision for him, and early in the morning he had kneel— ed in prayer for a long time, ask- ing God for help and strength to keep the promise which he' was going to give publicly in the church that day. The congregation gathered, and almost every seat was occupied. By going up to the front, Ralph and his parents stlcceeded in get— ting seats. Shortly after the services com- menced; but Ralph was so busy thinking of the future that he was not able to pay attention as he ought. After the sermon the con— firmation class took their places, and the minister began to catechise each member of the class. \V'hen he came to Ralph he ask— ed mostly questions relating to a Christian’s life, and everybody in the church was struck with amaze— ment at the insight standing manifested and under— in the an— swers. which he gave in a low but Show less

It was called “Passion Flowers" and, altho published anonymously, “the authorship was soon guessed by Emerson, Longfellow. Holmes, and others. Another volume of poems, “\Vords for the Hour”, ap- peared three years later. The con- tents of this volume breathes the spirit of the years preceding the Civil \Var. In 1855 she published a five act tragedy in blank verse, “The \Vorld’s Own”, which was played in New York—Three years following she published another tragedy, “Hippolytes”, written for her friend Edwin Booth, and in 1860, “A Trip to Cuba”. Some of her later works are: “Modern So- ciety” and “Life of Margaret Ful— ler”. . But Mrs Howe was also a furi- ous worker for the anti—slavery cause. Together with her hus hand she edited “Boston Common- wealth", an anti—slavery paper. She has also been an ardent work— er in the \Voman Suffrage move- ment. and in several social re- forms. Some of her best known lectures are: “Liberty. Equality, Fraternity". Is Polite Society PO— lite ?". “Reminiscences of Longfel- low and Emerson”, and “Greece Revisited”. Like so many great men and women of our country Mrs. Howe was a Unitarian. She has writ- ten several essays on Unitarian topics and preached in many of their churches. But looking aside from her re— ligious views, she has been of great service to her country. She believed firmly in these words: “In the house of labor best Can I build the house of rest." By far her best production and the one which stamps her as an immortal being in American his- tory is the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”.

An orator is compelled to play upon the feelings and emo— tions. This pathetic part of the oration is, however, the most dif- ficult to handle. Therefore Cicero is right when he says: “The high— est power of an orator consists in exciting the minds of men to anger or to hatred or to grief, or in re- calling them from these more viol- ent emotions to gentleness and compassion." The last part of an oration is the crown of the compo— sition. The orator there seeks to accomplish a special purpose. There is a change of style. The closing part is written in a style extremely vivid, because the orator there makes an effort to leave a lasting impression upon his hear— ers. There the true oratorical style—as it is calledfishines forth. This style which is characterized by a subtile, musical beauty, or cadence. running elusively thru the prose. this music alone is able to hold the attention of the audience till the last moment. How old is the oration, and con- sequently oratory? This question may be answered by saying, that they are as old as human society itself; because the most primitive ‘society had a public speaker in its prophet or chief or high-priest. By following history we find that as soon as leaders of men appear- ed in any walk of life, the orator also appeared. And the best proof of the antiquity of the oration is its presence in all the early his— tories of the world. We find the oration in Hebrew literature. The prophets were, as a rule, men of great eloquence. The book of Deuteronomy has been called the “Orations and Songs of Moses". They were de- livered by Moses to the people of Israel, and they are reported with greater completeness than any oth— er orations in the Bible. For pas- sionate appeal, these orations are unrivaled. In Greek literature the oration holds a prominent place, chiefly because it played a prominent part in Greek political life. The Greeks believed that eloquence was of di— vine origin. The reason why ora— tory flourished in Greece was this, that for a. long time it was a free state. And we will always notice that in the history of the world, free states alone have fostered ora- tory. Oratory was a power in the flourishing periods of Greek dem- ocracy. It was one of the prin- cipal elements of education in Greek schools. Literature, science, and art, were to be mastered on the theory that an orator must be a man of universal knowledge. The result of this passionate devo- tion and careful study was that the Greeks brought this art to the a__~u.....£ Show less

