Besides this, he was a member of a law debating society which ate oysters once a week in a cellar, and he wore in accordance with the usage of the most promising law~ students of the day, six cravats, one above the other.” as * a: * * :1: James K. Paulding is known as the authOr of “The Diverting His- tory of John Bull and Brother Jonathan,” names given to the Eng— lish and American nations respec— tively. The former by an English writer, the latter by the soldiers of George Washington’s army. Wm. H. Prescott is our second greatest historian. ‘ \Vhile studying, I‘believe at Har— vard, a fellow student threw a piece of bread at him at table. The bread hit one of his eyes, and he, in con- sequence, lost the sight of both of his eyes. In spite of total blind— ness, he has enriched American let— ters with some of its finest his— torical writings. =r * =9: * a: * Nathaniel Hawthorne, the au- thor of “The Scarlet Letter,” the central book of American litera— ture, is America’s greatest literary creative genius. He has even been called the greatest imaginary writer since Shakespeare. W'hittier re— garded Hawthorne as the greatest writer of the English language, and he is an excellent model for study. He said himself: “I do not want to be a doctor, and live by men’s diseases; nor a minister, to live by their sins, nor a lawyer, and live by their quarrels. So I do not see that there is anything left for me but to become an author. Haw- thorne is the great novelist of Puritanism, as Milton is the poet, and Bunyan the allegorist. Emer- son believed that the world would sooner see another Shakespeare than another Hawthorne. * * *7 * a: * My first and last and only pil- grimage was to Longfellow’s birth- place in Portland in 1882. He had just died when I arrived in Phila— delphia, so I took a run to Port- land and visited the place made memorable by Longfellow in that part of the country. Last summer I saw his bust in \Vestminster Abbey. He is un- doubtedly America's most popular poet. His Psalm of Life is par- ticularly beautiful. His Evange— line, Hiawatha, The Courtship of Miles Standish, The village Black— smith, The Golden Legends, and several more of his poems are among our most priceless literary treasures. It is said of him that he taught more people to love poetry than any other English writer, however great. \Vashington Irving, whose fig— ure is the central one in the group Show less

Studying their ideas and tracing the development of History, both secular and religious and also the history of great 'movements that have been going on, some of which show us the causes of certain con— ditions we have to contend with today. I Language used to be a hindrance to the spreading of literature, but that is no obstacle in our day. Now books are written and translated into all the languages in common use. The question of getting our peo— ple as a whole, not only students but also the common people to do more reading, is a question that ought to be considered more seri- ously. Did you ever consider the power and influence a book can have over a people? Merely the reading of a book has roused people to great actions: for instance, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe. which was a great factor in bring- ing about the liberation of the slaves. Many instances of the same character could be mentioned. Books should elevate our people to a higher standard of civilization if they would only read. \Nhat do we find when we travel about (take a tour thru the coun— try): many people do no_t possess a single book, not even the (best book in the world, the book of books,) the Bible, others may have it, but do not read it. This state of affairs should not exist in our coun— try, so renowned for its educational system. Charming says: “God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and dead. and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.” But by reading we are not only made acquainted with the past but also with the present. which is still more necessary. Some people have heard of many happenings in the past. they have read of old discoveries in literature as well as of art and religion but know very little or nothing of what‘ is going on at present along these lines. ing great things in later years and none should be satisfied without having at least some knowledge of what the great men of our day are Alumnus.

