Pa. If We look back into the past We arr
associated with the present, yet man in
no position can tell what the morrow is to
bring forth. There is always an under
current which moulds the character OF
men, without us knowing whittier

of unborn republics, which are to
claim our attention. The achievement

Oration-" Byron "-Nevin G. Heisler,
Easton-When we enter upon the sphere
of poetry we find ourselves among the
beauties of life here we find tho carvings
of the poet that will not crumble like the
| marble of the sculptor, Among the
greatest of poets is Byron, who cut loo 'e
from She methods of the time and spoke
from the heart. His poetry bsars the un-
mistakable sign of his own individuality.
He has been charged with writing upon
themes that have been under the ban of
| public criticism. The speaker, whose
! Grafton was clothed in the most beautiful
and poetical language, argued that there
was little in the poetry Of Byron that will
harm the modesty ofhumanity. Which is
the greater, those men who in our day
stand in the pulpit aud pander to the
weaknesses OF the public, or Byron, who
held up their wickedness that they might
learn from it? 1t was shown that Byron
had high appreciation of tho supreme
being whose passionate fire could not over
throw nature kindly true.
Grafton" The Strength of Simplicity

life is progressive. From tho earliest
period to the present day this is apparent.
AS this is true of animal life !; so is it true
of human reason. At the first, crude and
barbarous ideas mingled with much that
was good, but as the mind became ex-
panded by time, study and opportunity
the true stands alone. Good manners are
the simplest. good morals are the best and
easiest. The religion of the cross is almost
childike in its simplicity. Differing from
this simple truth are the intricate rites
aud ceremonies OF the heathen. All art is
simple; all nature is simple: art comes
from nature, and to bs true it must be a>
simple In poetry, innate simplicity
should by its main spring. The age is one
of utility, an! uti'itarianism is good for

IA success all life should be marked by
simplicity.