The ruling made by the Attorney General is. in brief, as follows: A student who has the intention of remaining in the precinct in which he is living for an indeter- minablc period of time, and con— siders that place as his home, is entitled to vote therein, provided he possesses the other qualifica— tions of a voter. Lam inclined to think that a question of doubt should by the judge of election be resolved in favor of the person claiming the right to vote. ‘ Any student who came to the city with the intention of remain— ing indefinitely and who considers that place his home should be per- mitted to vote’ there; but if any student who came to the local col— lege intending to stay only during the school year, with the intention of returning to some other place which he considers his home, were permitted to vote, it would, in my opinion, be a violation of the law. THE AUTHOR OF “BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC”. The study of American litera- ture has of late received consider— able attention, but it has not by a large number of our high schools and colleges been given that spe- cial attention which it justly de— serves. It is n-falsc idea so many of our people have. that the Ame- rican literature is not worthy of attentive consideration, but the sooner that thought can be ban- ished from our minds, the better we are off. Literature is, as has been said of many, a study of life, and for this reason it cannot oc- cupy our minds too much. and the time devoted to the study of it is indeed not wasted. Of our many literary figures Mrs. Julia \Vard Howe. who rec- ently died at Middleton. R. 1.. holds a unique position. Mrs. Howe was born in New York City. May 27, 1819.

But, like other great American national songs, it is awaiting a national compositor inspired by American life and nature to give it such mu— sic as it justly deserves. T117). 0. THE ORATION AND ORATORY. It is indeed a very difficult task to treat this topic in a short essay, when we consider the fact that it has interested the minds of great writers to such a degree that they have found it necessary to write books upon the same. This com— position, however, is only an at- tempt to put before the reader's mind the essence of the oration and oratory. and in brief to trace the historical development of both. The oration is the instrument of the orator, the trumpet thru which he blows. Therefore it is neces— sary to know something about the instrument before we consider the player; for only then can we ap— preciate the musician. The oration is called a standard prose—form and is recognized as such both in ancient and modern literature. Altho oratory has found occasional expression in history, in the drama and‘the epic, yet it has always been a distinct division of prose. The term “oration” is selected in preference to “speech”. “dis— course”, or “address”, for two prominent reasons. First, the word oration, in its widest mean- ing, embraces all the work done in this prose divison—whatsoever is written or prepared for public de- livery. Lord Bacon, for example. writes in the “Advancement of Learning”: “Orations are plead- ings, speeches, invectives, apologies laudations, polemics and the like.” Macaulay in his work on the Athenian orators writes: “The Greek oration from its humble be- ginnings in the Agora becomes the most powerful weapon against the encroachments of Tyranny.” The second reason why we prefer the term oration is this, that it more strongly than’ any other connotes the best literary work done by the orator. As a whole it stands for the most elaborate product of the public speaker. \Ve often hear that the terms oration and oratory are used as synonyms, but, however, there is a difference. The oration involves the art of writing, it is a finished prose composition intended for public delivery, and as it is pre- pared for some special occasion, it is consequently the best literary work of the oratorflit is his liter— ary product. Oratory on the other hand is concerned with the art of interpreting to an audience that which is written. It is concerned with voice, gesture, manner.—the personal appearance of the orator. Show less

It has been intimated that he came to in— spect conditions in the call extend- ed to him by Board of Home Mis- sions, Rev. Morgan’s former call. According to the first reports of election, received as we go to press. A. L. Markve and Rev. S. R. Tol— lefson. members of our Alumni. who were candidates for repre- sentative and senator respectively, were defeated. But altho it is an apparent defeat. still we consider it a victory for the cause. At this election. as has been seen to some extent before. the people are get- ting their eyes open for right and wrong. The result of voting on Nov. 8, 1910, will prove that- those who stand for better government are progressing and we hope the day is not distant when the rights of the people shall be dealt with more justly. Justice cannot be de- feated. LOCALS. The Prohibition League held its first meeting for this season on Saturday evening, Oct. 27, in the Theological Hall. The following officers were eleced: President, Henry T. Quan- beck. Vice—president, Arthur Lien. Secretary, Ingvald O. Thvedt. Treasurer, Trygve Narvesen. A series of debates in which stu- dents of all departments will be partakers have been arranged for. It is thought that this will awaken interest among the students for the work of the league. The meetings of the league will be held on Thursday evening ev- ery other week instead of on Sat- urday evenings as formerly. The basket ball game which was to be played Friday evening, Nov. 4, between the Augsburg Seminary and the ‘Minnesota College teams was postponed on account of dis- ' qualifications among the players on the latter team. The Athletic Society elected at their last meeting the following of- ficers for the year: President H. T. Quanbeck, Vice- president, \Villie Johnson. Secre- Show less