Show more16 AUGSBURG EKKO In the whole gallery of Amer- ican men of letters, there is hardly one that looms up larger and nobler than that of \Villiam Cullen Bryant, the real "Father of American Poetry." At 17 or 18 he wrote his famous poem "Thanatopsis". a poem with which American poetry fairly got its voice. The stately serenity of this poem is unmatched in literature. In his old age (at 72. I think), he translated into English blank verse the Iliad and the Odyssey. in some respects the finest translation into English. On the way to practice law in a little Massachusetts village, he saw a waterfowl flying along the glow- ing horizon. and wrote his beauti- ful verses "To a \Vaterfowl." in which this exquisite verse occurs, “He who. from zone to zone.‘ Guides thru the boundless sky thy certain flight. In the long way that I must tread alone \\'ill lead my steps aright." / Bryant was very precocious as a child. He knew his letters when a year and a half old. At four. he could read and spell correctly. and at five he knew “'att's Hymns by heart. In two months of study he knew the Greek Testament as if it had been English. and at fourteen he wrote a satire on Jefferson's ad- ministration. He is our great “na- ture poet.” His love and admira- tion for nature and all of God’s creation amounted almost to wor— ship. In habits he was an almost ex- emplary man: usually rose at five and retired at ten, took daily exer- cises and a cold bath, walked sev- eral miles a day during his fifty year's residence in New York City, never indulged in a stimulant (not even coffee). a narcotic. or a condi- ment. and treated his body as God’s temple. His memory was pheno- menal. and he spoke all the living European languages save Greek. The two following anecdotes will perhaps show how he was thought of by his contemporaries: Abraham Lincoln once said of him. “It was worth the journey to the East to see such a man." \\'hen Dickens landed in Amer- ica. his first question is said to have been. “\Vhere is Bryant?" “He spoke and lived as ever in his great Taskmaker's eye." (Haw— thorne.) Unless Mark Twain is he. Amer- ica still lacks her Charles Dickens; but we have our \Valter Scott in the first American novelist. James Fennimore Cooper. As boys. we raved over “The Last of the Mohicans." \Ve literal— 1y fed on Cooper. “He played his Indian stories. scalping and all, in spite of the fact that his stories are said to be unfit for dramatiza- Show less

The majority of the people are not availing themselves of their oppor- tunities with respect to the abund- ance of Literature written in our day. It is not only the student who has excess to the worlds knowledge in the 20th century, as it was before the time of the printing—press when books had to be copied; then they were so rare that it would take al— most a fortune to buy a copy. Only a select few could possess a book, but now. when books are so plenty- ful. literataure so extensive that one cannot comprehend the field it covers or the number of books printed every year and at such prices that everyone can afford to buy them. we are not exaggerating when we say that people are mak- ing a great mistake in not reading more books. i The reasons for this mistake may, of course. be many; but the main reason is that people are not aware of the fact that books. as a learned man has said: "Are the Pillars of progress and an inspira— tion to mankind." Too many students go thru col— lege without getting the knowledge they should have. simply because they do not get acquainted with the worlds literature. Some may neg- lect reading. others are afraid of reading, because there are so many unwholesome books written. But the fact that there is an abundance of books written every year that should never have been printed is no reason why we should not read good books. we must learn to dis— card those that will not build up, those that polute our thoughts in- stead of purifying them. Just think of the valuable information that the geniuses have worked out from the old literatures. gathered from. inscriptions on stones. skins. wood, etc. Learned men. talents. ex— perts along these lines. have worked for years in deciphering and translating literary produc- tions and making it accessable for the world. \Vhen men of letters have spent their whole lives studying and pro- ducing certain subjectcs. should not we make use of what they have accomplished, - \\'e have so much literature now that people do not learn to value it as Benjamin Franklin. who had to save part of his meagre earn- ings. which he really needed for food. to buy books; or like Henry Clays' mother. who saved pennies from her washng to buy books for her boy. Abraham Lincoln also had to exert himself in order to get books. Many people in our day have the idea that reading books is a passtime. This is a great error.

Now then, turn— ing on the light of the Christian re- ligion, let us ascertain the facts common to the subjects of Natural and Artificial Selection. What are the similarities involved if the sup- position were true? 1) Are evolu- tionists less men than we, and if not, are they not also sentient be- ings susceptible to pleasure and pain; 2) is sin less real to them, if not, do they need redemption less than we do; 3) do not they look forward to a life beyond the grave, and does not this past evince that they possess faculties susceptible to belief in immortality; then will anyone deny that they have not a soul even as we have? Man is necessarily what he is in spite of his origin. And however desirable it would be to harmonize our intellectual view with the re— ligious View of the universe, the diversity of opinions shading away into infinite gradations both on the side of science and theology makes the case appear quite hopeless. Reflecting upon the history of thought we notice how one system _ of thought has crumbled to ruin af— ter another. and undoubtedly our own systems of thought will share the same fate. In the flux of opinion one is at loss what to believe and what not. Personally if I meet with a doc- trine whether it be of science, or theology, and I do not think that my acceptance or rejection of it in- volves any real consequences, I feel at liberty to hold my judgment in suspense. However if my believ- ing a certain creed is of real con- sequence and the holding of it en- tails no harm to me even should I be in the wrong, then I can see no reason why I should not accept it. We are not now able to see and to know things as they really are, but let us hope that, when whirl— winds of passion and the storms of prejudice have subsided, and the clouds of doubt and suspicion have cleared the intellectual atmosphere, and the sun of tolerance sheds its benignant light upon the storm rid— den fields of opinion, we shall be— hold the essential truths, though of— ten crnshed to earth, rearing their heads in majestic splendor in the calm of a larger day. Thorwald Thorsen.