Show more22 AUGSBURG EKKO it is just as true, that not a few of the men who have stood in the van of the religious conflict have been guilty of forging arguments from every available source to stem the influence of their opponents. Man has a desire to throw the world, which at first appears de- void of uniformity, into a universe of law and order. His philosophic instinct impells him to search for the origin, purpose and destiny of all things that come under his sur- vey. He builds hypothesis, formu— lates his theories and finds that nat; ure in her plasticity soon yields tangible support to his theories. He discovers order and design, adapta- tions of means to ends and he is convinced that his is infallible proof for the existence of an intel- ligent author of the universe. Should anyone question the validity of his arguments he would feel as though the very foundation of his religious convictions was being de- stroyed. \Vhen the evolution theory at- tempted to account for the exist- ence of the different species, new genera. and orders, by minute vari« ations through natural selection. it was denounced as “One of the most blasphemous of the materialistic school," which, “represents science as conducting the hypothetical Creator, with honor, to the frontier of the universe, and dismissing him with thanks for his provisional services, no longer required.” Now What are the facts of the case? Orthodox theology accounts for the existence of the various species through artificial selection; natural science through natural se- lection. But how are we to account for the principle of natural selec- tion except through‘divine agency? Then does not natural selection in the last analysis become Artificial selection? However that may be, it is absolutely necessary whether you accept natural selection or ar- tificial selection as the “modus Operandi” to postulate the existence and continuous operation of a di- vine supervision. When Darwin published his book on “The Descent of Man,” it evoked not only the bitter opposi- tion of the Christian church, but even from his fellow naturalists, themselves, illuminaries in the gal- axy science. The intellectual crisis which ensued is a memorable one, and it marks a transitional period in the history of thought. The theory of evolution as pro- mulgated by Darwin in his “Origin of Species,” and “The Descent of Man,” is held by many of our ab— lest educators in this country and throughout Europe. Now it does not become a man who desires to keep abreast of the time to dismiss the theory of evolution with a mo— tion of the hand and a sarcastic smile as has been customary, even though he does not wish to adopt it as his individual conviction. «yaw ,r».

The authors which I have chosen as representative American authors are all of them found on a picture ’in the Eclectic Magazine for 1872, and the title of the picture, as reproduced on a larger scale and found in many American homes, is “Washington Irving and His Friends at Sunnyside.” On the larger picture is found the portrait of H. Tuckerman. not found in the smaller one, for what reason I do not know. The fourteen names found on both pictures are the names of men who were prominent in American public life as well as ranking high in American litera— ture during the first half of the nineteenth century. The oldest of them, Jas. Kirke Paulding. was born in 1779, and the last one to die was Oliver W. Holmes (1894‘). He was also the last one born (1809), while Jas. F. Cooper was the first one to die (1851).—Together they cover the most vital period of nineteenth century life. The one who covers the widest span of time is our first great historian, George Bancroft, born in 1800, died in 1891, a real type of an educated American, scholar and man of affairs, pos- sessing in an eminent degree these qualities that distinguish the Amer- ican gentleman, than whom there is no higher type of agentleman. It is no mean privilege to have seen a country grow thru one of the most remarkable centuries in his- tory, increasing and developing as no other people has ever done, and to have been the first to describe adequately the foundation and be- ginning of this growth as Mr. Bancroft has done in his great work of eighteen volumes, cover- ing American history up to 1789, when the Constitution was finally adopted. Some of his statements may not stand the test of later research, but in spite of shortcomings that are unavoidable this great work will always stand alongside of its European counterpart. Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. as evidence of a most painstaking investigation coupled with an almost unexampled respect for truth and fairness, while his style is dignified and noble. It were useless to give extracts from his works; but besides cal- ling attention to his characteriza— tion of George \Vashington, which is perhaps one of the best balanced ‘ encomiums ever written, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of quot- ing one single sentence from the preface to his “History of the United States:” “There is no end ' to the difficulty in choosing lan- guage which will awaken in the mind of the reader the very same thought that was in the mind of the writer.” Show less