And if our parents and teachers had known what wild ideas Cooper’s Indian as well as sea stories were putting into our young heads. they might have ob- jected to our reading them on the same ground as that upon which the great Apostle of the Goths re— fused to translate the Book of Kings. To go back to Cooper‘s novels is like going back to early dawn. with the fresh dew on the grass. with a new world. as it were. coming into view. His themes were the sea. the forest. the sailor. the hunter, the pioneer. the Indian. His literary merits are stirring action. and vigorous description. His novels. thirty—two in number. have been translated into almost all the European languages. His name was a household word from New York to the capital of Persia. from Rio Janeiro to St. Petersburg, a most enviable reputation. Still, while he lived. he was both hated and loved. He quarreled everybody. sued a great many, won all his lawsuits, and at times lost almost all his friends. A more pugnacious, bull-headed, self—willed. warm—hearted and whole-souled fel— low never lived. He was sincere and independent. rough without and sweet within. America has produced no other man built on a scale so continental. The Spy. the Pilot, and the five “Leatherstbck- ing Tales” will be the supreme de- with light of young readers as long as the English language endures. * # * * a: * There is a temperamental dif- ference between men who write novels, dramas. essays. and lyric poetry. There is the same temp- eramental difference in the readers who prefer one or the other.—-The novel or the drama appeal to people of somewhat primitive build. peo— ple who like to see faces flushed the hot blood of passion. or those‘ who wish to get excitement out of their read— ing. and veins swollen with The essay or the poem appeal to people of a contemplative turn of mind. introspective. specula- tive. sometimes nervous natures.

Scot— land. the home of the great Scot- tish writer. Sir \\'alter Scott. There is a refreshing historical and atmosphere about Tarrytown and its surrounding neighborhood. Sunnyside was pur— chased by Irving in 1835. In and around Tarrytown. Irvington and its neighborhood. have lived a large literary number of our great men. among them James K. Paulding. and Christopher Collins. who planned the Erie canal. Poe lived in his little cottage at Fordham. J. Rod- man Drake resided on the shores of the Bronx River. James Fenni— more Cooper resided within the boundaries of Mamaroneck. The modern authors. Ii. C. Stedman and Julian Hawthorne also reside in this same neighborhood. Alex- ander Hamilton lived here. Here is the beautiful home of the Cos- mopolitan magazine. the first of the great magazines to leave the city and withdraw into the quiet country. Dr. Albert Shaw. the editor of the Review of Reviews, also lives here. So does Hamilton Mabie ; and Carl Schurtz lived here till he died. In the famous little Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow, made famous by Irving’s legend of Sleepy Hollow. there are bricks brought from Holland. and the church-bell was cast in Amsterdam. Here sat the sturdy Dutch settlers who put the windows in the church somewhat high up in order that the arrows of the Indians might fly over their heads if any arrows should happen to go thru the win— dow. Here is where Ichabod Crane kept school in the little school- house made famous by Irving’s Sketchbook. Major André was captured here just above Tarry— town. (Oct. 2.1780) on his way down to New York with the plans of \Vest Point. after his meting with the traitor Arnold. and after his agreement with him for the capitulation of the fortress. Some of America’s richest fam- ilies have built their more than lordly castles on the heights. and John D. Rockefeller's royal palace occupies the more level ground. a mile or so above Tarrytown. But there is more value to American life in the legend of Sleepy Holow. the Sketchbook of Washington Irv- ing, in the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. and the work of the authors who have lived and worked in this Show less
